in a few days i have to do a debate on whether or not the Constitution was meant to only benefit the elites or help everyone.

my side is in support of the elites

does anyone know of any documents or evidence or even comments the other side might make because we have to counter what the say.

so i was just wondering if anyone knew any good arguments their side could make

I worked at a gas station a few months ago. They own three gas stations, including a Citgo. I live in Augusta, Georgia. Many nights they made me work by myself, I would work about 37 hours a week.. when I was training one girl we had a gas drive off, they took it out my paycheck. If a drawer was $5 short, they took it out my paycheck. They made me pay them $8 for drinking a fountain drink before they'd give me my last paycheck. We closed at 10 Pm I had paperwork they wouldn't pay me past 10PM though but wanted the paper work done. We weren't allowed to take breaks and I worked anywhere from a 9-10 hr. shift. They let us have a tab, so I wasn't mad about them taking that out my paycheck but they would take every little shortage out and yell at me all the time. They never showed me how to see if I was short sometimes they wouldn't tell me I was short just take it out. So about 37 hours = $50 paycheck. I want compensation, just not sure if this was legal or how 2 go about it?

My car was towed last night from a private lot. While I did end up paying I'm wondering if I could've demanded and got the car back forcing them to pursue other routes to collect from me (ie bill me, collection agency, small claims etc).

Is there a law that says that history teachers have to teach us certain things and not just biased material? I'm from the US and my history teacher does not and refuses to teach us anything but US History and our State history. Is that illegal? (I'm from Washington.)

Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, is a psychedelic tryptamine that humans produce NATURALLY from their pineal gland located in the center of your brain, it's the cause of dreaming at night, If we didn't produce this we would go crazy, for some unknown reasons.
but it is ILLEGAL to possess DMT even though it is produced by most living things, grass contains it as well.
extracting it is illegal even though it is NOT an addictive substance, and has NO withdraw or danger symptoms.
so guess what America u better turn yourselves in, for committing a felony, what ur brain produces is more illegal than heroin.
guess everyone who supports this law better lock themselves up as well.

what do you think?

Does anyone agree that this country is sinking fast under a weight of political correctness, ridicules health & safety restrictions, crime and biased media? It never ceases to amaze me at the plain stupidity of so called "health & safety" regulations imposed by the government through "agencies" outlawing conkers and step ladders, whilst we have a plague of idiots who like to call themselves "chavs" going round the streets beating, raping, robbing and generaly returning this country to the age of the ape? Britain lets a pedophile walk FREE yet criticises a fireman who jumped into a river to save a drowning woman? Where are the laws and monies that should be being used to protect children and reduce crime, non existant. Look at what happened to poor Sophie Lancaster, murdered for what she was wearing! Someone someplace has their priorities in a place I do not care to mention

I shop a lot in VS online store, yesterday I received email: "FREE Panty + $15 OFF = One Hot Holiday! Ends Dec. 6." That coupon is valid for stores only. So I went to the store to get my bra with $15 discount. I spend close to an hour choosing my things. Then I get to the register and give them my printed coupon and they confused looking at it, asking me if I work for VS, because in coupon under bar code says "Store associate use only". I don't work for VS. And they did not accept my valid coupon. Also under coupon discription for what its valid it says".. Associates of VS and affilidates are not eligible" that contradicts the reason they didn't accept my coupon. I have store manager written her name and "Not accepted" and date on coupon paper. So what should I do?

analzyethe style of language that Stossel employs to engage his reader's attention. Address why that style was employed.

Guns are dangerous.But myths are dangerous too. Myths about guns are very dangerous because they lead to bad laws. And bad laws kill people. " Don't tell me this bill will not make a difference, "President Clinton, who signed the Brady Bill into law.

Sorry. Even the federal government can't say it has made a difference. The Centers for Disease Control did and extensive review of various types of gun control: waiting periods,registration and licensing and bans on certain firearms. It found that th idea that gun control laws have reduced violent crime is simply a myth.

A night doesn't go by that I don't have an argument with some group who wants to overload my cab. For a while I said yes to six passengers, but than I got, "Why not take seven?"

I stopped allowing the overloading, only to be faced with threats and accusations that I was trying to cheat my passengers. In recent months, there have been growing reports around the world of drivers being beaten to death by drunks for refusing to overload their cabs.

Do you think that cab drivers should be willing to overload their cabs, regardless of what the local laws are on taxi cabs?

Due to our landlord's unwillingness to efficiently fix (well, fix at all) issues in our apartment, my roommate and I are seriously considering withholding December's rent until these issues are fixed.
One is a septic tank that continuously leaks septic gases into our apartment. They've jerry-rigged it closed but the smell is still there.
The other is a huge hole in our kitchen ceiling caused by water splash-over from the upstairs neighbor's bathtub.
The landlord and his fix-it man have been informed repeatedly about both issues and have come to look at them.
Nothing has been done to fix it completely. So, what legal routes do we need to go through to inform him that we plan to legally withhold rent to force these repairs and how do we go about legally withholding rent? Thanks!
