I want to know how many people agree with me on this. I think the truancy law is stupid because you can make a child go to school but you can't make them learn. A child that doesn't want to learn will not learn properly and often causes disturbances to people who do want to learn. It also waste school resources and time when a child who doesn't want to go to school is forced to go to school because it waste the teachers time as well as the child's time.

A vigilante group has been convicted for murdering a registered sex offender. All but one has been sentenced to life in prison. The one has been sentenced to death.

Do you think this is right?

The convicted sex offender was finished with his obligation to the government (no more prison time, no more supervised release). He was listed as a registered sex offender on the public national data base.

His crime - Indecent exposure to a child under 12. He was seen by an 11 year old girl while peeing behind a 7-11 one night after a night at the bar.

Now he has been murdered because this group had an axe to grind and blanketed his crime with the true pedophiles (people who rape children).

Again - Do you think what this vigilante group did was right?

When DNA is taken from a sex offender, do they check for any types of STD's? If so what types are they checked for? Would herpes be one of them? Please let me know if anyone has any ideas.

My principal recently cited me on a dress code violation, that my tank top was an undergarment, and therefore could not be worn.
Upon showing her that it was indeed NOT an undershirt, she began to tell me that men are not allowed to wear tank tops because it sends the wrong message.
I asked what this message is, fearing some anti-gay hogwash. Her reply was that it didn't promote an image of modesty or remote professionalism.
I cited that the school allows people to wear full blown halloween costumes AND that there were women standing right next to me wearing nearly the same tank top, AND scantily less clothing.

So, after going back and forth with her I got straight to the point, "So, the rule is that as a male I may not wear a tank top." AND SHE SAID YES. (sex discrimination that infringes on my ability to wear what clothes I choose)

My question is, how much power does a school have over dress codes, can I fight this discrimination, and HOW?
(As a 17 year old in high school in CA.)

I design websites for musicians. I have a DEMO site that showcases all the features in my musician websites. One of the features is an integrated site-wide MP3 player. Can I use music registered under a Creative Commons license on this integrated MP3 player? This would be for DEMO purposes. I won't be selling the music just using it to demo how the player works. I will be selling my web design services and packages. Please advice me. Thanks.

I was off sick for 2 weeks and obtained a certificate from my doctor with a return to work date clearly written on it. The doctor couldn't see me until after I had returned to work so the date he signed the certificate is 3 days after the return to work date. My employer wanted to record me as off sick until the date the doctor signed the certificate rather than the return to work date the doctor had recorded. Which is the correct date for my employer to use for their records? Thanks

& if you don't report it, then you're an accessory to a crime & can go to jail, too. That's pretty bad. Like you can't win either way. I guess you're better off trying your best to not be around a crime.

I wanted to sign my husband, who is currently out of town, up for a tanning membership (aka contract) because of a promotion that is going on at the salon. I filled in all of his information (social security, etc) and signed and dated MY name. Before the counter person processed the information, I told her nevermind and to wait until my husband gets back to see if it is what he really wants and that we will come back. She took a hold of the original copy of the contract and also mine. She did not charge me, but the credit card information was written on the paper so she could process it, but I stopped her before she did. I actually want to cancel the whole thing altogether, and was wondering if she could use it against me that I've already signed for it. Does it still make it legal if its under his information but my signature is on it and not his? Going in tomorrow and hoping I didn't screw myself over...

Should the US legalize the use of Marijuana? Why? Why not?
Simple question but it usually comes with many complicated answers.

My opinion on it is that it should not be legalized. Mostly because people will begin to do stupid things with it such as driving with it or some joker is smoking it and walk in front of a car. I think of it like drinking and we all know how people "respect" those laws. If we keep it illegal and people continue to smoke it in the privacy of their own home then not too many bad things will happen.

Plus look at young people and drinking, they want to get sh**face drunk when they go drinking on a regular basis just think if pot was available with such ease as alcohol is.

Well thats just my opinion on it but I'd like to hear what others have to say.

I do not qualify for welfare in OR but I surely cannot afford an attorney. I am 56 so I don't think old enough for senior assistance, but I know when I got my divorce in 1984 and was broke, I called the state and they sent me to an attorney that would work with people who had very littlemoney How do I do that ? in Oregon? I have not committed any crime, I am as white as snow but I have neighbors driving me crazy and they are sociopaths as far as I can tell, so I need to start taking legal action

Think about it, if they were required to have a license, they would have to be checked for STDs on a regular basis, which would cut down on the spread of these diseases. It would also be a lot safer for prostitutes, who could stop working on the dangerous streets and instead could either set up shop with their own business or give out a number to meet clients at their own homes or at hotels. I don't really see the downside here, since people are going to do this regardless of legality. After all, it is the world's oldest profession.

(I am a guy in middle school in arizona) Ok so i was sitting on a bench at school and some guy told me to move, i didn't and after about 20 second s of arguing ( i did not call him anything offensesive during the argument i only said that i didn't want to move) he sat down next to me and partially on my thigh because there was very little room left on the bench.Then, he asked me if i was gay because i was sitting close to him. I replied no and said you are the one who sat on me. Then he said a few more things and elbowed me twice in the chest pretty hard. The elbows didn't hurt only because i blocked them So i was just wondering what i could sue him for.
I am probably not going to sue him but i just want to know all the things i could sue him for.

What are judgments you have made this week? For each judgment, make a comment about the value that led to this judgment and name a possible consequence. (Example: “That red dress is perfect for the party.” Value: Red looks good on me and is festive. Consequence: I bought the dress. OR “Janice is irritating; she drives me nuts.” Value: Her behavior conflicts with something I feel is important. Consequence: I avoid her.)
