Can an Employer refuse to let you take your medication which is prescribed by a Dr. ? My employeer will not let me take mine, and I think it is affecting my job preformance. I do not know what to do about this. Do I have a leg to stand on so that I can take my meds?

We moved into a new house last week and found we had no hot water. Called out a plumber who found that the boiler was faulty and was leaking carbon momoxide. He said we could have been dead within a week! However, our solicitor's questionnaire contained nothing about the boiler, so do we have any rights? Can we get any compensation or a contribution towards the cost of the new boiler we have had to buy (it cost £1800)? After buying our fisrt home, we have no money left at all and have had to put the cost of the boiler on a credit card.

if you go to a party with your boyfriend and get extremely drunk for the first time, then give consent to sex, is it rape. please take into consideration that this person who got drunk is 16 (and was a virgin at the time) while the boyfriend is 18. she doesnt remember the actually act of sex but she remembers him asking a question (she was too drunk to remember what the question was at the time) she said yes. she remembers speaking with her boyfriend after sex and is not sure if he used any form of protection. he was nice about taking her home as far as she can remember she isnt sure what to think about this situation and im not sure what i should tell her as a conserned family member.

I've heard of over 800 signing statements added by the Presiden when certain bills were signed into law. I was wondering what authority these signing statements had, if any, or if they were simply suggestions for execution. Does the USSC quote signing statements when ruling on a certain law? Does it interfere or weaken the separation of powers?

Being that Artificial Insemination is basically playing g-d, why are they allowed to let this happen to those that can't have children, and it not be considered immoral? Doesn't everything happen for a reason, and a reason these people can't have a child. So why interfer with mother nature?

Okay, I thank you all for answering my previous question. But now I don’t know what to do. I tried to approach my daughter telling her to return what is left from the money and to return things to the store. Her reply was: In your dreams. What would you do?

I respect your opinion if you are against stem-cell research. I may not understand it, but I do respect it. However, I do have a question. If you are against stem-cell research, would you sign this agreement if it was placed in front of you? Don't read into the wording too much, but just experiment with the general idea. Please explain why you would sign this agreement or why not. I'm not trying to insult you guys, I'm just curious.

I, ____________ (your name) hereby promise to forfeit any rights to partake of any medical treatments, cures or therapies that are developed using embrionic parts from an aborted or naturally dead fetus in the event I have or develop a disease. I also forfeit my childrens' right to partake of the same medical treatments, cures or therapies if they develop any diseases.
x_______________ (your signature)

So, would you sign this? I just have the feeling that most conservatives would be first in line for these treatments despite their morality preaching.

Am I the only black person who feels this way? I am very proud of my african ancestors and what they had to endure to bring me into this world. they are a part of my history. but i also have white and native american ancestors. plus, im not africa, you have to go really far back in my family, like more than 200 yrs to find an actual african. i am american. its not like white people are being labeled french-american, euro-american, german-american, etc., unless their parents or grandparents are from that country. otherwise, theyre just called american. why am i so different? i dont know where the origin of the term african-american came from, but it doesnt apply to me.

Directly after you say your oath of enlistment the enlisting officer asks you if your recruiter told you where the unit you joined (Guard) was deploying to. He (frederick.albert.heimstra) had not told the whole truth. Cpt Acosta looked a little distraught over learning this also. I was told that the unit was deploying to Texas for training for appx. 8 months. He failed to mention the one year directly after that. Total we will be deployed for no longer than 730 days. Very little good faith in that. I am prior service and am married to an active duty service member. Just so I can breath a litle easier what information is required to be made known? Thank you for your time.

A judge has ruled that the boy or his parents can't decide. Where are our freedoms going?
I can't believe these judges of today. I remember when I was young the parents always made the decisions for their children. Even when their faith was against blood infusions.
