In the light of all the uproar about sweeny , who could be out of prison in 5 yrs for kidnapping & abusing a 3 yr old girl.
If i was the judge i would give him a life sentence, and that would mean 'LIFE'. Or better still, be recommended for surgical castration.

I have placed a lien upon some livestock that I have fed for 20 months. The lien has been foreclosed on. Now am trying to get "title" to the animals as they are registered. The recorded owner is now challening my lien 90 days after foreclosure. I am not sure what this means or the steps that will be gone through. How long does it take, etc.

Is it legal, as long as you are wearing non-thong underwear and a bra?

Just curious...because I was thinking of starting a National Walk Around In Your Underwear Day, if there is not one already. But I don't really feel like getting arrested and sent to Juvenile Hall.

Does anyone else think this would be funny??? I think it's hilarious... :-)

I recently met someone who is a legal immigrant to this country, from Europe - he works long distance on the computer for a company in Britain who pays his salary into his British bank account - now the question is, is he also liable for income tax in the United States? He doesn't know, he asked me, and I don't know ... does anybody?

Are there age restrictions? Certain designated areas? I hear that women are, even in the streets of Downtown Windsor, but not really sure.

the powers enumerated to them by the constitution?

For the last 70 years the legislative and executive branches have been turning over what is intended to be thier exclusive duty of enacting legislation over to government agencies (such as head start) and have formed departments that deal with issues that are outside of their enumerated powers (such as the department of education).

The Supreme court has spent the last 60 years (particularly in the 60's and 70') legislating rather than interpreting law. Legislation is suppossed to be done entirely by the Congress.

Say you suffered a scratched knee or elbow ...

I can understand if the lot was in need of repair, and you tripped over broken concrete ... but what if you just stumbled over your own feet? Would you try to hold them responsible? What grounds would you have?

Over the past 2yrs, I have received over 400+ emails and 600+ phone calls from an ex-business partners' jealous homosexual lover. Originally, he had no influence over my ex-business partner's decisions regarding our professional relationship, but somewhere along the line, their personal lives spilled over into our corporate affairs, resulting in the business partner's termination. This was the day that his houseboy launched his obsesive harassment campaign against me. He began by illegally ordering and using our corporate credit cards and forging my name. I filed a police report with the Houston Police Department, and had signed statements and video from the stores he used the cards, but the police never did anything! Since then, I filed two more reports for harrasment, yet HPD does nothing. Now, he has continued to call, and email with obsesive hollow threats and vulgar comments. I have copies of most of the emails and voice mails. I cannot change my contact info either. Out of space

Okay, I have heard that a parent should get the child if their is abuse, should the word abuse be redefined. because to some it means mental, physical and emotional. No matter how you might think of it, we all have been through mental, physical, and emotional abuse as a child, and we are still alive to speak about it. Mentally competent is hard to prove in the court of law as a defense, so why do we allow the courts to use it when we are dealing with child custody. I mean, some women use this as a defense to get the children, and to have control over the father. Sorry ladies, but that is the truth. The weak are being overcome by the strong in some relationships, so the weak fall victims to the courts mercy in a revengeful way that we all know the courts are having more sympathy for the weak. The point is, should we all be subject to mental evaluations and drug test when dealing with the affairs of child custody and child support these are both parents children not just one.

I have heard that the kids should go to the one that is responsible of taking care of the kids. Okay. I have to disagree to a point. If dad is working a Mcdonald's because that is the only job that he can get employment for does that make him any less of a responsible parent. He is paying his child support, so shouldn't he have half of the custodial responsibilities that is given fully to one parent based on the idea that one parent has treated his significant other poorly. Yet he was a good parent to the children. We as Americans must step up to the plate and see that such laws are replaced with reasonable laws that give both parents the responsibility to see and raise their children. The courts are only making money off of child support enforcement by charging interest on back child support. when this money can stay in the households where it belongs, because many non-custodial parents are giving money to the custodial parent on the side and still paying child support.

Okay people, here we go again, I know that some of you have been watching the news, about that millionaire that shot the judge and killed his wife. So my point is do you believe that he was going to lose his children to his wife, only recieving visitation rights? I believe that the current family laws are destroying families with no regard to the fact that women can not have babies by themselves. Even if they were to go to a sperm bank, it still takes the help of a man. So men should get equal custody in the parternal involvement of their children. Men are getting the big stick of the rear, no matter how funky it may sound, the men in the case are not dealing with the issue in a civil manner. Help is needed, because the men are in love just as much with their children as the mother is if not even more. Just like the territorial animals of the jungle the male's are the dominant of protecting the family, and when they feel threaten in their authority they will defend their pride..
