Cult film from 1966. But the Good, played by Clint Eastward was no goody, He de frauded the US government of bounty money, assisted the escape of convicted murderers on numerous occasions, murdered umpteen baddies, impersonated a soldier, and in the end stole US army payrole gold. Without declaring it.
So why is the naughty character so loved by the public? and why was the film such a big hit in its day? does the film Glorify Crime?

I'm a fairly decent guy, who made one mistake - a DUI (1 beer + 1 week before my 21st birthday + busted taillight getting me pulled over = me bent over the DA's desk). I have been trying to piece my life back together, since the great state of Calf***meover has seen fit to tear it apart over this mistake.
I have my licenses to transact life insurance and property & casualty insurance, and these licenses were difficult and expensive to come by, and also required the DOJ to do a background check which determined that my DUI had nothing to do with dishonesty, so its not a problem.
Except that it IS a problem. Because nobody will hire me, since I have a record (the conviction is more than a year old, even).
My question is, does anyone out there know if there is something I can do to survive these background checks? I haven't had a job for two months, and I don't qualify for welfare (I'm not a minority person, even though whites are the minority here).
I really need some advice. Thanks.

California law

2007-02-16 09:07:52 · 2 answers · asked by Elizabeth D 1

He wants to visit with our children ages 11 and under. The law will allow him because he is the biological father.

This law in California is messed. I feel as he is getting awarded.
I have been sacrificing my heart for my children, and our counseling sessions have really helped. The law says is better that the children have a fatherly influence.

The declaration he submitted thur the court is so twisted and distorted with more than half lies. That shows to me that if he is that twisted and manipulating, that he is dangerous.

He works thur manipulation.

Is there anyway that I can win this case?I do not want my children with him.

Can the law make an exception, not only that but the law is wrong!

If I sue for $1000, and the defendants countersues for $500, and both of us win the claims...will the judge take my judgement of $1000, minus the defendants's judgement of $500, and award me for $500? And if that is the case, will my credit report show that I have a judgement against me for $500, and that it has been paid?

I also understand that sometimes, the judge will issue as two seperate judgements, and I will have to pay them $500, and they pay me $1000.

If they are defending themselves and killing U.S. troops in their home country..why are they considered to be the aggressor and we just defending himself. Can a burglar claim self defense if he broke in your house and you attacked him to get him to flea??

You are pulled over for windows being too tinted and you act nervous when the officer asks to see your license, reg., etc. Is that probable cause for the officer to search your car for narcotics or call in the dogs?

ok, here's the deal.

My step-cousin is 15 years old and has just had a baby. The father is 18 years old. They've being togethor a while and are still togethor. The sex leading to the pregnancy was consented by both of them, but the fact is that one was under the age of consent and the other wasn't.

I'm just wondering the law regarding this and why social services or other authorities haven't recommended prosecution. I'm studying Law as I hope to pursue a career in Law but we've not studied this, and when my mum asked me why they haven't taken legal action I said it's more than likely because the sex was consented to by both of the people and so it isn't in the "public interest" for the CPS to prosecute.

This is in the UK btw, I'm just wondering whether I was correct in saying the father isn't being prosecuted because it isn't in the public interest or due to another reason.

Cheers.

My ex-wife has reported me as violating the restraining order she had against me on my custody days. She has informed our son's schools that I am not allowed to be involved with his schooling. She has denied me custody. She has lied to mediators about when she is available to care for our son. I want to attain her past work schedule to prove she was at work when she told the mediators she was available to care for our son. My business was destroyed as a result of responding to her incessant complaints and responding to the criminal court when the city attorney sought to prosecute me for allegedly violating restraining orders. Somehow my ex got the city attorney to pursue an alleged violation of a restraining order she said her husband had against me but there is no such order. Sloppy courts and justice system have tangled me up in legal bs and helped my delinquent ex harass me. How do I make the company she works for turn over her work history? Can I sue for emotional distress?

My boyfriend and I want to rent an apartment together, but the company we want to rent from says because we are students and in a college borough, we can't unless we're married. Is this for real or what? We're BOTH over 21 and have jobs. We are not full time students. Is this illegal?

He was trying to get people to sign up for Verizon TV and internet. I was all for it, but I just don't give out personal information (SS#, credit card number) to solicitors.

He says that I won't get all the promotions if i don't sign up through him. I said that all he had was a jacket and a bad looking nametag - he didn;t have a business card. Still, I was pretty sure he was legit, but I don't take chances.

So what should i do? I won't sign up if i don't get the free installation and free month. It seems that people who keep important personal information safe are penalized.

The people that are REALLY upset about the HPV Vaccine SCAM are the ones who have AWARENESS of the INSIDIOUS connection between vaccines and certain people getting VERY rich...and those people who are willing to READ and research and CONNECT THE DOTS will grow increasingly furious that all this is being done RIGHT under our little noses.
The rest of the masses go about their daily loves being docile and subservient to the corporate machine, running around in FEAR and getting their vaccines and allowing OTHERS to pass LAWS that take away our very rights as human beings.....such as the right NOT to get vaccines at all. This is the bleak reality we are facing if WE don't take the necessary steps to put these people out of office and re-claim our freedom of choice!

My aunt lives in a county in the state of North Carolina where everyone names are published in the local newspaper if their property taxes aren't paid by a certain date in March. Tax Office use to do this in April. Many of these people are not behind on their property payments, but just havent paid them yet. Isn't this method of public humiliation breaking these citizens privacy rights I dont know of any other county that use such method to try and make people paid their taxes in a timely matter. Yes, they do add late fees as well, she says. That is understandable. But to send an exposed card in the US mail stating that if property owner(s) doesnt pay by such and such date their names and what taxes they own will be published in the local newspaper seems illegal. Is this county breaking the law? What are the citizens rights when it comes to the law of property tax protection?


*Please note that this question is NOT about foreclosure on owner's property because of non-paying taxes.
