Me and my friend got an apartment together a few months ago, we agreed to each pay half of the rent each month. He lost his job about a month ago, and he doesn't have any money for this months rent. He is supposedly looking for a job now... I was just wondering what my legal rights are? Is there anything I can do under the law to make him pay half the rent?

This was scheduled last year when the surge was put into effect. It was called a SURGE because it was always supposed to be TEMPORARY.

Basically the 15 month tour will be up for the 30,000 soldiers and we don't have another "surge" to replace it. It's like dropping an object and taking credit because the object successfully fell.

But Bush is going to announce it tomorrow like he's doing it due to our "success". Is everyone's memory really that short?

Yes -- a very controversial question. We all know republicans spew propaganda today about how Bill Clinton was so passive against Saddam Husein. Democrats, in the same tone, defend him, saying Saddam was never much of a threat.

I was thinking about this the other day. If good old Bill would have been a little more proactive with Saddam, perhaps there would have been a chain reaction. Perhaps Al Queda would have reconsidered their tact. Perhaps September 11th would have never happened.

What do you all think? I know this is a sensitive subject, and I'm open to your bashing.

We only have elections for homecoming queen, the guide lines say it must be a female student. we however do not have a free election of homecoming king. we have a fund raiser call Mr Wildcat, in which the winner is the one who receives the most monetary donations, therefore not everyone in the school gets to place their votes. there is not any set limit to how much one can give, therefore all "votes" are not equal. it is also not sponsored by the school but by the cheerleaders, whom get to keep the money. is this legal? do i have a argument to run? would a lawyer help me fight this case of sexist inequalities?

Whether it's switching to public transport instead of driving, installing energy efficient light bulbs, using the clothes line instead of the dryer or buying carbon off-sets, there are a lot of things we can do in our everyday lives to reduce our carbon footprint.

This is a disaster for our trucking industry and our economy. I am a major shipper with 18 major truck companies in my fleet. They all have extremely high safety programs and training and still manage to be in accidents. This will get worse due to Bush's love for the corrupt goverment to our south.
Not to mention the drugs and Al Queda sneaking through . If the wait at the border is too long the inspectors are instructed to pass them through.

Ok.... where do I begin? We were throwing a birthday party for myself and my mother's boyfriend at her house. I guess one of the neighbors put in a complaint that the the noise was too loud and they came by to tell us to turn it down around 10 o'clock. They came back around 12 AM while a few of us were in the living room. ... I didn't realize how loud the music was at that particular time because hey... I'm celebrating my birthday and having a good time. I look up and 2 police officers are walking through the front door of my mother's house. I had been drinking, but I was coherent enough to notice that something isn't right about that picture. I approach the first police officer Asking if he had a warrant to enter my mother's house twice.. No answer, asked if had the right to enter my mother's house. He says he doesn't have to answer that, but I'm being arrested for Obstruction of Justice. How can I be arrested for that when I only asked 3 questions?
