DH and I are in our 30's and DH mother died 12 years ago. BIL stayed with the man she was married to because he did not want to submit to DNA and family was told that OK law stated he was the father bc he resided with the mother and son for two years and did not have to DNA test. Fast forward to now and 14 year old wants to leave his father and live with us, can the 14 year old decide who to live with? We are contacting a lawyer, but with the holidays and state lines to consider(we live in Missouri)we aren't getting much from the lawyers for now.

5 bulgarian nurses and a bulgarian doctor have been sentenced to death for purposely infecting over 400 small children with HIV. the EU and the US are both condemning libya for being "too harsh" and saying the death penalty is "unwarranted."

in my personal opinion, i cannot think of another crime MORE deserving of the death penalty.

what do you think?

(note: nothing would make me happier than to find out it was all an accident, and these nurses did NOT do this on purpose. i hate to think there are people capable of such a horror. so, i am NOT debating whether they are guilty or not. what i am asking is, if they DID do this, do you feel they deserve to die?)

What did James Madison mean when he wrote his document, now considered to be part of our Bill of Rights? Was it to keep the Church out of Government, or the Government out of the Church?

My wife and I have separated. We are currently living apart from each other. We are not "legally separated". So there is no agreement between us regarding health insurance. She is employed full-time and I have been covered under her health plan. Recently, she cancelled my health insurance that she receives through her employer. I had heard that this is illegal. In other words, I was told that a spouse cannot remove the other spouse from his or her health insurance until there is a divorce. However, when I called the insurance company, I was told that she had removed me during "open enrollment" and that she is legally allowed to do so during that time. I am disabled and would suffer greatly if I lose my health coverage. Is what she did legal?

As a person that just never found interest in alcohol why should i not prefer a country with prohibition being the law of the land.
From what i have read we have been misled by the 20's prohibition as being a failure. It really meant that hospitals had empty beds cause liquor puts people there and on OUR roads it would be great as a non-drinker to not fear you drunk drivers.

so.. does it make sense for me to be PRO prohibition?

I am disabled and cannot drive. I pay most of my nills via bill pay on line...but I have times I need to mail my mail the old fashiond way. Have I been taking for granted that the mail person is supposed (I thought...) to pick up and deliver mail?
If this practice is still being used, (you know... like with the little red flag indicating outgoing mail) my mailbox is a small lockbox type deal, with about 40 others all around it,on the wall. We don't have any red flags, and I've tried to catch the mailperson, to no avale, because it nhot the same carrier everyday. Is there some sort of regulation requiring availabilty on the property, so we can mail our letters? As a homeowner,do I have some way to feel sure, say....that my Medical Insurance Premium is not stolen, but secure with the post person? and I will not lose coverage because of of a late payment? I'm really concerned about this. I have contacted the prop. mgmt. company and they said I should get someone to do it for me. HA!

Recently, a Comcast subcontractor cable guy killed two women (allegedly) while on routine installation calls. Of course the cable guy will be prosecuted, but is Comcast in any way responsible LEGALLY, either criminally or civil? I'm asking strictly about what the law says, not personal opinion.

I keep on reading more and more about how underage drinking is a big problem in this country. However on a night out recently, all of my group were aged between 24 and 28 i.e 6-10 years older than the legal age, and all of us got asked for id to proove we were over 18 during the night out. Further to that, I know plenty of people in their mid-late 20s who still get asked. Yet these same places are known to be serving 16 year olds. I admit I was once an underage drinker myself but that begs the question how did I manage to get a drink in the pub when I was 15 but could have potentially been refused had I got no ID now. In addition, i never got asked for ID when I was 18,19 or 20(I wanted to because I could proove my age by then)then since turning 21 it has started happening.On that basis and from personal experience,are they just cracking down on people blatently old enough and letting the younsters in on purpose or do pub workers really think 20 somthings look younger than 16 year olds

A burglar broke into a home, through a skylight, above the kitchen. He landed on the island where the elderly lady had a knife and injured himself. I heard this story as if it was a court case that went to trial where the burglar brought suit and won for personal injury. I'm looking for documentation as to it's validity or accuracy. I've checked snopes.com and run web searches to no avail. If you have resourceful information please advise.

I am 18, and I still live with my mother. She has a problem with the places I want to go and when I want to go sometimes. I am just trying to make sure that she has no power over these things. She only has power over what I do in her house and whether I can live with her or not, right?
