Eventhough you don't have something with you to defend yourself vs. the robber in a likely enclosed street. Or please hand in your experience with this kind of situation if there is any.

I'm in a position where I need to hire movers to move items out of my home into a truck parked right outside my home. I know it's not smart to hire unlicensed movers, but due to time constraints I may have to.

Is there some type of waiver I can have them sign so they can't sue me if they hurt themselves??

I thought they were here to just help the poor people out? Why are they uppity over SCHIPP when 1 in 4 Americans with disabilities smoke, compared to 1 in 5 non-disabled.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21119515/

So, they are not only attacking and taking away the rights from smokers but, also from the disabled? I though Germany tried that already?

I don't smoke or drink, and when I do drink is for just fun with a friend family! Drinking is more dangerous then smoking marijuana, but I don't understand why smoking it is illegal? That's stupid!

I heard that in the State of Ohio if you aren't old enough to legally drink (21) .. but you marry someone who is 21(or older) .. then you can legally drink in the State.
Is that true?

I want this permanent position hands down. It's job that instead of working 8-5, it's actually a going to be graveyard. I have a 2nd job that I work 2 nights a week during those hours and that extra money helps me to pay rent. I'm already in the process of being permanent but when I was told of my position I was told I'd be working days. How can I fairly and nicely discuss my situation with my big boss so that she understands that I want this position but need to change the hours a little.Should I quit my 2nd job and get something in the daytime? I need this job, it's secure, and it pays well. I just don't want them to think I'm not interested because I am very interested. Was telling one of the bosses. I told one of my bosses the situation, and that I just moved..so I need to keep the hours of my 2nd job, but I don't want them to think I'm not making them the priority. Please help me. I have to report tommorow.

murder is horrible and sometimes rape goes with it, yet rape alone(which also is an atrocious crime) does not seem as insidious as murder.

We were plaintiffs in a lawsuit and the case was settled. A portion of the monies were paid to us upfront. The second portion of the settlement was a Consent Judgment signed by the defendant whereby they also agreed by consent to pay a set sum of money every year for the next 7 years with interest. We are concerned whether or not the defendant will pay early next year or years thereafter. Is there any thing we can do to protect our future interests before they default or only after?

What measures can be taken, and when, once there is a consent judgment in our favor? We are currently tracking all their public information and they haven't left town and still have the same job, but don't know about financial assets. Should we be doing something now in advance of an expected default?

Is it not ethical that a country give equal rights to all its citizens irrespective of minority or majority factor so that all live on equal status? The deprived class may be given time bound privileges to bring them up to the level of all so that a socialistic society emerge in a country. Distinguishing citizens by religions? Is it not unjust and therefore nasty?

He is in jail for attempted murder of a police officer because he supposedly rammed a police car with his truck which was stolen. He says he wasnt trying to kill the officer he was trying to get away and didnt clear the back of the vehicle. His charges state 2 other officers as witnesses but in the narrative written by the police officer he supposedly attempted to kill it states that those two officers didnt join the story till after they would have seen the crime. (timeline doesnt add up...he being followed by cop,hits his brakes, cop slides past him, he tries to flee, hits cop car, cop takes off in front of him radios for help, gets off at next exit with my brother "chasing him", my brother stays on the highway, cop gets back on the highway and is joined by the other officers, my brother pulls over and surrenders...) In the charges it states that there are 2 witnesses to the ramming of the police vehicle and the same two witnesses for the attempted murder charge.How does that add up?

I know for a lot of plaintiffs, lawyers will work on a contingency. If you are the defendent, can a similar arragement be made, and if so, what is this called?

I would be okay with agreeing to pay only if there is a settlement or successful outcome.

Say:

1) You're charged with a civil lawsuit
2) You have money but want to use an appointed lawyer instead of paying for you.

If you can't afford an attorney, the state provides one for you, but if you can, but don't want to pay for one, can you still use a state appointed attorney?
