He told me that the US department of Justice wrote a report that said that the sex offender registry was put up to keep track of predators. Now, offences like skinny dipping and streaking are regularly put on the registry. Children are rarely involved in most cases. I wonder if the media uses these cases to gain ratings and listeners? I know senators use victims regularly to get reelected. Tell me your thoughts on this. It's a messy situation.

I stayed in my ex-husband's house for 3 weeks to take care of our daughter who is 14 years old. He was pressuring me to get back together with him so I left. I live in another state.

Now, he is claiming that I "stole" things from his house. I only took my personal belongings that were still in the house.

He does not have home insurance on his home. I know that the truth is on my side and I did not take the items he is claiming (money, jewelry, etc).

Can he make up stories and sue me to get the reimbursement for items that he claims that I took? He left me numerous voicemails saying the I was a "thief" and left voicemails at my parents.

He is not the type to keep quiet, so I am wondering what will happen now. He has turned his family against me. His niece used to be my friend on facebook and has now deleted me as a friend.

I am just worried about his next move. Will he sue me?

Last night, a guy came out of no where and screamed at me the way I way parked,cursing and scaring my kids. Saying I dented his car(which I did not) I called the police,they said It was a civil matter-no report and made me exchange insurance. Since then I've had a panic attack and can't seem to stop tears-should I contact a lawyer for harassment ?

I keep getting calls from the same creditor who is looking for someone with the same name as mine, but it's not me. Our birthdates and addresses are different. I've informed the creditor we are not the same people and to not call back, but they continue to call at least 15 times per week. Can I legally sue for harassment?

My sister was recently charged with obstructing justice and the reason is "probable cause" She is an awesome person and has a good job and literally has never done anything to be in trouble in her life. This whole mess has caused her a lot of mental stress and anguish. The police report and the police officers statements conflict a long with the fact that they lied and did not follow procedure. My sister is completely innocent of what she is accused of...they have not one witness to back up their charge. It hurts me to think that they are considering giving her 90 days in jail(can you believe it) So my question is should she sue them? Let me know why or why not? Thanks.

So we all have our opinions weather we smoke or not. People want them to be illegal, and our gov't just keeps taxing the crap out of them to make them less affordable so we'll stop. Here's a thought, why hasn't the gov't stepped in and made illegal all the other crap besides tobacco that get put into them? After all, do you think they would be as much as a health risk if they didn't have all the chemicals the tobacco companies put in there? I don't think they'd be nearly as addictive either.

As you've probably seen in today's headlines, the government is now reporting rampant FBI abuses of the Patriot Act's National Security Letter (NSL) provision that gives agents sweeping powers to demand sensitive personal records without court approval.

The report reveals that, from 2003 to 2005, the government issued a staggering 143,000 National Security Letters, in some cases barring recipients from even reporting they've received a letter. How much more proof does Congress need that this dangerous provision defies democratic values? How many more of us will be investigated and gagged before the FBI is reined in?

There's only one course of action. It is time for Congress to repeal the expanded Patriot Act powers that opened the door to these abuses.

"The Second Amendment would be an inexplicable aberration if it were not read to protect individual rights as well"

I agree. Banning individual gun use is unconstitutional.

All I want from this man is the money i loaned him so he could keep is car from going into repo. I was trying to be a helpful person and this is what I get for it. He has played with me over this now for 7 months. I even told him I would go back to him if just pays me, ya right. I do have things in writing that he owes me the money. If I have to take him to court can I sue for the drama he has put me through to get it? We meet on yahoo personnals as well and he is a used car sales men so he knows how to play people. I however want my money plus I want him to hurt like he has hurt me. Any suggestions I am tired of begging for something that is owed to me and he also needs to learn his lesson about using people.

My sister has been buying a flat, all seemed OK and she has a solicitor with the normal buying fees (about £1000). She has now come across some really big problems with the purchase caused by the vendors.

Firstly they are unwilling to provide insurance on the common shared parts, hallway, roofs etc. Secondly it now turns out that the only access to the flats is built illegally so that you have to cross property not owned by the vendors. The owner of the property not owned by the vendor could easily restrict/block access to her flat.

My sister is a first time buyer and has little money to spare with house prices the way they are, we need her to move out of our house as we are adopting a child.

She obviously can't buy this property now, so should the sellers be liable to pay towards the solicitors costs, seeing as it is their fault she can't buy the flat? It has obviously been mis-represented and doesn't seem very fair. Any advice appreciated.
