How can Yahoo control those that use the report button out of spite? I enjoy being here..but when my answers can be censored on a whim I feel like my rights are being violated. Doesn't anyone monitor this site?

I understand if I've got a bubonic plaque shot with a lifetime warranty that it is credible potection against that disase for the lenght of my lifetime or your lifetime.
But what if the "lifetime" of a merchandise runs out within a short of expectation, and you have accepted the manufacturers warranty on their product on the lifetime of that product?
Should'nt be "lifetime warranties on industrial product being outlawed as attempt of defrauding the consumer, and as such is a pelf booty?

I'm up-to-date on child support, was a good bio. father, just haven't visited in a year due to my ex- & her husband being across the country(but I do call& send gifts).

My ex- has had sole custody for a year now and I want to move on with my life. My ex- & her husband ( he makes 100k per year, I make $40k) agreed to let me terminate my parental rights and let him adopt the kids. We are all for this even the kids. Of course, money does play into this somewhat but I can't tell the judge this (child support is $972 plus$368 medical per mo.) Me, my ex-, and her new husband have always communicated easily and they say that I can stay at their house anytime after this is all over to visit the kids. However, even if this were not the case I would be okay with this. The kids are 11 and 13.

What reasons can I write to the judge to make this go through? I'm willing to lie to get this over with.

For all of those people who are anti-gun ownership or believe in strongly restricted ownership...I don't see why you believe this. Please, someone explain to me why you would want to be an advocate of this. All it is is another restriction to our freedoms. Do you really want less freedom? It makes no sense to me why someone would believe in this.

And don't even try to tell me that it will make for a safer society, because it wont. If no one has guns, what is to keep a thief from robbing someone's house or a mugger from jumping someone on the street? Just like nukes...the more there are, the safer the world will be. If you dont believe this, you need to realize that there hasn't been a large war since the atom bomb was invented.

I have a neighbor who is building a UGLY, and I mean U-G-L-Y shack in his backyard, and although it's location is up to code, it is still very close to the property line (10 feet) It will surely lower my property value & I'll lose money! I called the city code enforcer and if they can't legally help me, the person I talked to said I could file a civil suit. What kind of civil suit would fit this scenario?

For the most part I have no problems with my roommates; However, more and more frequntly my roommates have been inviting their friends over to smoke a substance that involves THC. The smell fills up the dorm and I can't stand it. I'm afraid that they'll eventually get caught and I'll be liable for their violation. I have no other problems with them, but this just has to stop. I don't want to have to squeal on them. What should I do??????

To make this mich easier, I don't want to turn this into a debate. I would like you to put a YES or a NO next to each statement I will give. I have posted many other questions where you explain your reasons but I'm not interested in that over here:

1. I think that prostitution should be federally legal and they deserve the same rights and benefits as any employee. -

2. I think marijuana should only be accessible for medicinal reasons and prescribed by physicians. I do not support its recreational use. -

3. I think that marijuana should be federally legal; both for medicinal and recreational use. -

Thanks

Me and my wife, around a month ago had a substance abuse problem. Since then we have been clean. And are trying to fix our outstanding debts. I recently have been reading on here about how serious bad checks are. And having 10 out ourselves I'am scared my wife or me may open our door to a police officer one day soon. I'am trying to find ways to pay these bad checks off asap. I just want to know if most places will send a return check to a prosicuting attorney and if so will you recieve notice in time to pay before being arrested. I' am serious about paying my debts back and the last thing I need right now is for my wife to go to jail.

Why is NYC considering giving illegal aliens drivers license, under the guise of “at least they can learn the rules of our road…

Isn’t that like saying, “since we can’t keep firearms out of the hands of felons, I guess we need to teach them how to shoot accurately”?

My brother in law was pulled over for a broken tail light and was humiliated by the cop. The cop told him to get out and leave his van and made him walk to work, then added that if he tries to drive again he will nab him again! He is Mexican.,very dark and has a pretty heavy mexican accent. I believe he was discriminated against. The officer wrote 1000 bond on the ticket and checked NO valid license. The plates and van are registered legally here in Illinois. The Arizona license is valid and doesn't expire for a couple of years.
