I think the employers should mind their own business and let me surf the net all I want.
That way I can make stupid remarks on JT all day long... Oh no! They are on to me, choking bandwidth.. now.
In fact where I work, no Facebook, reads all E-mail to and from all employees, no game or music sites, but lets surf JT!

On January 31, 2009, the Government of Canada's final assessment concluded that exposure to vinyl acetate is not considered to be harmful to human health.
Not toxic, but so what? Why was it not properly secured? Who needs anything splashed on them from a truck passing by? Big time fine please!

Why? Why do you think he should ever be released?
I'm siding with the Afghan people on this. If he did this in the US (Texas), he would be put to death.

When would be a good time to start this construction you think?
This does not even raise an eyebrow these days.
Look to hear more of such reports over the next few years, as it does not look like anyone is in charge of the funds and some people are writing checks to their own agenda.

Driving I get pissed all the time. As I look back at the event that made me angry, 95% of the time it was my lack of patients that put me in that frame of mind.

Left home when 17, had a job everyday sense.
We have several handicap spaces in the company that are filled by people who want to work, not just stay at home thinking someone will (should) take care of them. Fantastic people.
Have a few family members who can't or will not find work, ran out of "give a damn" about what they do now and turn it off when the wife starts on about how they can't find work.

This P.C. stuff is getting a wee bit ridiculous. How many have actually been court marshalled (SIC) for the violation of Executive Order 13387?
Not everyone who violates orders, is court marshaled. Some receive an Article 15 or Capt Mast as punishment or even a letter of reprimand.

Thanks for the clairification, but you sort of made my point.
You’re still missing the point that American Service Members, cannot solicit sexual intercourse from anyone, period. Not even the legal brothels in Nevada.
A major step towards the establishment of a zero-tolerance policy with respect to solicitation of prostitution by U.S. military personnel was taken on 14 October 2005, when U.S. President George W. Bush signed Executive Order 13387, which amends the Manual for Courts-Martial to specifically enumerate “patronizing a prostitute” as a violation of Article 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). U.S. military personnel will have committed an offense if they “compelled, induced, enticed, or procured [a] person to engage in an act of sexual intercourse in exchange for monetary or other compensation.”

While I agree, no one would like to see their daughters working in these places, let's keep on track. It's not a military "establshment".
They are Japanese ran and will not allow the military access. As with dozens of other "establshment" on this island that discriminate against foreigners.

Here, and you live here knowing full well that the names of these places in Okinawa are well known.
Legal status
Article 3 of the Anti-Prostitution Law (売春防止法 Baishun Bōshi Hō?) of 1956[17] states that "No person may either do prostitution or become the customer of it," but no judicial penalty is defined for this act. Instead, the following are prohibited on pain of penalty: soliciting for purposes of prostitution, procuring a person for prostitution, coercing a person into prostitution, receiving compensation from the prostitution of others, inducing a person to be a prostitute by paying an "advance," concluding a contract for making a person a prostitute, furnishing a place for prostitution, engaging in the business of making a person a prostitute, and the furnishing of funds for prostitution.[18]
The definition of prostitution is strictly limited to coitus.[19] This means sale of numerous acts such as oral sex, anal sex, intercrural sex, and other non-coital sex acts are legal. The Businesses Affecting Public Morals Regulation Law of 1948 (風俗営業取締法 Fūzoku Eigyō Torishimari Hō?),[20] amended in 1985 and 1999, regulates these businesses.

I could be wrong but I heard there was a "near miss" by a 'plane due to a passenger either playing with "tamagochi" or using a cellphone during take off. The electronic waves interfered with communications between the Control Tower and the pilot.
And they provide this how?
