I wonder if the same comments about 'entitlement' if she was white and just sued for sexual harasment?

To compare her situation to that of Hank Aaron(+30 years ago) and Jackie Robinson(+65 years ago) is like trying to compare cars from 2008 to those made in the 60's and in the 30's. In this modern era people have the right to fair and equal treatment, and yes it took lawsuites like Brown v Board to get those rules established.

Companies know what the rules are and if they choose to break, ignore, not enforce, or other wise dismiss them, they knowingly open themselves up to these types of lawsuites. In sports if a player breaks the rules they are fined by their league. If the league breaks the rules, their fines are brought by suites.

I'm a young black male and I work in retail sales. I live in Oklahoma, I still experience descrimination on a daily bases by the customers I help, or attempt to as many will rather wait for one of my white co-workers instead of letting me help them after repeated 'hello's and 'can i help you's. Im proud to see America has come along way from my mothers day and age, but there is plenty of room for improvement. Im glad I've got a great group of co-workers who will and have had my back.

Sounds like this lady wasn't that fortunate. If she stood up to it for 2 years and had no support from her employer and the discrimination came from her fellow employees she took her only other course of action. Hit 'em where it hurts, then maybe they will listen since they hadn't. NASCAR has a deep legal team, so if they decided to settle, they realized they didn't do all that they are required to by law. I doubt she got a quater of that $225mil she sought, most these suites are by legal teams that take there cut at the end.

Money doesn't solve the issue but it can grease the wheels of change.

Oh 1 more thing before I end. Barrack Hussain Obama is my president and proud of it!
I heart the fuze!!!



now that i made myself look like a tweenage girl on the internet, can you heal my manhood with a fuze?

thanks in advance
IPTV i out in the US....if you have the new AT&T U-verse service in your area, then you can get IPTV. IPTV tho in the US is Microsoft backed(if i remember correctly)would be one reason i doubt we will see that service here. Bandwidth is becoming less an issue with many telecoms offering FTTP and FTTN services in most major cities and expanding rapidly.
Y are drug dealers and terriost the 1st things that pop up in ppls heads when u talk about prepaid phones??? 95% of them are used by law abiding citizens who either A) dont use a phone enough to justify a monthly bill B) cant afford a monthly bill or are credit chalanged or C) dont want the hassle of a contract.

just because 5% of the users use it for illegal activities doesnt mean all users should be grouped in that catagory.... i bet more illegal transaction are handled per day over contract plans than prepaid phones.

its this ignorance that allows the gov't to get away with stepping on ppls toes....have you heard about the guys arrested in michigan for going in to walmart and buying a couple hundred prepaids.... they where texas and (im from oklahoma) and they are constantly out of stock and are on back order alot.....i thought about saving some money on a few pay checks goin out of town and buy a few boxes ....buy @ $25 sell @ $35-40 ...its basic economics! They where arrested and never charged and still are being held with no charges.

pre paid phones are a service just like any other that can be used for good or bad but its up to the users just like any thing else
Over the air any day over sat or cable.....i use cable HD (cox) as well but if the show im watching is locally broadcast in HD im turning on my good ol directional amplified antenna and getting better clarity and picture than the 'HD' i get from Cox
i was thinkin a charger and a 05 stratus mated and this thing was birthed 9 months later......i like the looks kept the sharp lines aon the rear and along the side of the body of the charger....also kept the charger 'eyes'(headlights).....but the proportions of this car seem off for wat ever reason cant put my finger on it....hope the CRD makes it to this side of the globe but i doubt it
the EVDO network will become their 'base'network like how their 2.5G(basic vision) network is now....Power Vision(EVDO) will be your service in areas that doesnt have WiMAX....so your 'slow speeds' will be 1Mb+ ....correct me if im wrong
hey im 21 still in college and i am on my SK 95% of the time i hate to transition from my quick typing english to my more proper english....hey im just being me lol
wat i dont get is why every1 is complaining??? this is great news for serveral reasons

it gives the consumer more choices.....why spend $60 a month for cable/DSL @ home when for the same price i can get the same speeds wirelessly from any where

it would force cable/DSL operators to either drop prices significantly or raise speeds significantly or probably BOTH

with a unified standard being worked on early you dont have standards competing (GSM/CDMA ..UMTS(HSDPA)/EVDO-rx)that means the prices of the equipment should be lower since everybody is manufactoring the same equipment(just probably different frequnecies but if sum how that could b unified as well that would be even more amazing)

and with the bandwith afford by 4G your cell phone service provider could also offer your wireless IPtv and simular functions that Verizion wireline and SBC are trying to get into

more competion

more choices

consumers FTW!!

ps dont make comments on spelling and grammer its sad to see ppl ignore the big picture of a message because they dont like someones writing style
no vvr it cannot 'fully' b unlocked.....all the data on sidekick devices go through dangers servers with specific APN ids for its parnering carries( cingular is not 1 of them)....so u would have a 300 voice phone because none of the data end would work
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
