I posted this query Friday and today found that the question AND all accompanying answers had been DELETED!, and I was issued a Violation Notice to boot!!! And NO, there were none of My usual sexual innuendos present; ONLY the simple QUESTION. Those of you who know Me already know that I JUST DON'T QUIT!!! I want to know EVERYTHING I can, because Knowledge IS Power, and I am not afraid to admit My few intellectual shortcomings if I encounter them.
So, WHO can tell Me:

WHAT IS an "Anchor Baby", precisely???

Many consider Thomas Jefferson a hypocrite because he wrote the DOI, which included "All men are created Equal", but owned slaves...What is some evidence of Jefferson's TREATMENT OF HIS SLAVES or his STATEMENTS MADE TOWARD AFRICAN AMERICANS living in the U.S. at the time that would debunk arguments that claim he IS a hypocrite??
Thanks for your advie.

My neighbor has had contractors at her house for the last two months. They have repeatedly parked on my pavement after I have asked them to move their trucks. Now my pavement is coming apart on the spot they had their trucks. I even called the cops once to have them move their truck and to stop all the noise all hours of the night (last week they were using power tools at 3:30 AM. Can I sue them for the damage to my property? And how do I prove it was them?

I am considering a move to another state for employment. I am looking for employment in Texas but I am open to anything in the southwest. I have custody of two children. How do I get these kids out of my state without my ex husband suing me for custody? I have a parental plan and it says you must notify the other parent if you move, but it does not say anything else. As a precaution I was considering buying a small house in Texas if that would make me a resident of that state. Any ideas on this one?

Are there any public groups that monitor such things?

The details: He has 2 children by a woman who he paid child support to (he always paid on time etc...) Two years ago he moved back in with her in an attempt to "work things out." Things did not work out, so one month ago he left her again. She called the police and had him arested for non-payment of child support, for the two tears they lived together - even though he was the only person in the household with a job, and therefore paid ALL the bills for those 2 years (and prior to that had never missed a payment)
He was arrested and released the same day (2 weeks ago). And was given a court date for today...
So he went to court, and this is what they did to him:
He is incarcerated INDEFINETLY. The only way he can get out of jail is to pay around $3500 in back child support that he does NOT owe (patial payments are not accepted). He is not allowed work release even though he has a regular local job.

I am on probation. I am just about finished. My record is clean. This is the question. I leve in a guesthouse that is on the property of another tenant. When my PO comes to check me out she has to cross the other tenants property to get to my door. She calls me by phone and I go out to escort her past the other tenants property and dog.
Her job is to check on me.
The other night late, she showed up. I escorted her in. There were two of them. One came right to my door with me. The other walked past my door and out of her way to peek into my nieghbors bedroom window. There are no curtains but the window does not face the street. I said; she is a snoop. She said "yes I am" The other PO said "where were you?" What is my legal position? She is abusing her access to my apartment to spy on innocent people. The other tenant saw her. When she left he came and asked who that was. I told him. He said if she does it again I will not let her on my prope

I don't know the specific laws, but if a company issues a personality test or "integrity test" as a pre-employment screening or as part of an application process, doesn't it follow that the applicant should be allowed to know how they scored on the test?

Most psychologists and psychometrists agree that the results should ONLY be interpreted by a clinically trained psychologist anyway.

So if a person has a right to know why they have been turned down for a job, then they should be allowed to view the results of a psychological test they took for a company as a condition of employment - right?

The company I work for has a network for all of these different people.
› Ability Network
› African American Network
› Asian Network
› GLAS
› Hispanic Associates Network
› Military Network
› Parents at Work
› Women's Network
But none for me. Is this right? Is it ok for my demographic not to be represented. I'm fine with these associates having their groups. But I feel excluded. Am I not entitled. I feel I could be passed over for promotion, what if my manager is a member of one of these groups and finds out I'm not. Maybe I won't be seen the same way. What do you think?

Okay a few days ago i started an ebay buisness with paypal. I listen 100 items before i actually had them them. Everyone payed me and i have like 5000 bucks. I spent 2000 on a car and another thousand on a vocation to florida. But i was never able to get the items becasue they went away. So now all these claims are being made on my paypal about un recieved items and stuff. I buisness failed. I still had 2000 in my paypal account in which paypal took to repay everone else but im 3000 grand in the red. This looks like fraud. If i pay back the money like 100 a month can anything happen to me?

My friend was "layed off" from a job with no possibility of reinstatement. This employee had never been disciplined, never warned, he was told he was being layed off because he "showed a lack of urgency" even though his supervisor asknowledged that his work did get out on time and his quantity exceeded several other employees. He was told by another employee with the company that another supervisor and the owner of the company tried to talk his immediate supervisor into not letting him go but when he failed to listen they too got on board. Within hours of his lay off a sign was posted that they were accepting applications. Is it legal to do this to an employee? If he wasn't performing his duties to the satisfaction of his supervisor shouldn't he have been offered another position or at least counciled before this measure was taken? Basically he was fired. His supervisor did not like him and awarded his position to another employee that he got along better with.

I've got a 2007 Chevy that went that turned out to be trash. Anyway, I found an attorney and gave him my case a few months ago back on June 24 and it took him until August 25 to get a first response/offer from GM which was crap. Basically they offered me less money than my attorney would get in fees and an extended warranty. My attorney agreed that it was crap, so he rejected the offer. The thing is, from June to Aug, he never spoke with me, I always speak to his assistant and when I asked to speak with the attorney, he only promisses me that he will call me back, and NEVER does. So I called on Aug. 25 and told them that if I don't get a call back from the attorney to find out what in the hell is going on, then I'm going to find another attroney. He then called me back and told me that he got an offer from GM.....what a coincidence, they day I threaten them going to a different attorney, he calls back and gives me this shitty offer, that even he told me not to accept. Back to The waiting game again. Since Aug 25, he hasn’t gotten back to me. Is there something wrong with my lawyer or is this lemon law process normal. What should I do?
Thanks!

I work in a restaurant in Edinburgh. Recently we have been informed that due to taxi fares now being taxed we can no longer have a staff taxi home when on a night shift. When i asked the owner wasn't it the law to provide staff with a way to get home after midnight he said no. I always thought it was. Does anyone know for sure?

if you are married to someone at the time, they cheat on you and have a baby by someone other then yourself, and the blood test comes back stating that you arent the biological father of the child, does that mean that you are still the responsibility of the child? By the state of Ohio. And if so, then what happens if you were to get a divorce, is the child still your responsibility?

I will try to make this simple.
I have been getting child support from my daughter's father for 12 years now. For 7 of those years, I got $151 (he was in college) and now the last 5, he pays us $522/month.
I had another baby last year and got married (to a different man, obviously.)
Since my wedding in November, my daughter's dad has given me the hardest time about paying the support. He thinks it is up to my new husband or something. I support (from MY money, not my husband) my daughter and mother and rely on that $522 to help pay rent and groceries. He has been trying to give me $100 here, $200 there, instead of the full amount at the 1st, which is court-ordered. I let it slide a little since he just got divorced from his wife (he has infidelity issues..) and is now paying alimony and 4 more kid's support. This ex-wife doesn't have to work for a dime, and all her expenses are taken care of. Now my ex is giving me such a hard time.

I sold a house, completion in Late july however I have today had a phone message from the Estate AgentsSaying that the new owner is unhappy with some rubbish left at the property and having it removed, the bill coming to me. There were some items left which I considered useful to the property or to the new owner, I'm sorry he never saw it that way. I may have a legal obligation to compensate him however I dont feel like it and would rather force him to act through his solicitor. Which would cost him money. What advice would you give me to do this. PS yes I am a worm I'm sure. no abuse thanks.

I thought there were no strings attached to free speech. It was pointed out to me in a different question that I have asked, and was told say whatever you want, there are no strings on free speech.

If there are hate speech laws, and you can get in trouble for yelling fire in a crowded theatre, then YES there are limitations on free speech.

Your take?

I was fine with them staying with us for a short time or heck even being there when he's home. They now have a key and my roommate is completely ignoring my requests that they vacate. I live in Portland, Oregon. I believe Oregon allows individuals who are not on the lease just 6 weeks to stay if they have no intention of getting on the lease. Any info is much appreciated.
