I thought the current theory is that domestication did not require the intent of human beings - instead some wolves started associating with humans.

 

[Amy SF]

Well, perhaps it went both ways, and in different places. In one area, the wolves initiated contact. In another, the humans initiated contact.

Nobody's in agreement. I'm sure there are decent third and fourth explanations, too.

Yeah, like one where the werewolves acted as intermediaries between the two parties.

Or the thousand years that the humans had a werewolf king.

The Wolf Queen wasn't actually a werewolf. She was a necromancer and not a dude.

I saw that on yesterday's news. How are Tesco's going to find out whether it is an employee that had medicatation on the job or whether the boxes were tampered with ?

 

[Blobbenstein]

if it is a worker with medication then they will probably be quite worried. It would be against the rules I would think to have them in the work place of a food factory. We weren't even allowed to wear watches at Dairy Crest.

What's especially disturbing is that these people were a social services supervisor and a nurse, not the type of people you'd expect to treat children that way.

Oh Walmart

Ohio Walmart Criticized For Holding Food Drive For Own Employees

A Canton, Ohio Walmart store is under fire for organizing a food drive meant to benefit its own employees, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported on Monday.

The store set up bins in an employee-only section of the store encouraging donations of food so that some of the store's needier workers could enjoy a Thanksgiving meal, according to photos sent to advocacy group Organization United for Respect at Walmart.

Community members and store workers were upset by the food drive.

"That Walmart would have the audacity to ask low-wage workers to donate food to other low-wage workers -- to me, it is a moral outrage," Norma Mills, a Canton resident, told the Plain Dealer...

Ah, Hell-Mart. They pay their wage slaves so damn little, forcing the employees to apply for welfare (which the company encourages), and then they “help” out the workers with a food donation drive. Who says the company has no heart?

Ohio Walmart Criticized For Holding Food Drive For Own Employees

I can confirm this since they offered to hold on for me. I had been working in a management position there for over 5 years and still couldn't afford to pay my bills. I was living off of food from the food bank and ramen noodles that I was able to buy when I had spare change. I asked for a raise , a raise that had been promised me for almost a year and instead I was offered a food drive.
