All my life, people have been calling me a Paki, even as a child I was beaten up day after day at school being continuously called "Paki".
What can we do to fight racism? It's not fair because we're all human!

I am fed up with seeing young people walking around like zombies because politicians have failed to recognise the fact that skunk is not the same as the pot they used to smoke when they were growing up. Also some adults who take it cannot see the harm not realising that a childs developing brain is a lot more succeptiable to hallucigenic afects than adults. A lot of the violence i encounter in my youth work is brought on paronoia from skunk taking.
Please research this as a matter of urgency for all our childrens sakes, do not allow a smaall minority of money grabbing paracites to control our childrens minds.

I recently got married, and pregnant several months later and my husband is in the service. My first childs father has proved paternity several years ago, but has not been in contact with us since november of 2005. He was ordered to pay child support but does not. I do not, nor does child support enforcement have any contact information on my childs biological father. I current live in wisconsin and we are trying to get on base housing in north carolina where he is stationed. Can i move out of state with my child without informing her biological father first?

Okay here's the deal

Background: I'm a college student who registered for a summer class in my home town (different from where I regularly attend). However, I changed my mind about it and called the college (I was out of town with no access to the internet), and told the person I was talking to the situation. She said okay and that she will withdraw me from the class. After this I was good.... I thought.

So about 10 months after this I received a call from a debt collector saying I owe about $600 to the college. The issue is out of the college's hands and I have to talk to the debt collectors. I told them what happened... they didn't care. They keep calling me trying to collect the money. I don't know what to do. They threatened me with damaging my credit score and placing a hold on my records in my current college.

I really have had enough of them. All they want is the $600 from me, they really dont care about anything else.

Just recently I was at Sears department stores and was apprehended for shoplifting by Mesa PD. I was seen on camera concealing an item and was approached by security as i was hiding in a clothing rack with said item. They did not identify themselves as store security and one man said "GET THE **** OUT OF THERE!" At this point I was slow to move and was then grabbed by a man and his colleague. I was then in a grapple between two men and myselft as they were trying to apprehend me. One guy has my arm and the other is trying to twist my arm behind my back to handcuff me and I am resisting. I proceeded to bite one after warning them both that if they did not let go that i would bite the one in front of my face. The other whom I did not bite proceeded to punch me in the back of the head as hard as he could 3 times. By now they had one of my hands in cuffs and a third man came up and proceeded to beat the metal of my cuffed wrist. I think that they lacked training and were excessive,

When you take out some aspects of politics I feel like you Reps/cons have no basis for some of your ideas. Example: Gay marriage. How do you rationalize depriving a group of people the same rights that you have, based soley on their sexual orientation, and do you not agree that that is outright discrimination? You make grand statements about "the institution of marriage", etc, but marriage is a right that you're barring fom gays. Most of your absurd arguments on this go back to Adam and Eve, and it pisses me off when u bring religion into politics, especially since they weren't even married.
So please don't give me dismally idiotic statements like "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve", or I will lose even more respect for you like I did for a kid at camp who said that to me. And don't think you're being clever if you are the idiot who does what I told you not to.

How do you justify positions like this? How do you justify not allowing gays to marry?

By the way, I'm 15 n strate

Ok,me and my friends were in an alleyway of a building and my friend was smoking pot. So We walk out along with a few girls laughing and an undercover car comes by. They get out of the car (three people with badges and a gun), and come towards us slowly telling us to stop walking. They smell pot and right away tell us to get against the wall while they frisked us. They checked absolutely everything, it was cold. They didn’t let us go and threatened to send us to Rutgers Island. They double questioned us..... They tried to look for the joint… It was funny. I started talking to him and about his personal life... We did not have anything on us illegal. I was wondering what did the cops violate and what could they done by the law? Were they messing with us in the first place? Please everything is welcome; i want to know my rights.
Thank you.

BTW me and my friends have clean records and none of us ever did anything. THIS HAPPENED IN BROOKLYN Née

She has struggled to live and has had no maintenance assistance from her kids who were more than able to provide for her but did not want to due to their own selfish ways. Her husband has a farm that she now toils alone. Before the husband died he would tell her often that all his property will be hers if he were to die. The kids have never been interested in the farm, until that is they hear rumors that it is worth a lot of money. Now they want to claim their share according to Hindu Act and want their mother to sell the land so they can profit from it. There was no will by her husband, the father, but at the time of his death noone wanted a share and only the mother's name was registered as owner of farm. She has another small piece of land that has little value and a house of little value. Both were in her husband's name until he died. None of the kids want to claim a share of this property since there is little to be gained for themselves.

What rights does the mother have?

For example, if there's an 8.5" by 11" paper with font 7 posted in the hallway of a dorm, is it considered a legal notice which would be considered proper notification of a certain dorm rule?

Or, if one hasn't signed a sheet saying he or she has reviewed or agreed to a certain rule, how could they be held against a person if not clearly posted (e.g. via a large poster in the lobby numbered 1, 2, 3, etc.)?

Furthermore, common sense would seem to dictate that posting 500 words or so in tiny font is extremely unlikely to be read and therefore should not be considered public notice. Common sense would similarly seem to dictate a minimum font size that can be easily read by the vast majority of the population, in order for a notice on the wall to be considered legal. I really don't know anything about the laws on this matter.

I guess the question is, "Which public notices are people legally required to be aware of?" or "How are these determined?"

Thanks

Thanks to everyone who responded to my parental rights question-your insight was very helpful-so much so that I would like some help with something else- I am an assistant at a group home for mentally disabled adults. A few months ago, a client of mine attacked me, held me down, fondled me, and told me I was his and he loved me-Since then he has said he dreams about me nightly. I know this is a risk I take by working in this field-HOWEVER- I do not feel safe being in the same room with this particular client anymore. Now, the company is telling me that they believe the client has some guilt and sexual issues with me JUST being in the house and if the situation doesnt get resolved, I will be forced to transfer to another home almost an hour from where I live and if I refuse, they said I will be terminated. What are my legal rights here-?after all I was the victim and in no way did anything wrong. Can they really fire me if the client doesn't come around? Thanks so much for your advice

I'm not talking about small claims, I'm talking about civil. I mean if someone tries to sue you and they've got a weak case but deep pockets so they hire a lawyer. If you do your research and you're smart, can you defend yourself successfully? I've heard someone say, well, you can't do surgery unless you're a doctor and you can't win a court case unless you're an attorney. But I've heard the same sort of analogies made about car repair. And I've done alright working on my own vehicle.

A friend of mine came back from class a few days ago to find his doorknob unlocked, though nothing was stolen. A couple of days later, the R.A.'s found a box of wine in the refrigerator (he's over 21, but not everyone in his wing is); but how did they know it was there? Their story is that the fridge was open, so they saw it. I say that's a ridiculous story because no one I know leaves the fridge door open while they're out.

Students had the impression that R.A.'s could enter a room and look around but not look through belongings or open things. I spoke with two of the three R.A.'s who entered the room, and they cannot verify the other R.A.'s story (who happens to dislike the resident) that the refrigerator was open already, so she could see the box of wine.

Our friend today voiced his desire to sue for illegal search and seizure . Later, when he returned from class, his door was wide open . Since nothing was stolen, we think it was the R.A.'s screwing around. Is this legal?
