OK, I have a good friend who got pulled over after a Christmas party and got a DUI. This is his first offense, and yes,he knows he did something wrong and feels more terrible than any of you could make him feel. So now he is facing being without his license for 6 months...He drives a long way to work and has children as well.

Has anyone been in this situation before that can give good advice about how to proceed? No stupid answers please-I will only ignore them.

The "War on Drugs" is obviously a losing battle. Like it or not, illegal drugs are out there. Because of the fact that they are illegal, there are people illegally selling them. If there was no need to buy and sell these drugs illegally, perhaps there would be no need for much of the violence and the crowded prisons. Plus, government regulated drugs (like marijuana) could generate literally billions in tax revenue. This money could be spend on real problems like the healthcare crisis that we are facing here in this country. Anyway, what are your thoughts?

Britain does not want "hate-mongers" -- people coming to live in the country must conform to its tolerant values, Prime Minister Tony Blair said.

Immigrants wanting to live in Britain will have to pass an English test and ethnic or religious groups seeking government grants will have to show they promote integration, Blair said.

There was no question of Britain allowing the introduction of religious law, he said.

According to media reports, some minority groups have their own courts in Britain, ruling on divorce and disputes between neighbours and there is even reported to be an unofficial Somali court in London dealing with criminal matters.

"We must demand allegiance to the rule of law," Blair said.

To combat forced marriages, the government will consult on raising the age for people entering Britain to get married above the current minimum of 18, he said.

Britain is reassessing its attitude to racial and religious minorities following last year's bombings when four British Islamists blew up 52 people on London transport.

The government has cracked down on radical Islamic preachers who it says inspire suicide bombers. But it fears that growing segregation of ethnic minorities has made it easier for radical ideas to take hold.

Does this not need converting to Law?
Does this not send a clear signal to the Islamic extremist immigrant?
What plans are in place to prevent backlash from the affected communities?

i've had to stop using Ebay due to my being locked out of my Paypal acc as i forgotten my password, and subsequently have been asked to verify (by fax or post) my ID using various forms of ID such as passport, credit card, bill birth cert. i've been defrauded before with my ID, and it has left me feeling very wary of anyone asking for my ID in this manner, esp. when i do not know whether they adhere to the DOA policy in their company.

When the judge sentenced my friend, she stated that he would get credit for time off of his house arrest for time that was spent in county jail. However, the time is not credited, and there is nothing in the sentencing record. A lawyer told us it would cost $500 to file a form to get this fixed. Since it's their fault for not following their own instructions, why should we have to pay? Is there something else we can do to get this fixed without spending hundreds of dollars?

The military tests for drugs. The airlines does. Law enforcement tests. Why not the politicians, including the president? Why should they be exempt? I would have physicians drawn randomly and the sample tested in front of multiple witnesses. After all, these people work for us,

Ever get an e-mail stating that you have randomly been chosen from 50,000 emails? Of course you have to pay out a substantial amount to recieve it. What a scam....this can't be legal.

Again, do they really deserve it? Wouldn't you think that their present pay, plus all of the bribes and perks they receive, would be enough? And also remember they have a special retirement program, not social security like most of the rest of us are required by law to have.

is it right that a “Black Police Association” can exist. When a “White Police Association” would almost certainly be banned?

I was in a car accident on 11/21. I was injured and taking percocet, flexeril and naproxen inhibiting my abilities to drive and work. I was under doctor's excuses from 11/21 - 12/2. My boss elected to take my vacation away in December to make up for the days missed that were not excused by doctors (3 total, not 5).

I ended up getting fired on the 4th after requesting a family medical leave. I was a dedicated employee and planned on staying at my job until I was at least finsihed with college.

What I don't understand is how an employer can fire someone from being injured in a car accident an unable to come to work due to pain and discomfort along with being on narcotics to releive the pain!

Help!

A boyfriend broke into a girlfriend's apartment because he was worried about her pregnancy, drinking, and state of mind. The couple agreed to meet to dicuss having the baby. The agreement was made three days previous to meet on this Saturday (the day of the break-in). The girlfriend did not show up to the meeting, and did not return messages of concern from the boyfriend. After the break-in, the girlfriend told the police that the boyfriend was abusive in the past, and was worried that he broke in to harm her - a lie out of the girlfriends anger. The boyfriend never touched her, much less attempt to harm her. The boyfriend is erroneously charged with burglary with intent to harm. Later, she admits in court under oath that she lied about the abuse. She admitted to making a false report under oath. She also signed an affidavit of nonprosecution. Is there grounds for dismissal of the case due to the chief complaintants admisssion of making a false statement?
