I live in India. I had a neo rich billionaires' telenet connection. They disabled my service alleging that I have not made payment in time. I made the payment in time and I have the Bank statement to support my claim. Through wrong means they have manipulated my later bills. I made the payment and requested for a credit note for the excess amount they have charged. They have sent me another manipulated bill, which is incorrect. The company is very clever because they do not put anything in writing fearing that I will go to the consumer court. I request you to guide me whether I can approach a consumer court based on the above deficiency in service. I have only their E-mails in support for their gross inefficiency, unethical business practices and deficiency in service. Disgusted by their services I have ended up their service. Should I pay a manipulated bill? Please advise!

Suppose 'some' man wants to lodge a complaint of 'some' case of bribery which happened 2 yrs back.
And this man was eye witness of that case of bribery happened 2 yrs back.
The amount of money what 'some' accused accepted from 'some' person in that case was too small to create any disproportion in his property , inside his known source of income.
There was not any criminal misconduct.
Now that accused has stopped demanding and accepting bribe from 1 year.....Means now he can't be catched RED HANDED.
Will A.C.B. deny to take this complaint ?
Is it impossible now to punish that accused for the bribery, which he demanded & accepted 2 yrs back IN SUCH CASE , in INDIA?

Because of my occupation, I consider the world to be my home. One thing I hear over and over again by Americans or on American media is how war has given Americans their freedom.

I have lived in many places on this globe and have found that those countries who are not proactive in war generally have just as much freedom. America is not the only free country and a country doesn't necessarily have to engage in war to be free.

If you can peg anything dealing with life on 'Pro-Life', can we peg everything that’s related to choice on 'Pro-Choice'? We could add on racism, prostitutes, pedophilia, clothes! Clothes would go over well! My God, then we'd really be FREE! Isn't that what you want!?

Oh, no, now you can't pick on conservatives with assault weapons because that’s their choice, and yup, you gotta release all those pedophile priests from prison because it's their choice to fondle little billy. Oh SNAP! He just called that black guy N***** on the radio! Too bad you can't fire him, it's his choice to say that.

Everything is a 'choice', that doesn't mean its a good idea! Me saying pedophilia should be a choice for each person to decide for themselves is just as stupid as you saying that abortion(killing innocent human life forms) should be a choice for each person to decide for themselves.

The Medicaid reimbursement of nursing homes is much lower that of other sources of payment. Nursing homes get paid two or three times as much for a Medicare or a private pay patient. Why wouldn't this provide an incentive for developing creative ways to get certain patients to die faster?

The mantra is that the nursing home is the cigar and cigarette smoker's home ....But it is the administration which decides to place the smokers in close proximity to the sickest patients, who cannot object. If thiis treatment causes helpless patients to die of of pneumonia and circulatory failure, nursing home regulators still say it is not abuse.

My friend is renting from this guy who is her landlord. He has a property manager for the property. This man and the property manager told her that he wanted to visit the home once a year. He came to vissit which wasn't a big deal.But he did not tell her he wanted to take pictures in the home. When he was doing it she asked why and he said they were just for himself. She asked why didn't he atake the pictures before she moved in but he did not answer her. So she is very uncomfortable. Because it just seemed strange. He also ask a lock box on her front door and she asked the property manager to remove it six times and still no one came to remove it. So it seems weird to all of us that have been talking about this situation.
What do you think?

U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Harlan Fiske Stone wrote, "The Jehovah's Witnesses ought to have an endowment in view of the aid which they give in solving the legal problems of civil liberties."

In the United States numerous cases involving Jehovah's Witnesses are now landmark decisions of First Amendment law. In all, Jehovah's Witnesses brought 23 separate First Amendment actions before the U.S. Supreme Court between 1938 and 1946.

The most important U.S. Supreme Court legal victory won by the Witnesses was in the case West Virginia State Board of Education vs. Barnette, in which the court ruled that school children could not be forced to pledge allegiance to or salute the U.S. flag. The Barnette decision overturned an earlier case, Minersville School District vs. Gobitis (1940), in which the court had held that Witnesses could be forced against their will to pay homage to the flag.

The fighting words doctrine was established by Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942). In that case, a Jehovah's Witness had reportedly told a New Hampshire town marshal who was attempting to prevent him from preaching "You are a God-damned racketeer" and "a damned fascist" and was arrested. The court upheld the arrest, thus establishing that "insulting or 'fighting words', those that by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace" are among the "well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech [which] the prevention and punishment of...have never been thought to raise any constitutional problem."

In a more recent case, Jehovah's Witnesses refused to get government permits to solicit door-to-door in Stratton, Ohio. In 2002, the case was heard in the U.S. Supreme Court (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society v. Village of Stratton). The Court ruled in favor of the Jehovah's Witnesses, ensuring the freedom of all to go door-to-door without obtaining permits.

I am on Direct Deposit through my workplace. Not due to any actions or inactions on my part, my check didn't get deposited and because of that I have accrued multiple NSF charges. Legally, is there anyway I could get those penalties back from my employer?

I was relocated 3 months ago. The agreement was if I were to leave the company within the 1st yr. I had to reimburse for relo. costs. If they closed down, laid me off, etc. they were responsible for moving me home again. Do I have any recourse if they go back on this agreement. It was verbal, unfortunately, because the owner's word is stronger than paper!

My question is to those who believe that the Second Amendment allows all person's the right to own and carry a gun WITHOUT restriction. Are you against those restrictions and exceptions that have been made in regards to the other amendments (restrictions on hate and obscene speech, exceptions to search and seizure, etc.)

It makes no sense to me. I'm against the death penalty, but how can someone defend a criminal who murdered someone over a innocent helpless child that wants nothing more than to have a chance in this world? Does this make sense to anyone!? To me it seems that democrats would rather protect the guilty than the innocent. I just don't understand the logic here...

I have just consulted a friend in law enforcement about a case regarding my stepson (14 years old) and him using 40 fake (counterfeit) bus tickets that were used to go and come back from school. The value in all was $60. According to her, this is a class c felony in my state (utter forgery). However, when I asked about the possible punishment, i didn't receive much of an answer because she said that she wouldn't hazard a guess. This is his first offense and he is pretty much a good student (straight A's normally). And he is remorseful. He was caught by a bus driver using them 2 months ago (of course, i didn't out until weeks later), so i don't know whether charges were pressed. There were survelliance cameras on the bus (so they will most likely identify him) and not to mention his fingerprints. What are his chances of being sent to a juvenile detention center or probation? He is planning of pleading guilty, but i think its best that we consult an attorney. thnx
