If a thief was to forcefully enter my home at night, become caught in the act and then act in a threatening manner towards myself/family would it be right for me to use force to defend my home? Even if that meant his death?

I filed a claim on someone that I purchased a car from because he did not provide the title to the car so I returned the car and he said he would give me my money back and he never did, all I have is the Bill of sale and the reciept that has the date I returned the car, the type of car and how much I had bought the car for along with the sellers address and phone number it also says i returned the car. When I filed the claim on him the clerk said that he had several cases on the same issue and not all were settled I also went to the police department and they said he had a criminal history of arsenic and his son also had a criminal history. What else should I come up with to win my case?

oh, more room! Last week I got a Jury Duty notice with my address, but some guy's name. Today I got an ITT Tech flyer with my address, but some OTHER guy's name. Should I fear identity theft in any way? No one would be playing a trick on me.

Is there a copyright law that prohibits stores from giving customers refunds for DVDs they have purchased and that have been opened (presumably because they could have made copies of the disc)? If so, does it apply if the DVD is faulty?

Clinton is a lawyer he knows the law. Technically he only had intimate contact with her but that can still transmit STDs.
At that time President Clinton was going after Microsoft for being a monopoly and Microsoft bought up the defunct NBC bankrupt network then began going after Clinton with the news and often even presented lies to get to him.

MSNBC has had a motto on their newscasts that say steal their lunch and eat it at times.

Somehow they left out the fact that the ugly woman Paula Jones did the whole town, did it on a pool table in front of everyone, that she got a bust job, a nose job, braces, a total cosmetic redo, new outfits in order to make her convincing and people still looked at her to say I do not believe Clinton went after her she is too uuugggllly...oh she also did porns with her husband but MSNBC only said she was the daughter of a preacher..like that works the preachers son I know is now an alcoholic and ex drug addict
do you pay attention to the news at all

Do couples who live together but are NOT of the same sex get the same rights or do heterosexual couples have to marry first before they get those rights? Just wondering.

I've been looking into this, and I've always found that a landlord is responsible for ensuring their property is lead-free. If they don't, you can sue
them for damages, and to get them to remove or render safeish the lead on the property. Either lead in soil, paint, whatever.
So suppose you're father makes you live in a house that's all lead paint. And makes you strip lead paint indoors, with a propane torch during his JMTKDI(Just make the kiddies do it) rennovations. And they get lead poisoning their whole life as a result.

Shouldn't you be able to sue him for damages? How's that LESS bad( I think it's much worse) than a landlord? In the literature describing the hazard posed by lead paint, it is repeatedly stated that houses with lead are inherently unsafe, unreasonably unsuitable homes. I think parents should be required by law to provide a remotely reasonable environment. What do you think? And if they are, and their kids can't sue them, who would? They're who get hurt.

I am a preschool teacher in CA. My employer wants all the teachers to take CPR/first aid training. We did this 2 years ago, so I guess this is to renew it. Anyhow - this is an 8 hour course done on a saturday after completing a 40 hour work week, or over two evenings, 4 hours each, emidately after completing an 8 hour work day. Is this legal to require us to do this for free!? Shouldn't we not only be getting paid, but recieving overtime? And what about travel expenses if we have to drive further for this training? Does anyone know where I can find legal documention to prove my case? Thanks! I didn't question doing this for free last time (probably because I was a new hire), but I don't want to do it again!

My state of Illinois requires everyone to take daily P.E. in high school. Since I have to take P.E., I am not able to take more electives that interest me. So my problem is that I am stuck in gym doing absolutley nothing like everyone else in the class when I could be learning something. Also, since Illinois has one of the highest fat people populations this gym thing isn't even working, so why can't they just make it only a 1 or 2 year requirement? Are there any ways to get out of gym.
