I was in the military before 4 weeks before I got discharged. It was an entry level separation. I usually don't claim it on my applications because I didn't actually serve I only went through training. When they run my background check can they see this and why I got discharged? Thanks in advance.

it was after my teen neighbors had a small party on their deck. all the eggs thrown was on the side of where their party was too. they threw it all on the fire escape door for the basement. what kind of kids get pleasure out of defacing a stranger's property with gross crap that gets spoiled and attracts bugs and maggots in the backyard? lol plus i have 2 dogs who are in the backkyard most of the time.

maybe it's a racism? they're all white and my family is asian. im 20 and my sisters are teenagers. eh. =( i cant shake it off. we never did anything to them. my dad doesnt want a fence. i keep telling im over-reacting. but im bi-polar and i change my mind about things a lot and get emotional when i shouldnt. heh.

the indian neighbors across the street, had their back windows broken from strangers throwing rocks. our suburban neighborhood is pretty up-scale.

While I understand there may be seasons designated for duck hunting, I don't see why that should apply to me. I have no intention of hunting them. I just want to shoot them They get in the pool and crap all over the place.

I saw this case on CNN and will run through the facts of the case.

A man and a woman are dating.

The man tells the woman that he absolutely does NOT want children.

The woman, knowing she was able to have children, told the man that she was infertile, AND that she was on the pill for regulation purposes and thus there were no worries

A month after the couple breaks up, the woman tells the man that she is pregnant and is keeping it.

The man tells the woman that he does not want to have a child, and would rather her not keep it.

The woman sues the man for child support.


The case is pending, no decision has been ruled yet. What is your opinion on the case?

I work for a large university. Our section is an off campus site. We recently got a new supervisor who is big buddies with one of the women here. The new supervisor promise this woman and another a pay grade raise. She couldn't pull it off, I suppose the people over her said no due to budget. So, supervisor told them not to count off their lunches and if they needed to leave early etc go ahead but still put down 40 hours a week.

Basically we're talking minumum of ten hours per month per person of falsified time or more (more often more, ie 25 hours worked, 40 put down) It's causing tension because we are only 13 employees and everyone knows but no one knows what to do.

Last night I went to a friend's 18th and was planning on staying designated so i could drive home afterwards. I had one beer when I arrived at 8:30pm and about 5 glasses of pineapple punch (which 5 people told me was NON ALCOHOLIC). at 2am I left and got pulled over and RBT'd and the policeman said my BAC was 0.115. I got arrested and have to go to court on the 6th of december.

Will it help in court that somebody poured alcohol in the punch without anyone's knowledge? I am only 17 and on my Provisional P1 license and have never even had a speeding fine.

I really need some advice about what to do in court etc and what would my penalty be?

As the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights reads:

"A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

My question is this: Am I the only person who see's the fact that Military is controlled by the government and that Militias, necessary at the time of writing this document, are virtually nonexistant in the context of which they were writing?

No longer having groups like the Minute Men, do we really need freedom to bear fully automatic assault rifles?

Guns in the late 1700s were muzzle loaders which weren't accurate at 30 feet. Today we have fully automatic pistols, which cost nothing to manufacture, that can be concealed under a jacket. Do people really need weapons like this to keep up a nonexistant Militia??

My son works at a resturant, someone had left their credit card so he took it from lost and found. He went and used it and purchased a very expensive computer. Anyway, it was traced back to him and the police have taken back the stolen property. He is 22 years old. The officer who wrote the report says we have to wait until the Defense Attorney (D.A) reads the report and decides what charges to file. (like if it will be a mistemeanor or a felony.) Should we get an attorney? I dont know if it matters but the computer was $2,500.

I live in LA and you wouldn't believe the people who are f*****g out of their mind here. Tonight I was walking across the parking lot of a local movie rental place. This idiot in a H-U-G-E truck see's me, we establish eye contact. He breaks for a second so I keep walking, he then proceded to drive even though I was still crossing his path. His car was so close to my body it was no more then 3 inches from my right breast. I was so angry he almost hit me!! So I open-handed slapped his big truck somewhere on the side. Still in truck he shouted at me. I ignore him and walked to the store.
When I left the store I was horrified to see that he was parked right outside waiting for me. Only when I was in my car did I notice him, still in his truck, creeping behind my parked car.Think he shouted something, I couldn't hear him.
MY QUESTION IS THIS; I WAS REALLY SCARED. IF HE WOULD HAVE COME OUT OF HIS CAR TO CONFRONT ME IN A THREATENING MANNER IS IT LEGAL TO PEPPER-SPRAY (which I carry) HIM?

A hostile witness should be treated as criminal and a hindrance to justice. Same should be the treatment for people filling false affidavits in courts. It should be made mandatory, without exception that if an affidavit is found furnishing false information the court hearing the case must forward it for a registration of a criminal complaint and direct agencies to prosecute the offender. Court must also fix a time frame for investigating agency to report back for prosecution of the false affidavit offender.

I was sprayed with pepper spray at a night club(Detroit, mi) for no apparent reason, by a security guard. I was not even in the club yet and we were negotiating a price to enter the club. I made no threats to HIM and he sprayed me. Is this sound like I will be able to sue the club? I'm sure the incident was caught on camera.

Presently, the non-custodial parent pays child support to the custodial parent. Typically, the non-custodial parent gets the child every other weekend, or in an average month, just 4 out of 30 days.

Payment seems backwards to me. Rather, the custodial parent should be required to pay the non-custodial parent to compensate them for the loss of their child.

That is how it works with everything else in a divorce. For example, if one party is awarded the house, that party must pay the other party. Same with a car, boat, or anything else. But, not with a child. Shouldn't who pays whom be reversed?

MSNBC has the show called "To catch a predator", and it's about molesters and rapists, etc trying to solicit sex online from a person they believe to be 13-15 years of age. Chris Hansen interviews the "pervs", and he finds out a lot about them, especially if they've done it before. Many of these guys are repeat offenders.

Do you believe it's an unethical practice to have a sting operation and catch it all on tape, or do you think it's ok?

Also, do you think it's weird that the show never talks about the guy who committed suicide after being on the show?

The recorded music industry has sued people for sharing the music they have recorded on behalf of hard working artists. This includes children. In Hong Kong someone went to jail for sharing movies.

It is obvious that the recorded music industry is dead, but won't admit. This is like the stagecoach companies sabotaging the railways. Railways are still here and stagecoaches are history. (History this attitude is bad business and companies doing it are going to replaced, you adpat or be destroyed).

Recently drug addled idiots in the music industry in Australia went after DJs, playing their music in clubs (promoting it).

I believe we can sue the bastards. I am thinking anti profiteering laws, anti kartel laws...pity there is no anti-stupidity laws.

Legal recommendations
