A truck driver was doing his usual load delivery at a mental hospital, by parking his vehicle beside an open drain. He discovered a flat tyre when he was about to return from the mental hospital.

As he could not fish the bolts in the open drain, he started to panic as to what should be done? Just then, a patient happened to walk past him and asked the driver as to why he was looking troubled. The driver thought to himself, since there is nothing much he can do or this mental joker can. Just to keep the bugging away, the t...

R. Gene Farley  |  Commented  |  10 months ago
Very good, I've misjudged people whom were quiet, introverted, and not conversant. When I did ask their input into a situation, their thoughts were many times helpful, even sometimes astounding. As the saying goes "You can't judge a book by it's...

Good story, Jabir. "Under-estimation" is a disease that had crippled the mankind"! Its very difficult to get over the syndrome, unless and until one strives to look at the other side with open mind!

It will eventually cause the prisoner insanity, which is as close to the murder suffered by the victim. The sentence should always include "wiothout possibility of Parole". I believe the same sentence should apply to pedophiliacs, with the exception of...

For the major oil companies that I serve, e-training is the most financially feasible training to reach the greatest number of employees on the most varied platforms.
Niranjan K Joshi  |  Argues in support of  "Normal Training"  |  2 years ago

Job satisfaction is more important than salary.Intellectual satisfaction,recognition  is as important as salary.
R. Gene Farley  |  Argues in support of  |  2 years ago
It depends entirely upon the desires of the individual. To accept more responsibility, perform more complex tasks and lay the groundwork for the abilities to do so; with education, longer hours, etc. results in a higher salary. To accept more mundane...
RAMESH KANDADAI  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
Salary is something you negotiate once and take home once every thirty days. Job satisfaction keeps you happy every minute of every day. So ideally a good balance of both is required. But there is no doubt in my mind that, of the two, JOB...

Consensual Sex between two legal adults cannot be termed as rape. However if the female alleges rape, the onus is on the male to prove otherwise and is quite difficult given our social apathy to this.

R. Gene Farley  |  Added idea  |  2 years ago
Someone has mentioned this, perhaps in another discussion, however, it strikes me as something to be researched. Obviously, it is certain that autos must be re-vamped. Yet, what about industries and homes burning fossil fuels? Can't these emissions...
