What kind and how did you prove it? How do you really know if you're being discriminated against when it comes to being "let go".

There is a girl who has been carrying a personal vendetta against a friend of mine for over a year now. She accuses him of stuff all the time, to the point that he has been to court over her allegations. Yesterday she accused him of giving her an illegal substance (Ecstasy) at their high school and he has been suspended from school for 10 days. The facts: he wasn't at school that day. In fact, he wasn't even in the city at the time. Yet the school doesn't seem to care. In fact, the school hasn't even bothered to get the police involved in this.

This is going on his school record and it's WRONG. What can he do? This is in Ontario, Canada, by the way.

Here's what I don't understand. The government punishes people for someone right? If someone goes and kills another person, the United States government will punish them according to what type of it was. So what's the difference with abortion? A child, whether it's still int he mother's womb or not, is still a human being! Within just a couple days of conception, human organs start growing, and in under a month, you have a complete human being. It's still to kill a baby, I just don't see how people don't see that. A BABY IS A PERSON TO!

We added my daughter to our policy a month or two ago and then I lost my job this month and wanted to temporarily take my daughter off of the newly implemented policy and go back to the old one. When I asked the GEICO representative on the phone if it was possible to go back to my old policy, she said she would check with her supervisor -- a few mins later she came back and say "sorry, no - because once your daughter got her license she is required by VIRGINIA LAW to get coverage".

So I asked, "does that mean I'm screwed" -- literally I asked that question and you know what she said ?

"That's right sir"...

...I think I'll be looking for a new insurance company tomorrow morning.

PLEASE LET EVERYONE KNOW GEICO USES BAIT AND SWITCH TECHNIQUES TO KEEP CUSTOMERS LOCKED INTO EXPENSIVE CONTRACTS WITH THEM.

I have medications that didn't work out for me... I get migraines & depression, and they have tested me on certain drugs-that just didn't work right. Most the medications, I have bought with my own money (with insurance) and then, I have SAMPLE packs given to my by the doctor.

I have them stored up in my house because I can not bear to throw them away knowing that so MANY people can not afford to pay for prescriptions, yet I am pretty sure I can not advertise them for someone to take-- b/c they are prescription and I am not a doctor.... Is there any place that take donations of that sort? I have blood pressure medication, medication that treats depression, and medications that treat seizures... They are all still "good", as I am STILL in the process of finding the right combo. It sucks to just throw them away, I know people struggle to pay for these EXACT medications. Just curious, if anyone had a suggestion.

In October 1999, a white man named Troy Knapp was attacked by a mob of black men wielding pipes and trash cans, while riding his bike with a companion in Charleston, SC. Knapp was beaten so severely that part of his skull and brain had to be removed, leaving him barely functional.

Witnesses told Knapp's family that after white police officers arrested a black suspect in connection with the shootings, someone in a group of people was heard saying: "Yeah, we are going to get us a white boy." Seventeen suspects were arrested and charged with second-degree lynching. However, local prosecutor David Schwacke commented, "We haven't been able to establish hate as a motive."

According to a Fox News report, Schwacke, "acknowledged that if it had been 17 white suspects and two black victims, hate would more likely be considered a motive." The report went on to note that, "Federal hate-crime law could apply in this case, but seven months after the incident the U.S. attorney's office in South Carolina is not even considering charges."



Many incidents that are virtually ideantical to this have occured across the country. It is time to end the discrimination. If we are all equal, then we should all be treated equally. You can see that Hate crimes against whites are not being filed as such. As the article mentioned, if it were a white on black crime, hate would have been considered as a motive. And 9 and a half chances out of 10 the courts would have said hate was the motive. We need to stand up against this discrimination against white Americans.

I have had a cat scan and my Dr will not release the results to me, even when I personally request them WITH identification. Do I have any course of action against him, when the office claims the only way they will release them is if I schedule an appointment, and pay for another visit. I do not WANT another visit, I just want my test results!

My moms boyfriend called the better business bureo, and they said that they havent had any bad reports from them within the last three years. But they cant find a phone number for them.

My mom said that they must not be open on weekends or late at night, because when the call the phone just rings and rings. ANNND its not in the directory. I guess he needs it bc hes got bad credit.

I am getting really annoyed by our condo association. They do not clean our hallways and the carpeting needs to be replaced. I wrote to the manager at least six times, and she just keeps telling me that "we just hired a new cleaning company." I am actually ashamed of the conditions that our hallway is in. Can I take them to court, so that they can get the judge's order to clean the hallways? Is there anything I can do. Please help!

For at least the last 20 years our society has been aware that we, humankind, might have been having a negative impact on our environment through our carbon emissions and the destruction of natural habitats.

Very early on, the debate fractured into two camps, those for whom it was obvious that there was a problem and that this problem could only get worse and the consequences intensify the longer we left it to act; and those for whom nothing but absolute proof would be good enough to convince them that there was a problem in the first instance, before any action could or should be taken.

Despite the enormity of the task and the incredible complexity of the problem that faced them, the scientifc community has over the last two decades invested huge amounts of manhours in data gathering and computational modelling capability to derive an unambiguous conclusion - there is a problem, we are to blame and we have to act quickly or we face horrendous consequences if we do not.

(please don't link me to a .pdf or something, copy the info for me if its possible) Thanks
Additional Details

I'm mostly worried because it can lead to death in some cases, so I'm not taking it too lightly. So any help would be great.

We ordered food from a convenience store on Monday night. My husband ate his steak sub and i ate a chicken sub (both contained mayo). He went to work that night and was sent to the hospital because he could not stop vomiting. He was given IV's and meds to help with the cramping/dehydration/nausea. Is there anything that we can do about this legally? I did not get sick, which leads me to believe that it was the steak that was contaminated. The only other thing that he ate was a cinnamon roll very early that morning.......

can i do anything to recover the lost wages and possibly the hospital bill? His insurance has not taken effect yet...
