Is the main issue with carrying a self defense item, except a gun, one of it being concealed verses being a hidden weapon?

I was invited to work abroad for 10 days, and it's my first time. The contract was made by me and was already signed by both parties. Here's the thing. If things didn't go the way the contract stipulated, what shall I do? For instance, I wasn't compensated or there's a dispute, or whatsoever.

Under whose authority I should go? Is the contract valid enough to press charges against the counterpart?

There is no embassy or consulate in the country of destination.

These electronic machines leave no paper trail by which vote verification or audit can take place.
There is no way for the voter to know his vote was correctly registered and no way to verify the count when it's done.
The following incidents were related in the Washington Post: "In Georgia, voters found that when they pressed the screen to vote for one candidate, the machine registered a vote for the opponent.

What happens to parents if their kids drink w/o their knowledge? (In the state of Texas)

For example if a few friends get together and drink at someone's house and get caught but the person's parents didnt know.

(please respond to the question and not things like: "you shouldnt be drinking in the first place" or "drinking is bad" and so on; I don't want to debate the correctness of it, i just want to know what would happen to parents for their kids actions)

...Does he have the possibility to be charged with assault/harassment? If I admit he hit me and gave me a black-eye, does the counselor have the right to negate the privacy policy, to seek criminal repercussions against him even if I don't press charges. Even if I have a visible black-eye?

Please spare me on the tirade about how I should leave him. I know, believe me. All I'm asking is pertaining to the above paragraph. I've got enough on my plate dealing with the later, and I am. I'm looking to less-complicate things through unnecessary bureaucracy. I want to talk to a professional without the threat that he will end up in jail. I'm hoping that stating my hopeful response won't sway the truth of answers I get.

Example (just an example, do not read into it): Let's say that a President wants to tap people's phone conversations.

What is wrong with the logic of people who say "If you aren't doing anything wrong, then you shouldn't care what he does".

My personal feeling is this.... it's not a matter of whether or not I am doing anything wrong. Just because I am a law abiding citizen does not mean I am going to submit to everything that the authorities tell me to do, just because I am not hiding something.

Can anyone else help me with this faulty logic?

P.S. I was not referring to Bush. It was an example that came to mind.

Liberals often pit themselves against good traditions. Bible teachings present the cure for liberalism. It is good to eat animals - good for people (who get great enjoyment and nutrition) and good for animals. Animal rights activists would annihilate against sixty million turkeys yearly, turkeys which would never even exist if they didn't end up on dinning room tables. (It is better to live and be eaten then never to have lived at all.)
Extremist environmentalists forget that trees are a renewable resource. For every tree cut down, thousands of seeds can reproduce an unlimited number of new trees, and America has more trees today than 200 years ago.
Leading liberals have prejudice against the social descendants of the Pilgrims. Liberalism tends toward racism against Europeans, sexism against males, and discrimination against Christianity.
Some people put down others to elevate themselves or their friends. Liberals often denounce Christian white males in order to elevate their special interests. Leading liberals blame religion, especially Christianity, for the world's problems, advocating instead atheistic, evolutionary socialism.
Liberals thus ignore the murder of tens of millions of people in the recent past by the atheistic, evolutionary socialist Soviet Union and Communist China. Liberals prefer kids growing up institutionalized in daycare and government schools than having them raised at home by loving parents.
And finally, in their long war against God, liberals suggest that the only good Christian is a bad Christian, that is, one who rejects the exclusive claims of Jesus Christ.

I'm having this election debate thing in school, and I'm the labour minister for the Liberals. I couldn't find much on the toronto star's site about the labour plans from the 4 parties. I need the labour plans from all four parties, not just the Liberals. If you know about the labour plans from any of the 4 parties, please tell me!

THANK YOU!

I always hear that sex offenders can not be rehabed. Seems to me that this is true and when they get out of jail/prison, they re-offend. Maybe those are just the cases we hear about. So, for you law enforcements fellas out there, can they be treated and rehabbed or once a rapist/molestor always one? Just curious, I'm not a sex offender, I know how people on here like to get all holier than thou.
