I bought the computer on credit and ran into financial problems my cousin said that she would take the computer and take over the payments. In the last year she has paid nothing but interest and has missed the last two payments. I told her I wanted it back because she wasn't keeping up with the payments and it's still in my name. She says that I can't have it back until I pay her the amount she's paid on it for the last year. There is no written agreement. What can I legally do to either get my name off the account or get the computer back. I live in Wisconsin.

I see movies on tv all the time that have bad words censored, like "Next Friday", but show other scenes that could be viewed as just as bad as a profane word (such as a fight where one guy has blood on his face in the movie "Next Friday") . I want to know how this happens. And how , whoever censors these movies, do they get around the first amendment? Because I just heard of "clean flicks" , a company who censors movies so they are fit for "the whole family" , being shut down for censoring people's movies. What are the laws behind these situations? I have to do a speech on media censorship, and want to make sure I know about all the major laws and arguements that can be brought up in this subject.

Is this covering your democratic backside? Admitting you believe the man was guilty? Or business as usual ? Read all the information and give a thoughtful answer no partisan BS.

Critics pointed out that he had been impeached when he was a federal judge and said naming him to such a sensitive post would be a mistake just as the Democrats take over House control pledging reforms.

Hastings, who came to Congress in 1992, was charged in an FBI bribery sting but acquitted by a federal jury in 1983.
In 1997, the Justice Department found an agent had falsely testified against Hastings, but no action was taken to reopen his case.
In 2000, Democrats passed over another member of the Congressional Black Caucus Rep. Sanford Bishop for the senior Democratic spot on the intelligence panel.

As a Republican I am confused. Can someone give me honest facts on this issue?

ok about half a year ago the police took my dad to jail for somethin he didn't do (we already got that setteld and we went to court and won) but the police knew that my mom was at work and they were going to take my dad to jail for the night. so they left 3 kids at night with no parent. ( i was 13, my brother was 14, and my sister was 7 at the time.) Don't u think they should of sent us to somewhere like a relitive or something. but they just left. Don't u think they should get charged with somethin. i mean u can't leave a child at home alone until they r 18 right?

I saw a cartoon once that if you want to see the world fly by you, drive at the speed limit. That I have found to be indeed true. I have never passed (overtaken) a single car when I drive at 55 mph. Elsewhere I have also read that it is better to merge with the traffic instead of being a laggard; which is obvious from the many a sighting of the disruption in the flow of traffic on a freeway caused by a lone slow-moving vehicle. Therein lies the rub. When everyone else is driving above 60 mph on a freeway with 55 mph limit, what should be the morally-sound behavior; obey the legal limit and thereby cause traffic disruptions with the resultant increase in the chances of an accident or just simply violate the law to not cause such a harm.

For excluding me from registering there because it's for blacks only. I feel that I'm being denied because I'm white. Or does it only work when it's flipped and blacks are the ones excluded?

My husband has a client who makes $23,000 a month.
He owes the IRS $130,000 for earnings close to $1,000,000 since 2001.
He seems to think that a jury will understand that he just can't pay his taxes, because he went through a messy divorce.
This is the 3rd time the IRS has levied on him which means that this time they will start criminal proceedings against him, unless he pays up NOW.
OK, so if you were the jury in a trial for tax evasion, based on the information I just gave you, would you vote guilty, or not guilty?
If you can give your reasons for your vote, that would be great!
We are trying to give him a wake-up call, and I will show him your answers.
Thank you so much!

i would have to say i'm pro choice but within boundaries. i think there are extenuating circumstances where it's completely allowable. however, i believe that women who use abortion as a form of birth control should be charged with negligence. i also think that men(they can have opinion but i don't think they should weigh in heavily on it as they don't know what a woman goes through) and religion should stay out of it. this is just my honest opinion so don't bite my head off please, i respect your opinion as well. thanks =)

My kids school will allow Native American religious beliefs in the school play, and Kwanza, and Muslim but wont allow the mention of Jesus birth or anything even eluding to the true meaning of Christmas. Even the word has Christ in it. I understand this "offends" some people's rights but what about the rights of Christians? It "offends" me that my Christian daughter cant even celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ at her school but Mohammed and The Great Spirit can be by others because its their cultural right to do so. This is crap. We are European and my family have been Christians for 1000 years. What about our cultural heritage?
