Most people seem to love this amendment but who really should be allowed or have the right to own/ have a gun? Everyone seems to think they have the right even murderers just because of this amendment

My landlord is evicting us even though we worked off a years rent plus an extra six grand that we weren't even going to charge him for (we are contractors). We heard that this is not the first time he has done this to contractors and we would like to sue for the money that is owed to us. He is suing us for two grand in rent plus legal fees and he owes us close to thirteen thousand. I would like to countersue but seems pointless if it will just even itself out.

I have lived in my neighborhood for 2 1/2 yrs. The original builder "declerant" went out of business 7 yrs ago and sold the remaining lots off to other builders in the year 2000. About 1 month ago some home owners decided to form an HOA, which can be done accoring to our covenants writtten back on 1999 if 10 homeowners say that they want to do it.

I'm not happy about this, but I am ok with following the rules, but what scares me is I have spoke to several attorneys and they say that writing bylaws can cost from $3000- $10,000 if nothing major comes up. When I told my neighbors this I was told they didn't want to spend that kind of money, and we are smart people we will write our own bylaws. (That is scary)

I called the SC Real estate commission, and they provided me with a copy of the laws stating how an HOA must be set-up, it is very detailed, and 12 long pages long. I think we are asking for a mess.

Any suggestions?

If a guy who is on probation for statutory rape got his gf pregnant could he go to jail ? I know the parents would have to press charges but if the girl said they didn't have sex would they convict him anyway? Could they do a paternity test?

Why does the Princeton professor known as the father of the animal rights movement object to humans eating animals but not to humans having sex with them-and why does PETA defend that position?

i mean, if you're a public defender, you've *got* to defend someone you may know committed the crime they're accused of, but if you're a prosecutor, you're duty bound not to prosecute a case that isn't reasonably provable, right?

My husband, as executor of his recently deceased best friend's estate, is being accused by a brother of his friend of deliberately not informing him of his brother's passing & refusing to share the contents of the will with this brother. But his best friend had left specific details of who he wanted to be notified etc and this brother was not on the list although another brother was. The excluded brother is now sending emails & letters saying that my husband is doing something illegal & he put a claim on the estate & is insisting on seeing the will and going through the personal effects etc. There is not much in the estate to pay for court costs etc so what can we do?

Newly elected chairman of the Young Republican National Federation, Glenn Murphy Jr., has resigned amid a controversy that he s........y attacked a young man by performing ......... on him while he slept. (This after a similar incident in 1998!) A lawyer for Murphy points out that no charges have been filed and he claims the ...... was consensual, but there’s no denial that Murphy was involved. Considering Murphy used gay marriage as an instrument to promote his conservative politics, we want to know, who would be the most ghastly Republican to wake up to a morning ..... from" http://www.out.com/detail.asp?id=22757

My father is aware that his health may deteriorate quickly. The power of attorney became official today.
Do I have to notify his bank and financial advisor that this is now in place?
My dad is in hospital but capable of managing his own affairs.
I hope he will always be this way but there is a small chance he won't be. He has already had a series of mini strokes.
Should I leave things as they are or notify the people in charge of his finances?
I want my father to have peace of mind but not sure what to do for the best.
For the nasty people on this site: I do not want his money.

I'm for it and at the same time against. Sometimes yes I think they deserve to die for taking another life. But let's take in consideration. What if they convict and sentence a man or woman to death and find evidence that the person was innocent. But once you kill them......you can't bring them back. Plus taking the killers life will not bring back the victim back. But in my heart I feel karma should come back IF they did do it. Gosh I'm confused. I need more opinions please.

My company was just bought by another company. We were given 60 day notice that our jobs were going to be elimintated. We were promised a 6 month severence. The top guy @ this new company (CEO) is a bully and manages by belittling everyone. He has a GOD-complex. All the admins have been sending emails back and forth about the attitude of these people. We have also been sending jokes back and forth forever. I send an email (powerpoint) with demotivational pictures (opposite of motivational) pics. Saying these were being shipped from the CEO and we would all get these for our department... hehe. I was brought in to the HR office and told that I was being fired because of it. Before this happened, I have always been an exceptional employee, great reviews and liked by everyone including the previous management team. No one else has been fired for emailing jokes. Can I sue that company for singling me out and firing me? Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!!! : )

Please don't misconstrue this as defending racism. On the contrary. I deplore racism. That is the entire reason I'm questioning this.

If a person hates police officers, and kills a police officer, it's a crime.

If a person hates black people, and kills a black police officer, it's a hate crime with a tougher penalty.

Both are crimes of hate, and in both cases, a person is murdered. Why is one given a harsher sentence than the other?

If I hate taxes and I go into the tax collectors office and murder someone, is this not a hate crime? If I hate my mother in law and I murder her, is this not a hate crime? If I hate my college professor and murder him, is this not a hate crime?

The motivation for a crime should only matter if the incident was accidental or deliberate. The precise motivation, be it racism, sexism, nationalism, or religious hatred, should NOT matter. Racists are cut from the same cloth as any other hate group.

h a religious/creed organization? In other words, if you are the hiring authority, doing the hiring of workers or choosing status of potential hires, and if you and Joe Schmoe have a religiously tied relationship on the outside, ie, belong to the same creed social engine, whether it be the Masons or Catholics or Kof C or what have you, he would be eliminated from being eligible to be hired by you or you would have to recuse yourself from that capacity as a hiring agent?

Could this have some affect on the religiously intentional or otherwise, discriminational hiring that goes on in our work places?

... constantly using racial slurs that desparage black people. Would my friend be able to sue his boss and the company, seeing as how he's in a "trapped" situation where he can't get out of the conversation, and because the company condones this behavior (the other bosses are the same way.)

Here's the thing though... my friend is white. Does that mean that he can't sue, because the comments "aren't harming him?" Personally, I find them harmful any time you're in a work environment (or anywhere else, for that matter) whether you're black or white. Your opinions, please.
