I touched on that aspect in a reply to another comment. Some contracts will include a two week notice. If you sign a contract with such a clause, you are obligated to do so. This detail matters if you plan on collecting unemployment, considering gov't benefits is determined based on who was the one that officially…

You'll be amazed at how quickly people forget about stuff they saw on the Internet. One year from now (probably sooner) her name and face won't ring any bells.

I never said she wasn't awesome for sticking up for what she believes in, but there are better ways to do it, in my opinion.

In this hypothetical contract, yes. She can tell people she quit, but if she uses the company as a reference in the future, they can say she didn't quit and that she was fired. It's all word play with legally binding definitions vs the spirit of the "resignation."

She probably signed a contract requiring that she gives the company two weeks notice. If she just gets up and leaves, they can "terminate" her for either what she did or for breach of contract.

Your last point (time frame for that BAC) is valid. However, witnesses to the wreck can only prove she committed the crime of smashing into things, but that's about it without her BAC taken at the scene.

Your last point (time of response) is key.

I noticed that. If the police didn't stop her in the car, it would take the most incompetent lawyer to not get her off on that charge. Logically, she was definitely drinking and driving, but according to the letter of the law, the police had to bite the bullet on that one.

There was, of course, no "joke" in Gervais's original tweet, and he knows that.

Because Ray Rice was white...

Spirit of the law versus letter of the law. I think this cop is embracing the spirit of the law, which is extremely rare.

The answer to the second question in the headline should always be "I was being a dick."

Anthony Cumia makes anger-fueled tweets (no physical contact), fired. Rice literally beats a women unconscious, two-game suspension. Yeah, clearly a problem here.

This is the greatest sports article I have read in quite some time. *slow starts dramatic clap scene*

Meanwhile, I still cannot land the jet on the NES Top Gun game.

Sometimes, the rival school has a better program of whatever it is you want to get into. For example, a Kansas fan who wants to get into journalism will be better off going to Missouri, an equally bitter rival as Louisville and UK.

The biannual Gawker Media attempt of minimizing their tendency to generate clickbait headers. I swear someone else at Gawker wrote pretty much the same thing within the past 6 months.

Why anyone would want to go hangout with a bunch of white, suburban yuppies is beyond me. Sometimes, I wish security would have denied me entrance whenever my friends would drag me to Power and Light District. This Ballpark Village sounds exactly the same. It's for white suburbanites and tourists, i.e. HELL!

This is the greatest comment in the history of comments. It makes all the mind-numbingly retarded comments I read on a daily basis worth it.

I understand what the OP is saying, but the black civil rights analogy is appropriate when explaining why people need to still announce their homosexuality in certain sectors of society. To start, the inequality (prejudice, unable to marry, etc) is extremely analogous to a pre-1964 America towards minorities. But why…
