Grafitti is a crime and NOT protected under the 1st Amendment. What makes them think they can spraypaint historic US landmarks?

Shouldn't the anti-war hippies be beaten and jailed like anyone else who breaks the law?

Should we make it compulsory for 16-18 yr olds to spend 12 months doing military service? Would this instill more discipline into the youth of today and make them identify more with the country they live in?

We all agree now that the Crusades were wrong, to fight to force your religion on someone else isn't right. In a few hundred years will we look back and admit how wrong it was to go to war in Iraq?

Any insight or advice based on fact would be appreciated. I have written about this before but now things are changing. I have been sentenced to "supervisory treatment" but I don't live in the state where I was sentenced. I have spoken to 2 lawyers, friends of the family that are cops, and even other people in the probation office. They all say I am being pushed around by these probation officers. The P.O. told me that I had to report to see him. I drove 400 miles and took 2 days off from work to be there only to be kept waiting and ignored for 2 hrs. The P.O. wasn't even there that day and I was finally told he wouldn't be back for another 3 weeks.(took vacation). I have asked several times to have my "treatment" moved to my local probation office in my home state so that I can comply and make the appearances. These people have refused and say there is no way to get it transfered. Is this true? Or am I being lied to and bullied by these people? I'm told that I cant be extradited.

DCS drug tested my sister-in-law and her ex-husband who are in a custody battle for thier 2 kids. Both of them failed the drug test for multiple drugs, and needless to say neither of them got the kids (thank god) the kids are safe now with grandparents and everything, but my question is: my sister in law who failed the drug test for DCS is on house arrest probation for a drug felony, can DCS tell her probation officer about the results? or is the drug test confidential since her probation officer didn't personally administer it? beleive me, i'd like to see her locked up or in rehab, im just not sure what all DCS is allowed to do regarding the test results.

I went to a local Bar/restaurant in Pittsford, NY. I was having wine and ordered soup through my waitresses. While waiting I asked my waitress to put bubble on two ladies in the bar. While they were in process of accepting my offer, the owner of restaurant came and asked me to leave.

Then I asked why? He said, " I am making ladies in restaurant uncomfortable." I insisted, " " Waitress is talking right now to them ". I did not even approach them. They are in process of considering my offer" He insisted that I should leave immidiately. In the meantime waitress brought soup.

I said to him, " This is not fair". His response was " Life is not fair.' I told him That I was going to complain police. His response was, I know them all; and go ahead. But step out of his facility.

So, frusured, I went out and from curb, I call 911. two officers came and asked me " What happened". I told him. Then He went inside and interview few people.

I've heard arnold schwarchennegar has signed a bill that went into effect on Jan 1, 2007 deeming it illegal to leave your dog in a car even if the windows are cracked. I heard this may only be in the summer months. Does anyone know if this has went into effect? If so can you provide a link I can give to my supervisor. Someone has parked their vehicle in our parking lot and their dog is in the car. The window is cracked a tiny bit but I think she is planning to leave the dog in there for a couple of hours. My supervisor can't do anything unless it is illegal. Thank you...I feel sorry for the poor dog.

I just found out this year that I have a daughter who is 5 years old. Her mother wants me to pay child support but never see her. I want to see my daughter. I want to be apart of her life. I know in my state (nebraska) The statute has already past but my lawyer said that she made fraudulent efforts to hide the baby from. She also never marked a fathers name on the birth certificate. Am I doing the right thing or am I going to hurt this little girl. The mother is single. I however am married and have a 5 year old step son. She says I am a bad person but not once in my life have I ever been arrested for anything. I just don't want to hurt this girl or my family in any way. Does it mean anything that she never put a father on the birth certifiacate?

thanks

I'm a dual UK-USA citizen and am curious to know how one can go about changing one's name. I have an American and a British passport. I know that theoretically, all Americans have the right to change their names at will, and in England common law allows you to adopt whatever name you want whenever you want, but what about the practical details? Is it possible to go by one name as a British citizen and another as an American? or does one have to change one's name in both countries at the same time? How does one go about changing passports, etc. I'm not necessarily going to do this. I'm just very interested to know how this is done at the present time.
