Why?
Why not?
If not to eighteen, how low should it be brought, if it is lowered at all?

I'm totally undecided on this issue, and I want to find out more from BOTH sides. Best answer will go to the most well thought-out, most persuasive, and most well-sourced answer on either side.

... if they kill an unborn child (like they shoot a pregnant woman in the belly during a robbery and the fetus dies). If it's really murder shouldn't abortion also be illegal? And if abortion is legal, how can it be murder? It seems to me like it should be either both or neither. What do you think?

We got a letter claiming that we were taken to court in 2000 and owe $3500. After a judgement is filed how long do companies have to collect the money before the judgement is invalid? Or is it ever invalid? They claim its a default judgement, but we can't recall ever being served. I live in MO if that helps out.

Once a person has finished their 3yr law school education, earning their J.D. degree, but wants to practice as a criminal prosecutor, do they have to take an additional class??? or is the 3yr law school education adequate. I am confused as to how this works. Any sort of help would be appreciated. Thank you.

We live in the state of Texas and attend public schools. My question is: is the school district within it's legal rights to make boys have a certain hair length? Ex. not touching the collar or no longer than ear? We have no religous or ethnic reason for my son to keep long hair so is there any legal standing for us to fight this?

What's your opinion about this statement? (Please keep in mind that this is a statement that I found, my opinion may or may not agree with this statement. Thanks)

Gay Marriage Should Be Legal:

It is against the law to discriminate based on race, age, or gender.

Some people believe that homosexuality is wrong and therefore, gays should not be allowed to get marriage.

But then, some people believe the moon is made cheese. That doesn't mean they're right.

Some people believe if marriage is love, then people should be allowed to marry their pets, children, siblings, or multiple partners at the same time.

But pets and children can't give consent, siblings can produce birth defects, and marriage is also about monogamy, not polygamy.

Whether you believe homosexuality is right or the aliens from the planet Bandark visit you at might, you are entitled to those beliefs.

You are not, however, allowed to revoke someones rights based solely on those beliefs.

he installed new tub and shower unit, did not put any concrete under it, scratched and goudged the walls and the 130 year old wood work, left gaps at both ends of tub, took off without a finish inspection and wont come back. says he did no damage. we payed him roughly one fourth and are refusing to pay more until he finishes the job right and repairs the damage. just refinishing the plaster wall and wood work will be $470.00 plus the cost of a painter will be another two or three hundred. we only owe him about 750.00 he refuses to provide his license and contractor numbers. he filed mechanics lean on the property, we tried to get him into court and the judge would not hear the case as the house is not up for forclosure. seems iowa courts only protect the buisness owners and not the consumer. he can file lean for unfinished work and damage he left with no written contract, but i cant do the same to him for the damage. how do i go after him and the old buddy court of cass county iowa?

Our children's toys are painted with lead paint, our toothpaste has toxic chemicals in it, and our dog food is contaminated with deadly ingredients. There is evidence of abuse within the manufacturing companies and it isn't good for our economy. I get frustrated that it is getting impossible to buy things that say made in America. To be honest I wouldn't mind buying products made in countries that I know have strict laws about safety and worker's rights.

Due to an unfortunate accident, my neighbor Fritz has been blind for several years. He drinks quite heavily and has not accepted the new life that he has been forced to live. I do feel for him but I have had to replace my front window 4 times because of his random gunfire.

I have talked to the police but they say they can do nothing as long as he is in his driveway (it's painted blue and has the state approved handicap signage) and has the handicapped tag on his neck.

Somehow this just doesn't seem right.
