Politics & Government - 28 December 2007

A neighborhood teenager and his friend came into my home and stole my son's computer while I was at work. I confronted him about it and he said, "I think my friend may have it, but I don't." The two of them were together when it was taken. I asked for his friend's last name, address, and phone number. He claims not to know any of this. I sent the police to talk to him and he told them he doesn't know anything about it. The police aren't helping at all. What would you do if this happened to you?

So, no one compares to John F. Kennedy and I do not think no president after him will or has been on the side of the poor and the middle class of America.

I'm an American, and I see questions and answers on here all the time about how bad things are now in the UK (Immigration, economy, EU membership...) I was unaware about these issues. Do you think that the UK will survive and move on?

I was driving toward the top of a hill, as I drove over the peak of the hill a truck pulled in front of me on a snow covered, and untreated road, I started to brake and lost traction.
I ended up wrecking my friends mothers truck into the back end of the truck in front of me. The vehicle I was driving (aka "my truck") has extensive front end damage, hood bent into a A shape, passenger side fender rubbing the tire, radiator leaking like a wailing baby, sorta' like me at this point.
The guy I hit, 1ft width, 2 inch deep dent in his bumper... no other damage. The cop comes to the scene shakes the hands and greets the driver, by name they chat. Officer takes all involved information and proceeds to chat with his buddies I hit. Shortly after, the guy I hit drives off, soon after, I'm handed a ticket for "speeds to fast for conditions"

I'd like to point out the officer did not take any statement from me, and I was given no chance to talk with him about the ticket.

I'll bet Obama has met many, white and black folks that have experienced this. And, it broke his heart. That is one of the reasons he is running for president.

Have you ever met anyone who was sick, and had no insurance or a way to get emergency care? I know Obama has, and he took them to a doctor too. But he could get to everyone with the same problem. That is why he is running for president, and that is why he will win.

i was initially charged with DWI (in texas) but prosecuters dropped the charges and we settled with an obstruction of passage way charge. i was given 12 months deferred adjudicated probation which started last May. i have been good so far and no problems....but today I was pulled over by a local constable and given a speeding ticket (50 in a 40). from a PRACTICAL perspective is this enough to get my probation revoked? i know that probably techincally its a crime but i am thinking that this might be a minor deal...and do i tell my probation officer? she has a pretty volatile personality.

This man is claiming to be the prince of Liberia. He is trying to get us to accept packages from his country. He is trying to get us to put $77 million into our bank account. I don't feel comfortable at my home, he said he has our address and obviously has our phone number and our e-mail. He even demanded my husband's work phone number when I answered the phone unknowingly earlier. I didn't give him the number, but his e-mail said he already has our address courtesy of the 'Records of Ghana.' How the hell did this happen and what should I do? The police took the printed e-mails and they also turned everything in to the FBI. I am still scared to death. I've never given out personal information like my address, and this man somehow got it. I am afraid for the safety of my family. I am hanging up when he calls and my doors and windows are locked. I just don't feel this is enough.

I have been living in my apartment building for over a year. The apartment constantly has a fumigation/cigarette smell. First I asked the management company to fix the problem. They tried for several months and the problem still remained. I then asked them if I could be released from my lease obligations because they were not able to stop the smell. They said no, they cannot release me from my lease so I just continued to live in the apartment. A few weeks ago I found out I have some problems with my throat and lungs after went to the doctors. I am a non-smoker. It has not yet been linked to living in my apartment, but I'm almost 100% sure I'm sick due to living in the apartment. Do I have a legitimate case? Can I take the management company to court?

What laws are there in international waters? I though that there were none, but what keeps people from taking someone out to sea and killing them? So there has to be some basic law out there that all or most countries agree on.

And what about cruise ships? They sail into international waters, don't they? Are they like little bits of the country of origin or something, or do they have their own laws?

Any answers would help.
