I did a long time ago and did press charges. Just curious if anyone let their rapists run free?

I always thought that if you found anything on the beach or the side of rivers -provided it is on public land- it is yours to keep. Is this so?

I worked for a company a few years ago after I decided some of the promises they made were bogus. Last year I found out that the Federal Trades Commission sued them and won. The good news is that I was due some money and I filed my claim as soon as I could. This was back in June of 06. In December I called the 1800 number they gave to see if they could give me a rough estimate of time to start expecting the money. The woman I talked to said that they're to many people working on the case and she couldn't even begin to guess how long it would take. Does any know the average time it takes for the F.T. C. to give people money.

A California legislator introduced a bill Thursday that would make it illegal for parents to spank their young children.

Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-Mountain View, authored the bill, which would make it a misdemeanor for parents to spank a child age 3 years or younger, television station KCRA reported.

The crime would carry a punishment of up to a year in jail or a $1,000 fine.


Lieber said the bill is long overdue.

Keeping drugs illegal scares a few people from taking them.
However a million others use them to different degrees. Put in the balance what's the net benefit of prohibition? Not much.

Disadvantages of prohibition
Keeps drugs prices high.
Keeps illegal business gangs, maffia, terrorists going because is a highly priced commodity that it's easily to conceal.
The anti drug laws that pushes their price high also pushes drug addicts to mug, beat, break and enter and steal your car or even murder you.
Huge amounts of money spent incarcerating people at $50,000 a year could be spent on health, education and fighting homelessness, and treating addicts.
We would create a better more viable society by repealling present anti drug legislation.

When is it OK to kill someone? If you could comment on the law briefly, but mainly talk about when you believe it is ok to hurt or kill someone.

In writing my novel I need to research communism. How does the society, economics, and freedom of press work? Also, the psychology of citizens in a communist society? Getting in the mind of a dictator? Ayn Rand fans especially encouraged to help me out. Thanks!!!

It just seems to me they don't even really know anything about the issues. They only vote for someone because he/she is a republican. If American truely wants to be a free and democratic society, shouldn't we vote for the issues and not just the party? Don't even act like it isn't true all of you right wingers. You just do what you're told and never can think for yourcelves...

I know he did it, but damn. Of course Mr. Cochran used race, so what - race has always been an issue when a black man walks into the court room, blacks are still to this day, given longer sentences for the same crime than whites. White jurors for years have looked at white defendants different that they look at black ones. The black jurors in the o.j. case did the same thing. This was not the biggest travesty in judicial history the way some claim. He was a rich guy who went out and bought better lawyers than the prosecution had. This has been going on for hundreds of years in our court system. I FEEL BAD FOR THE FAMILY.(although they knew o.j. routinely beat her when they were married and allowed him to do it because he gave them money and took them on vactions they couldn't afford) It's impossible for me a black man to look at this case and be upset at the outcome. This is the way the system has always worked.

It seems that the experience of a police officer would vary greatly. For example, in Australia we don't have many guns around, and (no surprise) less shootings!!

What do you American police officers think about the prevalence of guns in your society? To me, it seems like a really bad idea.

I propose once CHild molesters are released from prison assuming their not beaten and killed, tattoo or better yet brand Convicted Child molesters on their forehead. It will keep them from reoffending, as everyone will know they are a child molester.

NOw here comes the fun part. IF they attempt to cover that brand or tattoo with makeup this is punishable by up to 100 whips( and not no pussy whip cat o 9 tails) with an experienced dominater or dominatrix, either sex is fine as child molesters are no longer considered human beings.. Then they pour salt on their wounds and let them suffer.

TO prolong their sufferring anyone that kills a child molesters only has to serve 30 days in jail. Enough to deter some people, but keep the child molester in check.

We already have megan's law, lets take it one step further. And mark them at their hnouses, apartment buildings.

Also I think it would be a good idea if all sex offenders would not be able to go out of their house without police escort.

I think it is another form of "damn the Western world - they built themselves on the slavery of the rest of the world, and now it's payback time!".

Billions of dollars poured from Western nations that NEED to use more energy (ever been to Canada in January? The windchill in Baker Lake, NU is -60 right now) into tropical nations that do NOT need as much energy. By the way, the massive populations of India and China may pollute as much as they wish, no problem - even though that will become the vast majority of pollution, and will be more than current worldwide pollution levels all put together.

It's a form of "rob from the hard-working rich and give to the lazier poor" communism.

I filed 2 years ago. My soon-to-be- Ex has made this an arduous process. He has defied court orders and resisted settling fairly. He has hidden money, and tried to devaluate every asset. His wages had to be garnished, as he wouldnt pay the spousal support . He closed our savings account and the part tme business account and put them only in his name about 3 years before I filed. I have been unable to pay my lawyer very much and the interest has built up .His lawyer has canceled meetings to settle (they have attended the Court ordered ones tho ) and often says he hasnt received paperwork and documents from my lawyer. He lied his way thru the deposition. A friend told me that the Judge will probably tell us to go downstairs to the courthouse cafeteria and hash this out. Do you have any experience or answers?
