The First Amendment of the Constitution protects the rights of marketers to advertise. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that the absolute prohibition of commercial speech shown to be false, deceptive and misleading is not a violation of the First Amendment.

I am doing some research on how people feel about this topic.
I could use some feedback,

How do you feel about this, do you feel that commercial speech should be entitled to the same First Amendment protection as noncommercial speech, news reporting, and political commentary. Or do you feel a different
standard should be applied to commercial speech.

I have been on SS disability for about 6 years. I was under the impression that children of disabled persons can also receive a check that is a certain percentage of what the disabled parent receives. I inquired a few times and was told that my child wasn't eligible because I was receiving all that I could get, and that maybe if my disability check was more, then the child could receive one as well. I don't understand this since I know so many people whose children received checks due to their disabled parent. One in particular is a man who claimed he has 8 children, only 3 of them ever lived with him, and when he got his disability, each of those 8 grown children received several thousand dollars in back pay. What exactly are the rules here? Thanks.

to another country, that sooner or later their "ways" will be left behind? That immigration into a country like Canada or the USA will eventually mean INTEGRATION?

It's frightening to think that people hold traditional values to such ridiculous high regard that one would kill their own daughter over these values, religious or otherwise.

How sad. Poor kid just wanted to fit in.

This is what is really sad but true with all ethnicities and not just this one, so don't go off on a rampage, it's not about attacking one race, but about knowing that leaving behind one country means embracing change for the future.

Could it be because, once he had all the fact about why we went into Iraq, maybe he didn't agree with it? The White House admits they were given information which was inacurate about the WMD's and Gen. Powell was the one pleading the case before the UN. Who knows what went through his mind?

Just a warning for parents visiting Parris Island DO NOT stay at the Howard Johnson Express Inn in Beaufort SC. We just went down to see my son graduate and the place was horrible. I was given a list of places near the base and didn't bother to do any research. After the fact I read many reveiws on the hotel that would have kept me away had I seen them earlier.

My father passed away a little less than two years ago.Since then, she has hired this RAT to come in and remodel her kitchen and install new hardwood floors.But he's all talk. I am the only one who is home while he works.If he shows up, it's not until 3 or 4pm and either works for an hour or two or he comes over for 2minutes and then says he has to go return something at Home Depot.This usually takes him a few hours to do, I'm not sure why.Oddly enough he lives right by Home Depot and he could very easily take whatever it is with him at night and return it next day.The only time he actually does work is when he is putting in something big that everyone can see. My mom made the mistake and paid him upfront and since then he has shown up with a brand new truck, a diamond watch and he's recently bought his girlfriend (who dates sugardaddies online for money) an engagement ring.Hes taking advantage of her and her situation and someone needs to stop him but I don't know how.

breaking a law? Isn't it called witholding evidence? Failure to report a crime?

And what's the best way to sneak one in without the staff seeing?

And before you all start SHOUTING at me, which I know you will, can I point out that I happen to be a single mother of 6 (3 in care) and my poor babies are going without prezzies again this year.

So, really, I'm doing it for my kids. OK!

I have a $1700 dvd/nav system installed in the car along with 20" rims. Am I allowed to take that property back also? I'm in Kansas. Those items are expensive but are not going to increase the value at an auction.

Hypothetically, a couple is married and they have a will. One dies and afterwards the wife wants to change the will completely. She wants to take some heir's off the will completely. They were originally intended to receive 95 % of the asset. She desperately wants them to receive nothing.

She sat down with a lawyer and changed the will, but a year later the lawyer is claiming that now those intended to receive 95 % still need to be included. They will now receive 95 % of half of the assets. Meaning 45 % total.

Does this sound right? Can it not be changed now?

Any input would be great,

The case was for misdemeanor petty theft which I was not aware of until a background check pulled it up. The background check said I still had a outstanding warrant. When I called the courthouse in Florida though they said the case had been null processed and was closed. How can I get this off my record and clear the warrant issued?

The charge is a felony, and it's drug related (doesn't get much worse, right?). However, it's also 18 years old, adjudication withheld, and sealed. I have no intention of concealing it from the BON, I just want to know if anyone has a similar experience and can help me understand what my chances are. Furthermore, will any hospital hire me?

This accident occurred in a restaurant parking lot. The other driver failed to stop at a T-intersection within the parking lot. The cop wouldn't issue a ticket since he said it is their policy only to issue tickets for violations occurring on roadways, not private parking lots. The other driver's insurance company is eager to get my friend to settle. The other driver failed to yield the right of way even though my car was stopped. She plowed into my car and totalled it. I suffered a serious injury which is still being diagnosed by my doctor. One lawyer I contacted said he wasn't interested since the accident occurred on private property. My question is "Is their a law that requires drivers to obey state traffic laws while driving within parking lots in the state of Texas? Particulary right of way traffic laws"
