It all began one day in the pleasant town of Clearwater, Florida. While sitting around at a table playing Parcheesi, six men got the sudden urge for the smell of freshly sawed lumber and the taste of some Buffalo style chicken wings. These men did not have the access of driving to Buffalo to satisfy their urge so they decided to bring Buffalo wings to Clearwater. The men scrounged up $140,000 and purchased a building on 2800 Gulf To Bay Boulevard, Clearwater. They now had to make a rather important decision, which ultimately led to the overall success of their franchise. They had to come up with a name. They thought about the simple things in life that bring a gleam to a man's eye besides beer and chicken wings and thus came the name "Hooters". Once they agreed on "Hooters" to become the title they adopted a hooter owl as their mascot. The intention of the owl was to lesson the flack received by women rights leaders. The gentlemen then decided their waitress would where tight white tang-tops and tight orange daisy duke shorts. Dressing in this attire also brought much controversy from women rights leaders, but was ruled in court that women have the right to chose their occupation, be it a Supreme Court Justice or a Hooters girl. .
In 1991 the Hooters franchise once again became under fire with legal issues. This time the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission brought forth a charge claiming that Hooters discriminates against the hiring of males. After an intense 4-year investigation the executives maintained their stance as that they only hire women as Hooters girls, but allow other positions in the business for men. This charge brought on by the EEOC led to a 100 Hooters girl march in Washington D.C., which gained positive support in the media. Over 500,000 Hooters customers supported the cause by sending letters to the congress. Later, 24 members of the 104th congress sent a letter to the EEOC requesting them to drop their charge and on May 1, 1996 they did.
Homeless People go through life witnessing or being a part of something, which is threatening or life changing. For the most part however, some people take things differently than others.

Breasts, boobs, tits. Everyone is obsessed with them, breasts! What's the big deal over skin and fat? Men and women both have the obsession with them, in different ways of course. Men I think look at breasts in a sexual way. Women I think look at breasts for beauty, I may be wrong. No matter ...
Think of all the changes that have happened over the past fifty years. When I talk about changes, I mean there was a day when a woman couldn't vote. There was a day a black man couldn't sit on the same side of a restaurant as a white man. For the most part change is important, but maybe not in ev...
Discuss the ADA laws, who is covered, how can citizens qualify and what do employers need to do to respond to these laws. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-Simply Stated The ADA prohibits any type of employment related discrimination on the basis of disability.

It all started with Really World, a television show on MTV. This show taped seven strangers living together. This show was reality programs at it finest, so I thought. Real World first aired in the early 90's. Now in 2001 there seems to be an overflow of these types of really shows. Michael Smi...
