I was arrested when I was 16. The original charge was a felony but I got it reduced to a misdemeanor through a plea agreement and it was since expunged. I don't recall ever being fingerprinted, so I think I am safe.
Fingerprint background checks can only check cases where you were fingerprinted, correct?
The job is an airline job in case you need to know.

All safety factors would be used. i don't want to hear about how dangerous it is, you people who drive cars and trucks are the ones who make riding a motorcycle dangerous. open your eyes, pay attention. i just want to know if she can just say no and be final or if she needs a court order. can she even get a court order without cause? I live in Wisconsin. thanks

Everyone around me seems to think I'm completely insane, but I believe they should.

If someone owns a business, I think they should be permitted to fire a worker for no reason at all. Even if it's because of a prejudice. I think that if you own a business, it should be your right. You're the one who has to pay these people and be around these people all day, every day. If you have something against gay people, I think you should be able to fire them because they're gay, and hire a straight person instead. Whatever. Someone still gets a job, and someone still doesn't.

Am I crazy for thinking this? Give me your opinion and why.

Hey, I'm 15 right now, but I was wondering if there are different laws about age of consent if you are dating someone who has just recently turned 18, compared to a 16 year old dating a 42 year old.

I only ask because the company picnic is coming up. I think if I have an event to keep their interest they woun't be running off into the woods and doing the same thing that happened last year. Almost 9 months later a good part of my staff was out on maternity leave.

Not all of them. Only about a half a dozen. At first, to be honest, it was rather flattering but now I can't get from my parking spot to my office without being groped, teased and generaly confronted with their demands for gratification.

They are all very attractive women, well, one man too, and good employees. I suppose I could fire them but with the labor laws the way they are, I fear a wrongful termination suit

I want to END welfare completely and replace it with CCC and government work programs. This will save the government money, get a lot of work done and make people earn their checks.
We need to also get these people to "do the work Americans won't do) this will keep the jobs unavailible to illegals.
We need to STOP blamming the "man" for our problems and get off our asses and make things happen.
The government should make a public verbal apology for slavery.
Unemployment insurrance should stay but you should have to prove you are searching for jobs to get the check.
We need to end black history month because it only keeps hatred alive and is not fair to all the other races.
But we should be learning history of all cultures and making new history ever

HI I was just curious about the legal options concerning personal letters. I run a website where I write to serial kilers and post their letters on the web for everyone to see and read ( http://www.Write-A-Murderer.com ). I have 2 questions.

First off I have recieved several emails from people over what the inmates wrote about them. This is nothing I wrote and the letters are all scanned directly into the computer just as they wrote them. Is there any legal action the people can take against me since I wasn't the one who wrote the letters I just scanned them in for everyone to read. Also is there anything stopping me from posting the emails they sent me on the web as well for everyone to read?

Secondly, I have recieved letters from inmates that were not sent to me but to someone else who copied them and then forwarded the copies to me. They are now mad that I posted these on the website as well is there any laws against posting these?

One thing that shocks me is that most Americans I know are unaware that when in a foreign country, they are bound by the laws of that country despite being US citizens. After telling them this, the very next thing they do is complain about how stupid that is. I know women who have been to Saudi Arabia and were mad that they had to wear veils, saying "as an American I shouldn't have to wear a veil, that's an insult to the ideals of my country". I'm sorry, but when in Saudi Arabia, you aren't in the United States. You could say "oh, you don't know, you're a man". Even though I'm a man, I have been to countries where I had to follow laws I did not like. In Mexico, I cannot say a thing about Mexican politics or else I can be deported, because only Mexican citizens may participate in the politics of Mexico (I wish we had a similar law in the United States). But anyway, why do Americans think they should be above local law, but expect foreigners to follow our law when they come here?

Madison and his adult son lived in a house owned by Madison. At the request of the son, Marshall painted the house. Madison did not authorize the work, but he knew that it was being done and raised no objection.
Madison refused to pay Marshall, arguing that he had not contracted to have the house painted.
Marshall asked his attorney if Madison was legally liable to pay him. The attorney told Marshall that in their state several appellate court opinions had established that when a homeowner allows to be done on his home by person who would ordinarily expect to be paid a duty to pay exists. The attorney stated that, on the basis of these precedents, it was advisable for Marshall to bring a suit to collect the reasonable value of work he had done. Explain what the attorney meant by precedent and why the fact that precedent existed was significant.

My husband has a child by another woman. They had the child support set at a certain amount which left us with money left over for the necessities and that's pretty much it 2 years ago. Ever since he got out of the marine corps he hasn't been paid as much and this is killing us. We lost our duplex cause we couldn't pay rent, sold our car, we're living with my mother and I'm 8 months pregnant. The mother agreed that it should be lowered but is taking no action and leaving us with 400 bucks a month to live on, which is less than what she gets. We've been selling as many things as we can, he's been doing as much side work people are willing to pay him for. I'm so scared that when the baby is born in a month we won't be able to take care of him. Is there anything we can do to speed up the change, or are we stuck waiting on her to do something?

I believe that these plants are good for pain, cancer, and other areas. Some will argue there are already medications there, I argue that the medications that are there are expensive. Some cancer and aids medications cost big bucks, these cannabis plants can be grown cheap. I am not saying make it legal like a pack of tobacco. I think that it has some good qualities though.
I am courious to know your view?
