She successfully sued another neighbor for $500 4 or 5 years ago for a similar incident and did not replace the disputed section of fence.
There is some discoloration on the post, but it is not significant, and cannot be seen from more that 10 ft.
the post is a 2.5" in vinyl post that is very close to a cedar fence that I am responsible for maintaining.
She recently also stained her section of the wooden fence and got stain on the back side of the vinyl post.
She wouldn't tell us what color stain they used so we had to guess and we ended up with a lighter color.
The vinyl fence is at least four years old and has discoloration in other areas. She placed a note in our mail box with a quote for $200, and asked us to "remit" the amount. She spelled our name wrong and did not use a stamp or the mail service.
We expect she will take the case to small claims court as she did in the past.

OK I know that most people here are antis. But why does someone say mean things about children? Like anchor babies..that is a very mean thing to call a child!

And some of the things people say about children..do you think that some children are less human than others because of their parent's documentation? They didn't do anything.

It is Wrong to attack children and you know it.

So...

Do you love your children?

How would you feel about someone who didn't like you attacking Your children?

They call him a liar because his message is positive and the Democrats can't tolerate any good news when it comes to Iraq or the war on terror. They are so fully invested in and hope for failure in Iraq that they will attack an honorable and decent man like General Petraus simply for telling the truth. It must be painful to be a Democrat and to hope and pray that your country fails and that young soldiers die. I would feel terrible if those were the things that gave me pleasure the way bad news pleases Democrats and good news enrages them. So sad.

In the case of Pope v. US, a friend of the mother of baby stood by as the mother, who was disturbed by religious fanaticism, beat her baby. after the beating, the friend took the mother to church and returned to her home with her where the baby was found dead.

In the US , there is no legal duty to rescue another from harm... the good samaritan law only protects rescuers from prosecution for harmful consequences from good faith actions.

BUT ,, the friend could have done the minimum effort of calling the police or speaking out to discourage the mom. Shouldn't we have a duty to do something that requires minimal effort relative to the seriousness of harm???. I would agree we don't have a duty to prevent the harm by putting ourselves in danger.... BUT shouldn't we at least have a duty to call police if we witness another in danger of bodily injury.

What is the legal reasoning for not criminalizing a failure to act with minimum duty of care???

I went to a memorial service, watched some 9/11 specials, had a moment of silence, mourned for the victims and their families and I am planning to do to the crash site in Pennsylvania where flight 93 crashed. It is such a sad day indeed and I will never forget it and where I was. What did you do to remember?
PLEASE NO POLITICAL BASHING. This is a very sensitive subject.

Do they always leave just before victory?

Or is Patraeus lying as he has been instructed to do by his master GB?

What do YOU think about people who say "9/11 was an inside job!" or something.

Sad thing is, in eight decades some people are going to be saying "9/11 never happened - its all a lie!"

I think some people will be offended by this... But I think they're a bunch of pricks. In eight decades, when we're all dead, I hope that everyone acknowledges the tragedy and the consequent wars...

What is your opinion on those conspiracy theorists?

I was a cop; and there is no secret that alot of child offenders come out of prison and become REPEAT OFFENDERS (I'm specificially talking about the sexual offenders!).
I believe that it is too soon to know if an INMATE is "rehabilitated" just after release from prison. I believe they should be HOUSED in a "transiitional housing"~~somewhere in the desert away from people~~ for ONE YEAR "AFTER" THEIR RELEASE FROM PRISON, for further evaluation, PRIOR TO them moving into neighborhoods where children reside. What do you think?

I have a question that I need some help on. Its for my Law class. OK, four explorers go into a cave to explore. Eventually, it caves in, and they are trapped inside for 2 weeks. Around the 2nd week, the man known as Watson decides to play dice: Loser gets killed and eaten. After a while, when they are going to play, Watson starts to back down, but the men say he wanted to to this, he has to. Watson was the loser, so he was killed and eaten. Now, the three men are in court. What is their fate: Hanged, 6 Months of Jail, Free. It would be nice for some nice, detailed answers. Thank you!
