I'm a pretty savvy consumer, but unfortunately I still got taken for some money by an online service that I had investigated and thought to be reputable.

I'm tired of my emails and calls not being returned!

What are some different consumer advocacy organizations which deal with people who've gotten taken for money online that I can contact to report this experience and hopefully apply some pressure.

I'm sure this service figures they can ignore me away -- but I'm tired of being screwed over and am determined to pursue this to my satisfaction.

Many will cry, No, we cannot restrict free speech. But is hate speech worth protecting? Is speech which derides a person because of his or her sex, color, or religion worthy of 1st Amendment protection? Note than in most European countries, they restrict Nazi (flagrantly anti-Semitic) speech, and they don't complain about how they feel "oppressed" or subjected to utter despotism...

Your thoughts?

instead of just giving me Marx quotes and saying it is better than capitalism? I would prefer details on how, in the real world, everyone would get what they need. Who would decide who gets what?

Everyone is ranting about Hillary's healthcare plan. The right-wingers say it's socialism repackaged and the liberals are saying it doesn't go far enough.
Is there anywhere that this health proposal is presented in written form where it can be accessed by voters? I'd like to read specifically what it is she wants to do before I make any judgments.

It seems reasonable to me to keep enemy combatants locked up for the duration of the conflict, however long it takes, so why do we have to have Quantanimo bay on one hand, with crazy treatment of inmates, and then a capture and release program in Iraq on the other?

What the hell happened to the old, effective way of doing things?

I applied for a job and was told that i was hired as soon as my background check came back. Well i got into a argument with a neighbor and the neighbor told my other neighbor that she was going to call the place where i was getting the job at and tell them that i only wanted the job so i could steal from the store. The manger told me about the incident and that the same day i was told she was going to do this that she actually did!! Now the manger will not hire me over hear say. After she promised me the job and told friends and family members that i was going to be hired untill my neighbor called and lied on me. Isnt this hear say? Slander? Cant anything be done about this matter? If so, what? Isnt this discrimination? Not to mention the same person has Schizophrenia!! She has harassed me numberous times and called the police on me for false reasons which was found out when the law arrived!! Can anyone help me? Do i need to get a lawyer and should i?

Ok here is my situation...

I am 17 and have been working at a local furniture store for abouth 2.5 years. I started out doing odd jobs like cleaning etc. but last summer I got promoted to TV tech guy. Throughout those 2.5 years i have worked a constant schedule, tuesday 6pm-9pm thursday 6pm-9pm and saturday 9am-5pm at $9.50/hour. My problem started about two months ago when I decided to get involved in my school and play football in my senior year which meant that I would have to take saturdays off for a month and a half (it was not essential to have a tv tech there on saturdays, he just needed someone there to do pickups). When I told my boss this he took it pretty well (he was kind of a dick but thats understandable) and told me that I should be able to get saturday's back after football was over. He just got one of the warehouse guys to come up to the store to do pickups and he left about two weeks before I was scheduled to return. My boss then went out and hired a tv tech guy...

That liberals will scream and protest for the polar bears, trees, fish, birds, etc to their right to life and well being.

Which is all well and good.

But at the same time, they don't scream and protest for the innocent baby in the womb right to life.

Why is that?
