In our country 70% of women in rural India are still not aware of legal rights and even today purdha system is existing even near semi-urban areas. A group of professionals - legal professionals, social workers, police officers, teachers, HR Professionals, students, media professionals, child care professionals, elder parents - who are honest and believe in equality and want to end gender discrimination - needs to be created. Their work would be to spread the message of equality in villages, semi-urban and urban areas. Would you like to join one or suggest any thing else that can be done to create this Support Group for Women?

I was just reading the story on Yahoo about how they might grant the "Illegal Immigrants" citizenship. So basically, these people broke the law, and we are going to give them what they want?

What is the message here? Our laws are just a formality and you really don't have to follow them if you don't want. If someone robs a bank are we going to punish him by giving him bags of money?

I am so sick of all of the restrictions and all of the misguided fear. I thought that we would've eventually gotten some of our rights back, but it seems they only ever decrease.

Why are we content to fly barefoot and thirsty? Because of two minor incidents that might have possibly taken out one plane, everyone has to take their shoes off and go without water.

Why are people so easily made scared by a few plane incidents? From the 60's on we were averaging perhaps one terrorist attack on airplanes per year. That's a very very low risk. We face a much more real threat from car accidents, muggings and guns than from any form of terrorism.

And isn't the point of terrorism to make us scared? So hasn't the post 9-11 reaction been the greatest victory they could ever hope to achieve?

And let's face it, another 9-11 could never ever happen. If someone even tried to take over a plane now, all of the passengers would attack.

So when can we please return to normal?

I've been looking into painting murals on walls in private households. A neighbor of mine had mentioned if I could paint Winnie the Pooh or maybe Elmo in his son's room, and that got me to thinking. Since they are copyrighted, would I be sued for making money off of painting a mural of a copyrighted design/character, even if it's not in a public area?

Everyone that has AIDs should automatically beforced to get a tatoo when they are disgnosed at the hospital. the tattoo would say AIDS in big bold letters on their forehead.

This is will prevent them from purposely infecting others.

In Florida, are there any protections to prevent a homeowners association from publicly discussing personal information in their open meetings? For example, disclosing that a specific homeowner is a single parent who works full time, and telling where that person resides.

While the information is true, this disclosure has open the person up to potential targeting by criminals.

Is this a legal issue or merely a moral one? Or are these association members just stupid, which is, regretfully, not a criminal act?

I always joke about how the parking lot is always full on payday. Do you suspect that some people don't work at all except on payday? Maybe we have Ghostpayroller's here at work. Do you think that is the case where you work?

Can an employer give you a check on payday, but tell you that you cant cash it untill he gives you the go ahead? My employer does this at least twice a month, and i need to know if this is a violation of labor codes? Or is this a loop hole becouse you got the check on the established day regardless off when you can cash it?

I recently was fired from my job. My employer did not give me any paperwork to look over, nor did he address the issue that had taken place or confront me about it. Aka: he's a jerk. Anyways, a friend told me that in florida you are supposed to be given some type of paperwork in which you sign or you get some kind of notice. If this is true I didn't get it, so does that mean that I can say I wasn't fired, but just quit?

I need a REAL background check of myself. Not a cheesy online version, but one that includes driving record, employment history, housing history. All of the companies Ive found online to offer the comprehensive check cater only to businesses.

thanks
