I rented ahouse for 2 yrs I moved out because my landlord was really mean to me when my husband was not at home.When I moved in I signed a 1 yr lease and he told me to hang as much stuff on the walls as I wanted because he was going to have to paint when I moved out.He would show up all the time with no notice to go through the house and during the summer he would come and hook up my water hose and water his plants for 1 and a half hours a week even though I was the one paying the water bill. One day he came over and was being an *** so I told him we were moving and he said ok so 4 days later I moved.The day we moved I cleaned the house and mowed the yard.Now he is threatning to take me to court.He kept my $400 deposit and says I owe him $317 he is charging me $97 for paint and $200 for labor for painting and cleaning I don't think I should have to pay because the house c=was clean when I left and he said when I moved in he was going to paint when I left anyway.

This is an ex boyfriend and he has a warrant out for his arrest.
1. Should I report him to the sheriff or to the probation office if I see that he has an arrest warrant for the above charges? I have a restraining order against him. I would like to see him do a long jail time for once.
2. How much time in jail will he receive in California for the above offenses? He has had prior offenses for petty theft, assault, lewd conduct, dui, etc. He always seems to get away with it. I want some severe jail time for this man. Nothing ever happens to him. He has warrants out for his arrest and I want to see justice for once on this man. Any help is appreciated. I found this info on the sheriff's page in orange county, CA and he should be put in jail.

If I force others to do what I think is right, do I not also have the responsibility to help out those who's lives are changed because of my " belief " that I am right?
Can I force a change in others moral ideas and not be responsible for them when my forced oppinion is placed on them?
Where is the responsibility?

Get this - just read in the paper that the guy who bought my car used stolen money to pay for it! Bought it the morning after a break in. He paid cash - I didn't sell for a huge amount - $2800 - so I didn't think anything of his paying cash. Never met the guy before and never saw him again after. Can I be charged with anything or would I have to pay the money back for the car?? What a shock it was when I read the paper this morning!

This is obviously a very big issue. I believe that it s wrong to forcefully attempt to control another persons body against their wishes. However, I can not say weither the fetus is a seperate body, in which case the woman has no right to destroy it, or if t is part of the womans body, in which case the government has no right to control her. I'm not intrested in the doctrines comming from any kind of church. I just want to hear pure, logic based, legally submissable evidence to mach opinions to help me make a discission.

The First Amendment guarantees the freedom of worship, of speech, of the press, of assembly, and of petition to the government for redress of grievances. This amendment has been the center of controversy in recent years in the areas of free speech and religion. The Supreme Court has held that freedom of speech does not include the right to refuse to testify before a Congressional investigating committee and that most organized prayer in the public schools violates the First Amendment
