""A federal judge on Monday granted class action status to tens of millions of "light cigarette" smokers for a potential $200 billion lawsuit against tobacco companies.""

EVERYONE knows that smoking is bad for you, everyone knows that smoking can kill you, everyone knows the effects of smoking. It's shoved in our faces every day. Unless you live under a rock.. YOU KNOW THAT SMOKING IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH... why are they allowed to sue?

My husband got layed off last week and when he called the unemployment agency they said they could not send him any money because his company has never filed his wages (he's been working there over a year and they have no record of him at all). My question is - is this legal? And how do we go about getting his wages reported so that we can collect unemployment while he looks for another job? He called his company already and they said they would look into it - but a while ago, we asked them to send us his w2 forms and they never did (despite he called like once a day) so we aren't sure they will even check.
I'm not sure if it matters but he works for a union as an electrician.

Advice would be much appreciated.

For instance, should the sitter have some form of permission to care for the child in case the child is injured or becomes ill and the parent can not be reached at work. Is there anything the sitter should provide the parent - proof of auto insurance?

In this day and age I see the importance of protecting yourself and the child no matter if you're the parent or the sitter, but I just wondered if there were specifics that one should do.

you have said
healthy people
don´t need health insurances
you are right
also right to say is
that in a society
of the good and proper
we won´t need any jails
nor any police
and no court of justice
no military no weapons
and of course no medicin
and no hospitals
no any help at all
because nothing evil
will happen anyway
so how dumb
do you think
that we are?

that what we say can be used against us in a court of law, after we are given our Miranda rights.. If the right to exercise a freedom is punishable by incarceration, wouldn't the government be punishing us for exercising our right to free speech. (We can't yell fire in a crowded movie. That's a given.)

Where, in the Constitution, does it limit our right to free speech.

Okay, here's the deal... I had a c-section when my son was born. Sometime later I developed a mass in my abdomen near the scar and it's incredibly painful! I finally received a "diagnosis" and the doctor is quite confident that it is an endometrioma and it's there because the doctor that delivered my son, sewed my part of my uterus into the lining of my stomach muscle when he was "closing" me up. (I still have to have corrective surgery to confirm the diagnosis.) If, in fact, this is what happened, I am going to proceed with a malpractice suit. Any ideas as to what is involved, how long it takes, is it worth it, and how much might I expect to get?

This is simply a legality issue. I'm 16 (soon to be 17) and want to know if i can legally leave my house (mom) and live with another person (who is 18). I basically support myself as it is. I have a decent job, and i could afford rent on an apartment. i have a 3.9 gpa (unweighted) and am in honors classes. I hardly see my mom since we both work, but she constantly yells at me and tells me to clean the house that i only use to sleep and shower in.

i seriousy just want to move out, but what would it take to make this legal?

friend signed mother's signature on some of her checks and cashed them at her bank. Mother was aware of it but did nothing about it (like contacting bank, or closing account). This went on for several months. Friend told mother he would pay her back when she discussed it with him. Still she did nothing. After 3rd bank statement cycle (3 months) friends parents filed forgery charges with police and he was arrested. He had previously been authorized to sign her name on numerous occasions. He made the checks out to himself and cashed them at her bank so he wasn't trying to hide it from her because he had been allowed to do this in the past. Most of the money went for buying painting supplies to paint parents house and supplies for his computer that she was aware he needed.

He signed on to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution". Since then, he has:

1) Lied in order to involve us in an illegal and immoral war, and the subsequent occupation of Iraq.
2) Logic dictates that, since #1 is true, he is guilty of the murder of over 2,600 of our own men and women, and 130,000 innocent Iraqis, as well as the mutilation, amputation, and maiming of those who are injured, but still alive.
3) Manipulating and dis-allowing the press to accurately report on the daily horrors of the war and subsequent occupation, including the torture at Abu Graib and the Iraqi civil war that is now responsible for 100 DEATHS PER DAY by "insurgents".
4) Illegal wiretapping of his own citizens.
5) Lying about #4.
6) Re-writing the law to excuse #4.
7) Illegal torture against the Geneva Convention.
8) Lying about #7.
9) Getting his criminal Neo-Con friends to re-write and Amend the Geneva Convention laws so he has an excuse for Gitmo torture.

TRY, NEO-CONS!!!

I was driving along close to vilonia, ar at about 10:45 pm. I had a phone call so i muted my stereo system and was talking on the phone for about 10 mins. I came into vilonia and seen a state trooper car on the left and two cops on the right at a gas station. I reached over and unmuted my stereo, which was loud. I quickly hit the mute button again, and turned my sub volume down and then turned it back on so it would be at a normal level. It was only loud for about 1 or 2 seconds. About a mile down the road a cop pulled me over and told me I was getting a ticket for disorderly conduct. He said if he could here me before he could see me then it was to loud. I looked up the code for disorderly conduct, and i don't believe he that can go towards what i was doing. I'm going to fight the ticket, and was wondering if anyone knew any information that could help me. Thanks.
