I would consider myself to be among those poor. I served in the Marines for 5 years and now live off the GI Bill (for college) and a minimum wage job. It's no one's fault, but mine. There are no big corporations keeping me down. I simply don't have the education needed to land a decent job yet. On the other hand, I also haven't had kids I can't afford, started using drugs, or dropped out of high school. Why should the taxes I pay in the future go towards people who won't help themselves? I know that there are some people who have no choice (disabled, elderly, etc.), but there are also a whole lot of people who are simply lazy. Any money given to the poor should be in the form of job training, not welfare checks. I don't begrudge the rich their money because a lot of them (not all) worked very hard for it. People are poor due to their own choices. If you can convince me otherwise, I would be happy to hear it.

Surely its time to bring back the death sentence for murderers and terrorists and the like?

Why should we have to pay to keep these evil people in relative comfort for the rest of thier days?.

Sold item on ebay and the customer paid through paypal.

The very next day, without time for it to even be shipped, the customer filed a non-delivery claim.

Few days later, because I have 7 days to ship and had been busy, I then logged on and saw his claim and hurried up and shipped it. Since it was over $250 I sent it requiring a signature per Paypal's Seller Protection Policy.

Customer's claim is declined then he files a credit card chargeback so Paypal then freezes the funds back in my Paypal account.

I sent Paypal the shipping tracking #.

Customer emails me. I email customer back the tracking #.

Tracking info says it was attempted delivery once and sitting at the post office waiting for pick up.

Email customer again. Customer emails back that he will pick it up today.

Meanwhile, Paypal settles claim saying non-delivery and I owe him a refund.

So now I owe him a refund and he is picking up the item today...

What can I do?

I emailed Paypal about 20 times mad as hell.

Christian, Chatholic, and other religions are banned from prayer even before school begins, but I saw that during Ramadan Muslim students were permitted to gather and pray in unused class rooms at school. If prayer is to be banned from school then it should not be allowed for muslims either. If they have to pray that badly then they sould remove their children from school during this month. There is not excuse for this kind of double standard. Do you agree? or disagree and why?

After graduation I deserted, and have been living in various countries abroad. A drill instructor was physically abusing some of the recruits and was clearly disciplining certain recruits for reasons which clearly reflected personal spiteful intentions. One recruit, who graduated, was a habitual bed-wetter whom everybody, including the the drill instructors, were aware of. During training the recruits were coerced into lying and not reporting illegal or immoral activities taking place, which had to be reported to both the officers and non-commissioned officers in charge. The senior drill instructor instructed recruits to modify our weapons, by cutting the recoil springs shorter, in order to improve our overall platoon shooting range scores. Modifying federal property is a federal offense, yet our superiors instructed us, as they previously had, to not report such violations. I reported these activities; yet it became clear these issues would be swept under the rug. Do not enlist.

Surely if you aren't doing anything wrong you have no reason to be bothered by it. I don't have a problem with it and would encourage more of the same.

We know it is immoral but is it not illegal to be cruel with
parents-in-laws? Is not discarding oldage people illegal?
Can anybody suggest any Relief?
The son Mr. Kumar working in the city Tranport (a.p.s.r.t.c.)as Driver died of an Electrocution. The Govt & the RTC Authorities were kind enough to grant Ex-gratia paments to the wife. Now The wife and children are getting pension through the EPF. And now she has rejected the parents of her Husband. Is It legal to discard such old people who have lost their only son. It is immoral and against the tenets of DHARMA. But what is the Legal Remedy? Can any body help to answer?
Recently it has come to light that children who neglect their parents are liable for prosecution. Is the same clause not valid for the Daughter-in-Law? Legal experts opinion may be taken and personnel who care social Justice Please answer and help those misarable parents so as to enable me to uplift them.
IN THE INTEREST OF SOCIAL JUSTICE,

I'm talking about unethical lawyers who cross the line & the complaints have to go to a group of lawyers. Judges who show obvious prejudice in their court & the complaints go to a group of judges.

I started a suit several months ago and paid a retainer to an atty. We waited for the other parties to respond to the mediation request and that time has passed. How long should it take to get this thing done? I am in L.A. Since the atty is getting a percentage of the outcome I feel odd pushing him but weeks go by. When I do get a response it is general and there are no objectives posed by him. It is all vauge as to when it will start and end. The suit involves an agent who sold me a multi-unit which was not permitted.
We are suing the seller, title co and broker. Thanks- Rufus

I read somewhere that they were going back to this, but wasn't sure if it's already in action or if it's going into effect at a later date.

I am from NY and I currently go to college in Ohio

I am used to no smoking in bars, clubs, resturants. No smoking anywhere, they even rope off what sections you can smoke when your OUTSIDE, at theme parks. In my mind it's the greatest law ever because smoking in a smoking section in a resturant is like peeing in a pool.

What law ended up getting passed in the state of Ohio?

Can people still smoke in resturant and bars?
Whats the deal

cause this will effect my next 4 years of living here?
