There is a man that drives by everyday taking pictures of our home. We go outside to ask him if he needs anything and he just takes off. Is what he is doing legal? It kind of bothers my husband and me, makes us uncomfortable. Does anyone know what we can do?

Liberals like bashing every American president, but support communism and other countries instead of America. I dare Bush bashers to see how much stress Mr. Bush goes through everyday. It looks like he has aged 20 years in less than four years because of selfish Liberals with nothing better to do than bash every great American leader. How about listening to waht your president says and supporting your leader?

On Monday, I believe I will be awarded a default judgment against an individual for assault and battery.

Can this judgment be dismissed if the individual files for bankruptcy?

My mother's attorney said that a judgment for an assault and battery case cannot be dismissed whereas judgments awarded for other matters may be dismissed.

If you are wondering what happened, three years ago I made the mistake of attempting to break up a fight that was taking place outside my neighbors house. One of the onlookers wasn't happy with me holding people back and hit me with a metal pipe from behind. As I laid unconscious, I was kicked in the face multiple times. My jaw was fractured and I had to undergo multiple surgeries to correctly align it (a titanium plate had to be screwed into my right mandible). The individual basically got a slap-on-the-wrist in the criminal court because his lawyer was able to get him tried as a youthful offender.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why is America better than the rest of world? Liberals have ruined the rest of the world?
"Have you ever asked yourself how a country 250 years old runs rings in virtually every way you can imagine around countries that have been around thousands of years? How is it we are the world's lone superpower? How is it that we come to feed the world? How is it that we, Americans, the United States of America, is the economic engine, the technological engine of this world? How is that possible? We're no different. We came out of the womb as human beings just as everybody else around the world did, those of you lucky enough to make it out of the womb, what's the difference? How can this be?

why is that if people from non white countries illegaly immigrate to US, there is a big fuss about it but when people people from european countries immigrate suddenly everything is OK
i bet, mexicans and other south Americans arent the only illegall immigrants in the US, there are several European illegals living in the country and not to mention africans
therefore my question is why are we targeting only the south Americans, y not others as well

I want some answers .MELBOURNE, Fla. -- A grieving widow said she wants to know why her dying husband was reportedly denied immediate first aid at a crash scene.

A CPR expert was at the scene, but he claims police kept him away from the dying man, WESH 2 News reported.

"I came over, I offered assistance but they turned me down and told me to step away," Bob Ellis said.


Ellis is a former volunteer firefighter and CPR instructor, who was there when John Wells, 57, crashed his car.

Police said Wells appeared to be having a heart attack and was waving for help before the crash.Police said they helped him to the sidewalk, where Wells asked them to call his wife, but then he started to die.

"The gentleman was gurgling and I offered to maintain the airways, check whatever we could do and again I was told to go away," Ellis said. "The only thing they did was prop his head up, which is exact opposite of what we should have done.

Ellis said police would not let him help, and said paramedics were on the way.

"I did watch him die and I was very upset about it," he said.

Lisa Wells, the victim's wife, watched the interview with Ellis in shock.

"Maybe he could have saved his life, you know, if he was able to help him in some way John might be here," Wells said.

Melbourne police said they will not answer any questions about why they kept Ellis away, because the matter is under investigation.

WESH 2 medical expert Dr. Todd Husty, who is also the director of Emergency Medical Services for Seminole County, said that Ellis should have been able to help.

"The rule of thumb at a medical scene is that the person with the highest level of education, the highest level of training, really, you relinquish control to them," Husty said.

Wells said she is dependent on her husband's income.

"I don't know what I'm going to do," she said.

Police said paramedics did get to the dying man minutes later, but could not revive him. His cause of death and autopsy results have not been released.

If I want to use a widely available image of a public figure, say Larry King, on my own website, how do I make sure whether it is in the public domain thus having no copyright protection? Since usually it is the photographer that owns the copyright, is there a simple way to find out whom the photographer is, or I should contact the public figure directly? What about those images floating on the internet that are TV screen shots of Larry King broadcasting? Are they safe to use?

I propose that all American owned and opporated business force English as our native tougue. Give them a taste of their own medicine it's time we take back our country. This belongs to Americans not Alians or illegals. My anncesstors came over to this country from Italy. They learned the lauguage and the American ways. My family helped build the railroads and my father wired the first 45 floors of the John Hancock Building in Chicago. My Dad was a Military Police Officer for the United States Army and faught in WWII. What have these people done for us? Foriegnors should not have the same rights as Americans. If so become an American! AMEN!

People please tell me republicans aren't really this stupid.I just saw a question asked where people said they support the troops but don't support the war and all the disagrees astounded me.Then when people said the only way to support the troops is to support the war, a bunch of agrees.So in other words according to a republican you have to sell out your moral values about war and killing of civilians and troops and support this war or else you aren't supporting the troops?

Hmmm lets see,my best friend was in the war.Sent him letters all the time let him know how things were going at home,kept him updated on local news.Sent him jokes shared some laughs with him,sent anythhing he needed that was allowed to be sent over seas.always offered encouraging words and never said anything negative about what he was doing there.How is that not supporting the troops in the field? By the way,he died in the war and left behind a wife and kids who are struggling,wheres Bush to help them?

From what I have read the highest minimun wage paid is $7.85 an hour (thats sad enough) but u figure this at a 40 hour work week. In my state minimun wage is $5.15. And gas prices now an average where I live at $3.30 a gallon. It would take 1/4 of thier weekly earnings to full up their gas tank. This is a sad sad situation. I'm lucky. My husband has a good job and we live a comfortable life. But I often find myself wondering how the younger ones in my family my nieces and nephews can afford to live. Its so sad what is happening. I hope and pray someone will lead our country to better times soon!
