I heard a few months ago that Sen. Villar has authored a certain House Bill which aims to put 'label' on imported toys. I want to write about it in our campus paper but I can't find exact reference regarding it. I tried searching it in the internet but got no results. Was the 'toy bill' just a hoax? Any link to the bill is greatly appreciated.

i think the jury system sucks. its a pain in the *** to have to lose out on a days pay to drive downtown and pay $30 to park and then go sit in a room all day to see if youre going to be picked. then to sit throuh a long drawn out trial. and who says a jury would be any fairer than a judge anyway? most of the time you got 12 people that dont want to be there anyway and will say anything just to get the damn thing over with. wouldnt it be better to have it set up like the peoples court where the judge asks the questions then leaves for 5 minutes and comes back with a decision, and its all done in a half hour ?

I had acne leaser treatment with celibre medical group for almost a year. I paid a total of 3900 thru financing. i signed all the consents. on my second of almost 8 or more visits i already verbalized my doubts with the services and true enough the treatment after 1 year did not work. I kept telling them that my condition is not improving and that my condition is getting worse.if i did not sign up thru financing i could have easily decided to stop the treatment and I also verbalized this concern with them. Given the fact that I complained a lot and obviously the treatment is not working they continue with the treatment plan always telling me about the lag effect of laser treatment. At the end of the laser treatments the medical director himself said that it may not be the treatment of choice for me , prescribed oral antibiotics and offered another treatment for free but it also did not work which I think was done iadequately given that its only a bonus treatment

Exactly what is an "impartial " and "ethical" investigation of a crime conducted by a police officer?

Should a police officer recuse himself/herself from an investigation when he/she has personal and business ties to the alleged victim? The police officer I am referring to soon discovers his/her own personal information becomes part of the investigation. Isn't it impossible for him/her to remain impartial especially when the alleged victim gives this police officer reason to believe he has "suffered" from the alleged crime and it becomes part of the investigation?

Is there a code of ethics that governs law enforcement to conduct an impartial investigation?

i ride with my friend a lot and she has alcohol in the trunk of her car. I don't drink and have never drank but she does. We are both underage. if we were to get stopped and checked, would we both get in trouble even if the alcohol wasn't mine and i was not driving? I just want to make sure, because there is a law in sc that states that if the persons in the vehicle are riding in the car with possession of alcohol we all get fined.

PS: i've never seen it and i don't drink it i just know its in the trunk of her car and i ride with her all the time.

OK, here is the story.. I left my previous employer in August of 2007. From August till now, I have been looking for a place of employment.. Lucky for me this unbelievable company gave me an offer letter.. I signed it and faxed it to them yesterday.. However, the offer letter is contingent on a background check.. Now my problem.. Because I was embaressed I left my company, I lied on my resume and wrote that I was still presently there.. I received an email from HR of this new company asking first if I gave notice to my previous employer because they needed to do an employment verification.. So what does that exactly mean and how should I answer?? Should I tell HR yes I have given my notice and they can go ahead and confirm I worked for my previous employer?? How do they actually confirm?? I actually worked for a world-wide company.. Will they call my previous employer's HR Department?? Will my offer be rescinded?? What kind of information can my previous HR give out???

The US has ignored the UN on so many major issues even going against a vote of 184 to 4.
Does the US have any right to be a member of the UN and does the UN have any power or right to expel the US.
It appears with the contempt the US shows to the UN that they beleive they are the UN. One couontry One vote and the US is that country.
How is the world to have any respect for either when neither of them listens to the rest of the world.

making a mistake, and charging a customer too little. I work in a restaurant, and we have an archaic method for computing totals on checks. Lots of mistakes are made as a result. The manager circles the mistake in a brightly colored marker and posts it for all to see. If you don't pay up by the next pay period, it gets taken out of your paycheck.
Also, if you are working the cash register, and your drawer is short, the managers will autmatically take it out of your check.
I live in Florida, if that makes any difference...

Now it does say violent and unlawful but during the 1950s the CPUSA's constitution forbid using unconstitutional means to take power and that didn't stop McCarthy from throwing them in jail. Even the military allows membership in "totalitarian" organizations as long as no uniform is worn at events. Its 2008 and "liberal" New York prevents Communists, Anarchists, and any revolutionaries from becoming lawyers!

They even use the term "loyalty oath" right out of McCarthy!
