| How so? Legally there is what is called informed consent, which means that you have a complete understanding of what you are consenting to. I would tend to suspect that psychological, psychiatric, intellectual and social issues that are frequently present in these situations totally mask and compli... |

| The personal attacks have gotten out of hand. The criticism of people for their grammar, spelling or content has been apparent for a long time . Even some of our most decorated members are guilty of that. Maybe this will turn the page. Good idea Trevor. I do not see this as any sort of problem. The... |

| You can't void the bonuses written into their employment contracts. These aren't meaningless union contracts, they're contracts with real people . Normally bonuses are for top performance which has led to profit for the company. Why are they called bonuses if they are written into contracts as a re... |
