It seems some yahoo participants have been engaging in very derogatory statements involving race, creed, religion, and such. Why is it that yahoo allows these participants to do such harm to others and never take them off the account completely?

The American government makes RACE mandatory on the citizenship form for someone seeking American citizenship. It is not optional but mandatory for new immigrants to know and accept RACE before becoming an American citizen. The American government also grants money based on RACE. Isn't this a violation of democratic and constitutional rights.

I received a "Summons" letter from the district court of our city attached with a "complaint" from the collection agency (also it's been witnessed by the clerk in our district court). We owe $624.74. Ok, obviously, this is the beginning of being sued. My husband and I know we owe this money...the bill was actually around $1,000 originally and we made a payment of $300 then 4 payments of 75 dollars. So we're not trying to fight it, but unfortunately, due to other medical circumstances, we ended up paying several more $100's and quit making payments to the collection agency which has landed us where we are. What can we do at this point?! I'm desperate. My husband and I are good people, and I'm willing to get this paid off in 30 days if need be...is it too late or do we HAVE to appear in court now?! This is so depressing and we've never been in this situation before and I just don't know what we can do...will they accept payment arrangements now? Someone please please help!!? :-(

I had this encounter last night with this girl that said she was an FBI Agent and she was investigating this Romance Scam I was involved with last year. I was not the scammer so do not judge me in your replies! I was merely the victim and that is it. When I asked her for her creditials, she goes "How dare you question me?" She was very defensive about it so I don't know if she is legitmate or not. She also has a boss that was questioning me as well for evidence involved with the reshipping scam.

I recently bought a product from someone on craigs list. When purchasing I agreed to there terms and conditions without reading them and was sent a cheaper and less efficent version of the product. In the terms it stated that the original ad which got me to the website was an advertisment and it did state that I would be receiving the product I got. Basically they tricked me into buying a lesser product by advertising a better product and only telling me that in the terms and conditions I agreed to but didn't read all the way through.

I'm wondering if that's legal to do and if there is anything I can do to get my money back, I know I agreed to the terms but it's pretty decieving when it's cleverly worded in terms and conditions I had to agree to in order to purchase.

Thanks in Advance :-)

Violation of copyright through digital piracy (e.g. Pirating software, movies, books, etc.) or Predatory Lending?

Predatory lending is where a person intentionally loans money to someone who would have a difficult time paying it back. They do this so that they earn the maximum interest back and charge stiff penalties for late payments.

Some people believe that digital piracy isn't actually theft since they are not denying the property to it's rightful owner. It is illegal.

Predatory lending robs the poorest of the poor, keeping them indebted for long periods of time. It is legal in most states.

Bill Clinton pardons controversy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
President Bill Clinton was widely criticized for some pardons and other acts of executive clemency [1]; collectively, this controversy has sometimes been called Pardongate in the press.[2] Federal prosecutor Mary Jo White was appointed to investigate the pardons. She was later replaced by James Comey. Comey found no grounds to indict Clinton.

[edit] FALN Pardons of 1999
On August 11, 1999, Clinton commuted the sentences of 16 members of FALN, a violent Puerto Rican nationalist group that set off 120 bombs in the United States mostly in New York City and Chicago, convicted for conspiracies to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as for firearms and explosives violations.[3] None of the 16 were convicted of bombings or any crime which injured another person, though they were sentenced with terms ranging from 35 to 105 years in prison for the conviction of conspiracy and sedition. Congress, however, recognizes that the FALN is responsible for "6 deaths and the permanent maiming of dozens of others, including law enforcement officials." All of the 16 had served 19 years or longer in prison, which was a longer sentence than such crimes typically received, according to the White House.[citation needed] Clinton offered clemency, on condition that the prisoners renounce violence, at the appeal of 10 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, President Jimmy Carter, the cardinal of New York, and the archbishop of Puerto Rico. The commutation was opposed by U.S. Attorney's Office, the FBI, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons and criticized by many including former victims of FALN terrorist activities, the Fraternal Order of Police,[4] members of Congress, and Hillary Clinton in her campaign for Senator.[5] Congress condemned the action, with a vote of 95-2 in the Senate and 311-41 in the House.[6][7] The U.S. House Committee on Government Reform held an investigation on the matter, but the Justice Department prevented FBI officials from testifying.[8] President Clinton cited executive privilege for his refusal to turn over some documents to Congress related to his decision to offer clemency to members of the FALN terrorist group.
[edit] Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory pardons
In March 2000, Bill Clinton pardoned Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory, owners of the carnival company United Shows International, for charges of bank fraud from a 1982 conviction (the couple were already out of jail, but the prior conviction prevented them from doing business transactions in certain states). First Lady Hillary Clinton's youngest brother, Tony Rodham, was an acquaintance of the Gregorys, and had lobbied Clinton on their behalf.[9] In October 2006, the group Judicial Watch filed a request with the U.S. Justice Department for an investigation, alleging that Rodham had received $107,000 from the Gregorys for the pardons, in the form of loans that were never repaid, as part of a quid pro quo scheme.[10]
[edit] Pardons and commutations signed on final day in office
Clinton issued 140 pardons as well as several commutations on his last day of office (January 20, 2001).[11] When a sentence is commuted, the conviction remains intact, but the sentence can be altered in a number of ways. Some controversial actions include the following:
Carlos A. Vignali had his sentence for cocaine trafficking commuted, after serving 6 of 15 years in federal prison.
Almon Glenn Braswell was pardoned of his mail fraud and perjury convictions, even while a federal investigation was underway regarding additional money laundering and tax evasion charges.[12] Braswell and Carlos Vignali each paid approximately $200,000 to Hillary Clinton's brother, Hugh Rodham, to represent their respective cases for clemency. Hugh Rodham returned the payments after they were disclosed to the public.[citation needed] Braswell would later invoke the Fifth Amendment at a Senate Committee hearing in 2001, when questioned about allegations of his having systematically defrauded senior citizens of millions of dollars.[13]
Marc Rich, a fugitive, was pardoned of tax evasion, after clemency pleas from Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, among many other international luminaries. He was required to pay a $100 million dollar fine and waive any use of the pardon as a defense against any future civil charges that were filed against him in the same case. Critics complained that Denise Rich, his former wife, had made substantial donations to the Clinton library and to Mrs. Clinton's senate campaign. Emails uncovered during the course of the investigation revealed that her final donation was provided a year before Scooter Libby requested that she approach Clinton for a pardon. According to Paul Volcker's independent investigation of Iraqi Oil-for-Food kickback schemes, Marc Rich was a middleman for several suspect Iraqi oil deals involving over 4 million barrels of oil.[14]
Susan McDougal, who had already completed her sentence, was pardoned for her role in the Whitewater scandal; McDougal had served 18 months on contempt charges for refusing to testify about Clinton's role.
Dan Rostenkowski, a former Democratic Congressman convicted in the Congressional Post Office Scandal. Rostenkowski had served his entire sentence.
Melvin J. Reynolds, a Democratic Congressman from Illinois, who was convicted of bank fraud, 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction of justice, and solicitation of child pornography had his sentence commuted on the bank fraud charged and was allowed to serve the final months under the auspices of a half way house. He had served his entire sentence on child sex abuse charges before the commutation of the later convictions.
Roger Clinton, the president's half-brother, on drug charges after having served the entire sentence more than a decade before. Roger Clinton would be charged with drunk driving and disorderly conduct in an unrelated incident within a year of the pardon.[15] He was also briefly alleged to have been utilized in lobbying for the Braswell pardon, among others. However, no wrongdoing was uncovered.
On Feb. 18, 2001, Clinton wrote a New York Times column defending the 140 pardons.[16]

our neighbor has approached us a few (3 or 4) times concerning a package he was expecting. he claims the vendor has the "wrong" address, and if we get it - to just bring it over for him. we've obliged, but thought it was strange that the packages were not addressed to him. so the other day, we received a call from a vendor who was investigating a particular incident of credit card theft. the package was supposedly sent to our address. so we suspect that our neighbor is up to no good - and using our address to receive stolen goods. what should we do? and if we report it, how can we prove any of it? we have no records of any of the packages. thanks in advance.

I understand that most states share DMV information regarding suspended licenses. This is because of the interstate compact that 45 states have joined. I also know that Wisconsin is NOT one of those states that has joined the compact. My question is that besides the compact does wisconsin share its DMV info with other states? If I got a Florida license before my suspension starts in wisconsin will it become invalid at that point? I believe that since Wis. is not part of the interstate compact then wisconsin does not send the revocation information out ?? so how would florida know? Thanks all!

I have a court order & have a case balance of almost $16,000.00. The DA is of NO help! As long as there is a payment withing 1 year, they say there is nothing they can do as the case doesn't default to a criminal case until there has been no payment for 1 full year. I may get $50 a year & that's it, but because it's something, the DA wont do anything to persue it. I know where the father is, know where he works, & give all this information to the DA. Once everything is in place to get a wage assignment (which takes a good 3 months with the DA) & the money is taken out of the father's 1st check, he quits & gets another job. So it starts all over again. There has to be someone or something out there I can do to stop the injustice that is being done to my daughter. I don't care about the money. It's not for me, it's for her. Does anyone have any suggestions????? THANKS!!!!!

The protective order was by his current wife. She dropped the protective order and they live together again after a short seperation. We have three children and I have sole custody of them all. We have been divorced for 5 years and he has a history of domestic violence as well a bi polar disorder that I do not believe he is getting treatment for. I made an appointment with a counselor for he and I to figure out what needs to be done and I sent him a certified letter saying that he must attend this meeting or he will not be seeing the children until there is some kind of satisfactory result that will give me assurance that my sons will be safe in his home and in his care. He called the counselor's office and refused the meeting. What more can I do to solve the problem? If there are any legal mi8nds or anyone who deals with things like this in a personal or professional manner, please advise me.
