It is now evident that after Jessica lal case judgement, Ram Jethmalani appeared for accused only for money, even the world know what happened in that case. But he was once in cabinet minister for law. Did he do anything for indian judiciary and people. Has he any moral face? Even the accused was convicted, he will be laughing all the way to the bank.

There is a girl who is making statements that I am in trouble for credit card fraud with my business; which is absolutely untrue. She is making these statements at her job which is a store infront of several people including my current clients and potential clients. I've had these people call me up and ask me if this is true. I am having to defend my name and my business. I am an indepedent owner in a home party lingerie business. She is a gossip monger. I just want her to shut her mouth. Should I talk to her boss? Is there something else I can do?

Why is it classified as an illegal narcotic? Alcohol is so much worse for a person, physiologically, psychologically, and in the long run, financially, as well. History reports that alcohol prohibitioin was a failure. Isn't it obvious to the law makers that their current prohibition of marijuana is a monumental failure, as well? And if so, why doesn't anyone have the balls to do someting about it before more innocent people are put in jail with murderers and rapists? Maybe the lawmakers are too busy raping their own pages to notice...

I think we shouldn't have the death penalty because,
1. Statistically It does not prevent or deter serious crime.
2. We abolished it in this country because we decided the state should not take life. Reintating it would be a cultural step backwards.
3. We can never be 100% guilt. The list of people convicted of crimes that would have had the death penalty that were later found innocent is huge. (Birmingham 6 for example) If we send just one innocent person to there deaths, this would be a travesty.
4. WHY should a killer get away with such a light punishment such as death. A few minutes of suffering while a death sentence is carried out and then "escape" is not an adequate punishment. This is highlighted by Ian Brady's appeal to the court of human rights to be given permission to starve himself to death because he sees it as a better option than life in prison. He was refused.

Whats your view?

Do u all consider texting a girl cheating? My bf finally came back from out of town. He is always talking about how she is nice. Everything was good until he kept texting some girl. He said that the girl is like one of the guys. But I don't care. We can't even go shopping and he is texting her. He wished her a happy b-day even when i did not want him to. Everything she does she has to let him know. When I text him he dosen't text me back that much or that fast. When I did that at the beginning of our relationship he did not like that so I stopped completely b/c je did not like it. Now he is saying that it is ok. No, how I see it, it starts with text messaging, phone calls, sneaking around etc, plus the woman is married. They met at their trainning camp, He let me look at the text messaging, But when he got back all this incoming and outgoing text were deleted, what you all think about that? I told him if he text this girl or call her then we are done!!

If an incident occured, and you want to sue someone for it, how much time do you have to open a lawsuit? What if something occured in the past, and you only found out about it recently, would I still be able to sue the guilty party?

My fiance and I planned a child and shortly before the wedding we broke up. Im pregnant with a baby due in April, he has given up his £65,000 a year job and sold his house. I have no idea where he is and he say he will not pay child support. Do you think the CSA will catch him? Is there a minimum he has to pay, (Im not sure he would be entitled to benefits), what if he goes abroad?

Should I write to the CSA and tell him this is his intentions or should I just wait and see when the baby comes. It is not the money that is the issue even if he paid £5 a per week it would show they had caught him and he has to acknowledge some degree of responsibility. If he lives of the money of the sale of the house for a while am I entitled to anything, I am under the impression he intends to live of the assests.

The forms I've found on the internet and the phila.gov website for ordering Notes of Testimony are geared toward criminal defendants, which is not relevant for my purposes. Is there a separate form to fill out and where do I get it?

I have 3 people in the room with 3 differnt positions on this.
One says the death penalty is the only suitable punishment...............................................................................................

The second person says (and this is not me saying this),
"in one fell swoop he did his bit for
the prevention of Aids, decreased the funding sent to organized crime
from drugs, took 5 mingers out of our site and saved the public benefit
system 5 flats and 5x the state benefit. Unless I'm missing something, shouldn't we be giving him a medal or something"................................................................................................

And I say the death penalty is way too good and is just a easy way out that means he will never suffer much unlike the familys of those he's killed. I say we lock him in a cell for the rest of his life with a 22 stone homo rapist and a life time supply of Viagra.

Who's view do you agree with?

The Minister of Culture, Tessa Jowell, seems perfectly happy for the TV license to double in cost in the next 5 years. Yet, according to independent surveys, the vast majority of license payers think that the cost is already extortionate. My question is: Should politicians that do not represent our best interests* stay in office? After all isn't that their job?
*It is not in our best interests too pay whopping wages to the BBC executive or waste money on racist crap like the Eurovision Song Contest.

I believe that most people that monitor Yahoo Answers seem to favor the Republican party. They seem to me to TOS people that speak against the Republicans illegal immoral acts. Should good Americans continue to hold stock in Yahoo or should we sell our stock at the open of the stock market in a few hours?
