i am a high school principal at rosemont high school in california and well i was thinking of a new punishment for kids instead of suspensions... because suspensions just give the kids what they want... well while i was thinking i thought of the best punishment for kids ever!!!! i was thinking the parents of a trouble maker could just send a bunch of clips of them having sex and then we would take those clips and turn it into an hour long movie. then i would force the kid into a room with a projector and force them to watch it(the projector and the speakers would be out of reach of the kid so he couldnt mess with them... this is a great way to get kids to pay attention in class... problem is its not legal!!! how do i make this legal... what would be the steps through the department of education i have to take to get this plan into effect... i think that kids would stop getting in trouble if they were forced to watch their parents having sex....

He apparently had toll violation tickets from four years ago that he didn't know about. THey made no attempt to contact him, and slapped $9,000 worth of fines on what was a $500 ticket.
That's over 1/3 of what he makes in a year. He's tried to negotiate a lower amount with him, and they won't budge. Has anybody had any experience with this and know what we can do? I'm not looking for a lecture, just helpful information. THanks.

my mom took over $1,000 from me to move into another bank thats supposedly for me, which i highly doubt, (if u knew my mom .. u'd know what i was talking about) with out asking my permission bcuz she thought i wouldn't understand it

I asked a family member who recently graduated from law school to review and negotiate a contract for me. She did so. She has not taken the bar exam in her state nor in my state, I signed this contract thinking she was already an attorney simply because she graduated from law school, but now I find out she's not fully an attorney yet.

The law regarding this type of contract states that a attorney is to review it on my behalf, and now the other parties to this contract are refusing to invalidate the contract.


Is she allowed to give me legal advice and help negotiate a contract for me although she may not fully be a lawyer and is that contract valid, now that it has been signed, etc. Or is it no longer enforceable.

Obviously the concept is being discussed in connection with illegal immigration.

But leaving that aside, I'm just wondering if there is a groundswell for amnesty for any other action, or class of people.

Thanks!

Car (after being hit by another car) was totalled after hitting head on with a tree, EMS arrived and treated passengers, describing one as pale and sweating. As they were preparing for the trip to the hospital, the EMS personel asks the injured which hospital to go. Injured responded, "the closest one is better, right?" And they went to the emergency room of closest one. Once there, after 4.5 hours, the pale, sweating passenger needed to be transported to a trauma center which was 30 minutes away. At the trauma center, passenger dies from multiple blunt trauma.

Now, at the scene of the accident where the car was totalled, shouldn't the EMS know to transport the "pale, sweating" passenger to a trauma center that is equiped to handle these types of injuries, instread of wasting away in the hallway on a stretcher of an emergency room waiting to be treated?

This article talks about the FDA's permanent ban on male homosexuals, IV drug users, and those who pay for sex to ever donate blood.
The reasons for this are obvious. However there are advocacy groups calling this discrimination. How could hopefully stopping a possible HIV victim from spreading a deadly disease be discrimination? I've personally known somebody that tested positive for HIV after receiving a blood transfusion. No she wasn't a druggie, she was a 72 year old grandmother for those that want say something stupid.
I could care less what grown people do in their own bedrooms, but calling this discrimination is beyond stupid. We're talking about AID's, not the common cold.

I hope there is a lawyer or police officer on here... A friend of mine at work and her husband (both from Bosnia) own a moving company, 2 trucks and 4 guys. One of the guys was having people make the checks out in his name, $4,500.00 worth of checks. The police retrieved the checks but would not arrest the guy, because he hadn't cashed them. HE STILL STOLD THE CHECKS, HAD THEM MADE OUT IN HIS NAME! Why wouldn't they, or couldn't they arrest him?

My workplace is spread over 4 floors, with me on the second.

There is no fire alarm in the building, and if anyone shouted fire from the ground floor, no one would be able to hear it.

Are my employers breaking any UK rules because of this?

Should I be concerned about the risk?
