This question also applies to renters I want to rent apartments to...Why should I have to answer to anyone? For godsakes, I do not owe anything to anyone aside from the people that I rent to....."I don't like your shoes" would be a suitable answer to people I deny...What the hell gives the State the authority to say what/who I employ for whatever reason?

I agreed to 4 years with my company if they paid for school. The company now sold my division to another company. The initial agreement was made because I was told I could go anywhere in the company. Now I am stuck with my division, with a new company owner I would not have signed with. Do I have a case?

My wife works in the mental health field. She was hospitalized and missed work for a bit. She returned and her employer said if she worked in a different capacity (half salary position) and for a month without missing any days she would be reinstated back to her old position. She transports DD clients to the pharmacy, stores, doctors, etc. Last week in the late afternoon, a client assaulted her during transport. The next morning she reported it and the company had the client commited involuntarily and told my wife to go to the hospital. She had finger marks on her neck for 4 days and a bruised wind pipe, but otherwise ok. The office told her she could no longer transport clients (odd since everyone does) and to be at a meeting last monday. That meeting was postponed until today. Today she was suspended until she underwent a psychological screening and that after that she may return but the job she was to have reinstated was off the table.

My 60k custom Chopper motorcycle was stolen from my 3rd floor parking garage in broad daylight. The only 2 security cameras installed are 1) frontal views of vehicles entering the garage and 2) another frontal view of vehicles exiting the garage. In the State of Florida, front license plates are not mandatory. There are no rear camera views of vehicles entering or exiting to capture plates. On top of the lack of cameras, entry into the garage is by using a key fab. The problem with that is that the garage gate stays up for aproximately 20 seconds which allows other cars to follow in. There are no gate arms to disrupt cars from following other cars in. In speaking with the technology company that installed the security cameras..etc, they have told me that the developer rejected the idea of added security cameras throughout the garage and also rejected the idea of having to use the key fab when exiting the garage as well as use for entry which would have prevented this situation

Why is it that people get different sentences for the same exact crime? Like for example some guy got 100 years for manslaughter while another did 15 years for first degree murder? It doesn't make any sense to me. Should the laws be changed so that each crime has a mandatory sentence? I assume that it would be a lot easier on the judges too because they wouldn't have to make a decision on how long someone should be put away. Another thing I don't get is how these 2 guys in Texas received 14 life sentences for attempted murder of a trooper. Why when they didn't even kill him? Not even the worse serial killers and terrorists get that long. I understand people should pay for horrible crimes but why do some get a lot harsher punishment for the same thing than others is beyond comprehension!

I was in a car accident in Texas (el paso). I went to the hospital and got my bill a few months later. I was under the understanding that the insurance company have to pay my bill by law and the insurance claim's guy told me that they do have to pay by law. He then told me I would have to settle first or go to court over it. Is this true?? theres no way i can get my bills paid without signing anything? Im asking because I'm worried that if I settle and then need medical attention for somthing related to the accedent I will be stuck with the bill. I dont want to wait to long Im thinking the longer I wait the harder it will be to get a lawyer to take the case. I tryed to figure this out myslelf but i didnt know were to start so plz leave a link to were you got your info if its on the web, thnx for helpin.

I’ve heard that since Scooter isn’t yet fully pardoned (and would technically be on appeal) that he can plead the fifth in the Valerie Plame Wilson civil suit.

Can anyone confirm that?

How are most background checks conducted? Is it only by the states I list where I've lived? Or do employers simply check all states? I know background checks cost money to perform. I was born and raised in CA but moved to NV. I wanna go back to CA because of all the trouble that I have gotten in in NV. When I move back to CA, can't I just put down on my applications for employment that I have ALWAYS lived in CA?

I moved from Arkansas to my home state Iowa after being granted a divorce in 2006 and custody of my three boys. My ex has reasonable visitation. After the divorce she got in major trouble with the law (she’s completely different than when we were married) for drugs and child neglect (not my kids) and more, and when we (my boys and I) lived in Arkansas she never wanted to see them, so I left my dead-end job with Walmart (in less than 3 years I was the highest paid hourly manger yet could not move up to salary unless I worked nights) and moved back home to Iowa. I started back to college because I have 3 boys to put through college or help them do what they want to do (as long as they work). Now my ex has contacted me (through email) and says she’s remarried but doesn’t have a home they are living with her husband’s aunt.

When I was 17 I was charged with identity fraud and larceny over $250. (I hung around with the wrong crowd of people and they blamed their wrongdoings on me). The judge was very good to me and gave me a continuance without a finding. I served 1 year of probation, payed restitution, and was through with everything. (Note: I was charged as an adult because Massachusetts charges people 17 yrs. or older as adult).

It's been approximately 6 years and I haven't been into any trouble (I've learned my lesson).

I've never been convicted of the crimes, nor am I considered a felon.

If I were to take a background check to obtain a professional license, would I pass? The background check I need done has this stipulation:

You will fail if:

---- (1) You have any felony convictions, other convictions of a serious nature, or any conviction or judgement related to fraud or similar crimes.

Does this mean I will fail because I have two CWOF's on my record from 6 years ago?

I don't judge anyone or their lifestyle. If a person wishes to profit from their own then why not? All I could think of was that the government wouldn't be able to tax it. I would like to know the solid reason behind why prostitution was made illegal. Prostitution has been around since the beginning of time along with sexually transmitted diseases( which I don't understant why this even comes up in the prostitution argument). So why? Why limit someone's life? Pornography is legal... probably because the government is seeing some of the profits. If the government wishes to end prostitution then the first step is to end pornagraphy(again which I have nothing against). It leads to prostitution. A person sees this and that it's a way to profit very well then they will start the first place they can.. clubs, the streets, their own backyard, etc. I'm just looking for a solid reason that's all. All information is welcome!
