Ok, I've asked three questions, all asking opinions on government interference with child rearing. A vast majority believe that spanking should be up to a parent, and that obesity should be government monitored... So, does that mean that the U.S. should deem child obesity as neglect or abuse? Should there be laws in place which make it a crime, much like abuse, if your child is overweight?

My brother and I had a video game bet where the loser had to sign a contract that stated that the other person was incredibly skilled all supreme ect.


This is my side of the story. Right before I was going to sign the contract I changed a word to make it read "Caleb is not all supreme." I asked him if this was the contract I should sign, and he said yes, so I signed the contract. He realized his mistake, and scribbled out the "not." The contract now reads "Caleb is (not scribbled out) all supreme."


Here is his side of the story,
I was writing the contract in pen, and messed up a word, so I crossed it out. Now 4 hours after he signed the contract he comes to me and says, "You scribbled on the contract after I signed it." This is comepletly not true!!!!!!!!!!


What is the status of this contract in court? Does a new contract need to be writen up or is how it stands now legal? If I had proof that he scribbled out part of this contract what would be the legal standin

How do you prevent a former subcontractor photographer from using photos of your child to promote their new photography business without parental consent? This individual was a subcontractor for a modeling agency- we signed release to the agency, not her. She was fired for bad conduct. She has a history of having deviant and sexually explicit photos on her websites, and often works for gay magazines. I dont want my childs photos used by her to promote her business, but she says she can & there's nothing i can do about it since she was the "artist" Do i have any rights as a mom here ?

With the government banning smoking in public places and companies stopping their employees from smoking at work is there any point in the government legalising cannabis? It could be used for medical purposes but if you can only smoke at home is it relevant anymore?

So, my situation is, I'm 19, unemployed and rent at my parents house... I have my own car which I pay for and again, I pay my own rent and everything. Anyway, since I've been unemployed for a month and a half and have only received one check for $207... I've been pretty damn broke recently so I decided I should go apply for food stamps... well, since I'm younger than 22 and live in my parents home (I PAY RENT) I do not qualify! I've worked since I was 16 years old and have always been a responsible person! How could this happen? The woman who helped me said there was nothing she could do... doesn't that seem like a lie? I've seen many people abuse the system and I'm truely someone who needs this and should be entitles to the help since I am a US citizen!

Hi, i have an online shop where i only accepted credit because i have a credit processor. How ever a custom asked if i could take a check. Now i dont normally allow checks but i did this one. They have sent me the check and right away i felt it was fishy so i took it to the bank for them to take a look at it. I have never had a check processed before so i wanted to be safe. No items have been shipped to them. So i have no loss. The bank agreed it was fake and they have a copy. I am taking the original to the police tommorrow what items would i need to take. Should i bring the emails that the "customer" sent and would it cost me for the report? also the bank told me to send an email to them telling them their products have been shipped to see what they say and i did that. was that wrong?

I dont know much about the radar detectors in cars that consumers can buy or if they are accurate but why is it legal in most states. Im going to assume they work. Why would the government make it legal for a driver to likes to speed be able to have a device that decreases the chance of getting a ticket. Sooner or later wont this speeding driver cause a damage to society of himself.
