I paid for a massage gift certificate online. It was from what seemed like a reputable site and I paid through PayPal. I have several emails between myself and the owner of the spa and she has assured me numerous times that the certificate was "in the mail". Needless to say, almost two months later and fifteen emails after the fact, no certificate has been sent. She acknowledges this.

My question is, since begging, pleading, asking for a refund, etc has not produced any results, would I be within my rights to begin posting my personal experience with this company on various newspaper and internet outlets or would that be considered libel ?

Whether it be terrorist or traitor.. we seem to throw around very powerful words like they are candy these days. Should people be more responsible with their language? Are they damaging the moral of our great Nation.. much like McCarthyism did?

Matt Lauer on the Today Show: "Do you believe that the war on terror can be won?"
George W Bush: "No, I don't think the war on terror can be won, but what I believe we can get it to a point where it can be controlled."

Bush continues to beat the same war drum, proclaiming that withdrawal from Iraq would represent defeat. However, he has already admitted that the war on terror cannot be won, at least not in the conventional sense, so how does the war in Iraq “control” terrorism? The answer is that it doesn’t. We’re not going to wake up one morning and miraculously declare victory in Iraq, particularly because we haven’t a clue what factors identify true victory. Our troops are caught in the crossfire of a civil war and no insurgency is going to resolve the conflict. Terrorism cannot be defeated with bullets. Only through shared intelligence and strategic police work worldwide can terrorism be controlled.

It prevents the government from preventing you from "bearing arms." It never even says you can OWN a gun; only that you can "bear arms," or CARRY weapons.

It does not prevent the government from making you register your gun. It does not prevent the government from running a background check on you. And if you really love guns... you should be willing to go through all this to own one. Because you should be completely in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people.

I think, if nothing else, Virginia Tech should have taught you that dangerous weapons + dangerous people = death.

Don't tell me guns aren't dangerous; they are. That's why you don't give one to a five-year-old.

Mexicans in general with a few exceptions are very resourceful
human beings. And up until now the more so! But there are exceptions unfortunately. Still we don't need those individuals to survive. History has proved it. Anyway, don't be surprised when finally this non-sense disappears lest you critics are ready for a disappointing rude awakening. That will give you all the attention you deserve!!!

When Americans commit crimes aren't we taken away from our children? our mothers and fathers?

I know for a fact that if marijuana became legal i for one would smoke it everyday. Not only for recreation but also for the help it gives me for my back pain. Also I believe that people should be smoking the buds instead of going out and getting drunk then driving home and risking there lives and others. Any thoughts?

liberals preach tolerance and acceptance......but those ideals go out the window.

example: the purist wants you to accept homosexuality. but if you don't they label you a bigot, and don't respect your views.

example: the constitution says i'm allowed to own a gun. but the purist would take a dump on the constitution and throw my butt in jail for owning a gun. they're not tolerant of my right to own it.

example: if anything offensive is said about gays, you are a bigot. but they can take a duke on the virgin mary, and call it art. the purist would have no problem with outlawing christianity and replacing it with some lame hippy wicca religion that we have to accept

As the new executor, can I just tell her to leave and escort her off the property? Or do I have to formally evict her?
