I have looked at escort ads, and they say:

"All money exchanged is for companionship and modeling services only. Any physical contact is a matter of choice between 2 consenting adults."

Does this make it legal? Just wondering?

walking thru a residential area? I'm not sure what the law is here in my hometown , I'll call the cops tomorrow to find out for sure, but I do not own a car, and I sometimes walk a mile to the convenience store for a beer and drink it while walking home. Note: not on any commercial property, only when walking back home in residential areas. I do not see why it should be - after all, I am NOT driving, clearly, and am drinking only ONE beer while WALKING.......

My friend and I are having a debate. She says that since she just turned 18 and her mom is disabled, she is considered a dependant and should get 600+ dollars from social security each month. She says this is because she goes to high school full time and still lives with her mom. I thought, however, three things consituted a dependant:
1-Being under the age of 18
2-Being retired and living with a family member
3-Being disabled and living with a family member.

When she lays out her situation, it is:
-She lives with her mom, who is disabled
-She is 18
-She is fully capable of getting a job
-She goes to High School full time

So is she considered a depenant under her mother by social security?

So, the Executive can intervene in the Judiciary and overrule an independent judge's sentence in the US. And if you are on the president's team you can break the law because you will not go to jail, right?


Bush spares Libby from jail term

US President George W Bush has intervened to prevent Lewis Libby, a convicted former vice-presidential aide, from serving a prison term.
President Bush described as "excessive" the 30-month sentence Libby was facing for obstructing an inquiry into the leaking of a CIA agent's name.
Though no longer required to go to jail, Libby is still due to serve a period of probation and pay a fine.
A leading Democratic politician said Mr Bush's decision was "disgraceful".
History will judge the president "harshly" for using his power to benefit his own Vice President's chief of staff, Harry Reid, the leading Democrat in the US Senate, said.
Lewis Libby, also known by his nickname, "Scooter" Libby, was found guilty in March of perjury and obstructing justice in a case connected to Washington's decision to invade Iraq.
His trial saw the White House accused of having illegally made public the identity of a serving CIA agent, Valerie Plame, in an apparent effort to embarrass her husband.


Ms Plame's husband, a former US diplomat, had publicly criticised the basis for the invasion of Iraq.
Libby was found to have lied to investigators about conversations where he mentioned Ms Plame but he was not convicted of having directly leaked her name.
He was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison, two years of probation and a fine of $250,000 (£125,000).
Democratic leader Harry Reid said the conviction was "the one faint glimmer of accountability for White House efforts to manipulate intelligence and silence critics of the Iraq war".
Responding to President Bush's decision to commute Libby's sentence, he said: "Now, even that small bit of justice has been undone."
'Forever damaged'
Hours before President Bush's announcement, an appeals court had told Libby he could no longer delay going to jail.
The judge ruled that Libby could not remain free on bail while his lawyer appealed against the sentence.
President Bush said he had until now refrained from intervening in the case, waiting instead for the appeals process to take its course.
"But with the denial of bail being upheld and incarceration imminent, I believe it is now important to react to that decision," he said.
"I respect the jury's verdict," President Bush said. "But I have concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr Libby is excessive," Mr Bush said.
However, he said, Libby's remaining punishments - the probation period and fine - were "harsh" and would leave his reputation "forever damaged".
The BBC's James Westhead in Washington said the president's decision was a compromise between pardoning Libby outright and allowing his full sentence to stand.

If you saw the news today. The black nasty cop who shot the hispanic soldier who was in Irak fighting for this country. was not guilty. Acording to the video used in the court, shows another story, because we can see clearly than the black guy was trying to kill the hispanic man. The cop ( I believe was in Riverside County in California) ordered the man to stand up and then he started shooting at him. The question is: How about if the family, since the court couldn't make justice, take the justice in their own hands? It seems like the system every time more and more is pushing the society to take justice by their own. That's because when unjustice is clear, they don't punishe the criminals, we now know even cops are criminals, we've seen them commiting crimes. What do you think? Should they (The Family) do whatever it takes to make justice?
