If I refused to perform the job I’d been hired for and kept collecting a paycheck . . . isn’t “thief” the appropriate word?

Goddamit Kim, now Jesus has to pick up the slack since there’s one less person in the office. He’s definitely not going to be able to slide out early the Friday before a 3 day weekend.

Apparently the NHS is slated to lose alot of foreign nurses because they won’t make the salary requirements for the visa renewals, and her response was along the lines of “you’ve had a while to figure this out.” :/

Just seems like a nuts situation. I was considering studying in the UK, and even went to see schools, but…

I am American. As you’ve pointed out, other countries have laws different from the U.S.

“ the UK has always had these laws, why make a fuss now?”

The problem is that literally not a single one of his actions suggests that he has grown up, and instead he’s acting like he deserves to be forgiven when he has done absolutely nothing that would incite forgiveness. He still plays the songs, he still uses problematic slurs, and we are supposed to absolve him because…

The opposite. Not letting him into the country because he incites violence.

No country is obliged to give a visa to anyone. Here is a very short list of some of the people who have been denied visas to enter the USA (some were subsequently readmitted): Amy Winehouse, Boy George, Nigella Lawson, Lily Allen, Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens), etc.

Yeah, but I want scorched-earth devastation.

I wonder if the person was Jain and could claim non-violence and refuse to issue pretty much everything. Considering they’re celibate there would be no marriage licenses at all, and they are strict vegans who try not to even step on bugs so definitely no fishing/hunting licenses because then they would be facilitating…

You’re welcome! And to anybody who could think I’m trying to mock the US: it’s not the case. I’m a Public Servant in the Brazilian Judiciary System, currently a Law student and a civil-rights supporter, so my interest on issues like that. And I understand that the main difference that makes difficult to the US to…

Thank you for that. Its interesting to see how other nations tackle this issue, and more importantly, to see that they haven’t burst into flames or been swallowed whole by the earth.

For comparison sake’s, let me tell to the American audience how this would’ve been handled in Brazil: in Brazil, the equivalent of a marriage license - a marriage certificate - is issued by Civil Register Offices. Those are private businesses that work by concession of the State and under absolute authority of the…

Kagan is the wittiest person on the court.

Not a religious belief. Your refusal to personally participate in the killing of animals for human consumption is not afforded respect, because it is not religious. Discrimination against other people for no real reason is on a higher pedestal, because it was maybe written in a book 10,000 years ago. As you can see,…

Nope, sorry, religious “conscience” only applied to contraception and gays, nothing else.

Dear Justice Kagan,

I wonder how Kentucky officials will feel about her beliefs when the SCOTUS rules against her and Kentucky is on the hook to pay the penalties for so many blatant civil rights violations? Every single couple she has turned away would have a valid claim against both Davis and the state of Kentucky for civil damages. It…

Exactly! You’re not being forced to conduct marriage ceremonies, lady- you’re letting people file paperwork.

I feel like his middle name should start with an “H”?
