You can't define community service as slavery for two reasons: 1 - You get to go home after you've completed your hours in the day - which you might argue that slaves in antiquity also had this right but it wasn't their own homes as much as it was homes rented for slaves, usually by the slave-owner...

...Hah? The gist I'm getting is that Lily had Ellen write up a character for the wrong edition so that she has to make a character in one night, at speed, without time to do the math for proper minmaxing. ...Although that doesn't quite account for writing it in quadruplicate. :| I dunno. That's pre...

My Ethics professor in college (though mind, this was *ehem*ty years ago and I may not remember accurately) defined them as morals are the rules for day-to-day living you (aspire to) follow, and ethics is the system of reasoning you use to create the rules.

Like I said, they can lay you off for any reason. Firing comes with consequences, especially ineligibility for unemployment benefits and severance, and must be with cause. That's why most employers are very fussy about documenting disciplinary actions. They want an airtight paper trail documenting y...

consists entirely of "you're fired"/"you can't fire me, I quit". ...actually, does that work in real life? I honestly don't know, I've never seen it done. Ooh, I actually looked this up once. Most times you can do it, but you'd have to be an idiot. Getting fired gets you unemplo...

And after spending the last fifteen years listening to feminists telling me that they don't hate men, no, of course not, whatever gave you that idea? They just hate everything about men.
