say this person was antagonizing you and threw the first blow. How much can you fight back? For example, a guy comes up to a car window and starts yelling at him to come out. The guy in the car comes out and tries to calm the situation but the antagonizing guy starts throwing punches. Then say the guy being attacked starts fighting back and beats the guy down. Can the guy in the car get in trouble if he were to say.. break the guys face in the process of fighting back? or breaking the antagonizing guys leg or something?

My landlord refused to give me a rent book or set up a direct debit mandate for rent payments. He returned two cheques I sent him. I sent him a solicitors letter stating that I wished to pay the rent and he would be put in funds when I received a rent book. He didn;t reply and then started possession proceedings to evict me on the grounds of rent arrears. I decided to leave the property as I couldn't be bothered going to court etc. He is now pursuing me through the courts for the rent arrears. Can't afford any legal representation. Can he do this? Could I contest on the grounds of estoppel? HELP!!!!!

A little too obvious, don't you think? So how much do you think she'll collect when he dies of this rare untreatable disease Daddy studies? Why hasn't she caught it from him? Does Dad have secret cure/immunization? How & when did he contract such a rare disease? Why is it so rare? Manmade perhaps? Lab created? Too f*cking much! Or is it just a ruse to draw our attention away from a more sinister occurance elsewhere? Like in WA, D.C.? Idiocracy at it's finest working here folks! Enjoy and keep up the good shopping!

The McCann’s are using their undoubted ability to gain publicity which may help find their dear daughter

They are not "Guilty" just because they are smart successful people, some commentators write like jealous losers . Even
top level people like the McCann’s can have a tragedy as we have just seen

Anyone who hates people who have lost a child in this way is a sad case of envy overriding decent behaviour to this unfortunate couple. Some of the comments made against the McCann’s are libellous and warrant legal action. Internet comment can be traced .

I thought it was considered age discrimination if you weren't admitted but you were of legal drinking age. Some bars/clubs/taverns here say you have to be anywhere from 23-40 to get in.

I am a care worker. most mornings I have to drive to visit people who need help to live independant lives. They may need important medication, some need help getting on the right bus to take them to their day care centers, many need us to drive us to their centers etc as public transport is really not an option for them. we perform a vital role yet our pay is terrible. all of these people we work with live in the proposed congestion charge area and my collegues and I simply will not be able to pay the high charges every day. will we have to pay?

My neighbor cut my lawn without asking. He cut it shorter than i like it so it would match his lawn. I like my grass longer, i have a lawn service that takes care of the grass and i have no weeds or dandelions...just nice green grass. I feel violated and i don't want it to happen again. Most discussions i have come across talk about the neighbor that totally lets their lawn go and is a huge eyesore....i am not that person. I just like my grass longer - it turns yellow and burns if it gets cut too short. What do i do? Isn't this considered trespassing? I think pushing his standards on me is wrong and seems like legally i should have something to protect me.

I am new so please bear with me. I was promoted at work about a week ago and have done a week's training. I had switched departments and had some time scheduled off in my department. I gave them my notice of time off and was confronted about it. They told me that in my position there can never be 2 people gone at the same time. When I asked "what if 2 were sick" they said it can't happen. I was also told that I "might" not have been considered for the promotion if they knew I had time I wanted off. Not only this (was with the president and HR person in the company) but the other employee who had the time off sat in on all of this being nosey. I had accepted the job offer never knowing that it would be that hard to have any flexibility for vacations but knowing that they are already treating me wrong telling me how I "might" not have been promoted and allowing a stranger to sit in on a HR/Preside meeting rubbed me the wrong way. Just curious what should I do?

I'm getting yes and no answers from everyone. I'm on probation and I know if I fail the drug test, my probation will be revoked. But if alcohol gets out of your system according to how much you drink, can I get away with drinking a beer or two with my dinner? Maybe 1 or 2 at a bar when my drugtest is like 10 days away. Should I? Other people I know that are on probation tell me they still drink up until a few days before they get tested. I know the consequences, but I can get away with a few now and then. HELP!!!

What is the thing that will get you arrested in Texas for doing that starts with the letter "A"?
It has something to do with divorce or splitting up I think.

Do Employers have the right to change the pay-day without notice? I was wondering because yesterday was my pay-day, yet when i went to pick up my check, I was told that We weren't getting paid til Mondays now. . . . . . . . Here's the thing, the paychecks are in the safe at work. The manager and assistant manager got their paychecks and have cashed them, yet the rest of us can't get ours til Monday. . . . Is there anything i can do about this? This is BULL CRAP!

My mother was threatened at work twice and wants a protective order. Both times she called the police and they arrested the guy. The company didn't do/say anything to the guy and the manager said she can not get a restraining order without his permission because they work together. Is this true and is it wrong that the company did not do anything to this employee?
