Politics & Government - 25 November 2006

First this man was mean and abusive to his wife. Second he's an alcoholic. Third he's an insurance salesman, Life and Health.
The woman held a job at the local hospital for 20 years, had many friends and 3 loving kids and several grandkids. She lived in the same community for over 35 years and lived a somewhat nice middle class life.
Why on earth would her husband absolutely refuse to put any kind of obituary in the newspaper. Even after the woman's children said they would be happy to write one and pay for it themselves...?
I think it sounds shady to me.
I think he has a "girlfriend" on the side to begin with before the womans death. (She died from cancer, but had signs of abuse when she entered the hospital for the last time. By this time she hhad cancer in her brain and could not speak clearly.)
What reason's are there (other than cost) for not allowing an obituary to be placed in the local paper?

Can we all concede that we are all different and we all agree to disagree? How about if you disagree with someone, respond with humor or facts, or just don't answer the question. Why does everyone think reporting everyone is going to accomplish anything. Half the fun of this site, is the disagreements.

I need the book source; the title, author, copyright date, publisher and the page the fact was found on. And the fact of course. I looked everywhere for a book myself, but the only books I could find were the Lives of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. I couldn't find anything in them. Please Help. Thank you.

Do you support the Conservative Governments position on this? Why, or why not?

I'm a Liberal supporter, but I think this was a master-stroke on Harper's part; perhaps the smartest political move I've seen in my lifetime.

The Economist magazine says Ireland because of the wealth, standard of living, low crime and political freedom.
The UN says Norway for the very same reasons.
What do you think?

Ballot Problems Defy an Overhaul
By IAN URBINA and CHRISTOPHER DREW
The New York Times
(Nov. 26) -- After six years of technological research, more than $4 billion spent by Washington on new machinery and a widespread overhaul of the nation’s voting system, this month’s midterm election revealed that the country is still far from able to ensure that every vote counts.

Tens of thousands of voters, scattered across more than 25 states, encountered serious problems at the polls, including failures in sophisticated new voting machines and confusion over new identification rules, according to interviews with election experts and officials.

In many places, the difficulties led to shortages of substitute paper ballots and long lines that caused many voters to leave without casting ballots. Still, an association of top state election officials concluded that for the most part, voting went as smoothly as expected.

I recently had a a dispute filed against me thru PayPal.
 
A ruling was made for the buyer.
 
Basically the ruling confirms BIDS on auctions are not binding.
 
This buyer has two negatives this last thirty days.
 
EBAY has been conned by a con man.
 
Any buyer with buyers remorse or who does not read the auction and wants out merely...
 
Has to reject all shipping methods provided by the auction and seller.
Not pay for shipping.
File a claim of non receipt and none shipping.
File that any payment was unauthorized. Seems like interstate fraud to me.
 
and PayPal will freeze the account and then refund because there is no proof of shipping or receipt. I had emails confirming rejection. His own posts say I would not break a 350 pound item down and ship it in boxes of less than 150 pounds. I could not find anyone to do that. I ahd a person who would pick it up, palletize it, wrap it, and provide it to a shipper for $75 which is cheap. I also offered to deliver it at my own cost to Forward Air. He rejected all of these options in emails. So I encouraged him to hire a crater to pick it up, break it down, box it and pay them direct.
 
I have lost a lot of confidence in EBAY and Paypal ability to ethically and morally perform due diligence and make a sound decision.
 
This buyer never disputed bidding or buying the item on Paypals resolution board. Nor did he request out of the auction.
 
I am not too concerned with  this sale and the $250 but I have sold items for much more. Some were sold out of state and picked up locally by friends and relatives and church members.
 
I was a power seller but developed cancer this past year and cut my activities back temporarily trying to better manage them which was difficult under my health circumstances.
 
I still have over 1800 low priced items listed ie books that do not clear through PAYPAL. I have a store too. I have done business with EBAY since 1998.
 
This has really adversely impacted my confidence in EBAY and Paypal.
 
I could not understand in the past month why two EBAYERs were negative about EBAY or Paypal. One refused to pay thru Paypal, paying with a check instead, and said they had lost a large sum of money thru Paypal. Another said his account had been frozen with $300 in it and like me he is low income, and a father and husband. He would not fight it.

I bought an item, and the seller took forever to ship it. However, she stayed in touch with me and let me know that she had been really sick, so I told her not to worry since this is a xmas present. She says now that she shipped it just before labor day. It has still not arrived. I asked her about it and she says that if it got lost in the mail, there is nothing she can do about it since I didn't purchase any insurance. What recourse, if any, do I have?
