Ok, here is the scenario. This is both persons 2nd marriage. The husband has 6 children from the previous marriage and the wife has 2 children. They have no children together. After being married for 24 years the husband dies. Does everything automatically go to the wife. Are his children entitled to anything? What if they had a will? Would wife be entitled to everything still? I am looking for the legal point of view. Thanks

Rep. Sen. Ted Stevens is being investigated regarding the oil industry by the FBI and IRS. Another republican is under investigation. I thought this was the BETTER party? I thought YOUR politicians weren't corrupt?

Truth is, politicians are politicians, regardless of party, and by having this belief yours is better than the other is a flat out lie...

I was just checking out some of the questions asked not too long ago. I saw one that stated that an adult had 10 files of underage pornography stored on his hard-drive. In this particular area, it's punishable by 10 years per file. This equals 100 years in prison. Isn't that a bit too much? Sure, they did something pretty bad, but they still deserve another shot, in my opinion. I'm a Canadian and I'm not familiar with Canada's laws, however, it just seemed a bit too much. I do not support any type of behaviour like this, but people make mistakes in their lives. I think the law needs to deal with this (and may other types of crime as well) type of crime differently. They need to weigh the circumstances. If say, somebody intentionally viewed underage pornography, but, made attempts to stop, and did not harm anyone; should have their trial adjusted accordingly. I fully agree, there are people out there who deserve punishment, but there are those who don't.
What do you think?

If we have control of the oil in Mexico, Venezuela, Saudia Arabia, Iraq, Iran and Alaska plus control of the Russian pipeline running through Afghanistan and Yemen/Sudan supply route to China, would it mean the USA can remain as the sole superpower for another century?

Would it be worth it, launching a simultaneous invasion of Iran and Venezuela?

John Edwards made millions as a trial attorney in malpractice cases. Now while no one should blame attorneys soley for the incredible increase in the cost of healthcare, physicians nevertheless order a significant number of tests as the practice "defensive" medicine. We should first look at the record breaking profits and CEO bonuses from companies like United Healthcare when he discuss the rising cost of healthcare. However, John Edwards needs to comeforth and explain how someone who was prostituting the system can is now qualified to fix the system. That doesn't mean patients who have been wrongfully harmed shouldn't have legal rights it just means attorneys shouldnt get 1/3 to 1/2 the judgment. Trial attorneys just have to be accountable for a small portion of the healthcare crisis.

I am just wondering this, because I know a lot of people use immigrants for landscaping,drywall, housecleaning, and, as a mother's helper. I am just wondering, if you hire someone to mow your lawn (for example) do you ask for documentation of legal status?

I was wondering a person's general rights when in the vicinity of the police. If I see a police officer interact with a subject, am I allowed to refuse to leave the vicinity so that I can be a third party witness to their conversation? Is there a reasonable distance they can force me to go to when the subject is passive?

I hear too many instances in the news where police don't know their authority when it comes to civil rights issues from flag desecration (some may not approve but it is indeed a right) to a mother being able to breastfeed in a public place. Am I allowed to speak with an officer in a situation I am not directly involved in? Am I allowed to call the police to request further police assistance if an officer is unreasonable?

All things considered, the inital reasons for our involvment in the middle east being that they /had/ WMD and that saddam /ties/ with Al-Quieda, both being proved bunk; The UN not approving that our involvment is in direct violations to the UN charter.

war crime- noun
Usually, war crimes. crimes committed against an enemy, prisoners of war, or subjects in wartime that violate international agreements or, as in the case of genocide, are offenses against humanity.
How do you feel about a country that is ran by war criminals, and how would it affect us in the future? Will other countries be less likely to help us? Should we expect more 9-11s?

I think the Nazi's started this way.

Benjamin Franklin once said "Those who are willing to give up liberty for temporal safety deserver neither liberty nor safety".

I think he had a great point.

I will never take one myself.

They really aren't interested in anyones rights. And besides, ACLU doesn't form a word like a good acronym should.
How about American Society of Sociopaths Eager to Sue?
or Independent Democrats Intent On Terminating Security?
Anyone else got any?

I know that its not just point and shoot but takes a lot of mathematical skill and I'm good at that but is there any way they would allow some one to train lefty? Because it feels so unnatural right-handed.

If so, then why do liberals get their panties in a bunch whenever scientists voice dissenting views to the THEORY of global warming? Isn't it healthy to openly debate ALL theories, in order to arrive at proper conclusions? Especially one in which the liberals are wanting to spend OUR tax dollars on legislation based on this THEORY???

Why are they trying to silence the opposition, especially where science is concerned?

I'd like to know the legality of this situation. I live alone in an apartment in Florida. My parents, who live in NY, came down here while I was held under a Baker Act in a local facility. I know for a fact that they had attempted to get into my apartment via the managers, who denied them because of the lack of my written permission. However, a friend of mine has a key to my apt., and they would likely know that. Long story short, my laptop (Which my parents bought me but is used exclusively by me) was turned on twice while I was away. I haven't found any programs on it, but they could be hidden, so I'd like to know:

Is it legal for them to turn on my computer without my permission, and view any files/history/data? Or to use anything they viewed, such as e-mails or files, against me in legal matters? Or to use my passwords, which I store in a file, to access my accounts on the web? If they placed a trojan on it, is it legal for them to view/use the gathered information against me?
