I am a model, & a few years ago the photographer who did my portfolio set up a website for me. I paid for it but he registered in his name, & did not include the purchase of my site on my invoice. 1 yr ago I contacted him to ask him to transfer the registration into my name. It was very difficult to get him to do this. 1st he told me that he couldn't, & then said he asked someone & it would cost me $200. My brother then contacted him as he works in the IT field, & the photographer then agreed to put it in my name. He emailed me telling me it was now in my name, & then stopped hosting it. I have recently decided to put it back up, only to discover he did not transfer it into my name at all. The domain name was due for renewal on 10th Feb, so I put my name down to purchase it when it became available. It has now past the 10th Feb and the photographer has re-registered it until 2008. The site is not even up & running, & he has no connection to it. Surely he is not allowed to use my name?

In Aug.'05, my hubby was recieving unemployment checks (he was honorably d/c from the Navy). The 1st check he got, the bank would not cash it, but referred us 2 a local check cashing rinky dink place so we got it cashed there...cool...now,
Friday 2/9, I recieved a letter from this rinky dink place after a whole year and a half talkin about my hubby owes money for a loan and had our OLD address but tracked our new one....they were threatening 2 take the car!!!! My hubby had 2 fly home from Baltimore on business and go down 2 this place and see what was going on (I was freakin out)...turns out, that one of the stupid employees sat up there & slapped his old file on a guy who had the same first & last name he had & gave him a loan. The guy was white (my hubby is black), the loan used the guys car as collateral (a Oldsmobile, we have a Maxima, the only car we have). They didn't ask 4 ID on this guy or anything..Do we have a case?I'm in Nashville,TN....this is ridiculous!

Even if you have no say what so ever in whether a child is to be born or not?
What rights does a man as a father have anymore ?????
Right to Abortion is a woman right becuse its her body nobody denies that but why is the decesion of the woman forced on the male?
Feminists and women alike say a couple of sperms dont make any differenece in bearing a child so why do we have to pay the price for something we have no say in what so ever???
Surely these so called respectable women of the society are not attaching a price value for services rendered ???or are they , then in that case what is the difference between them and the street prostitute.
There is one with prostitutes there are no liabliites but with these male blood suckers its a way of life.
Wake up brothers before these lorena bobbitts make you Mr.Bobbitts.

If there is something we can do for our country without even contributing a penny its just a noble thought.I believe if we raise our own morale by pledging to ourselves that we will never adopt to unfair means our goal is achieved,nothing can stop us from seeing a metamorphised nation.

Betting goes on and it is not worth the effort and resources we spent to satisfy our irrational moral pretentions. We have to fight more dangerous evils prevailing in the society, where we are not successful.

I was just wondering if it makes any sence to anyone why it's $1,000.00 fine for littering and only a $250.00 fine for running a red light.I live in Bay Area,California and here red light runners are an epidemic.When the light turns green we have to wait for at least 3 or 4 cars to clear the intersection before we can go.Also when I stop as the light turns yellow I run the risk of being rear ended by someone who wants to run the light.By the way this has already happened to me and the guy said it was my fault because eventhough the light was red he said there weren't any cars comming.Shouldn't the penalty for running a red light at least cost as much as littering?How can we change the law to make it cost more for red light offenders?It is really,really bad here and something has to be done about it.Any suggestions?

I am completely appalled at the actions of these two boys. Can you imagine what sick, twisted minds they must have to do this to a puppy? What do you think about their punishment.

*For those of you who do not want to read the article, a 17 and 19 year old boy duck taped the puppy's mouth, covered him in paint, stuck him in the oven LIVE and cooked the puppy to death. They were sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Why can't africa spend billions of dollors over their budget to start helping the poor and dying up on their feet. And yet america can spend hundreds of billions on a war. When does debt of a country matter? Also why does a province like for ex: Alberta in Canada sit on 8 billion dollors, what do they do with it, isnt it insane?

Two nights ago, myself and two girlfriends were driving home from a club. Suddenly this male pulled up beside us at a redlight, with nothing on his upper body except a black bra. He smiled and drove beside us for a few blocks and then turned. My Question is: at the time we found this amusing (he was cute...lol) and harmless. But as we drove further we second guessed ourselves. Should we have yelled at him or tried to get his license number for the cops? And further more, was he really breaking any laws? I mean it sounds stupid at first, but I don't know if there is a law that prevents men from wearing a bra. If we are wrong on the legal issue than maybe others will benefit from your responses.
