OJ Simpson was found not guilty of the murders of his ex wife and her friend in the criminal proceedings. How then could he be found guilty of causing their deaths in the civil case against him?

I have posted a similiar question before, but I wanted to ask again. What is your take on smoking? Do you think that people should be allowed to smoke? Do you agree with the taxation on cigarettes? Do you think smoking bans are consitutional? Is all the attention on smoking really going to make people quit smoking?

I am really interested in this because I am a smoker. I do believe in smokers rights, but I understand peoples concerns about smoking becasue i am not ignorant of the health effects. I wonder though, if a personnal choice like smoking can be so heavily regualted by the government, what stops them from eventually pulling support against something else that seems socially unfit. There are many things out there that people do that are unhealthy. What is going to stop the majority from wanting to regulate these rights in the same way that they have done smoking.

What are your thoughts.

by American government in the best way , Americans are people who are do not have so complexity . Therefore, they would believe every things their government said to them because their government is such a such a honest government . They have freedom ,. Please note how easy it is for even a normal guy in America to candidate himself for presidency and get elected ,, America is a great country with people who are just followers but they really good critical thinkers . ,They do not wish to kill anybody, they are truly believe in god. god , oh god , so they are not at all fools , they travel around the world to got to know about other cultures .They have alot of information about other people , They are such humans . They are not just rascals who wish to kill other people.they are not racist at all , everything is so great about America , America
agree with me Americans? please not that I do not live in this beautiful country with people who are real real humans

When you are FORCED out of your job, couldn't that also be considered a "Constructive Dischargfe"?

I just asked a question re a boss who uses the "F" word incessantly. Let me clarifty. This is a Professional Office. There are 14 people under this man. He uses the "F" word to aggravate people. It is not a matter of "freedom of speech". He just likes to rub people the wrong way. (He is related to the manager of the company.) I'm no lawyer but I thought there was such a thing as "Constructive Discharge"
(Every morning,
"How the F are ya? Where's the f ing report I told you to have ready? this coffee tastes like f g dirt! Hey you. bring that f ng file here..f'g women are stupid and crybabies....did my f wife call?get your f g backside over here right now! and on and on.)
(Note: I told her to tape him)

I got approved once and was not ready for college. That file was closed in 2004. Now that I'm ready I've re-applied and have to go through all of the same crap as before but only more. I'm 50% disabled. They want me to provide loss of work days etc. I've not lost any days. If I do, I get fired. They'd rather let me get fired and then attempt to help me. These guys are stupid. proof to them why they should pay for me to go to school. The GI Bill is not an option. I got out over 10 years ago.
These Government employees are the laziest & sorriest individuals I've ever dealt with. If any one can tell me what I need to tell these people to get the funding that they promised.... Please let me know.

Thanks

The precursor of the U.N. was the brain child of President Wilson(The League of Nations). The U.S. never joined it though. After WW2 the U.S.A. was the driving force behind the U.N. Now Americans don't appreciate that it is your baby. It's Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the basis of avoiding war through preventing war yet Republicans think its a socialist manifesto. What changed? P.S. I'm Canadian.

PLEASE if you are not smart enough to know that political affiliation does not determine your being conservative or liberal, or that Lincoln was the only one who was a member of the present day GOP DO NOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION
Jefferson was an agnostic who slept with a black slave named Sally Hemmings. He was a revolutionary traitor to the Crown who championed religious freedom and was anti slavery (very liberal ideas for there time. As President he cut military spending supported the French revoloution and had the louisiana purchase. (a large govt program? sounds pretty liberal)
Teddy Roosevelt was a trree hugging, union supporting, Trust buster, who loved Govt regulation started the FDA, SEC S&L Nat Parks dept,
Lincoln the south seceded because they thought he was to liberal to defend slavery and southern rights
The reason this question is on here is to prove that liberal does not equal weak and evil, and that party affiliation may not represent your issue.

Folks... I just got a new job. However, back in June I got a 17 thousand dollar raise at my old job. This raise was dramatic but I was hired at a very, very low rate. The raise brought me to 55k a year.

Today I get a call from my old boss. He said they made a mistake in payroll and I was being overpaid. They had me down in the system at 80K per year. I honestly did not know the difference in my checks because the raise was dramatic in the first place (17,000 more a year). Do I have to pay them this money back? Any information and/or legal advice would be appreciated

This went on for 6 months. The funniest part is that this company is a payroll company.

There have been many times that I have needed a police officer, but they always give me some lame excuse on why they cant help me. For example, when I was 16, me and my sister were jumped and beaten up by a 30 yr old woman and man. We went to the police, but all they could say is it was our word against theirs. Here is a second example, my radio was stolen from my car, all they said was to file a police report, they didnt show any interest in trying to patrol my area due to other thefts. Yet another example, things were being stolen from my garage space at my apartment. My outdoor rug, the brakes taken off of my bike, my mail. Are these things not important enough for them? Why do they find it so important to stake out near the side of the road and wait to catch people going 2 miles over the spped limit, not using a turn signal, etc, but cant help a citizen who is being violated by thieves? Where are their priorities? Is meeting a quota more important than protecting citizens?

Just looking into both of these, and thought i'd get the opinions of those that knew more about these job titles. What would be your choice & why? I didn't 100% understand what it is exactly CCT's do, except for locate hostiles in an area or something. Pararescue? Jump from planes, secure areas, and treat wounded?

Also if anyone knows the passing ASVAB requirement scores for each of these, i'd be greatly appreciated. Just curious if anyone has info on these job titles, other then the military.com or whatever kind of information.

Thanks
