If I use music from say Robbie Williams or links to other peoples web pages, or download art from other sites to use on my web page, is that legal or will I get in trouble for copyright infringement?

Very fat people who are lazy, will not work, eat to much, and have lots of health problems because of it?

I Know, not every fat person is lazy, so don't start with the polically correct B.S.

Look at Sandy Burglar He stole papers about Clinton not just copies but thee original thing and teared them up witch is a federal crime I mite add. The he didn't get jail time but community service and a fine. His Licenses was only taken away from him only 2 or 3 years now would you call that above the law?

If a republican did it they say he needs to be in jail and say how bad republicans are blah blah.

Is there a device, or any other means to detect a tapped phone line? Would asking the local phone co. do any good? Or for that matter,ask the local government if/why they're listening in?
I have a friend that I've been talking to often lately on the phone. Both of us using the good old fashioned "land-lines".
Yesterday, I was both surprised and dismayed when she told me that HER phone line is probably being monitered and to be careful what I talk about.
Since I'm not a criminal, I'm not worried if a lawman "listens in". So I'm asking this question in the name of civil rights and right to privacy.
My friend however, says she lives in an area where the lawmen ARE needed and hears her phone "click" a lot when she's using it. I have no reason to think she's a criminal. Her two sons (19 and 22) are no angels, but nothing even close to a felony or similar. Plus neither one even lives at home anymore, so they don't justify a phone being tapped.

And, NO--I am NOT some kid trying to get their homework done. I'm over 55 yrs old, and when I was in school, I hated everything about history & government, etc., so I just messed around, didn't pay any attention, and well---you know. Now, I need someone to inform me: What is a Conservative and what is a Liberal? I KNOW that 1 is a Democrat, the other Republican, but--which is which? Where did the party names Democrat & Republican come from? Also, how did the names Conservative & Liberal get tagged onto these 2 polital parties? And, if anyone knows, how did the GOP (this part I DO remember--this is Republican "Grand Ol' Party) get represented by an elephant, and the Democrats are represented by a donkey? Yep, another one of those: "thought I'd never need anything like this." Now, I find myself quite confused when the media simply refers to each as either Liberal or Conservative. Please help---who is who? Thank you!

Sen. Hillary Clinton and Rep. John Dingell have quietly introduced legislation to expand Medicaid by another $55 -- $60 billion over the next 5 years.
This would just be a bigger entitlement program than anything we even have today, costing well over a trillion dollars a year based on estimates from the last fight over Hillary Cuban socialism health care.
Talking about adding such massive new entitlements on top of our already overpromised entitlement spending spree is insanity. It is as if the Democrats are not numerically literate. But for the Democrats this is just one step towards the government paying for health care for everyone.

I was recently given a conditional offer at uni which included passing police checks. At present my CRB has not even been sent off for. Prior to my app I made inquires as to how my 10 yr old record would effect me and was assured any decision would go b4 a panel of 3 people and they could not really see how it would effect me. I recently enquired as to how long it would be b4 I knew I was in or not. The course tutor asked me what I had been done for. He then rang me back 15mins later and said I he'd spoken to the ambulance service and they would not employ me after the course so he was withdrawing my application, he did so just like that off hes own back. I have worked a year and a half to get that place and I am devestated. I have a caution for shoplifting a conviction for criminal damage and shoplifting all committed when I was a teenager, none have which have prevented me from working with the civil service, youth service, st john or elderly residential homes. This seems so wrong

Are governments and individual politicians meant to do what the majority of the public want?
Or are they meant to to do what they themselves think is right? If so why and what if public opinion changes a year after they are elected and they want a situation dealt with in a different way. How can you force a government to do what the majority of the population want?

i could invent and patent a aerosol that contains tobbaco smoke so that if you are in a pub say that you could have a spray of this without going outside to have a ciggy . How do you think the law would see this as you would not be lighting up .

What would happen if someone tried to use the stolen passport?
if they have used used stolen passport for entry into another country and done something wrong, and then you entered that country with your new passport ,would that reflect on you?

I had my passport stolen with other items ,reported it to the police and the passport office,I now have a new passport with a different number and was just wondering about the above?
