I am a legal resident and not a citizen of the United States.
But I love America and Americans and have had good education, training and work that fits my skills and many great neighbours, friends who like, accept me.

But there are a few who have tried to hurt me, right now I have a vicious and maniacal stalker who is proving to be dangerous, unstable and a power monger. I believe I can get into deep trouble for hating this man, I can be turned in as a hater so a target for watching by big brother.

Is this correct? So can a stalker be allowed to continue his sick passion and given access to my private space, on line access, phone and everything else under this pretext?
Is this fair treatment of individuals in society? Are there any women out there who would accept this kind of control over her and be ok with that?

Bare in mind the following:-
Raising the drinking age will NOT stop petty crime
HOW is it going to stop yobish behaviour on a large scale when it aims at creating a better atmosphere for adults?
Parents DO NOT KNOW or DO NOT CARE that thier children are drinking (broadly speaking)
Why should everyone between the ages of 18 and 21 be punished for irresponsible parents & people whom are willing to break the law

Yes it might save a few lives & a little bit of hassle but it'd hardly stop the troubled youths anyway.

Think about the loss of income news agents, pubs & clubs are going to be getting.

What do other people think?

I was in a accident with a friend and she told me she's not suing my insurance just the other parties, but for some reason I don't trust her. If I was being sued by her would my insurance company inform me? She might just be suing the other person, because I got no calls or letters from my insurance that the was suing. Another one of my friends just hit someone from behind and she received a letter in the mail in a week that said that the girl was suing her insurance. Why didn't I get a letter or a call if my backstabbing friend is suing my insurance?

Lets take the example that the kid found his father's gun and for some reason he shoots his parents.
What would happen to him? He's too young to go to prison?
What would he grow up into? a remorseful person? something else?

For over 20 years we have been fighting the war on drugs and there are no less drugs than before, crime hasn't decreased, voilence hasn't decreased, etc...

When will it be time to examine our tactics against our citizens and form a conclusive strategy to end the war?

We have been dropping the hammer on these criminals for over 20 years and we are no closer to resolution... Isn't it time we switched tools?

We have reverted to no-knock warrants, paramilitary units, and using K-9 against our citizens. How can we possibly win and what would be the next logical step toward finalizing this war?

I was informed that I was one of the beneficiaries in a will, however the other beneficiaries have received their share of the estate. Can the executor of the will refuse to give or show a copy of the will to anyone who is not mentioned in the will.

If so would I have send for a copy from Probate Sub-Registry in York, if so do you know how long after the estate has been distributed can a copy be requested.
Thanks

I had some auctions terminated by eBay because the verified rights owner reported me for 'trademark infringement - unauthorised use' - they said I was selling counterfeits. I am 110% certain that my items are authentic but don't have store receipts as they were purchased from other sellers. The company is refusing to even tell me why they think my items are fake and will not budge unless I send in paperwork. My eBay account is now restricted and I won't be able to relist unless the company contacts eBay to have my auctions reinstated. I've lost sales, customers and damage to my reputation. I believe the company is engaging in unfair trading practices, using the guise of 'trademark infringement' etc. to stop the secondary market on eBay, where the items sell for less than retail price.

The company is based in California, USA and I'm in Australia. My items were listed on eBay.com (USA). They don't have stores here and I don't have the $$ to fly to the US.

People are trying to use the excuse that since he is a black man he is being persecuted and will not get true justice. Granted, if he is INNOCENT, he will be found that way and the people who are turning over on him appear to have a few credibility issues. But if he did do it, he should be found that way in a court of law,and if you read the indictment,the charges look uglier than Rosie O'Donnel in a thong, so I wish him the best of luck. Judge the man by his actions, not the color of his skin.

How would I draw up a legally binding document so I know that the gentleman cannot go back on his word of letting me have the house for that price, as he is wiling to sign such an agreement?
