When statistics show that more Americans try marijuana than Dutch people, or that people under the age of 21 abuse alcohol more here than in Europe, why do Americans still foolishly support "thou shalt not" policies that merely encourage the behavior?

Now that a better building frame reinforcing system is available, and since this reinforcing meets and exceeds Construction Codes minimums, and that building Designers and Contractors are not adopting this reinforcing system, can they be sued for negligence in the event of a building collapse that would not have occurred with this new frame reinforcing?

Isn't marriage between one man and one woman protected under common law?
Please explain your take on this....

Since marriage has been legal only between one man and one woman in the USA and laws were even enacted to illegalize the Mormon Practice of Poligamy, isn't there obvious Common Law defining Marriage as between one man and one woman in this country??

Ok, so I'm not sure how it works outside the US, or indeed in other US states, but here in Wisconsin, bars have to close at 2 am, 2:30 am on weekends, except for New Year's. I'm not sure the exact reason this law exists. Drunk Drivers? Noise disruption? Religious doubletalk? Antiquated carryover from prohibition? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, just wanting to know what is the law for transporting seeds across state lines, perhaps to plant them. Perhaps without a bit of the owner's permission, or on state property.

I work for a small company in CA. Before this, I worked for a short time at a big co. making a great hourly rate but I felt out of place. When I heard about my current job, I went for the interview, and the owner told me everything I wanted to hear. She said that she'd match the hourly pay I was getting at the big company. The catch was, I had to quit that job right away and start the new company. I did it.
Now when I came here, there was 5 regular employees: all women. At first everything seemed fine, until about 3 weeks in, when I was about to face a couple weeks with 10+ mandatory OT. I asked the owner what the procedure was for OT. She told me that I was now going to be paid salary & if I wanted hourly it'd be $2 less/hr. Next she got disrespectful, yelling at me and then picking fights with another girl, saying we gossip about her (a lie) and almost fired her for no other reason. She acts crazy. I wish I could quit but I need unemployment, & I don't have any job offers yet. Help!

So, my hub works as a social worker for a foster parent agency and he just started culinary school. His company has a policy that says that he has to have corporate approval before starting school. He spoke with his boss and she said it would be fine for him to go to culinary school. Well, now according to his boss, corporate says it isn't okay and he now has until Nov. 30 to find a new job or he will be fired. Can they do this? His school schedule does not interfere with his work schedule and his boss said it would be okay. My husband would have never joined this $46,000 program if he thought he would lose his job over it.

I leased a double in June of 2007. I am convinced that the other half of the double residents are breaking in through my attic. You see, my next door neighbors are a set of two boys who are in their senior years of high school with their single mother working 3rd shift. I come home sometimes at 2 in the morning (due to my job) and they are all sitting the porch, smoking pot, making sexual comments to me and so on. I am a single 23 year old girl living alone with a great guard dog. After taking her for a walk one day, a came home to my front door being cracked open and my dog's hair standing on her back as we entered my home. She led me straight to the hall closet, which has the attic enterance in it. When I opened it; the attic door had been opened and dust particles and debris were remaing on my clothing hanging in the closet. Now, on top of this, I awoke to the loudest gun-shots I have ever heard at 5:30am one morning, having to call 9-1-1. It was way too close to home!

Sorry Mr. Vijay.M -Lawyer, We have fought a similar case of violation of MRTP Act but the Shipra Autforities influenced and bought the law and judiciary and eventually we lost the case.In fact Judiciary is the most Corrupt segment in India as also corroborated by the ex chief CBI - Mr.Vittal.
So lawyer or no lawyer , we stand no chance of getting a fair deal in this country and we have to live with this till another alternative is found out for which we shall strive.

During the Civil War, Union soldiers captured by Rebels were taken to Andersonville, a prison camp with extremely harsh conditions. There was a group of Union soldiers called the Raiders who robbed and murdered other Union soldiers. With their conditions of having no food or water, should they still have retained moral judgement?

So you take a pill that has a prescribing information sheet that mentions "potential side effect: stroke", and you are in reasonably good health with regular checkups. Then you start taking drug-X on a regular basis, then a couple weeks into taking the pill, whammo, you have a stroke.

Can you sue the manufacturer of the drug, or does that prescribing information sheet protect the manufacturer from lawsuits?

Seriously, some of these payments judges order men to pay is nothing short of extortion! Ricky Williams has to pay $4,200 a month to the mother of one of his children, plus pay life insurance and hold $500,000 in an account for him. RIDICULOUS! All for having a kid? What a joke!

Men have been complaining for years about this system. I've met guys who were about to go to prison for not paying support, even when they're looking up and down for jobs! That's just wrong!
