Why can some people do the crime but not the time? For example the Latest person, Paris. She was driving drunk and on a suspended license. First it was 45 days, put on hold due to overcrowded jails. Now it is down to 25 days. Woopie, just slap her on her hand and let her go. If the average person did this we would be in jail, overcrowded, or not.
I don't think just because she and others have money they should get off with a slap on the hand. Just watch if she is not careful next she will drive drunk and get either herself or someone else killed.

I was fired a few days ago very suddenly. I have been working for a caregiving company for 2 and a half years now and aside from one write up (for missing a shift) I have been a dedicated employee. I was called into the office on Tuesday and they told me another caregiver had reported that i was on my laptop at work and that my husband was outside waiting for me in the courtyard and for those reasons they were letting me go. They did not write me up for using the laptop (i was told about a year ago that it would be better if i just read a book at work) but a good amount of caregivers use their laptops at work and my client was sound asleep and all the household chores were done. It was the last half hour of my shift and i decided to work on some homework. My husband was waiting for me to get off because we have one car and was in the courtyard of the building (on PUBLIC property) they said that was client confidentiality. Is this grounds for termination after 2 1/2 YEARS??

-and therefore found unConstitutional by Article I Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution? What's your opinion? It seems like it might be, but I'm not sure. In any case it is still socially exceptable, but do you think a line will have to be drawn eventually sometime in the future?

I would say yes, because most people go gambling instead of spending time with family members, gambling can make you end up broke, the more you gamble the more you lose money gain and play again...

Just recently the court agreed the bank charges are the price of the service provided by the bank..which will blow all the customers who intend to reclaim their money for unfair charges. Do you think it's possible for the government to legislate in this context? WHY?

You know i saw something too sad early this morning. A 14 yr old palastine girl asked a question. Pretty brave, but you know i though that she has every right to voice her opinion about terrorism, no different then an american. And you know what happened, she was dogged on so bad. Even after ppl found out she was only 14. Why is it that most americans seem to not have an opinion of their own, they have to go the way of the polls. I feel the way i do now because i do listen to my brother. Yes, by the way i am a born and raised american. Along with my parents. At first i will admitt that i blame all muslims. Until my brother came home for good from the Army, after spending 2 tours in Iraq. He talks so highly of the Iraqi ppl. He is the one, along with many other soldiers, who has said that muslims are good ppl. They are kind and have more manners then we do. He also says that his job there isn't done, and there are more ppl to be saved, and to help. So if he doesn't hate them, why do you

The term, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse", means that you are responsable to comply with the law, even if you do not know that the law exists!
My question is this:
Seeing as how there are hundreds of thousands (millions) of laws in this country (USA), and even Judges, arguably the most knowledgable as far as the law goes, require that precident, and statute be quoted to them, How can it legally be expected for the average person, who has NO contact with the law, theory about the statutes and court rulings, be held to a higher standard than the judges in thier court rooms?
How can the public be expected to know and understand the law when their are so many laws passed constantly and those laws are always written in legalese and are all but unintelligible and purposely written so that the average Joe (or Jane) cannot possibly figure out the meaning?
