I am a freelancer. I have been dealing with a client for sometime.The project was slated at 700.00. Because of her constant changes the project is now at 1150.00 She still makes constand changes. I have tried different ways to solve the issue but everytime I do this she always has a situation that keeps me from completing the project. The project is a website. I am not sure what to do. I have given her the source files and the website is on her server. i have stopped working with her because of this. I have also offered to give her back 650.00. She has threatened to sue unless she receive full payment. i feel I have done everything I could plus offered her the money which wasnt fair. Any advice?

Can she sue for more then the 1150.00? Can she claim things like her business is suffering and claim to have lost 1 million dollars or something outrateous like that?

Any advice is greatly appriciated.

First off, I tend to vote Democrat and could not be more against the Iraq War. Visit some other discussions on this site. You’ll see that I have big issues with conservative political policies. Secondly, Lawful does NOT = Right nor does it = correct! Your argument for relative morality I will agree does make sense on a grand scale. Peoples’ sense of morals can differ and still fall within the acceptable societal norm. However, for specific issues, morals are not relative, but concretely static! One of those morals is the right to live your life without it being intentionally taken away from you by another human being. Imagine your reaction if you were having a discussion with someone and they told you, with all sincerity, that they didn’t think killing or ending human life was morally wrong. Would you consider this person moral? Would you still talk to this person? My bet is that you would not. An overwhelming majority of people would think that this person was off their rocker and would avoid them like the plague. Furthermore, I still get a kick out of fellow debaters trying to discount my argument because they say I’ve based my belief on my religion. I have done no such thing (I haven’t gone to church regularly in years). I’ve used deductive logic, with science and the basic moral principle that I just mentioned above concerning right to life as my benchmarks, to form my conclusion. Science tells us that at conception, a living human cell is formed. It begins a process called mitosis, which is the process of cell division, or growth. Science also tells us that dead cells cannot divide and grow. If these cells are human cells, and they are growing, then from the above we can logically conclude that we do, in fact, have human life. And if we can, from above, mutually agree that human life has the right to complete their existence without being eliminated in an intentional way (society’s basic agreement on right to life), then we can conclude that abortion is morally wrong. It’s not a hard argument to follow. I do appreciate your history lesson with regards to the Courts rulings (I’m aware of the Court’s rulings, thank you), but again, they don’t really apply in our discussion unless you’re arguing that they’ve ruled on morality here. Which by the way, contradict your entire argument. I never argued that abortion was illegal, or that women didn’t have the legal right to have them done. What I did was say they didn’t have the moral right. What I did was call them immoral, based on irrefutable scientific fact, an irrefutable and binding societal contract to not end human life, and deductive reasoning. That’s actually ironic when you think about it. Here we have, as I said above, far left liberals arguing ethics and moral standards when it comes to economic and political matters, such as minimum wage fairness, characteristics of the free market, CEO golden parachutes, gaps in compensation between the elitists and proletariats, and desired government intervention during the oil price surge ( just to name a few). Yet, they can’t see how their own argument and position in this discussion is violating the most basic societal contract. There’s HUGE inconsistency on the left when it comes to a discussion about morals. But the real kicker is this: while there are pro lifers out there that are whacked and clearly have gone off the deep end, many pro lifers cite the same arguments I have, and we get accused of trying to set up a sectarian form of government to push our religious beliefs. And on the other hand, you have the pro choicers who contend that life doesn’t begin until birth. Of what are they basing that on in this MORAL argument? Science rejects their claim. So what then are they basing it on? The only thing that’s left is…faith.

There seems to be a lot of aggressive behaviour towards local residents from young thugs in my street. It has got to the point where I am a bit scared to leave my girlfreind alone in the house. They have broken a drain pipe, used threatening behaviour towards a neighbour, banging on windows and doors. A lot of my neighbours are older and some are women with children who find this very intimidating. I have rang the police and have been given an incident number with a promise of somone ringing me back in a couple of days. As you can imagine, this does not make me feel very secure. I am a part time artist and I am thinking of imortalising the f##kers in series of photo's and putting them around the local area. Can I get in trouble?

In the last 6 months I employed a guy to do a job, at first he was brilliant and performed all his task's really well, In the last month he was taking liberty's and causing friction with his co workers by not engaging in the work the same as everyone else. It came to a head when a simple problem was blown out of all proportion and he would not accept he had done wrong and tried to "rule the roost", with all of the problems it was clear he was not going to fit in with the type of work we do, so I dismissed him.

As soon as I dismissed him he claimed that he had been racially abused by myself and the other workers.

Race or Religon wher not issues when he was given a job so why should they be an issue when he was dissmissed. I will think very long and hard before I choose my next employee.

Liguer kills WAY more people than weed does. Liquer makes people roudy and violent, it makes people do dangerous things, it is very harmfull to your liver, it is addictive, many children have been killed by drunk drivers, and many people have died of liver problems. Weed makes you calm, it is not half as dangerous to your health or too the health of people around you. Im not saying it should be legal, but if alchole is legal than so should weed, i mean how many times have you heard of a stoned driver killing somone or how many times have you heard of sombody dieing of smoking weed. It is almost impossible to overdose smokeing weed but it is very easy to overdose and die while using liquer. So why is weed illeagle but alcohole is not.
