Being near the city centre and where they work...
Is it a coincidence the jobs and neighborhood revamping happen together? Like, first the jobs pop up and someone goes "Say, we have an opportunity here??
Or is there some collusion schemeing going on, where its all planned together from the start?

correct, nader is on the far left, so he can only hinder kerry and help bush. and republicans fought tooth and nail to keep him on the ballot, almost as hard as they are once again fighting to disenfranchise many democrats.those who are on the left and hate kerry will vote for nader.
those on the right who hate bush will vote for bush anyway.im sure nader means well, but he is being played like a fiddle by the rebublicans. i only hope that people have the good sense to not fall for this crap.
***some say that they are voting for nader, and had nader not been running, they would not vote at all. in such a case...hey...nothing wrong with that i guess. however, if you would have voted for kerry otherwise, you may as well just cast a vote for bush.
Take that Berniebros!

Or a company may demand moving into the city.
This is how a person I know lost his job. He commuted from CT, and his bosses kept pressuring him to relocate to the city. His working hours would not be affected, so to him this made no sense, and so he refused to do it. And they found an excuse to cut him loose.
I asked about this on Quora, and got replies to the effect that there are economic incentives to businesses using local workers (Probably simply so officials can crow about using local labor when unemployment is high), which results in said pressure for commuters.
Very underhanded, in my opinion.

So my sister was telling me that in her Communications class in college, they had to do an assignment on proper pronouns and LGBT whatever, and one of her classmates who is a Christian immigrant refused to do it.I had the a similar thing to do in my Comm class.
Our public school system is retarded.

This is some hilarious shit, right here.

I don't get it why people get offended when people mock their ethnicity, nationality, or race.

I have noticed that a lot of the times those who get offended by it place way too much of their identity into what their race, etc.
I'm f*cking pissed off. Not too far away from my house a car was stolen and it had a 7 month old baby boy in the backseat, the mother had run into a store real quick.
The car was found abandoned several miles away and the f*cking baby is gone.
This is not good. If the baby was alive why not leave it with the car?
I find myself wanting to commit violence against whoever did this.

This the same story? Baby was found, unharmed.
It says parentS, which means one of those assholes could have stayed with the car.

That story seems to be about an incident in New England, but I live in Chicago.

I almost wonder, if you were a parent who murdered your kid...this would be a good cover up right?Cuz I just can't see how someone who just wanted to steal a car would decide to murder the baby and make his situation even worse.
There has to be more to this.
This was my first thought actually.
