I answered a Complaint, but then realized that it didn't state all the facts necessary to allege a cause of action against me...is there any way I can challenge it now?

Hate Crimes bill S 1105, from my understanding, protects Americans from violent hate crimes based on race, religion, gender, & sexual orientation, all basic stuff. Can anyone point out SPECIFICALLY where in the bill it says you can be prosecuted for a hate cime for saying you dislike a specific group of people?

A so called friend wrote checks in my name at a local store. I don't have money for a lawyer. What should I do to prove I didn't write them?

I have an assignment due Monday and I'vce gotten some ideas, but if I got more detailed information, maybe I can get a pretty good grade (well at least to win the case).

I'm not sure if you guys know of this case, but my class was seperated between helping the defendant and proving the defendant guilty.

Here's the case and it's an actual case quite some time ago.

Andrea Yates a victim of schzophrenia and mental disease kills her 5 infants by drowning them. She was proven to have problems and well, she believed she was Satan and Satan told her to kill her kids. Her kids also had collars on them. She said the dogs told her to take off their collas and put it on her kids. Andrea Yates were taking her mdecine a year ago and symptons were shown at that time too. Her husband went to work when she killed the kids. Is there any way I can prevent her from being guilty?

Please give a thorough response. Using excessive information is allowed!!

I am new to this politics stuff. I voted for Bush in 2004 mostly because it was easy to see where Bush is on the issues. I like Kerry but it seems he changed his mind every week on a host of issues.

Now I don't like any of the candidates. Rudy, Mitt, The Actor & McCain are boring and Barak and Hillary are not qualified. They have never led anything like a state or company or been in the military. They are just two of 100 senators. Big deal.

To be specific, the car was towed off the side of I-10 in Lafayette, LA. The car was out of the way of traffic, insured, and posed no danger. It was only there a couple of days before being towed for no apparent reason. I'd like to contest the charges and get my car back. Could someone let me know where I can get more info on the laws concerning towing over the weekend until I can talk to the Public Service Commission.

I hired and paid a lawn fertilizing company in 2006 for fertilizing service in Michigan. I sold my house in March 2007, but the same company continued fertilizing service in April, 2007 without my authorization. The fertilizing company called me requesting payment (aeration and 3 fertilizing =$198). I refused the payment because I did not request their service continued in 2007. They said I was liable because I did not cancel the service. Are they right?

i say this because it seems many liberals assert their "superior" intelligence as always being right and should never be questioned...
many smart people make bad decision as well...bad decision making isn't only for the uneducated...
myself...i graduated from two colleges, speak two languages, Japanese and English...but i never assert nor equate intelligence to good decision making as many liberals do...

Why wont the UN recognize the independence of defacto countries like....?
Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Abkhazia, Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, South Ossetia, Solmaliland ETC...these places actually run as independent countries but hardly anyone will recognize them, why wont the UN recognize and lend support to these defacto nations?

(This same question has been asked on Y!A before, I just wanted to ask again to get some more viewpoints)

Also, why does the independence movement of Western Sahara receive little or no media coverage?

The polar caps on Mars are melting faster than our arctic ice.

The ice moons of Saturn are now pools of liquid water

There are freak hurricanes at the poles on Saturn

Something has increased the reflective light we see from Venus by 40%

Even pluto has seen an increased surface activity and atmospheric change over the last decade and Pluto is as far as you can get

No - if you ask me the Sun is increasing it's output and effecting all planets and not just the Earth

Man has not been around long enough to experience real planetary change from solar cycles and that cycle is what we are heading in to.

The facts are there, it how you manipulate those finding through ignorance that fools the masses.

Why haven't they mentioned the changes on the other planets

Why do they want these changes to be exclusively for Earth and Earth alone

What is the real agenda - a carbon tax because the Sun is heating up!

I am not buying in to it or paying it!

President Bush unveiled an executive order that allows the administration to block bank accounts and any other financial assets that might be found in this country belonging to people, companies or groups that the United States deems are working to threaten stability in Iraq.

Bush cited the ``unusual and extraordinary threat'' to national security and foreign policy of the United States ``posed by acts of violence threatening the peace and stability of Iraq and undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq and to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people.''

last year i bought and i tried to obtain the titles on my 90 cadillac that my cousin had leased and paid off years ago. when i went to the regestration office they told me that i couldnt get it regestered my cousin had to because he cant sell me his car if it has a lien. i got a history report of all owners from the regestration office with the lien holders information. i later found out from an investigation that this company no longer is in business but never removed several peoples liens. the regestration office told me either i file a small claims or i wait 1yr tell the lien is up and try again because a lien is only good for six years. how do i go about getting the titles to a car that my cousin owns but it has a lien thats over 6yrs old. i have the bill of sell and all the other paperwork showing that my cousin sold me the car. how do i get the titles into my name not my cousins.

Ex is going to court for FTA. Original appearance was required for suspended driver's license. License was suspended for failure to pay support. Apparently child support docs were not listed to require a warrant if my ex was contempt.

He went to jail 2 days ago for the failure to appear and will hopefully show up for the next scheduled court date.

Is there a way to submit a request to the judge for a bench warrant to be issued once he appears before the judge? And is this appropriate?

Is seems that the suspended license does not truly enforce the support payer to pay their unpaid support...

Note: Court ordered support is issued from a different Florida county.

Thank you, in advance, for any advice you have to offer!

THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PARTY FUNDING PROBLEM - THEN - WITH TWO VOTES ON THE BALLOT PAPER - ONE FOR YOUR LOCAL M.P. OPEN TO ALL COMERS (WITH RESTRICTIONS) - AND ONE FOR PM OPEN TO ALL COMERS (WITH RESTRICTIONS) - WE COULD VOTE FOR "BOTH PEOPLE ON THEIR PROMISES AND WHETHER THEIR BELIEFS ARE ALIGNED WITH OURS OR NOT- NOT WITH SOME ANTIQUATED POLITICAL MOVEMENT.
THE CHOSEN P.M. COULD THEN APPOINT CABINET MEMBERS BASED ON ABILITY AND POLITICAL BELIEFS IN EACH AREA OF POLICY AND NOT BECAUSE OF GENERAL POLITICAL ALIGNMENT.
SURELY THIS WOULD GET THE BEST OUT OF INDIVIDUALS WHO STAND FOR OFFICE - EVERY HOUSE OF COMMONS VOTE WOULD BE A FREE VOTE AND THE "WHIP" SYSTEM WOULD DISAPPEAR OVERNIGHT.
THIS WOULD ELIMINATE MUCH OF THE "SLEAZE" IN POLITICAL LIFE TOGETHER WITH ANY PROSPECT OF A "HUNG PARLIAMENT" TOGETHER WITH AN END TO THE DEBATE OVER "PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION" AND WOULD RESULT IN A "GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE", NOW AND FOREVER - WORKING FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY. IT SEEMS SO SIMPLE!!!!
