Reminds me of an old analogy I read somewhere, concerning the whole 'out of sight, out of mind' tactic that the homosexuals try to use.

Basically, it went like so:

A sickly guy is in an elevator. He passes gas. Lots of it (moral relativism, destruction of American culture, abortion, homosexuality, what have you). Once he gets to his floor, he leaves.

Meanwhile, other people start using the elevator, and they start gagging on it (American citizens). However, it's confined to the elevator...that is, until the sickly guy starts passing gas on the outside (normalization of very abnormal things).

Eventually, the entire building is filled with gas (America after it's lost everything that makes it American)...and is then scheduled for demolition by a gigantic wrecking ball (a revolution, maybe?).

Just trying to keep illicit activities out of your work life isn't enough. Eventually, it WILL spill over, as it has before.

Or you could just follow the rules.

Wow, you mean actions have consequences? Employers have rights? Only a liberal thinks otherwise.

I am not sure the "Flying Spaghetti Monster" really cares about cohabitation. I sure don't.

I'm sure that's true. Neither do Zeus, Bhudda or Zoroaster. However, the God of Abraham actually exists and does care.

actually this makes sense in states where "recreational sex partners" can claim health insurance benefits.

Not a double entendre. A woman can live with a girlfriend as a roommate. Doesn't mean they are lovers.

(Everyone who's in favor of this, are you ready to endorse being able to terminate someone if they don't go to the "correct" church?)

That's not an honest argument as she was not terminated for not going to the "correct" church, but for cohabiting with her boyfriend.

Uhmmm..I don't remember me saying anything about the millitary. Comparing employment at a skating rink to that of millitary service is flat out ludicrous to be gentle. This is truly one of the lousiest comparisons I've seen on this post and does nothing to bring clarity to the issue.

When you join the millitary, you cede your constitutional rights. You take an oath on top of that. Members of the US
Armed Forces are not subject to civil law. They are subject to the United States Millitary Code of Justice. So, do me a favor and don't waste my time with this drivel.

Um, I think CzarNicky was refering to the line about "blaming it all on Bush".

Even if you show up everyday and do your job as asked?

The only obligation the company has is to pay her for her hours worked, not to give her continuous employment.
