I was arrested for shoplifting 8 years ago. I paid a fine, went to "shoplifting class" and the arrest was expunged. Why did I not get a jury to see over my trial.

Who determines when a jury is needed? Did I not get my due process because I wasn't judged by a panel of my peers?

The mother of the child doesn't want anything to do with the father of the child. She files a restraining order against the father while she is pregnant. Can the father still file for custody of the child even with the restraining order against him? If so, what if there is a restraining order against him from the baby?

Are your premiums are too high, coverage too low, or you simply cannot afford healthcare insurance and have no coverage at all..

Do your elected officials have healthcare insurance? Of course they do.

After all you voted for them to not only get more paid vacation days per year, work less days; not have worries about homelessness, hunger, gas prices, food prices, unemployment or unemployment wages, bancruptcy, gas prices, welfare, retirement or health care insurance. In short you have voted in favor of them living better than you.

Why should you be left out?
Here is a start towards a solutuion. Now you too can be on your way to better healthcare coverage.

I'm 18. I play high stakes poker competitevely at various casinos downtown in my city thats home to 1 million people, so its a pretty big city.

There's no safety deposit boxes at these casinos, so I'm forced to carry cash, usually 800 bucks in hundreds when I'm going, and on a really big win, usually 2 000 coming home. I take public transit. I have enough money to get a car but don't have the time to learn how to drive or take the test cause I go to school full time and play poker full time.

Should I carry some type of weapon as protection?

I usually feel safe, and have always been liberal and for gun control, as I grew up in a different city with more gang violence and hated hearing about crime and gangs in my city. Recently on my way home, I saw several crackheads, prostitutes, and 2 guys beating up another guy. I no longer feel safe with all that money on my person.

If you would sugeest getting a weapon, what would you suggest?

Thanks in advance.

It just seems like our entire governmental system is busied with obsesive laws, attempting to impose majority preferences on what others do on private property. I work on causes geered toward promoting respect for individual rights, but those who lust for power keep winning? Even Americans who complain about the Taliban, and say they love American freedom seek to be just as tyranical the first chance they get. I want to hear from the statists. I want to know what drives you. Is control it's own reward?

Hi, I recently got terminated. I am glad I got terminated because there was so many illegal things going on at the place I worked...unethical, and immoral, and illegal things... such as pressure to sell customers stuff they DO NOT need, gouging the customers prices, managers physically getting WAY TOO close to employees.

I've learned alot on what I do not want in a future employer, but I am having trouble trusting future employers after this one... especially because of the way this one went about terminating me... he sneaked around, interviewed a girl secretly, and hired her b/c of her butt and boobs... she has no experience at all... then hid her til the day i was fired, and had me train her a little on the day i was fired.

My question is: What do I look for in a future employer that will help me not worry about being screwed over as I was at this place, and how do I get rid of the negative prejudice Ive developed about managers?

He's really getting on my nerves. He's like 14 and he thinks he's hot stuff. He wears baggy clothes and listens to 50 Cent.... He's white as could be. I guess he wants to perpetuate the rap = crime stereotype so he keeps entering my property and stealing things from my lawn. He even entered my house a couple times. The police have only spoken to him and, of course, he and his naïve parents deny everything. They think he's been in their house the whole time and they're very adamant about it.

So can I legally pop this kid in the face next time he enters my property? Would I be charged with abuse toward a minor?

I KNOW... I KNOW... he was found not guilty...

He wasn't found innocent... but not guilty.

I am white and I would have found him not guilty with the evidence provided (even though I know he did it)

If a man asked a woman to have an abortion when she notified him of the pregnancy and could prove he asked that to a judge could the judge deny him any part in the child's life based on that? I know judges make up their own minds but is this likely.
