Ok, here is the situation. My sister in law came here to the U.S. with her two children after marrying this guy. This guy basically wanted a slave, and not a wife so she left him. She and the kids are here on conditional visas. She now wants to be independent, and go work in California (We're in FL). She wants to leave the children with us (2 girls, 3yrold, and 11 yr old). We are fine with this, but I know we'll need some kind of legal guardianship of the children. Since the children are here on immigrant visa do we an immigration lawyer or could another lkind of aywer do this for us?

Postcode profiling-as soon as we give our addresses, we reveal an awful lot about ourselves. Incomes: voting habits, etc
Computer software is now so sophisticated that call centres are using it to answer calls in the order of their preference. Perhaps because of our incomes and the likelihood of purchasing goods.
Can you please give me your views on this?
Thank you.

If yes, to what extent? Do you think hairstyles commonly thought/known to be worn by people of particular races should be a consideration? Do you think exceptions should be given to "ethnic hairstyles" to avoid accusations of discrimination? Do you think that employer preference, with regards to hairstyle, is ever an indication of racial discrimination?

I'm in the middle of answering a question concerning this issue, so I'm just curious as to what y'all think about the matter.

To what extent (if any) do you think an employer should be permitted to dictate hairstyles worn by employees?

Explain your opinions.

Thanks.

I am a senior in high school. I've always had trouble in school. Never with my academics, but mainly the rules. I feel as though i have no rights when i go to school. As if they could make any rule they wanted to on the spot and i would have no choice but to correspond to it or i would suffer the consequences. I'm not talking about normal rules like no fighting etc. for example.

1. The students at my school are expected to wear an I.D badge around their neck every day. If you are to lose this I.D then you have to buy a new one or you have to pay for a temporary one. If you cannot pay when it comes time to graduate you will not graduate. When did it become okay to charge students in public school so the school could profit?
2. If i don't turn my homework in the day it is due i have to spend FOUR HOURS of my time after school one day. Since when did it become okay to force students to go to school extra time?? Some of us can't do that we have jobs!

I'm trying to create a game that involves using characters that have been copyrighted by large companies such as Mario from Nintendo, Konata from Kyoto Animation, and Haruko from Gainax. I will not sell copies, claim ownership to these characters, or otherwise profit from this project. I will give credit to each character's respectful copyright holder and distribute the completed game at no cost.
Will this violate any laws or regulations in the US? If so, what should I do to not violate US law and regulation?

My friend told me he saw an article in the newspaper about how someone is Wisconsin got burned at the stake for heresy on Monday because they supported "an enemy of the green bay packers". Apparently the Green Bay Packers played against Philedelphia on Sunday, and this person was caught wearing a Philedelphia jersey in public, so he was found guilty of Heresy and was burned at the stake! I asked to see the article but my friend said he already threw the newspaper away. Is this true?

My friend's brother has been looking for job for a while and he has gone for lots of interview, however, he did not get any of them. The interviewers usually said that they are going to do a background check and let him know. My friend's brother thinks that he doesn't get the job because of the background check. The fact of the matter is that a while ago a misdemeanor case was filed against him, which was later DISMISSED/DISPOSED. Although he wasn't convicted, will this show up in background check ? Will it matter ?

Person A is murdered. Person B is at the scene. Person B is not charged with murder at the time. Person B is charged with littering at the time of the crime. The littering ticket states that 'after Person B murdered Person A, person B littered'. Person B pays the ticket. After an investigation, Person B is charged with murdering person A.

Would person B be able to stand trial for murder? When he paid the littering ticket he pled guilty to the crime listed in the complaint and therefore indirectly pled guilty to murder. It would then be impossible for him to defend himself because he had already pled guilty. Is this possible? Would it be double jeopardy?

It is considered immoral for me to steal from my neighbor Joe in order to send my kids to school, or to subsidize my tobacco crop, so how can it be right for me to do it using the government as my agent? Is it moral just because enough of us vote to take Joe's money for something we want to do? Is this "mob rule" okay for any purpose, or only if it is a "good" purpose? If so, who decides what a "good" purpose is?

You tape it with a voice recorder in person. And you are talking to the other party while you are taping. It is in case of a court case to prove a verbal agreement. If there are any Massachusetts attorneys who know for sure or anyone who can provide me with a link to the actual law, it would be appreciated.

My son's father mailed me complaint for visitation papers claiming they were from domestic relations and when I took the papers in to ask about them I was told they were not mailed from their office. The following week I get papers from domestic relations telling me that my son's father is petitioning to have his child support terminated and his arrearages expunged. I don't know whether to just sign the paper allowing that to happen, or if I should go to court and try to fight him and the system. It seems wrong for him to be relieved of his parental responsibilities, but the fact that he's going to be incarcerated for the forseeable future and I don't really want him to be a part of my son's life anyway, why shouldn't I? If I allow this to happen, then I can go file for full custody of my son and once I get it, he won't have rights at all. His name isn't even on my son's birth certificate. Please help! I don't know what to do.
