Is free speech legal only when you're at home or public institutions, but not in private grounds?

So does it mean that I could get fired by my boss, stopped from flying in an airline, or get thrown off a bus if I make any expression that they somehow, even for no decent reason, find it offensive? Note that I didn't insult or harm anyone directly.

I have a gym membership and my debit card had expired in June so last month wasn't payed. I was going to pay it off this Friday plus this month.

But somehow they got into my account and took $15 out, why $15 I don't know. I didn't give them my new card info yet until I had the funds to pay both months off so they had no payment information. Was this legal? Are there any loopholes they could have used that were perfectly legal?

I would like to know since I made a phone call to them asking them to put it back, and I would like to know if I have the law as back up or am I SoL?

So our last stop was at Rite Aid and he wanted to get some beer so he went and got it and im just following him we go up to the reggister and the man asked for his ID he showed him and im just minding my own buisness and he askes for mine and i tell him im under 21 and im just driving him around so the man says "im sorry but its against the law, we cant sell you this beer because you are with a minnor" so my friend start to kinda argue with him and i just tell him lets go. So we get in the car and he gets out to talk to the manager but there is no manager and the only other person working agrees with the man. So is what he saying true even if your over 21 and have and ID and money you cant buy alchohol if you have a minnor with you?

They keep making senteces longer and longer

They can keep sentences short but make jail suck more

In Japan if you go to prison you get 3 Tea drinks and 1 cup of rice a day. 22 hour a day locked in. No TV no movie night. No phone calls. I think 3 showers a week. They do allow visits once a week.

They make jail suck so bad that people don't want to go there.

Also their is no translators for anything. They are provided but they are NOT obligated to provide one.

But they have a lower crime rate, and even lower reoffender rate.

They save the tax dollars by making the lenth of sentences shorter but having the jails suck so bad.

Thoughts.......

Now first and foremost it's very hipricritical. It says that they're responsible enough for punishment but not resposible enough for privelge.
Ask some questions:
Legally
Can a minor buy cigarettes
Can a minor buy alcohol
Can a minor vote
Can a minor get a drivers license in all 50 states
Can a minor sign a contract without a parent
Can a minor get married w/o parental consent
Can a minor give sexual consent
Can a minor join the service
We all know that there's more but I think if kids can be charged as adults then they should get all the rights, freedoms and privileges as adults. It's only right or we charge them as juviniles because they are still kids and can be rehabilitated so they can be better adults.

I want honest feedback and thoughts...

Also, why are abortionists exempt from reporting suspected child abuse and molestation, when any other medical or mental health practitioner is required to report suspected child abuse and sexual molestation of a minor?

As a young adult I believe it is wrong to let young people go to war at 18 and come back injured and not be able to have a drink. If more regulations were made for younger drinkers as well as parents being partly responsible for their minor children till they reach 21. They'd be less DUI's.

I have asked friends, but they gave me conflicting answers. Some say that they legally have to pay you time-and-a-half after working 8 consecutive hours. But some disagree and say that they only have to do this when you work more than 40 hours in a week.

Can I really be sued for 70 dollars? Psycho stalker is trying to piss me off?
A crazy girl I went out with a few times says that she is going to call her attorney and sue me for 70 dollars. The money comes from a train we took from D.C. to Baltimore. All I ever told her (when we were on good terms) is I would make it up to her. Never said I would pay it.
Now she is saying that if I don't give her the money for the ticket that she will sue me.
Ever since she found out about my new girlfriend, she has been harrassing me and making threats.
I am beyond irritated and told her that I would mail her the money just to get her off my back.
However, she won't give me her address. She wants to meet in person, but I have no desire to do so. She is just wanting to cause trouble and I am not down with that.
Does she really have a leg to stand on? She says if I don't meet her tommorow, which I can't (I am in Ohio), she will call her attorney and sue (or humiliate me) as she said. Maybe I should file

My mother-in-law accidentally shipped a $300 blender to an eBay buyer BEFORE he sent a payment. He received the item and I was never able to hear from him again.

Stupid mistake we can all agree on that, but what do I do in such case? I live in MN and he lives in CA. He won't respond to any of my emails (both the nice and the not-so-nice ones).

Should I bother the local police about this? Isn't he obligated as a side in this transaction to pay for this item whether or not it was shipped first? Isn't that like in a restaurant, that you get the food then pay?

I work at a bar/restaurant in SC, and they want their employees to take a course that is not a statewide mandatory liquor service course. The restaurant/bar is mandating that we take it, and requiring that we pay a $25 fee for the coursebook, all of this on a day off. Is this legal? If they consider a course mandatory (in my layman's estimation), they should front the cost of the materials. Help!

Its kind of complex but Ill try to make it short.
We moved out of our lease early but we got a subleasor to take over our lease. We painted a stripe on a single wall when we lived there and the subleasor loves it. Our lease ended and our landlord sent us back our security deposit. 90 dollars was deducted due the the painted wall. He said it is going to cost him that much in labor and materials to paint the wall (this stripe was literally 5 feet long and 1 1/2 foot wide. He also deducted 25 dollars for a light bulb fixture that was broken in the basement (the basement was accessible to both residences of the house, it was a duplex.) We truthfully did not break the fixture, Im pretty sure the subleasor broke it when she was putting stuff downstairs to store) Can he deduct that from our deposit?
I want to take him to small claims for the 110 that he owes us, how do i do that? what do you think about the situation?

He got caught with vicodin and I want to know if he really needs to get an attorney to represent him if all he wants to ask for is work-release or can he just ask the judge on his own? He wasnt allowed a court represented attorney because of how much he makes, but an attorney we asked for advice wants 2500 down- and my friend doesnt just have that kind of money to pull out his butt. So, can he represent himself and ask for workrelease or does he need to cough up 2500 for a attorney?

I had a situation in November 2006 where a nurse accidentally gave me 10 times the amount of dexamethasone I was supposed to take and I ended up going into shock for 2 days. I was critical during that time.

But I'm on disability and the lawyer isn't taking my case - if I was a rich person they'd have a clear cut obvious case and so why can't I have a case too. Just because I'm on SSDI?

Doesn't my life matter too?

I guess only the lives of the wealthy matter.

At least on this earth.

I know lawyers say that's how it is - but don't any of you people have a conscience? when you have a disabled person where they did negligence? So what's stopping medical people from killing all these people? nothing in my mind. They can "accidentally" kill whatever undesireable people they want to kill and ther's nothing anyone can do about it.

Well my life has value, and I want to sue these people and I want money for my suffering like any rich person would get.

thank you

It seems to me that medical providers get away with all kinds of gross negligence with elderly people, and if they die - they go - well they were old, or they had this or that problem, - they always have something that backs them up legally - when in truth what killed them was the doctor's mistake. - example. My wife died in June 2006 at 42. she had a long history of heart trouble due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - the night before she cam to the ER and she was symptomatic and it passed and they let her go home. she practically begged them to keep her - telling them that it's normal procedure to keep anyone with hypertrophic cardio myopathyh overnight if they are symptomatic. The doctor didn't understand the condition and let her go home and he was an IDIOT because he didn't know and didn't try to get help - he could have got her to another facility at that time. Next day she dies of sudden death. I still maintain it was the doctor's negligence
