Young woman gang-raped in India dies

Employees are Verizons most valuable resource.
They boost their stock price everytime they lay some off.

Then you aren't that valuable and don't have the marketable skills they need. That is your fault, not Verizon's. Apparently they found a way to get your work done more cheaply and as effectively. That is good business. Don't blame them. Blame yourself.

But, hey you got 99 weeks of unemployment right? And Obamacare got ya covered. If you are 26 you can go on your parents insurance
 
I had the skills but as you say they found a cheaper although somewhat illegal way.
You see customer records in the telephone company are protected by law from foreign or unauthorized domestic viewing.

they got this law hanged during the bush years along with their exemption for violating federal wiretap laws under the directions of the Bush Administration.
You scratch my back I will scratch yours.

I was over 50 years old. Virtually unhireable. Although I did get a programming consulting job for 6 years for $75/hr.
Then I went on SS disabililty for health reasons of course and the fact that no one would insure me because of pre-existing conditions.

If you have preexisting conditions, then it isn't insurance. It is hard to believe that people don't understand what insurance really is.

If you have insurance thru an employer and you lose that job because of your health condition then your insurance dies, COBRA only lasts a while and costs twice as much as when you were an employee.
That is where the pre-existing condition bites your ass and you file bankruptcy as a general rule.
One thing I found out is that bankruptcy will even go after your pre paid funeral/burail expenses.

So I decided to collect on all the SS I had paid in all my life. Not for the income but for the medical coverage.

Your post just further proves my point that you don't understand insurance. Don't feel bad. Many people don't and that is how we got in this mess

I sometimes question whether governments should have the power to put violent criminals to death. Then, I read stories such as this one, and I am reminded why I support the death penalty.

On another note, I would venture to guess that the attackers weren't Sikh, Christian, or Hindu. Rape truly is the seventh pillar of Islam...

What proof is there that this has anything to do with Islam? Did you you read the account, it's mentioned in this article, of the girl who was gang raped during Diwali and committed suicide after being pressured by police to drop the charges or marry one of her attackers?

If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl’s father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives. Deuteronomy 22:28–29

I don't see much reason to believe the problem is Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism or even religion in general but the lack of legal rights for women.

actually, i would suggest the old english penalty for treason...first they tie a rope around their neck and hang them for a short time (not long enough to kill them) three times, then castrate them (males only), then slit open their abdomen and pull out their intestines, then tie ropes (attached to horses) to each of their arms and legs, then cause the horses to all charge away at the same time

while i support ending the death penalty because it is to lenient, however, their are some cases where the world would be a safer place where a person is removed rather than incarcerated...preferably after being subjected to cruel and unusual treatment

oh well

that was my point

while i think that there should be exceptions to the 8th amendment, it would require a modification to the 8th amendment which is rather unlikely

however, it should be reserved for 'special' cases (like people that are in prison for life without the possibility of parole and kill while in prison or after escaping or while escaping) and approved by scotus

however, does india have an equivalent to our 8th amendment or a death penalty?
