A teacher said i have mono..?

i recently kinda dropped out of school to take online classes until next year, but not for any particular reason and i was told that a teacher of mine told every single one of her classes that the reason i did that is because i have mono. can she do that? thats ok for her to do?
Answer:
there is a thing as defamation of character.
People spreading lies about other people and discrediting them.
Ive only seen it in the work place, and not at school, but you could tell the principal, and even take it up to the superintendent or board of education for the region if its really bothering you.

Mono's not such a bad thing, it would be different if she said you had an STD, but it could still be percieved as negative.
If it bothers you much, report it.

Teachers shouldnt be speculating on things to their students.
Id say she/he would get reprimanded unless you really felt compelled to pay an attorney.

This is, so long as you have proof your teacher said those things.
I would sue her for slander if I were you kissyface.
only it its true, i think its contagious.
No i don`t think it is
Go to the Doctors
I don't know of any law that prevents her from doing that. However, her comments are definitely unethical. Your school may have a policy preventing her from discussing your health. Can you prove the teacher actually said you have mono? If so and if the school has some kind of privacy policy, you can take action. Notify her superior about her inappropriate comment. If that doesn't help work your way up the chain. Good luck!
I think she was trying to protect you. Mono is not necessarily an insult.

A shop at Fortune Cente did not return back my change. How do I make a complaint and get back $$$? I am upset.

She claimed to return back the change. But the change is not my change. I am short-changed.

I will go to that shop next to the uob/ocbc atm again at Fortune Cente and find the name.
Answer:
File a complaint with the manager. Since I'm sure they count the cashiers drawer each day they'll be able to see if there's extra cash in the drawer. As a former manager when working through college I can tell you that mistakes do happen, and most are honest and thus caught when the drawers are counted. If there's a camera looking at the register then they also might be able to see what you gave her, but even if there's image there's no promise they'll be able to see how much you gave her.
I'm afraid you've lost your money.You should always check your change before you leave the counter.It's your word against her's,unless you have a witness you have no case.Sorry.

A second Felony while on probation?

My daughters bio father has a felony right now. (I don't think that it matters what 4) He was put on probation for 5yrs. He is do 2 get off of probation in about 1 1/2 years. But the other day him and I went 2 court 4 unpaid child support %26 it was filed as a class A mist miner. While I was there he was 45mins late so I got 2 talk to the state prosecuting attorney alone she says she wants to dismiss the case and go with a felony. I said ok. He later showed up but neither the prosecuting attorney or I told him that they were going to refile it as a felony She just told him to pay the support 4 that month. She asked him were he was living he answered but refused 2 say who he was living with. She thinks that he is lying about his address which he had 2 report 2 his PO or he is violating probation. He has violated probation twice before. The 2nd felony I know will be another Violation b/c he's already on probation for a 1st felony. %26 if he is lying about his residence that would be another violation. My ? is once they pick him up for his 2nd felony. He will have 2 go 2 Jail until some1 pays bail 4 him he will then have 2 go 2 court 4 violating the 1st probation (I don't no how many violations this would be 4 him I no at least 3 maybe 5.)WILL THEY MAKE HIM SERVE THE SENTENCE THAT HE COULD OF SERVED IF HE WASN'T PUT ON PROBABTION OR WILL THEY AT LEAST PUT HIM BACK ON PROBATION 4 AN EVEN LONGER PERIOD OF TIME OR WILL NOTHING HAPPEN? I need 2 know what would happen even if he got an attorney 4 all of the violations b/c I no he will! Even if some1 could tell me a more then likely out come!
Answer:
Probation is far different from parole. When a person violates their parole, they can serve up to the remainder of the original sentence. When probation is violated, it can be far worse as the person is "re-sentenced" on the original crime. For example, if a person is convicted of a felony on a charge that carries, say, a ten year maximum sentence, and he is given probation instead of jail, that is usually a good deal. However, if that probation is violated, he or she can be re-sentenced up to the maximum allowable sentence. Sentencing guidelines do not apply in probation re-sentencings nor do double jeopardy implications. Also, if he gets a jail sentence for the second felony, it can be imposed consecutively to the new probation violation sentence, meaning that one will have to be completed before the other is started. This could equal a very long time.
If you don't want your daughter's bio father away for many years, I would suggest not aiding the State's Attorney as much. Certainly the father has a responsibility to pay what he owes. But this Attorney seems really shady and unprofessional. Once the sentence is handed down, there is very little chance of going back. Think this through. Good luck.
It's unlikely that they will keep putting him on probation be prepared for him to go to jail and serve his sentence.
First you should learn how to type words out and don't be so lazy!! VOP they'll probably make him serve his probation time which is 1-1/2 years plus any new time that he'll get sentenced with. But call an attorney or public defender.
I don't know what will happen. I know what should happen. They should make him water ski around the world nonstop. As for you. They should give you a tube job so you will not bring any more children into this world under the kind of conditions you live. I would bet a dollar to a donut that you are on welfare.
Only the Judge and court knows for sure right now. We sure do not.

A relative ha died. when he was alive he signed his house over to an equity company. the house is a big mess


Answer:
And?...
Further details would greatly assist with an answer..
Really? You dont say.
Well im right-you didnt say. We dont know what you are talking about.
Really Sorry to hear one of your relatives has died...
The Executors of his Will should seek legal advise ASAP.
Do you mean the house is a mess or that the paperwork for it is a mess and that you dont know who owns it ?

If it is the latter, then the executor should put the house on the market and the Equity company will have a contract (there should be a copy in your relatives possession) which will state as to how much they are entitled to from the sale of the house. It could be as much as 50% but it will depend on the contract that your relative took out with them.

The executor should get in touch with them straight away so that you know where you stand.

A relative "borrows" from me, and breaks the item upon return, is there any legal action I can do?

So in August 2006, I went on a cruise to Alaska. My aunt is watching over my house for me. While I am gone, my cousin comes over, and takes two of my video game controllers home with him, and doesn't tell me. When I ask him if those are mine, he tells me that he bought some too, so I believe him. Then, in April 2007, I get suspicious, and ask him if they are really his. He then confesses and says those controllers are actually mine. So upon return, I plug them into my video game system, only to find out they are broken. I'm 16 years old, is there any legal action I can do to get compensation?
Answer:
Unfortunately these things happen. My little cousin once ruined my collection of Ty's. But it is family. The controllers are not worth as much money as it would cost to take legal action. Plus It would not be advisable to because it would put hardship between the families. I would just talk to your mom and dad. life is to short to fight over the small things. Even though they seem really big to you now, it is not worth loosing family over.
Kick their butts, and enjoy it.
Small claims court if anything, but the judge would probably laugh in your face. sorry.
No but I would 'discuss' this problem with him, WHILE my aunt was in the room. I don't know what she'd do, but if it were my son...I'd make him replace them.
you want to take legal action against a child who is a member of your family for taking some game controllers? thats just wrong. he shouldnt have taken them you and his aunt should talk to him about taking things that dont belong to him but legal action seems a little bit harsh dont you think?
Forget legal action. Talk to your cousin and your aunt and try to work it out amiably.
You and your parent (you may be too young to pursue legal action) can take your cousin to small claims court for the cost of the damaged item(s). You don't need a lawyer, just proof of how much the controllers cost you and that your cousin had them in his possession. Good luck.

But by the way, if you did take your cousin to court over (how much did the controllers cost you? one hundred bucks?) property damage, you're going to create a serious rift in your family. That's just how it works sometimes. Your best bet would be to seek compensation through your parent and your aunt. Go to your parent, explain the situation, and wait to see if your aunt is willing to pay you back for the damaged/stolen items. If your Mom or Dad refuses, go to your aunt directly.
You can take him to small claims court to get compensation. But dont you think that family is worth more than a few bucks. Can you go to your uncle and explain what happened and have them get your coousin to pay. There has to be options other than taking family to couort and getting strangers involved in family business. Hell if I took a family memebr to court I would need the money I won for medical care.
let's see ,first was Aug ? and then you bring it back 8 mths later ,you must have a very boring life ?
you telling me you didn't plug the game for 8 mths ,because you where missing two controller's ?
you 16 yrs old ,so legally nope you cant do anything ,but for God sake it's video game controls ,get you new ones and keep your cousin .
life to short for pity crap like that .
I would have a talk with your Aunt, and ask her if she knows that your cousin took, your contollers, and broke them, and if she is aware of this, then tell her you want a replacement. Basically, you did not give permission to use the controllers, and he stole them, then tried to lie to you, but then confessed. If he has new controllers,take, his, or their should be some kind of compensation.
Yes you sue for what is called conversion. This is when the item is taken or made no longer useable by the rightful owner. In this case the defendant would owe the market value of the item. As a 16 year old you would have to have a parent or gaurdian sue for you....but in this case we are taking about maybe 50 to 70 dollars worth of property...the filing fees would be about that amount...probably not worth it...especially if you lose.
If he is really your cousin you should make him buy you new ones. If he doesn't then tell your aunt because it was her responsibility anyway to keep everything safe in your home. She should come up with a solution for this situation. If your cousin was my kid I will make him work his *** off to pay for what he has broken. That's the way it should be. You break it you replace it.
Taking without permission with intent to deprive the things from the true owner is theft. You could have him arrested. You could also sue. The fact that he's a relative doesn't make any difference, except that it makes it more likely that a jury would believe he had your tacit approval than if he were a stranger.

As a practical matter, there's nothing. It happened too long ago. Even if the stataute of limitations hasn't run, the police and DA probably wouldn't prosecute anyway because he's a kid, he's your cousin, and they're only game controllers. As for filing suit, you could take him to small claims court, pay the filing fee, and present your case. You win, your cousin pays. You lose, not only are stuck with broken controllers, but you'll also be stuck paying the court filing fee. Again, since it was a few youersa ago, you might be SOL, depending on your state's laws.
IF you have any proof at all...say, a witness to his confession...take it to the police. The charge is theft. He'll likely be willing to pay for the items in order to avoid going to court and getting a first offense on his record--but if not, follow through, or he'll consider you a pushover.

Otherwise, chalk it up to gaining wisdom through experience, and learn SOMETHING from it.

A question for American Citizens interested in the Abortion Debate?

Is it ethical to limit abortions to once a lifetime?
Answer:
I would say no.

Either it's wrong or it's not. If it's not wrong, there's no reason to limit it. If it is wrong, then why the exception?

Interesting idea, though.
It's considered a medical procedure whether one agrees with it or not.

Would it be ethical to limit taking antibiotics to once a year to stop resistant disease from forming?
I don't think so. Its either a legal thing to do or it isn't. It should be up to the individual and their own beliefs to decide that though, I think.
Im not sure how I feel...but I know a girl from my home town who has had three abortions and planned parenthood said no to her last one and now she has a daughter.....


3 abortions before having a child...and only becasue she was denied another abortion! .makes you wonder what she thinks of birth control!
If abortion is bad enough to limit its use to once in a lifetime, then why wouldn't you just ban it altogether? If you don't think abortion is wrong, then why would you want to limit its use?

Whichever way you fall in the debate, this suggestion doesn't work. It's a compromise that doesn't especially satisfy either side of the issue. It also doesn't account for the arguments made by both sides.

Pro-lifers believe abortion destroys a human life with rights. Pro-choicers believe abortion is a right of the mother. So, since both sides believe they're protecting rights, it stands to reason that both sides would oppose restricting these rights in some way.
Except in the cases of rape, incest, or mortal danger to Mom? Interesting thought...
No more than it would be ethical to allow a murderer a pass on his/her first kill.
No it is not ethical. Any person should be able to do what they want with their body or what is inside of it. Freedom would be a great thing if it existed.
personally, i believe it is a personal choice, all depend on the thickness and fertility of the remaining womb. But also, i just dont understand why people wont be bothered to put on that rubber thing.
No, is it ethical to murder innocent people.

Pro-Life...it was your mothers choice too.
no, i think you shouldnt judge someone for having an abortion, because unless you've been in the situation you dont know how it feels. God didnt give you permission to judge
That would be intersting, but what about an "abortion credit"?

If my wife goes through her life and never has an abortion, but has this "abortion credit", is it transferrable? Could she pass it down to her daughter? Does the son get an "abortion credit"?

At what age does it become valid? Does a woman lose her abortion credit if her husband gets a vasectomy?
yes and no there are so many things that factor into this in gods eyes it is wrong but the women who get raped they should have this option what if she got raped more than once should she be forced ot keep the second one or well have it anyway and then put it into the system what a scary life. there are so many women that lay down w/o thinking about having a baby and when the time comes they just kill the child i don't think that is right i think you should have a reason to back this up like maybe ur husband beats you or something who wants to bring a child into that. over all women have the choice but they also need to think about what could happen b4 they do the deed. i think it would be hard to put a limit on it there are special circumstances but on the other hand maybe if there was ppl would think so i am not really sure what side of the fence i would be on i am sure that didn't help a lot but its what i think
i could see one or even two depending on the situation, but after this you should consider sterilization if you really don't want children or learn a better form of birth control!!
Each person should have a right to whatever they choose to do. After all, its not government鈥檚 money being used on this it鈥檚 the patients. We shouldn't judge anyone nor force anyone to have a child if in fact their not capable of taking care of it. The government will end up supporting the child if so (exp. Medicaid, food stamps, WIC, ect.)
I don't believe in abortion as birth control.,However, as a man, I wouldn't have to put myself through an abortion. Therefore,giving advice on abortion is ludicrous.
Well think of it like this. A girl was raped and her parents r severely strict. She got an abortion. It happened again in her lifetime, unfortunately, but the law restricts her from doing so. She argues that its her body and its not her fault. But, the law prohibits her from doing so. As a result she becomes depressed and suicidal. her life goes down the drain. The fact that something like that can happen should be enough to keep restrictions on a medical procedure. At times its necessary at times its not. Doesn't matter though, b/c its a choice and their bodies and their futures on the line. You can't restrict people like that, I don't think that's right even though some people don't think abortions are right. Personally, I vote for freedom to choose.
No. It is a womans right to choose. Only she can make the decision. No one can force a woman to give birth against her will. The government - and the church - need to stay out of womens wombs.
No. It is not ethical to try and dictate one's opinion as law.
If you limit abortion to once per lifetime you will cause the death of millions of loved and wanted children and end up keeping unwanted fetuses. http://www.prolifeismurder.com

A question for all pro-choicers??

Many people claim that the reason a woman is allowed to abort her baby is because it would not be able to survive on its own outside the womb. So therefore, the baby is her "propery", and she can end its life if she wishes.

However, a newborn baby cannot survive on its own, either. So should women be allowed to "abort" their newborns?
Answer:
they can now..thanks to bill clinton.....called partial birth abortion...
don't give them any ammo! they already made it legal to murder the baby if it hasn't passed thru the birth canal!
There is a difference between "surviving" and "viability". A mass of embryonic cells is not viable outside the womb by any definition. A newborn is viable outside the womb and can be cared for by anyone, not necessarily the birth mother.
Dude, join a bowling league or something! You've got too much time on your hands to keep posting the same questions over and over.
A fetus can NOT survive out side the womb until at least 20+ weeks... A fetus can not be transferred from one uterus to another... do we agree on that??

A new born child on the other hand.. has every expectation of survival... as long as it is cared for by a competent person.. this person doesn't have to be the birth mother nor father.. just a loving and caring person.. that know's how to love.. feed and care for a child... Even an agency is better than a woman that didn't want the child...

Yes I am pro choice...however I have 3 sons... abortion was never a question for me... I was raised to be respectful of myself.. and to have children at a time when it was right for not only me but the prospective father.. NOT every girl in this world is taught that... Nor should a girl or woman who is raped be forced to carry a child that she will hate.. it does in my opinion make a difference how happy and how much a child is wanted in the womb..
The metaphor doesn't quite work.
k idk about others but i never reffered to a fetus as 'property' however i do believe it should be legal to abort the fetus as long as it's before the third trimester. see ur holding all 'pro choicers' to the same standard. some of us aren't actually pro choice, but rather pro last resort (meaning u support legal abortions in cases of rape, or cases where the mother and/or fetus could be harmed during pregnancy/birth, etc). and i believe abortion should always be legal in the first trimester. however i dont believe third trimester abortions should be legal simply because a person has no reason to wait that long before getting an abortion. if their case is so bad that they need an abortion they should have gotten one b4 the third trimester.
anyways, i dont believe calling these women killers and sinners and wh*res is going to help anything either!
and the big reason ppl believe abortions should be legal is not because the fetus is 'property' that arguement has no credibility whatsoever, the big reason pro choicers say abortions should be legal is because A FETUS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A PERSON, IT HAS NO LEGAL STANDING OR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS THEREFORE IT IS NOT MURDER. and of ur statement about women aborting newborn babies is crap because newborn babies have already taken their first breath outside of the womb and therefore constitute a person, and have constitutional rights and a legal standing. so ya, that's my lil schpeal on abortion.
A newborn can survive without being attached to another human being.

The issue is that it's NOT YOUR BODY therefore it's none of your damned business what choice a woman makes - it's not yours, not mine, not the dude at the drive thru at Burger Kings - it's strictly and solely the woman's choice.
You are dancing a fine line with essentially loaded weapons on either side of that line!

As a mother, I would NEVER do anything to harm my child....even when he came into this world almost 7 weeks early!

BUT....my husband and I had to make a decision before he was born....he was in a compromised position and so was I. The decision had to be made of what to do if MY life was in danger....after almost 48 hours straight....we decided that IF that position came about....we would choose MY life.

So don't just go about passing judgement on a situation that many women find themselves in.

A question concerning Social Security Disability?

I applied for Social Security benefits in December and recieved a call from the SS office today. The woman told me I was approved for benefits.

I found this kind of weird. Doesn't SSI send you a letter telling you this? Thank you.
Answer:
My step daughter receives SSI and they called us to let us know she was approved and then a few days later we received a letter in the mail stating the amount she would get each month.
If you indeed have been approved for benefits, you will get an award letter in the mail informing you of any back amount and your current monthly amount. If you do not receive the information within two weeks, you should make an appointment to see your case worker.
You probably will get a follow-up letter. Yes, they do normally send a letter. A copy of it goes into your file, for verification purposes. It really doesn't make a big difference, anyway, because you still don't get the benefits until they get around to starting them. But they should also tell you what date they list for your "start of disability." Then the first benefit check should be a lump sum, retroactive to that date. So either way, you still have to "hurry up and wait."

A processor tried to serve me at my parents home. when told I don't live there, the processor said if he didn

a processor tried to serve me at my parents home. when told I don't live there, the processor said if he didn't take the paper or tell him where I lived my parents could be subpena to tell them where I live.
Answer:
The process server is correct.
They can't tell anyone where you live if they do not...HINT HINT
I don't think that's legal. The process server has to track you down himself. They can only subpena someone if it is to testify in court. Tell your parents that they don't have to tell processors anything other than you don't live there and shut the door!
What kind of dead beat are you????
Jack is correct.
You parents can be ordered to appear in court and if they refuse to tell where you live the courts can fine them, jail them and find them in contempt of court.
I mean its up to you, sounds like you need to own up for your own actions abd be an adult.

A print vendor printed my project without written consent / approval. What are my legal options?

A print vendor was selected to print my project. I approved the proof (with signature) and requested verbally to attend the press check. However, the printer completely printed the job without notifying me of the press check. To make matters worse, there were design errors on the project. The vendor is wanting full payment, but I stated I would not pay due to not providing a signed agreement to go to press without my presence. Who's right? What are my legal options?
Answer:
if you remembered to patent the piece then you have recourse. refer to and/or retain a lawyer.
You don't say who made the design errors. You don't say whether your approval before the print run was an express part of the job or whether it is generally done in your business. In my experience approval of a proof is generally is a "go" signal to the printer. Suggest you talk to a lawyer to whom you can show %26 explain all the facts.
Depends on what the contract states. You may want to get a lawyer.

A policeman gave me a ride home last night because my ride didn't show, why'd he write down my license after?

I was sitting outside the bar on a bench and two cops drove up because someone reported an intoxicated person outside. I was just sitting there but I was very drunk. I was just going to walk home but it was preety far. Could he have arrested me if I wasn't being a disturbance, I was just quietly sitting there? One was kind enough to give me a ride but he did take my license and wrote down the info. on it. He knew me because I worked at a gas station he frequented while on duty. Why'd he write down my info.? Should I worry about this? Or is this normal protocal? I'm glad he didn't arrest me becuase it is so wrong if someone isn't making a disturbance and is of legal age and WAS NOT DRIVING.
Answer:
Many patrolman have to keep a log. He, more than likely, just took your information down to enter into his patrol log. The log would read that he responded to the call and found you sitting on the bench and gave you a courtesy ride to your residence. Some places may do an informational report saying pretty much the same thing. If you was going to arrest you, he would have done it at the bench outside the bar.
Cops like to document everything they do. Sometimes its to cover their bum and sometimes its to gather evidence against you. If he had to write a report regarding the call and what he did it would be dumb to say he gave a ride to a stranger and not be able to say who. Unless I'm driving or need ID to buy alcohol, I try not to carry ID. Why should I?
I believe some areas have public intoxication laws, but most likely he was documenting the who, what,and why of what he was doing during that time period for the record.
its against all department regulations too give any civillans a free ride in a ny police car. they could be immediately fired. the reason is insurance reasons. if they were too get in a accident with you in there being drunk or what ever, they could be imediately firedd. and you could have suied the police dept/ these officers were, out of line. unless they arrest you. they need to go ba ck too the police academy fast.
Whether your are being quiet and orderly or not...the offense you COULD have been arrested for is called Public Intoxication.

Too often people don't see your side of how police frequently assist those in distress. You COULD have been arrested but instead were given a safe ride home.

Taking your license information is for nothing more than insuring the "courtesy ride" was documented as a part of the shift activity log!

Best wishes.
Could still have been a drunk and disorderly charge. Maybe he wants to date you?
they needed your info to file an incident report for the record... that is all.
It is normal to write down every person we come in contact with. All sorts of crimes have been solved this way. If you committed a crime and someone came up and said you frequented a certain place it could help. If you were found with no ID it could help that he had your name on file. After you left the car he may have ran a warrant check. He may have taken your name down because it is his department policy to write down every person he transports. Or, he may have been worried you would say something inappropriate happened and wanted to ensure that he had your name just in-case a complaint was made... You could have also been cited for public intox, you admitted to being drunk. I assume that you weren't because you said this officer comes to your gas station...We like our free coffee.
In my opinion it's just procedure. I witnessed a car accident one time and they took my driver's license information... I'm certain it's along the same lines. Just keeping track of who they came into contact with and what they were doing on the government's time.

A planet policed by the US, anyone?

The US has plans to control space with their STARWARS program or NMD and if it becomes a reality, the US would be the total dictator of the planet we all call home. It would mean total control of all sea, land, air, space and cybersp ace, which in reality means total and absolute control over the planet and of course the ability to strike at other countries without fear of retaliation. WORLD DOMINANCE was on the agenda the moment they withdrew unilaterally from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty which has banned the so called Starwars program.Does it means that the planet as a whole agrees to be under the dictate of the US and how so?
Answer:
Sadly, you are correct. The USA spends more on warfare and policing than the rest of the world put together. The USA does police the planet, and unfortunately it does so corruptly and with bias. The USA controls the world's resources through the dollar. The USA controls the world's communications through space.
This is the same country that during the 1970's dropped more bombs on the poorest country in the world - Laos - than were dropped during the entire 2nd World War, so that should make us all feel pretty secure.
Why do we let them get away with it? The few countries in the world who object - Cuba - Iran - Libya - Venezuela - North Korea - France - etc etc don't have anything better to offer.
A touch of realism is needed here..Do not believe all the marxist left wing anti American trash you read/hear
Naaah, the U.S tried that with Vietnam, Iraq, etc. They just loose too many toes shooting themselves in the foot. What else would they blow off with a starwars system? :)
what is this, the 1980s? - sounds like you are the type of person who needs a bomb shelter.
You are taking quite a leap of faith there buddy. Slow down, step back, take a deep breath, and look at it from a wider perspective. Even if the plan was to dominate space the fact remains that at this point it is still that - a plan. I plan to be the richest man in the world, does that mean I can buy my own submarine, jet, and the Philadelphia Eagles next week? No.

Even the greatest technology ever created does not guarantee absolute control. That is a foolish assumption that has no purpose before the fact.

And most importantly, how can the "plan" be so close to reality since the ABMT banned the SDI?

I can think of many greater things that this world needs to be concerned with. Terrorism, over-population, indifference, apathy, arrogance, global warming, over-industrialization, greed. Our time spent on these subjects can be more fruitful if we work at it.
policed by the US?

GOD FORBID!!!!! i shall move to Mars
They may try, but it will not happen, when you try to control too much, you become the common enemy and will be quickly dealt with, some people think the USA is unbeatable, but you just have to look at Iraq, and Afghanistan, to see we can be beat by nearly ancient methods.
no it does not mean the planet agrees it is time the un became effective it is the policeman of the world not the u.s. also if they do this it is time to stop calling kim iljong a dictator and saying a country not as large as the u.s. which largely keeps the u.s. from invading through nuclear weapons is being mistreated by kim lljongand and admit the u.s. is the dictator, also there is a claim kim iljong starves his countrymen to fund his army who has the largest army in the world who is the most powerfull and constantly reminds people of it the u.s. that's who
No f***k**g way
It probably IS time for the UN to become the "policeman of the world" (if indeed we are ever going to have such an entity). Trouble is that the US is refusing to pay the dues for membership of the UN, and at last count, they owed several billion dollars in "back pay"...... It's OK to say "I'm the boss", but if you have no money to be the boss with, you end up being a bit of a toothless tiger.

It would be nice if eneryone could get on together, but I doubt that will ever happen, still, I live in hope
I can hardly wait to get this puppy operational!Treaties are like promises meant to be broken. I defy you to find one country that respected any treaty other than the USA. Time to grow up kid...Learn the term NATIONAL SECURITY/NATIONAL INTERESTS.
so misinformed. the real control is economic We're talking China.
I'm American. It's true that the U.N. does not want us to have it. We'll have the potential to dictate the entire world. President Bush unfortunately dodges what the U.N. says. He disobeys the U.N. only so it could suit him and his warmongering republicans.
someone is going to be the "Superpower", now, would u rather have communist and athiest China telling you what to do and controlling the world, or the USA...
you need medication, only someone deeply disturbed would invent far out wackey things like this to worry about. Grow up, worry about something you have some control over rather than ragging on the US. Get a stuffed animal, it wont argue with you as you start to go off the deep end.
You've been watching too many movies.
If what has written by HG wells is going to happen,it has already happened.Now with the collapse of USSR,the world govt headed by US has become reality.It is a fact there is no power at present to challenge US.If you talk about China it is only a regional power,but not a financial power.Since might is right,star wars and ABM has become redundant.The world dominance by US is inevitable and there is no alternative.Sorrry to disappoint.(I am not from USA)
Wow, is this the best you have to worry about? Say the US does take over the world? So what? Who would you rather take it over? Someone like Sadam? Hitler? Mussolini? The US has more checks and balances that any other nation. They aren't always right, but a damn site better than most.

A person with a Green Card takes away more of my constitutional rights?

I tell you if it comes down to it I will be more then happy to defend my right to bear arms, if it takes blood to defend my rights so be it.
Answer:
Well we certainly do have that right, what we dont have is an education system that theroughly explains that to everyone.

as for the imagration issue well thats what it is supposed to be, Come to the United States and make a new life and a new home.

But what is going on is, Come to the United states take a job and then take the money, then go back and spend it in the country you came from.

The whole problem is that peole are not imagrating, they are taking the money and running, they dont want to saty here, to live here to make the U.s%26gt; there home, thye just want the money and run.

That money should go back into our economy spent on American owned business's, it should not be going to South America to pay off some drug cartel!
A person with a Green Card has the same rights as a US Citizens under the US Constitution except the right to vote, to serve on a jury, and the right to hold elected office.
RIGHT ON !!!!!!! 100% AGREE WITH YOU
Someone with a "green card," (It doesn't necessarily come green anymore), has the same rights as any American citizen except the right to vote. They are LEGAL ALIENS, not ILLEGAL ALIENS. Before they got the card, they had to go through a lengthy process of verification; medical, educational, psychological, professional background. Americans are speaking in ignorance when they fuss about aliens who do not choose to become citizens in the US. As long as the person is here legally, under a permanent visa (green card), the person can work, go to school, join the military, pay taxes, function like any American. There is no real advantage to taking an oath and becoming an American citizen. Furthermore, I think it's sad that some people are so ready to start fighting because of the act of an unstable man. Americans commit murders and other crimes in other countries too, and I'm not referring to military people. I'm speaking about ordinary American citizens who live abroad. You do know that there are a lot of Americans who have left the US and prefer to live in other countries? So relax. It's not one-sided. Criminal minded people are everywhere.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX...

Bush is: Remember that legal aliens pay taxes when they work in the US. Don't be so biased. You should speak to people in foreign countries who have to deal with large American companies that make a fortune in their lands and take out all of the money and still leave them poor. There are two sides to every story.

A person considered a WARD OF STATE?

This women is in her late 30's has 3 children and is conidered ward of the state, I got some really good answers and was wondering is she is a "ward of the state" how is she allowed to have children? Could I find out more from the state if she is threaten me with the hippa laws ect?
I am assuming she is mentally is as it was put to me once by a judge that all her faculties aren't there.
Here's and (eg) she had a rotty dog and dog - poor thing got hit by a car, dog warden was called in and told her to pick her dead dog up out of the road, she put a blanket over it and left him there in the road, dogwarden came back out, again told her to pick him up, she kicked him in the ditch and left him there. Am I intitled to her records for my safety? Her hubby has a record too I heard, is that public record?
Answer:
If she is a ward of the state, more than likely she has been in some type of state facility to be deemed as such or she is currently on welfare. Still the state does not have authority over this woman's having children; but they do have the authority to take her children if she is unfit to manage them. Her actions as being a person devoid of morals or ethics is not enough to normally deprive her of her civil rights. I wouldn't get into a contest with this individual over things you see as morally incorrect, it would be a better choice to let the authorities handle this situation so you don't stir up any unnecessary trouble for yourself, that may have been avoided.
As to her continuing to have children, the U.S. does not (yet) arbitrarily sterilize people. You can access criminal records, but not medical records. I'm not aware of the hippa laws. If the children are being neglected or abused, you can report her to human services and they will go to the house to check.

A new law for couples co habiting.?

apparentley couples who live together or long term relationship couples are being asked to consider making up pre nup kind of agreements in case the relationship fails and you seperate, is this good or bad please reply.
Answer:
At what stage in their relationship do they agree to do this? "Darling, please be mine, but talking of mine, I do think we want to see a solicitor on this...."? Or perhaps during a row: "I know I can't trust you -- you haven't even sorted out a cohabitation agreement"? Or to mark a significant anniversary? "We've now chalked up five glorious years. I think we should push out the boat and spend real money on something special to celebrate -- shared expenses, of course. I've arranged an hour with the solicitor!"
I think it is an excellent thing. But then, why not get married. It's the same thing.
This is good. If you are just cohabiting and you split after several years, there is no legal recourse to get your half of the stuff. The only way to get your things is to show proof of ownership, otherwise its the theory of possession is nine tenths of the law.
great idea,in this dday and age, a lot of people don't want to get married, so that would help couples split things up fairly
THE SCOTTISH LAW STATES THAT AFTER 6 MONTH COHABITATION YOU HAVE THE SAME LEGAL RIGHTS AS WEDDED COUPLES
Basically a sound idea as I am in favour of a 50/50 agreement.
However - beware of Greeks bearing gifts - I have found in the past if govt or law soc have a hand in it then you can be sure there will be a sting in the tail for one or both parties concerned somewhere down the line.
Great Idea. It will save on legal costs down the road if there is a split.
it would save a lot of hassle but the question is,when is it a long term relationship?? cos i wouldn agree to it after only 6 months or so
Hi Francis,

Well under the law in England and Wales a pre nuptual agreement is not legally enforceable but may be taken into consideration.

The area of law here would be equity law. You may not have a legal interest but it can usually show an equitable interest.

This means if one partner pays the utility bills and the other pays the mortgage an equitable interest may exist for the one paying the utility bills because a contribution to the upkeep of the property can be shown.

It is a complex area of law and is something that would need to be discussed with a solicitor who specialises in equity law.

Hope this helps
This is basically a "Living Together Agreement" rather than any kind of prenuptial agreement. The basic intention of the couple's living together is just to live together. The document which would be signed would deal with who pays household expenses, who owns what, and what happens to items of property that are acquired during the relationship.
Making a living together agreement is a good idea because it is a way of clearly recording what you have both agreed to. If you ever split up, it helps to prove what you agreed together, preventing costly arguments. You can also make the promises in such an agreement binding if it is drawn up as a 'deed' (a formal legal document that is like a contract).

You can write down all the things you agree about who will pay for what and how you will share the home. You can say what you think would be fair if you split up. You can do this yourselves, or you can ask a solicitor to advise you and to draw up the agreement.

You cannot legally stop each other going to court and trying to get a different result, but there are several good reasons for trying to make a living together agreement.

* It helps you to get a lot of issues clear at the outset - if you don't, these can cause arguments later.
* It helps you both to think about the future and how you see your relationship.
* If you do split up and go to court, the court will look at what you agreed together. The court may well uphold what was written in the agreement as long as it believes you were both honest with each other when you made it.

It is probably a good idea to get some specialist advice from a solicitor if you are thinking about splitting up. He or she will tell you where you stand and help you work out your options. You may decide, after a first interview, that you can sort things out yourself, but at least you will do this knowing about your legal position.

You should try to find a solicitor who has experience of dealing with the problems of unmarried couples, as it is a difficult area of the law.

A neighbour built an extension three years ago which affects the view from my property; I just realised we?

never received a letter from the council prior to it being built, asking if we had any objections.
Presuming we should have, is it to late to do anything about it?
Answer:
I'm afraid so, and by law your right to light or a view is not a valid reason to object.
The notice of the required planning application will have been published in your local newspaper.
No. You can be mean to your neighbors and either sue them, or have charges pressed against them if you can find any. You could also contact the city and tell them about the situation. Or, you can be nice and live with it. Or, you can do neither and move.
I bet there was a sigh posted in the front before construction with a phone number, if you objected, it is required bby the law. it is to late now
check with your local council
Well before you pursue it I would talk to your nieghbors, not sure what your land rights are in Canada, but Im sure that you have a strong case if you weren't notified prior. God Bless!
it doesn't matter they would have had planning permission anyway, and 3 years ago have you got a problem with them?
it sounds a jealous thing to me
Probably. You would have been asked to submit any objections within a finite period of time, i.e 28 days. It sounds like you're stuck. Try hiring a JCB and smashing the s**t out of it. Expect a hefty jail sentence to ensue though.
Hmm...
The law has a tenet known as Laches. which might apply here.
Here's the definition:

LACHES, DOCTRINE OF - Based on the maxim that equity aids the vigilant and not those who procrastinate regarding their rights; Neglect to assert a right or claim that, together with lapse of time and other circumstances, prejudices an adverse party. Neglecting to do what should or could, have been done to assert a claim or right for an unreasonable and unjustified time causing disadvantage to another.

Since three years has passed, I THINK you're out of luck. However, I'm no lawyer, and you might want to ask someone who has "esquire" after their name.
Good luck!
I think you will find that you were informmed by advert in your local rag. This is standard practice when public opinion is required with regards to building reg's. It's not the council's falt or your neighbours if you don't read the public notices section of your local news paper.
where i am you can still object but it might be deemed unreasonable by the court because the building has been up so long and the courts dont look favourably on those who opt not to exercise their rights for so long. However the burden was on the council to bring it to your attention so im not sure. The neighbour might be ordered to pay some damages but im realy not certain. the laws differ in different areas

Talk to a lawyer
Why has it taken you three years to do this - shouldn't you have done something sooner. Write to the council but I would imagine that it is unlikely that you would be able to have it removed.
Where do you live? In the UK planning permission must be obtained for any building which extends the original by more than a certain percentage. Also planning permission is generally not given for building work which would block light from neighbours if the said extension falls within 45 degrees of a window and is within a certain distance of the neighbours house.
Having said this, it differs from area to area and there are local bye laws which can come in to action.
Generally, any building without planning permission which is less than 12 years old could be subject to a demolition order. You need to contact your local council to check if permission was granted etc.
I think you missed your chance.
I would imagine the council were giving you the chance to object to planning permission, and as you didn't, it was granted. Your neighbours were then legally allowed to build their extension.
If they built outside the planning application, you may have grounds to object on that basis, but not on the original application as it went through.
As long as the new construction conforms with height and setback requirements as set forth in local ordinances and subdivision plans, as well as requirements of zoning, and any other matters which may appear in the chain of title, you have no cause of action.
no its not too late, but surely this is unfair on your neighbours you should have raised the issue at the time, as they have spent alot of money now on there extension. You would be classed as a neighbour from hell by me for sure!
I would try and file a complaint. He may not have gotten permission. There is probably a time limit. An important question they may ask, why did it take you 3 years to realize it is a problem? Make sure you have a good answer.
First you should figure out if you live in a glass house. If you do by all means call I am sure there is a government official sitting around with nothing to do but run out to start harassing your neighbor. Although it could be that government officials fault that did not make sure you got the letter they are the best at screwing up and making mistakes. Either way you won't look very nice and when they come out to harass your neighbor I am sure they can find something on your property not up to code no good deed goes unpunished.
Too late now. You could not have stopped it anyhow
In the UK there are certain permitted development rights for householders to build extensions, erect garden sheds, garages and the like or to put up boundary fences. There are of course restrictions on height and volume but if these are adhered to then no planning permission is required. Where this occurs a neighbour has no right of objection. Sounds a bit harsh but that is the way it is I am afraid.

When a development is to exceed the permitted development rights then an application should be made to the Council and thereafter the neighbours should be consulted to ask for their comments within a specified time (usually about 3 weeks). The decision will then be made and if approved, neighbours have no further rights to object or appeal, unlike the applicant who could appeal against a refusal.

It is not unusual however for a householder to simply have an extension built which exceeds the permitted development rights without seeking permission. Many get away with it because the Council do not know about it - extensions are usually built at the back of houses and are out of sight. Once such an extension has been up for 4 years or more it is then immune from action and becomes lawful by default. If you want to check on the status of the extension you can speak to your Local Planning Authority or get a competent Planning Enforcement Consultant to check it out for you. It would be less than a couple of hours work for a professional and probably cost around a hundred pounds. At least you will know for sure. Hope that helps

A neighbor has built their fence 3500 sq ft over my property line. What is a fair price for the land?

I just moved in a brand new house, and my lot is about 20,000 square feet. My neighbors lot is about 14,400 square feet, but he's built his fence over the property line and taken about 3500 square feet of my lot. I'm going to have my land checked out by a surveyor for exact details --- it's a huge amount. I'm going to ask my neighbor about it soon, and maybe he'll just move his fence (he's build a huge playground and a big rock-well in the space, so I'm not sure if he'll want to), but I'm also okay just selling him the triangle peice of land as well. New lots are selling for about $20-$30 per square foot, is that what I should charge him? Should it be less because it's not a full property lot? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Answer:
If I was in your situation, I would inform the neighbour about the problem first. I would also inform him/her that they should be responsible for at least half of the cost of the surveyors fees, and then start to negotiate on the selling price of the land that they have fenced in that is actually yours. I recommend that you don't sell for anything less than the going rate per square foot of land-no sense in you loosing money AND land, is there? A good price would be at least $25 per sq. ft. If the neighbour does not want to pay for the land then he must remove the fence from your property himself, or you will have it done and send the bills to him for the work. I'm sorry if that inconveniences your neighbour and his need to move the playground a rock-well area, but I guess he should have had a survey done himself first. Good luck!!
come out to aroun 105000
If you don't need the space it's better to sell it ( market price ) no less, it's your property my friend and a foot is worth a foot no mather how many he had taken...good luck
I would charge him extra for violating your space/property. Unless your okay with it! He obviously doesn't care and you might have to take him to court! Good Luck
Ok, it all depends on exactly where it is and the land value. You need to get it evaluated. Make sure you have the plans on hand so that you can prove it's your land. You never know, he mightn't be aware of the issue, and he mightn't even want to buy. You have to talk to him to see if he's aware of the issue and see what they're prepared to do.
tear his fence down and burn down the playground. It your land. he might be mad but tell him to go f u ck himself. Or have him arrested for trespassing on your property.
I certainly agree with you that your neighbor's encroachment on 15% of your lot is a huge deal. For one thing, it will affect your ability to provide a warranty deed whenever you seek to sell the property.

My advice is to contact an experienced real estate attorney to handle this matter. He can best advise you on the damages to which you are entitled and the necessary adjustments to deeds, etc.

I certainly would not accept less that the $30 per square foot market price because it reflects the minimum amount you will lose when you sell. Your settlement with your neighbor should also include an amount sufficient to cover your legal expenses. Hope this helps.

School....
It would be advisable just to have your property surveyed, then ask him to remove the fence and improvements. Changing your property's configuration may violate zoning laws and make it impossible to sell your property. Ask your surveyor to create a detailed map showing your property lines and the encroachments. You could use this in court if he refused to move the fence and improvements.

A most hilarious Lawyer Story!?

A Charlotte, NC, lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: That the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.


The lawyer sued...and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire, and was obligated to pay the claim.
(continued in details).
Answer:
That is great. It couldn't happen to a more deserving person.
http://www.snopes.com/crime/clever/cigar...
Considering that this story is at least 40 years old - not true and been doing the rounds in one form or another all that time - no star!
urban legend to the MAX!!!!
Urban myth or not, very funny.
And in this day and age - believable.
Copy and pasting stuff from Snopes.com isn't funny.

A member of Congress told the EU Reps that American citizens are for rendition(torture) camps-it that true?

The arguement from US is that they have info that the person is probable terrorist. The arguement from UK Parliament Reps is that it is a breech of Intl Law and is going to cause long-term bad relations with public and the world.
Answer:
This American does not believe that violating international law is a sound way to achieve peace or security.
No it's a load of crap.
I can't speak for everyone, but I think it's a good idea. Like most Americans, I'm not overly concerned with how "the rest of the world" thinks. We're building a fence to try to keep "the rest of the world" out as it is now, so they can't be too mad.
Both sides have their points.

Personally I think if we just shot the terrorists we wouldn't need secret camps or Gitmo. If they are enemies compatent, can't we just shot them right away and not capture them? It would make things a lot easier.
But I guess they need to get some intel out of these guys if possible.

A married couple owns a business and the man owns51% and the women49% the man fired the women does she have?

any rights?
Answer:
Of course. She owns 49%.

You have to analyze this with reference to the laws in your state governing close corporations.
If they're married, the right to kick his @ss!
Absolutely. If he does not want her involved in the business he will have to buy her 49 percent. She needs a lawyer right now!!
yes she is still a co-owner. Specific rights depends on what they agreed to in the partnership agreement.
Percentage of the ownership determines your level of authority over decision making process in a business. Even if she owned only 5% of the business, her partner can not fire her. It is not a corporation. It is a partnership.
So, she still owns the business. he wanting to fire her is just a matter of disagreement between him and her. One of you take that issue to court, and it will be thrown out because judge will say that there is no legal issue here.

Now, unless it is stated otherwise in a partnership agreement/contract.

A man said he was going to violently kill a dog, what should I do about it?

My boyfriend works at a restaurant. He was talking with a guy he works with, telling him about his dog died today.

This guy responded with
"Oh yeah, my friends dog needs to be put to sleep too. He can't afford it so I'm just gonna to slit the dogs throat for him." (laughing a little)

My boyfriend said he wasn't sure what to say, so he didn't say anything at all.... (which makes me mad!)

He said they were talking about hunting, and he said that he couldn't buy weapons because he was a convicted felon. So, I'm assuming that even though this guy was laughing, he could be pretty serious about this.

What can I do? Is there anything I can tell my boyfriend to tell him?? Anywhere they can take the dog to have it done for free? Should I report this?
Answer:
i wouldn't report it. especially, since you don't know the person. for all you know, he could be totally lying just to see how your bf would react. people do that kinda stupid sh*t all the time. if that's the case, he, for sure, got you all up in a stir. in any case, if you're still interested in helping the poor pup, contact the humane society and/or the spca for info on free/inexpensive euthanization services for pets in your area. or, maybe you could offer to adopt the dog, yourself?
Animal Shelters will take the dog for free. Just tell them it's not yours if you don't want to pay the drop off fee.

People that kill animals are dangerous. Statistic wise, serial killers and other dangerous people abused/killed animals.
I would call the authorities first and give them the details. I'm pretty sure that would fall under cruelty to animals.
you can report this guy to the police because that is animal abuse and is a serious crime!
The cops probably wouldn't do a damn thing if you DID report it.

What was the explanation for needing to put down the dog? Couldn't they just put it up for adoption instead? Slitting its throat would make for a messy, painful death. That man should never be allowed to procreate..

right click on his email look up properties. look through the IP numbers type it in to www.ip2location.com and then you may find his origination.
Why waste time! Click on spam or, delete whichever is more convenient. This is not a E-Mail that you want to give your bank account to!
Don't worry about where he is. FWD a copy of the message to the FBI and your state's attorney general. Next block his address.

A local NY State Trooper parks his cruiser in the handicapped space EVERYDAY, at the 7-11?

what should I do? if anything. Should I confront him? If the shoe was on the other foot, I am more than sure he would step to me!
Answer:
Tell him it's not for the mentally handicapped
Do NOT confront him unless you want a ticket or worse. Get the number of his car, exact location and the time and report him anonymously.
Take a pictue and e-mail it to Spizers office.
I would call and report it to the police anonymously or you will pay.......he is breaking the law and taking a space that was meant for someone else.....you don't even have to say it is a cop, just give the plate number, say you work there and have had several complaints......use a phone booth!!!!
Take down his cruiser number and his plate number and report it to your closest trooper station. This can and will be handled internally, and he will be reprimanded.

If you have a digital camera or a camera phone, you can prove this by photographing this for at least a few consecutive days, but the longer the better. Include them in your complaint.

You don't have to confront him personally. Just have the evidence and present it to his superiors.
I would note time, date, location, and car#. I would also take pictures and report him anonymously to the local department. Then, I would send the information to the local newspaper. If your cell phone has video, I would make one and post it on YouTube. This may sound like overkill on my part, but my father is handicapped, and you would not believe how much trouble we have finding a space sometimes. People who shouldn't be parked there infuriate me. The fact that a trooper does is is inexcusable and a blatant slap to the citizens he is supposed to protect; it says 'You better obey the law, but I don't have to, and there is nothing that you can do about it.' Creep.
Under no circumstances would I confront him. You would only come off the worse for it.
Good Luck. I hope that if you take any action, you update us all.

A legal question about a 2 week notice?

Just a ball park answer for a ball park question. If you are working for a company and you put your two weeks notice, the day you do this they tell you don't worry about coming back. Is that fair, or legal. After you put in year at the company. This company over the year didn't give you one raise, didn't allow breaks or lunches. Then when you put a two weeks notice in the tell you not to come back. That is still to weeks pay, right???? Anyone in the legal field can you help me out?????
Answer:
They don't have to give you any notice. A lot of companies are so paranoid these days they usually escort a person from the premises after they fire them.
It's rotten, but it is legal.

As an attorney, I'm more interested in them not giving you lunches or breaks. Tell us more about this. What state are you in?
Your employer is under no obligation to keep you for the entire two weeks. In fact many employer let their people go to make sure no company secrets are smuggled out
Your wife and her colleagues should most def. get a lunch break in any state or province in North America.

Sadly, they can tell her not to come back. As other posters mentioned, this reduces workplace violence and the change that property will be removed from the workplace.

However, not to sound underhanded, but, ahem, getting vocal about the work break issue might be a nice bargaining chip if she wants the two weeks.

Then this girl wathes that guy working and talking with his friends normally for about one week.Then one day she listens that boy has commited suicide by hanging.His suicide note says.. he cant afford getting failed in studies and giving problems to his parents.Has that classmate girl done a job of ABETMENT OF SUICIDE?
Answer:
I feel it I cannot help you
No.... how was she to know his mental state at that time. If they had a casual flirting and joking realationship why should she take him seriously. His closest friends should have seen the signs before she did.
The girl could be investigated for contributing to the suicide but to conclude that she is responsible must be proven beyond reasonable doubt because she was not aware of the break-up and depression being experienced by the boy when they talked.
NO, she could've been if he overdosed on celfose, but since he died by hanging a completely different series of events exludes her from any part of the suicide.

A homeless broke into my house today....?

there is a homeless who collects cans, and once a while he goes around my neighbood to collect them. Well today (I was alone at home), luckly as I went to grab a cup of water, I saw him through the window carrying my skateboard and my dads chainsaw. I was positve it was my skateboard and my dads chainsaw, so I went after him. I yelled for him to stop, but he wouldnt. Once I reached him, I tackle him down and I was about to punch him in the face ....so he quickly gave back my stuff....but from the look of his face, it looks like he would break in again in steal more stuff... I warned him to not get near my house and if he does I'll kik his ***.

my question is....assume he does come back and I cought him again and I do beat him up.....can he sue me.....and what will happen if he does? well I'm underage so will still get charges for knocking some1 down =]

what should I do if he does break in again?
Answer:
pray to God that he doesn't acquire a gun and come back and kill you and your family because what does he have to lose? nothing! what does he have to gain.. a roof over his head, 3 square meals a day. Free education. ETC. also if he was sentenced to the death penalty he wouldn't see it til maybe 2020
Well then be a sport. Call the cops and give him a home.
Kick him in the head. Then call 9-1-1.
You physically attacked him. Oh, yes. He can sue you.

Get some good locks. And call the police.
Get him drunk, drive him up to Canada and let him off there.
You should have reported him to the police. You still can. You have a right to defend your property if he is caught in the act but you cannot blatantly beat someone. Your best bet is to call the police
Call the police, he will be out of commision for awhile if you do that. Beating him up can probally end up getting you in trouble.
Give him a sandwich and a phone card to call his relatives who probably are worried about him. He is harmless and desperate and probably wont be back. Calm down and walk through urban America and see how you fare. They really are out to get you, not a hobo. Count your blessings and know that he might be an angel in disguise.
beat his a s s while he's still on YOUR property. there's not S H I T he can do! just don't do it outside your property
He is homeless so maybe he is not mad, maybe it would lead to a coplaint if you kick his ***,if and when he comes back, if you have a neighbourhood watch make the complaint, let it be known that you did catch him and warned him, if you do beat him , dont go overboard, anger could make you hurt him more than you intended to.

If he his mad however you could get in trouble for it because mad people cant protect themselves against you,thats what a judge will tell you and you will get the wrong for mistreating someone with mental incapability.

being under age you will be treated as a juvenile, community service, depending on how bad it is. I recommend however that you tell your father about this and not let it be your choice only how the homeless guy is punished.

A historian I am not but history has a funny way in repeating itself. So, what are your views about my opinion

THE IMMINENT OUTCOME:
“As per the old saying: “Whoever cultivates winds harvests hurricanes,” a country which was settled by violence, instituted by violence, expended and thrived by violence, lives in violence and exports covert violence, will die in violence!”

There is absolutely no question about it, in my mind. I only hope that its citizenry will wake up before letting their self appointed imbecile Emperor and his myopic Court to completely destroy what has been built with rivers of precious naive blood!

Answer:
Well, you are right, that unfortunately, History does have a tendancy to repeat itself, but only if those currently living don't take the results and learn from them. Those honestly striving to learn from History, will perforce, not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Huh? Are you talking about The U.S. presidency? Previous administrations? The founding of our country? European history? Civilization in general? Iraq? Well written but i don't have an opinion because of the absence of any specificity. Specifics please.
Does the country that you're hinting about have a citizen who loves to shoot off his big valve, but doesn't have the Guts to come out as speak in plain English ?
You're right, a historian you're not. There are a lot of things that you are, but I won't mention them. I'm in a good mood today.
every Muslim , Asia , Europeans countries and African tribes for using violence should get what the dished out .
then no winners.

A Hindu person died leaving behind a registered Will and the executor- legal heir files petition for probate.?

Does it come under Hindu Succession Act or Indian Succession Act ? Whats the difference as far as the Court is concerned, while disposing the matter ? Will appreciate serious answers. Thanks.
Answer:
The executor to any will made by a deceased Hindu will file petition for probate %26 letter of administration under the Indian Succession Act, 1925. Section 30 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 clearly provides this %26 so does section 57 of the Indian Succession Act. All matters in respect of probation %26 issue of letter of administration are covered under part IX of the Indian Succession Act. The Hindu Succession Act provides for the general principle of succession in case of Hindus who dies intestate (died without any will) but the Indian succession Act provides in details the whole process of succession in case of every Indian citizen including Hindus with respect to wills, codicils %26 other such related matters.
In the U.S. if a person dies with a Will, the property will be disposed of according to the Will. Rarely does anything else matter to the Courts.
In India, If the person who died with a known acceptable will is a Hindu, Buddhist, Jaina or Sikh by religion and is not a Muslim, Christian, Parsi or Jew by religion , then the Indian succession Act fo 1925 comes into play.

Hindu succession act takes effect if the one who died was Hindu, Buddhis, Jain, or Sikh, and is not Muslim, Chirstian, Parsi, or Jew and died without an acceptable will or no will, in which case they are considered to have died as intestate.

What is an acceptable will?:

A has left a will, whereby he has appointed B his executor; but the will contains no other provisions - A has died intestate in respect of the distribution of his property.

A has bequeathed his whole property for an illegal purpose - A has died intestate in respect of the distribution of his property.

When a will is partially incapable of being operative - A has bequeathed RS 1000 to B and RS 1000 to the eldest son of C, and has made no other bequest; and has died leaving the sum of Rs. 2000.00 and no other property. C died before A without having ever had a son. A has died intestate in respect of the distribution of Rs.1000.
Yes, this probate is acceptable,
If you have will, registered, there is no difference. You are not going for succession certificate. You are going for probate of will. SC is only when there is no will. Court will direct you to publish notice in newspaper.

A hindu mother of 75 years has 2 sons and 2 daughters, all married with kids of their own. She is a widow.?

She has struggled to live and has had no maintenance assistance from her kids who were more than able to provide for her but did not want to due to their own selfish ways. Her husband has a farm that she now toils alone. Before the husband died he would tell her often that all his property will be hers if he were to die. The kids have never been interested in the farm, until that is they hear rumors that it is worth a lot of money. Now they want to claim their share according to Hindu Act and want their mother to sell the land so they can profit from it. There was no will by her husband, the father, but at the time of his death noone wanted a share and only the mother's name was registered as owner of farm. She has another small piece of land that has little value and a house of little value. Both were in her husband's name until he died. None of the kids want to claim a share of this property since there is little to be gained for themselves.

What rights does the mother have?
Answer:
The provision of the Hindu Succession Act,1956 comes into play if these children had seeked succession of the property of the deceased whom you say died intestate i.e. died without making any will. Here I want to point out there is no particular form of will it can be both oral or written if it has been made by any person who is of the age of majority , was not suffering from any mental illness or disorder %26 he made such a will without any force or fraud. If there exit any person before him/her such will was made even orally for the benefit of his wife this will be sufficient to fulfill the provision of law %26 get such a will probated accordingly. In this case you also state that now the farm/land that was owned by the deceased has been registered in the name of this lady the widow of the deceased, hence she is now the owner of this farm/land %26 no one can challenge it now as these children never came to claim its share when this registration was carried on, the refusal on their part to own or get share part of this land can always be questioned now. As far another small piece of land %26 a house is concerned the children can claim their share according to the Hindu succession Act, but for this both these properties will be sold %26 their share will be distributed equally to them along with their mother who still get 1/5 share out of which. But if there exist any will even though an oral will regarding these properties too as I mentioned above, then this property wholly goes to this lady widow of the deceased. As far seeking maitenance from her children is concerned she can do so under section 125 of the criminal code, but the maximun amount she can get under this provision will be mere Rs500/- per month, the value of the land/farm %26 other propeties where as must be in Lakhs or crores of rupees.
Lady for one you have some lousy kids Sell the land and move far away from your kids,without telling them your forwarding address
As far as I know and from a personal experience, if the farm is was purchased from the hard earned money of the lady's husband, that is, if it is not inherited, then the lady's sons dont have any claim on the property and it belongs only to the lady, even if it was in the husband's name, according to our law.
She should make a will bequeathing the whole property in their name and let them have it, instead of it going to the govt. later. As she is also 75, she should make a will soon.
Under Hindu law, oral gift is not allowed but oral partition is recognised. In this case no proof of partition exists. For the estate of a Hindu male dying intestate, all Class I heirs, have equal share. So, with respect to the self-acquired property: the widow has got 1/5 share only. With respect to any ancestral properties, i.e.property inherited by the deceased from his father (self-acquired as well as ancestral), the Hindu co-parceneary law applies, unless the State in which the property is situated has brought in any amendments to the Hindu Succession Act, allowing daughters to have share, only male descendents of the deceased constitute coiparcenerary. The shares would be as follows: If, during the lifetime of the deceased, a partition had taken place, the deceased would have got 1/3 share. This notional share of his alone can be shared by all the five, the remaining 2/3 share going to the sons. Thus, for ancestral property, the shares would be: The widow of the deceased: 1/15 ; daughters: 1/15 each. Sons : 2/5 each. Practically, nobody can compell any other co-sharer to sell away any property, except by an order of the court. So, all of them should come to a mutual understanding and prepare a joint memorandum of understanding of private partition under Hindu law, and submit the same to the revenue authorities, for splitting the patta and khata, obtain individual mutation orders, pay tax, and update their respective records . If disputes persist, they can by mutual agreement, appoint an arbitrator, under the Arbitrator and conciliation Act 1996, and submit the issue of partition. The third one is to approach the civil court of competent jurisdiction, for partition.

As for the other issues are concerned, they are irrelevant to the issue of property partition. However, if the lady, in the meanwhile, is in need of maintenance, she can file a case under section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code, against all the four of her children or any of them, depending upon the paying capacity. But care,concern,love, lokking after in old age etc are concepts which are not legally enforceable by any court of law and if extinct in the psyche of the children, the mother has to put up with the ground reality, turn stoic and spend the remainder of her lkife in the best possible manner, as she is capable of and willing, but not sulk,decay and atrophy.

A guy was peeping in my 2nd story window last night. Is it ethical to push his ladder over next time?


Answer:
Well Im sure you could allways say you were afraid and did it to protect yourself
Im not sure it is ethical, but push it over. That's what he gets for peeping.
That depends on what your code of ethics is.

Though closing the curtains might be a better solution.
next time?! are you anticipating him coming back or is he a maintainance worker or a hired person doing work on your residence. none the less I would definetly report him now to the proper athorities.
yes......in a way. though morally it would be wrong. even though he's a peeping tom, if you take the initiative to push him off, you will also be at fault, what if he were to get injured? then you'll have a lawsuit. though you can file one against him, take the easier path, and report it the next time it occurs.

Two wrongs don't make a right
It may be ethical, but it wouldn't be legal since it would be considered excessive force.

A guy i know guessed my School ID PW and got access to my Transcripts and took a pic of them, is that ID Theft

And will I have a case in a court of law for him getting access to my account at school from him guessing my Password, nothing was charged to any account, but he got into the file, didn't do anything and also got into my AIM account, can he be charged by the FBI for Identity Theft?
Answer:
No, as he did not try to actually "steal" your identity for monetary gain, he only showed you how easily it could be done...you should thank him and change all of your passwords to protect yourself going forward to something that NOBODY can guess!
i doubt they will investigate it

but if u really want to take it far, document the evidence and get a police report
Unfortunately, you'd probably have a difficult time proving that he guessed your password and that you didn't just give it to him.
You could make the school aware of what happened and then consult an attorney as to what could be done.
First: What he did was illegal.

Second: You don't really need to prove that he guessed your password, only that he has a copy of your transcripts. Where did he use the computer to do this? If it was in a library, that makes it much easier as that there are monitoring systems in most libraries (both computer and camera) that could have caught him in the act.

I suggest that you report it to your school authorities first and then to the police. I'm not sure how your school is organized (I'm assuming you're in college), however at my college - I would start with the student life or security office. And then make a visit to the help desk and get your password changed to something secure.

Unless your personally identifiable information such as Social Security Number or Credit Card Numbers were accessible by the account, I don't think that there is a reason to be worried. Angry yes, but not worried. Just report him to the school first and then go to the police if they suggest it or don't take action.

A government question Help me?

Why might a person who is being sued by someone who loves in another state demand that the case be tried in a federal court?
Answer:
Because it becomes an interstate issue since the person suing and the person being sued are in different states. The federal government is there to mediate conflicts in such instances.

A German petrol station manager?

Nothing wrong with that I dont think, do you?

Well apart from the fact she was 7 times over the alchol limit, that is very bad.
Answer:

Maybe it wasn't her petrol tank she wanted filling up !! obviously she was tanked up on alchol, that just leaves one tank to top up !!

A garage has towed my sons car from accident scene and he cannot pay what can he do?

My son has written-off his car in an accident involving no other vehicle, personal injury or property damage and he has only 3rd party insurance. His car was removed from scene via police recovery and is in garage storage yard. They want him to pay before he can remove it and are adding daily fees all the time it is there. He is unemployed and in the process of going bankrupt with a final appointment to sign forms on monday at CAB who have been colating his debts and writing to his creditors in preperation for this. He has no money at all so cannot pay fee to remove the car (which was of little value and a write-off) or the mounting charges. How can he resolve this or halt the fees? Will this be automatically included with his other bankruptsy debts?
Answer:
I don't see why he would need to pay to get a wreck out of the garage. The CAB should know what is the best thing to do. I think all debts are written off when you go bankrupt, even this one. I don't see how they can enforce these charges if he doesn't want the car back.
he can get a job, or sell some of his stuff to get the money to get the car back....i'd push for the first option.
Ask C.A.B.
It may be worth just checking first with the insurance your son has to see, sometimes they can be quite accomodating, depending on the circumstances of the collision.

Failing that if the car is written off and of little value anyway I would contact the garage and see if you can sign a disclaimer to surrender the car to them for disposal, they will normally charge a nominal fee and you sign the V5 over to them for scrapping.

This should not be included in the on going bankruptcy as it is as yet an unregistered debt.

Good luck
That depends on the state your in
Here after 6 months the car will be auctioned off.
it could be done sooner if he were to just go down and sign a release and hand over the title. he would still be liable for storage fee's so yes that needs to be added to the bankruptcy debts. In this day and age bankruptcy doesn't mean he will not have to repay. it does mean he will be given time and a fair repayment schedule
If he doesn't want the car, I would suggest to sign the title over to the garage and tell them that he is surrendering the car to them because he can't afford to pay for it. As for putting this on his bankruptcy I have no idea, ask the lawyer.

Good Luck
There is nothing he can do. If he owns the car, he should sign the title over to the storage yard and let them scrap it. And yes, I would include it in the bankruptcy to be safe.

Unless he can come up with the money by selling stuff or borrowing it, there really is nothing he can do; they're running a business.
Section 99 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 authorises the police to remove vehicles that are illegally, dangerously or obstructively parked or abandoned or broken down, whether or not they have been stolen.

There are statutory fees that you are legally required to pay. These are set by the Government in the form of statutory regulations which they make under section 102(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. The fees are currently 拢105 for the removal and 拢12 for each storage period of 24 hours. The storage period begins at noon on the first day after your vehicle's removal on which the storage location is open before noon for your vehicle to be collected (so, if your vehicle is removed on a Saturday but the recovery operator's premises are not open for you to collect your vehicle until the Monday, the period will begin at noon on the Monday). No VAT is payable on these fees.

The fees are recoverable but the garage owner has no authority to ask for it. When they towed the vehicle they were acting as agents for the police, so it is to them that you should direct your inquiries, not the recovery service.

It is not covered by bankrupcy because the police were using statutory powers to remove it and the charge is regulated by statute. I am afraid you will have to either pay the cost of retrieving the car or it will be disposed of. The recovery fees are not a debt. It is a charge.

A ganster, has threatens to hurt me or even kill me after i had a conflict with him over aproblem aboutmoney?

please help. a man, a ganster, threaten to hurt me or even kill me after i had a conflict with him over a problem about money that he owes me. what should i do? police cannot guarantee my security 24h especially when i ride motorbike alone from work to home...
Answer:
Well, it depends on how much money it is. Anyhow, if he threatened you like that, you should tell the police and have him arrested because that is a form of assault. I'd call the police and tell them as soon as you can because that sounds pretty serious.
Take different routes home, and consider renting a car for awhile, or perhaps you need to move.
I have to ask, why would you get involved with a gangster in the first place?
take a new route home,find someplace else to stay and try and pay your debts so you won't be in a situation like this again
let the money go, it's not worth it. It's spelled "gangster" not "ganster".
You sound kind of ignorant, but all we can do no the internet is nothing. Well, it is serious but I think you "could" be over reacting. If he threatened you once, he probably won't really do anything. Just do as he says, of ocurse as long as it's legal, and he will get off your chest. I'm pretty sure he is all talk, don't be scared just because he is a "gangster". Plus, what are you doing that made him owe money to you and how do you know for sure he is a "gangster"?
Pray for protection and don't doubt. I am not joking just put your faith in God.
Most gangsters have priors and some are even on some sort of probation or parole. If you file a restraining order against that person they will likely leave you alone since no one wants to go to jail especially since he owes you and you don't owe him. If you really need to get your money back, depending on the amount you will need to hire another gangster to get it back for a fee but at least you'll get something back rather then nothing. Goodluck!
I'd either find a new bookie, run the sucka over w/ my bike, or find out where to pay for protection.
It's a small world

A friend's late husband was secretive about his finances. How to confirm suspicion of possible hidden account?

He died intestate and left no record of financial assets. Probate has been granted no questions asked. Surely it must be a common problem for money to remain hidden after its owner has died?
Answer:
A private investigator is the first option, but can be costly. But probate should have uncovered most assets etc. You could try the deceased solicitor.
You could check to see if there was any post office products or premium bonds. Although they are not name transferrable, you can fill in a form and ask for a trace based on name and address details.

http://www.nsandi.com/products/pb/howitw...
To check for old bank accounts try British Bankers Association (bba.org.uk). For old building society accounts try The Building Societys Association (bsa.org.uk) for National Savings try NS%26I (nsanddi.com) on 0845 964 5000. If you want to carry out a comprehensive search try the Unclaimed Assets Register (usar.co.uk) It charge 拢18 for a search of old savings accounts, insurance policies, unit trusts and shares etc. You will need grant of probate which gives you the power to act on behalf of the deceased or a copy of his will/death certificate. Hope this helps. Good Luck!
If this question is about an American estate, I would start by reviewing income tax returns for the past several years to see if interest and dividends were listed, if rental income and expense from rental properties were present, etc.

Usually, if you monitor the mail that is received after the death, you can find such things as bank statements, brokerage statements, mutual fund statements, and the like.

I would also have somebody check the office for recording of deeds or county assessor's office to see if the decedent owned real estate in the county in which he died, and I would also do it as far as contiguous and bi-contiguous counties.

Some former clients also "hid" things in their residence which were not discovered until after their death. I have seen numerous circumstances of envelopes taped to the back or bottom of drawers in a chest of drawers, items hidden in books in the library, and we even were involved in the affairs of a woman who had $80,000 in her freezer [no, she was not a congressional representative].

There can be all kinds of assets: antique furniture stored in a barn, things hidden in a wood shop, cash placed in a Mason jar and buried under a manure pile, antique cars that may be in garages at various locations in town and around the county.

I have been fortunate to have worked with some excellent and honest auctioneers over the years, and they have helped find some hidden money.

A friend of mine was stopped whilst driving on a provisional unsupervised.?

Three weeks later he has received a letter in the post from his insurance company cancelling his policy as they have been notified of this incident. Is it normal for the police to do this? P.S They were not even given a producer. I would be grateful for any answers.
Answer:
Jolly good.
I hope he realises his mistake, is dealt with by the Magistrates for driving unsupervised and as the Insurance company has been notified via the electronic system, both he and others will understand that others who drive with all the legal authority and are insured will back the Authorities.

It was a good day when these automatic transmissions of data from roadside vans identified the abusers of vehicle law.
I hadn't heard of this before. I'm glad I'm not your friend when it comes to getting insured again, the premium is going to make his eyes water.
"P.S They were not even given a producer."

What do you mean by this?

Anyways to answer your question- your friend violated license restrictions. The insurance company wasn't "notified", rather a flag showed up on your friend's file which is monitored by his Insurance company's computers in order to keep tabs on raising or lowering his premium. Since his violation is based on restrictions to his license, it is a provisional license, and it was not a simple moving violation WHILE SUPERVISED- this is why his policy was cancelled.
They don't need a producer these days. MOT and insurance are online.
