I am Macedonian born in Croatia .My mother is Croatian and by law I have the right to get a Croatian citizenship.I applied for one at the embassy in Skopje two years ago and still havent got an answer.Three months ago I was asked to provide an official document from the time before Croatia became indipendant that's before 1989 in which it is stated that I by nationality was Croatian which is funny because at that time Croatia was a part of Former Yugoslavia and most of the people were Yugoslav.Can anybody tell me if there is a higher international court where I can claim my rights?

I work at Jewel and I would like to know the law regarding liqour sales. I want to know if you have to card everybody in the same party that looks under 30 or do you just have to card the person actually buying the liqour. Lets say if their are three people together in line and I ask just the person paid, can I get in trouble if the other person is underage and gets caught outside my store and he happens to be underage. Their are cameras above each register to record each transaction, so would they look at the cameras to see I carded the one that I was buying. If a decoy comes in, how do they go about doing it. Do they buy it and then your busted to selling for underage, or the they test secound party sales as well. Like selling it to the person buying, then they give it to the younger person. I tried asking and knowone seems to know the rules. Some people say yes and some people say know.

The question is not about right to life as most people would think. It is about freedom of choice. A woman has a right to choose what to do with her body as the law stands now. Basically translated to mean that a woman has the right to determine whether or not she will be a parent. Why doesn't a man have that same choice?

A man and a woman both seniors in college pre-law or pre-med, not that it should matter but it does to many, decide to go on a date. Did they both have a choice? Yes, otherwise, it would be considered kidnapping.

As the date progresses, they both decide to have sex. Did they both have a choice? Yes, otherwise, it would be considered rape.

As precautious people they both decide to use contraception in some form, again both making a choice. However, the contraception fails. What happens to choice here?

The woman can have the child, give the child up for adoption, abort the child. What choice does the man have, whatever the court dictates. Choice? ah.. No!

I brought Antivirus/Firewall software & ever since installing the Laptop crashed & rebooted itself
The frequency of this varied, sometimes worked for 12 hours, other times rebooted 8+ times in 20minutes!
Supplier said 'they only sell the software' & 'to talk to the distributor', who claimed it was a 'common problem' that would be fixed by uninstalling & reinstalling it, making sure it fully updates.
Did this 4 times it still occurred so they told me to contact the Software Development Company, who told me they have 'never had the problem before' then almost instantly sent a step by step solution
Tried that twice, no success so they suggested repeating it in safe mode & only partially reinstalling again in safe mode, tried 3 times
This still did not resolve the problem
The supplier is now offering a refund but what about compensation for the inconvenience that this has caused
I have lost several days working time due to this, numerous files & a client, due to delays this caused

Take a drug addict for instance...
Its so much cheaper to put him/her on a rehabilitation scheme that to lock em up.
And you might say it doesnt achieve any but for many people neither does prison

The goverment is slowly, but steadily: taking us to illegal wars, taking away our fredoms, tracking us, and putting armed plice on the street with orders to "shoot to kill".
They don't listen to us.

When is the time to step away from the keyboard, step up to the plate and take appropriate action in the only way they seem to understand?

WIll you be ready? Will you be there? Do you want to die on your feet for freedom? Or live forever on your knees?

Are there any laws that prohibit him from profitting on this book? Can the contents of the book be used to prove he did it, and is there any way he can still be prosecuted for anything? I know the double jeapardy law, but is there any lesser crime that he could still be charged with?

I purchased a food processor via an auction in ebay, which was described BNIB(brand new in box) and its condition was described as NEW. I received the item minus 2 of the standard accessories (circular blades). I am thinking of taking ebay and paypal to the small claims court for being an agent to selling goods not as described.

I was on a private road just cruzing and I got stopped by a police officer. He pulled me over and asked me if I was with the other guys. I don't know who the "other guys" are and I said no and told him I didn't know who he was talking about and I was just driving down the road.

He then asked me if I minded if he searched my car. I politely told him that I would mind and that I do not consent to a search. He then said, "to bad, your on private property". He made me get out of my car and proceeded to search my car.

Since I was honestly just checking out the road, the search came out clean. He then told me that I could get going and reminded me the road was private.

I was just wondering. Was his actions proper and legal or did I really have the right to deny the search?

I recently had my auto repo'd and inside were my passport and some other important paperwork. Can a finance company hold these items? I have tried to contact them and they are unwilling to give me any info as if they are holding them ransom.

Amendment XIV:

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

what i really want to know is: can they put someone to death, who is not at war nor with miltary nor comitted a violent crime? if they are not a U.S. citizen?





having asked that... The 14th amendment clearly states u are not a citizen if the United States of America until birth, this means that unborn children are NOT U.S. citizens, does the U.S. have jurisdiction over non U.S. citizens?

What should I do... hire a lawyer from long-distance, fly back at vast expense, or just ignore it? I wrote a letter to the judge explaining the situation, but he says he can't continue the case until I go back as scheduled in 4 months. God knows what happens if I'm sentenced to a driving school, probation, etc.
An arrest warrant could make it hard for me to come and go from the USA, and I'm not interested in being a fugitive!
Help!

Weve been here for over 3 yrs. Dwnstrs neighbors moved in 2 mos ago. Her complaint was our noise. We make every effort to remain quiet but with the cheap building we're in, you can hear us just walking around or my little boy rolling toy cars on the kitchen floor. We dont play loud music or the like. Just basic everyday noise. She can hear everything, but thats not our fault. Granted, w/ my kids being on vacation this wk, they are up very late at night. But she can hear them walking around. Shes gone so far as to say she had to sleep in her car (lie) and even said shes heard my older sons beating my youngest (bigger lie).
Im so stressed and now we got a 30 day to move. My Q is, is there any state law (California) that can help me out? Does she have to prove Im making noise? How am I supposed to live if I gotta tip toe around in my own home?
Please, I already know how it 'should' be. I need actual legal advice.
Thank you in advance.
