In the US, we have a right to participate (or not) in whatever religious tradition we choose. This freedom of religion means allowing others to have their own moral code; people might have their store open for business on Sunday, or attend a mosque for worship, or drink/smoke/gamble, or write books/make movies about offensive topics, or have sexual relations outside a committed relationship, or even form a household with someone of the same-sex.

Laws should forbid things that are intrinsically, verifiably, and significantly harmful to people and/or society. Same-sex marriage, IMO, doesn't fit those criteria. Therefore, a law against it would be based primarily on religious opinion. BTW, giving rights to only traditional marriages IS THE SAME AS outlawing SSM.

Either you believe in the Freedom of Religion and therefore legally allow people to hold and practice either Christian or non-Christian values AND ALSO not legally endorse one value system over another OR YOU DON’T.

Is there any way to get out of your license not being suspended for a minor in possession? I've read that the penalty is one year, I was planning to move back home to Nevada in January but cant do so without a drivers license. Also my current drivers license is Nevada issued, could this have any implications.

I have a misdemeanor on my record and failed to disclose it on my notary application. The SOS found out and revoked my license. Do you know what I should expect tomorrow? How should I prepare myself for the hearing? Would you happen to know what my chances of having my commission reinstated are? Thanks for your help!

For example, if there was a murderer whom everyone knew was guilty, but a key piece of evidence was thrown out, and therefore the jury would not be able to convict. Why does the government allow this even when it is obvious that the defendant is guilty?

Man in his mid 30's works with an overweight woman (in this case, the woman has had to have a special chair ordered to fit her rather large carriage).

So, apparently duing a meeting, there was discussion of accidentally bumping cars in the parking lot (backing in, putting a car in gear and letting it roll...etc)

Well, this woman's car hit another one in the parking lot...

The man asked "well, was she in the car?"

Someone responded "what difference does that make?"

He said that "well, if she were in the car, and it rolled into another it would most likely be wrecked"

Someone told him to stop... this was IN A MEETING!

He then asked "have you ever read a physics book"...(referring to the momentum the car would gain with the large lady inside).

What would have happened at your workplace in this situation?

I would have never thought it would happen to me, but Child Protective Services invaded my home a couple of years back and took my daughter for no God given reason. I did a little of my own investigating and I found that they were trying to use my daughter in an adoption scam. I don't know what to do because I have audio tapes, written statements, etc. A lawyer won't even talk to me here in NC. Is there a lawyer that will do this case probono? Is this even grounds to sue? CPS devestated my life and I regained custody of my daughter a year later, which cost me 5 thousand in my entire savings. Now my daughter has to visit with a out of pocket therapist because she still has nightmares when they so viciously took her away that fateful night! Help?

Flipping channels I came across Rush Limbaugh and couldn't believe what an idiot he is. a caller called in that didn't agree with him and Rush acted like he was so mad that he had to count to 10 outloud and then proceded to call the guy names. He didn't have any solutions to problems but spent all his time bashing people who don't agree with him. This is not news, what is it??? No wonder people are so intolerant of each other and don't feel the need to compromise if this is what they listen to and believe is what the truth is. Aren't we all better than that???

This fence will bisect the San Pedro river, a river that is already threatened and is dry in many sections during summer. This was the second time this year that Chertoff used his authority to waive laws requiring an adequate environmental impact study prior to construction, claiming that further delays threatened national security.

I thought the main threat was from Islamic extremists, not Mexican immigrants. But maybe I missed something? The principle of waiving U.S. law for largely partisan political reasons is rampant with this lame-duck administration.

I know in mobster movies bodyguards always seem to be enforcers or security/ management of illegal activities also thus making them criminals any way you cut it but I always wondered if a person was just the drive and/ or bodyguard of a Mob boss like Al Capone would they still be criminals. I guess to me it seems silly to have security enforcement and management all intermingled like you see in the movies. My question again is if your a mob enforcer or run an illegal enterprise your breaking the law and thus a criminal but are you still a criminal if all you do is bodyguard the criminal or drive them around? Another way to look at it is if Michael jachson or the rat pack sang for the mob or in their clubs should they be listed a criminals after all the rat pack could pack a casino which likely would line the pockets legally or illegally of some gangster in the old days so would the rat pack be considered criminals for aiding & abidding or contributing to a criminal

Earlier this week, my friends and I were enjoying a friendly game of poker. One of my friends who was at this game is a girl, who I actually attempted to date a while back, before learning that she was a lesbian, and her girlfriend.

Thinking that their four tens (four of a kind) would be a winning hand, her girlfriend suggested that my friend sweeten the pot by adding that the looser would have to give the winner oral pleasure and my friend placed this bet.

I was the last one in the game at this point and believing that it was unlikely that they could beat my straight flush, accepted this bet and won this pot.

While my other friends, myself, and her wanted to settle this account immediately, her girlfriend insisted that she was too drunk and whisked her away.

I’m in NY, my ex is currently responsible for 62% of my daughters child care costs, is that based on his income alone or is it also based on my income? I ask because we’re going back to court because he owes me money for summer camp and I’m wondering if the fact that I got a raise will reduce the portion he’s responsible. Thank you in advance for you answers! =)

In the UK, new laws state that foster parents must promote same sex marriage to children. I am totally in favour of same sex marriage, but fail to see why the State should dictate how families bring up children, especially as there is no such law for non-foster families.
And how will the social workers react when Muslim foster parents refuse to promote homosexuality and same sex marriage, on their own religious grounds? Will they be exempt?

My son's father does not help me take care of my son. He does even work. I filed for child support because of this and now there's a warrant out for his arrest. I told him that I would never keep my son away from him no matter what we go through but he doesn't even take care of him. We got into an argument because he want me to take him off child support so the warrant will go away. He says that I'm a only thinking about money and not the fact the spending time with my son. Now he wants me to bring my son to his house so he can spend some time with him. But I told him he has to come here if he wants to see him. I'm uncomfortable with letting him go because of the arguments we have and i don't want him to take him one day. Here are the other reasons, He has no job, he doesn't really want a job cuz he's tryna be a rapper, he has no fixed address, i live in MD and he in VA, he sleeps at different peoples homes. He has no money, and he sometimes com pares himself to jesus! Am I wrong?

There's a story in my newspaper today about a man who rolled in front of a semi truck, was hit and killed. His friends say he was suffering from depression and suicide was the likely motive.

I've always wondered if the person who is driving the vehicle that a suicidal person decides to leap in front of can be sued or held liable for any crimes -- like manslaughter, for example.
