People are always bashing the idea of same-sex marriage, saying that marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman. End of discussion. Yet if marriage is this ideal of perfect and forever bond, why is it that divorce is still allowed and at such a high rate? There are millions of people who are married two or more times. Honestly, marriage should be an option for anyone, regardless of their sexual orientation. It doesn't have to take place in a church where I do understand and respect a person's religion. But everyone is entitled to their piece of happiness and people like Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney should stop trying to please the conservative portion of our nation. We are living in a new and modern world, where so much more is now acceptable compared to 100 years ago. What do you think?

And when I tried to do this the ladies at the office told me that I could no longer make a name change through the Social Security office because the laws have changed and that was a while back ago. I wanted to go back to my Maiden name. I'm now thinking that this might not be the truth and that I can still make a name change through the Social Security Office. Can you please tell me if I can or not? Thanks a lot and God Bless.

Do they keep going and call another one out or what.. Please help, thanks

In my opinion, the police had no right to violate him. He was simply asking a question? What is wrong with America? We will sure watch the death of Anna Nicole Smith all over the t.v. like its the most important thing in the world. But we wont care about our fellow citizens rights being violated, and we'll take our cameras out and record as if its so cool that this man was beggging for help. And no one aids him like hes not even there!!!!!!!!!!!
Wake up America!!!!!!!!

It seems that he still leads a lavish lifestyle, even after spending a fortune on legal fees and owing millions for his civil suit. He doesn't work, goes golfing all the time, wears designer suits and is getting fat.

I work in an office and do a lot of typing. I wear support gloves which help cut down on the pain in my hands. I asked my new employer if they would buy me a new pair as needed, since they last about 3-4 months. They said no, because then they'd have to buy them for everyone who would need them. I can't afford the gloves, and they are not available by prescription. What other options do I have? Am I right to be angry?

The sad reality is that when a cop "tasers" an unarmed person who has at one time done cocaine or crystal meth the odds of their survival is not likely.

When the county coroner comes on TV to tell us all that the "suspect" died because they had at one time or another done drugs... instead of honestly saying that the police taser killed them... it creates a vigilante justice system in our society where the police are acting as judge, jury and executioner.

Would you agree with this?
Do you feel that having done drugs in the past is reason enough to not have your safety be a concern in American law enforcement?

Currently in the process of being charged with 3 misdemeanors:

M1: Theft By Unlawful Taking
M1: Criminal Conspiracy Aiding
M3: False Reports

On trial date, I arrived to check in and was told that I was not on the list for that particular day (although my court papers stated otherwise). I was then told to go home, that I would be contacted by mail or telephone within 2 weeks with an updated court date.
THAT WAS 6 MONTHS AGO!
Absolutely no mail or call from them since. I haven't moved and they know my contact information.
My probation officer (from previous case) gave me a URL to a website his office uses to do warrant/criminal history checks.
I've checked this site every day now for 6 months and it says as it did before. It continues to show active and that my most recent court date was the day I was turned down!

So, my question is:
If the court continues to "forget" about my case for XX amount of months, can it be thrown out?

(Unique situation, wishful thinking)
