Open Question: Discuss the implications of having variation in state statutes on computer crime law?

Open Question: Can a landlord change a lease on you every month?

We live in Wyoming and have been renting at this apartment for three years. We had a lease to start with, but it was a three month and we went month to month from there. Our landlord died and now his daughter makes us sign a new lease every month, and the terms change drastically. Is this legal? Can you point me to case law or statutes, or even what terms to search? TIAThanks, I wish I could sign up for a longer lease, or vacate, but we are waiting for housing assistance to come through. It sucks but until she evicts us we are sitting ducks. more

Open Question: can someone tell me what is the point of law that i need to discuss in my answer?

Andrew is a surveyor. Four months ago he bought a 9 months old "Landmaster" car from Brenda's Garage Ltd for use in his practice. He paid £20,000 for the car. As part of the contract for the purchase of the car he was given a written guarantee in the following term: 'Brenda's Garage Ltd guarantees that, for three months from the date of purchase, it will put right free of charge any defects in the vehicle which cannot be discovered on proper examination at the time of purchase. Thereafter all work and materials will be charged to the customer.' The sales manager recommended to Andrew that he should take out the 'special extended warranty' under which for payment of £350, the car would have been guaranteed in respect of all defects for further two years, but Andrew declined. Last week the engine and gearbox seized up. The repairs will cost £5,000. Advise Andrew in light of common law and statute on the facts of the case. How would your answer differ if he also used the car for domestic purposes on the weekends? more

Open Question: Any attorney's or law students wanna climb in and tackle this??? Nevada 72 hour Mental health hold?

So I was arrested on obstruction chargers - susequently plead no contest to a 415 Peace disturbance .. time served and no probation. I was arrested approx. 4 am on a thursday morning I was held thru tuesday afternoon and then only after promting from my legal counsel did the local sheriffs dept. actually get mental health workers there to give me an evaluation. I was found sane and of no threat to myself or others. While in custody i was a model prisoner (i was in solitary confinement). just history no priors in nevada. No felonies, or prior mental health in any other state. Video arraignment friday afternoon from county jail. The judge affirmed the continuation of the mental health hold for the 72 hours and affirmed bail amount and acknowlewged it could be ;posted anytime after the evaluation and mental health release. On tuesday afternoon after the expiration of the 72 hours I was still had not been afforded bail and was forced under physical threat to be evaluated with an understanding that if i failed I would be held consqently for an unknown amount of time. time line thursday 4am(intial booking w/ hold)-friday 4am = 24 hours friday 4 am -12am saturday (end of business week) =20 hours going into weekend =44 hours served Monday 12 am - tueday 12am = 24 hours tuesday 12am - tuesday 2pm = 14 hours = 38 hours Monday thru tuesday 2 Pm (afforded oppurtunity for bail) + = 44 hours thursday thru 12am saturday = 82 hours of weekday business hours held total time in custody including weekend 48 hours = 130 hours So now knowing the time frame I have several questions 1.) Was I to be afforded oppurtunity to bail at 72 hours? 2.) what documents are to be filed by mental health if they choose not to see prisoners on weekend and how often do those documents have to be re-affirmed and re-signed (i have read that documents must be filed by mental health agencies declaring they see or don't see patients on the weekend and if they do then weekend hours are counted in 72 hour hold and these documents must be updated like quarterly or so.. any recolections?????) 3.) can a pschycological exmiation be required by the state after the 72 hour's has passed without a further court order? I know ext. of holds can be granted by the court but none were sought or affirmed by the court 4.) are 72 hour shower mandates affirmed by nevada state dept. of corrections required even for 72 hour hold prisoners. Just wonderin? 5.) on 72 hour hold prisoners what is the length of time local jails can keep you from contacting legal counsel? does the menta status and behavior of the prisoner play a role in this. WHat if the prisoner is model with no signs of aggitation or aggression? What are the rights to counsel since a criminal charge is being charged as well? I am fairly capable with researching law and code and statutes if anyone has an idea where I can find these answers I would be apprecitive. If you have answers and chapters, sections or titles of code or links I would be greatful and happy. I have 4 months left in statute to file the claim with the county for damages so any advise would be helpful. Thank you PS I have verifiable loss of income due to the extra time holding even if the weekend is to be counted out. more

Open Question: Why isn't age a defense against paying child support when a young male impregnates an adult woman?

Regardless of the boy's age at the time he had sex with a woman, whether she's allowed to keep the resulting child, or the state puts it in foster care, the bio dad (or his parents) is still obligated to pay child support. It can't really be called child molestation as most states express that as a child being penetrated sexually, which is not the case here. Most women can only be charged with having sex with a minor, which has a 5-15 year sentence, and a statute of limitations for charges to be filed. http://age_of_consent_laws_by_state.dads-house.org/ Case Law opinions that the fact that the father was the victim of statutory rape does not provide a defense to child support.

Important alert: SB 1276, the bill that seeks to remove the ban against BSL in Florida, will be given a hearing on March 4, 2010 at 1 PM in the Senate Community Affairs Committee. These identical House and Senate bills seek to eliminate language in Florida statute (Chapter 767.14) that prohibits a dog from being declared dangerous based on its breed.

Open Question: Should illegals be filing lawsuits because they are unhappy with medical services when it's all free?

WASHINGTON (AP) Supreme Court justices appeared reluctant Tuesday to allow the family of an illegal immigrant to sue U.S. government doctors personally for claims of shockingly poor medical care. The federal government has admitted negligence in doctors' poor treatment of Francisco Castaneda, 36, a native of El Salvador who died after his untreated penile cancer spread to the rest of his body. But the government's attorneys insist the doctors are immune from personal liability. A U.S. District Court in California and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed. At the high court, however, Conal Doyle, an attorney for Castaneda's survivors, seemed unable to convince the justices that the doctors are not protected from personal damage suits if they violated Castaneda's constitutional rights. Justice Stephen Breyer expressed skepticism about parts of Doyle's arguments. In cases like Castaneda's, Congress decided suing the federal government is the exclusive remedy, he said. "That's the problem for you in this case," Breyer said. Attorneys for the doctors and the federal government said Congress in a 1970 law gave immunity to Public Health Service doctors who treat immigrants in detention. Under that law, Castaneda's survivors can only sue the federal government, under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which bars jury trials and punitive damages and limits economic damages to those allowed under state law. If they sued in California, Castaneda's wife and daughter could be limited to about $250,000 in damages. A lawsuit against the doctors personally would not be so restricted. "This is not a case where there is no other relief," said Justice Samuel Alito. Doyle insisted subsequent laws have curtailed some of the immunity given the government doctors. But Justice Anthony Kennedy said immunity clauses are intended to make employees secure against both foreseen and unforeseen circumstances. "If we limit it (the immunity), then Congress would have to re-enact a statute every time there was some new cause of action?" Kennedy asked Elaine Goldenberg, the doctors' attorney. The gruesome details of Castaneda's poor treatment, which the district court described as "conduct that transcends negligence by miles," were not discussed by the high court. According to his attorneys, Castaneda was never given a biopsy to diagnose the lesions on his penis that bled and festered. He was treated with ibuprofen, antihistamines and antibiotics and was given extra boxer shorts while in detention. His penis later was amputated but by then the cancer had spread and he died. http://www2.wjtv.com/jtv/ap_exchange/special_-_medical/article/UsHighCourtWaryOfDetaineeMedicalCareSuitUs/109125/ How come these same illegals are not in Mexico filing any lawsuits over the state of affairs of the country ?

Open Question: where online can i find federal statutes to read?

im having an issue with my states laws & I know what is going on is contradictory to the federal guidelines concerning child support/birthing costs. I even found a question & answer page on Wisconsins website written by the dept of children & families stating that i'm right. But when I go to court I'll need to cite the actual statute or guideline. So where can I go to look at these? And if you happen to know what sections I should look in in regards to child support, more specifically birthing expenses, & tax intercepts that would be even better. I just really need to know where its written in the books to prove my case. more

Open Question: Do you support Nebraska cutting Medicaid to pregnant women who are illegal immigrants?

Pregnant women who are illegal immigrants no longer eligible for Medicaid By NANCY HICKS / Lincoln Journal Star Around 1,000 pregnant women who are illegal immigrants will no longer receive prenatal services through the federal-state Medicaid program, beginning in early spring, according to Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services leaders. The prenatal care issue creates a conflict between two state goals: * On the immigration front, senators have wanted to make certain that illegal immigrants do not get any public benefits, passing strong anti-immigration legislation (LB403) last year. * Because of the strong pro-life sentiment, Nebraska also has provided Medicaid coverage for all pregnant women, regardless of their immigration status. The assumption is that the prenatal coverage also is for the benefit of the unborn child, who will be a U.S. citizen once born. However, federal officials have told state leaders that federal law prohibits Medicaid coverage for people who are not documented except for emergency care. That means no prenatal care for pregnant moms. Unlike Nebraska, which provides coverage for the unborn, the federal government has no similar concept. "Unborn child is not an accepted Medicaid eligibility group," said Vivianne Chaumont, director of the Division of Medicaid and Long-Term Care, in a letter to state senators. "The only Medicaid coverage that is available for an undocumented alien pregnant woman is the cost of delivery and the cost of treating complications of pregnancy considered to be emergencies," she wrote. The federal government pays for about 60 percent of the costs of the Medicaid coverage and state taxes pay the rest. If senators want to provide prenatal care for pregnant mothers who are illegal residents, the Legislature will have to create a separate non-Medicaid program in state statute, according to the letter from Chaumont. The state is reviewing the 6,000 pregnant women receiving Medicaid-funded prenatal care, according to Kerry Winterer, CEO of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. All women who are not legally in the country will lose their benefits, likely on March 1, he said. The state estimates that somewhere around 1,000 women now receiving prenatal care are undocumented and will lose Medicaid prenatal coverage. That coverage costs around $850 to $950 per woman, according to Chaumont. Winterer said the letter was intended to bring the issue to the attention of senators, letting them know there must be a legislative solution if they want to continue the program. Several senators said they had only recently received the letter and had not had time to consider a solution. "It is still just too new and everyone has had too much going on to sit down and talk about this issue," said Sen. Tim Gay, chairman of the Legislature's Health and Human Services Committee. "It caught everyone off guard," he said. http://www.journalstar.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/article_4d571250-0626-11df-b569-001cc4c03286.html more

Open Question: What is ur opinion on this Stu Bykofsky: No matter his defense, illegal immigrant's still a lawbreaker?

ONE GREAT mandate of column-writing is supporting the little guy, but what if the little guy is in the wrong? The reaction to last month's column on immigration was overwhelmingly against illegal immigrants, who portray themselves as the little guy. And they are. The only e-mail I got in their behalf was from one of them, Harold, whose name I'm withholding because he fears being deported - even though only a tiny number of them are sent home. I will condense the points Harold made in several e-mails, as fairly as possible: He arrived 18 years ago with a one-year visa at age 15, liked it here, overstayed his visa and then had "no way" to become legal. (He could have returned home to apply, lawfully, as millions of others do.) He tried to get citizenship through marriage, but the marriage broke up and now he's a single father with a home he owns, a car, a driver's license, insurance and two kids in Catholic school. He sounds like a good American, but is he a good citizen? He sees proposed House Bill 4321 as providing amnesty to "those who follow the law, up to date in taxes (if able to pay) and have been in the country for more than five years. What's wrong with that?" (Harold didn't "follow the law" to get here and non-enforcement of the law will be a magnet for more lawbreakers.) Harold says that it takes a long time and money to get permission to get in now. (True. Others still do it. Harold opted not to.) He says that the laws were different when my grandparents came across. (Yes, but they obeyed laws of the time. Laws then permitted child labor and segregation. Now they don't. We have to obey current law.) "I did come here legal, but overstayed," says Harold. "I didn't jump the border or did anything illegal to get in!" (Harold acted just as illegally as a border-jumper.) "We're not hurting, killing, or attacking anyone!" (A common alibi, it ignores that he is here illegally. It is a selfish attitude: I want what I want for me from America, and I don't care about its rules.) "I understand some people don't like change or immigrants, but some of us, I think deserve a chance." People like me, Harold, don't dislike immigrants. We like immigrants who respect our laws. My "solution" is a statute of limitations that would give the undocumented who have been here more than five years, such as Harold, permanent residency provided they make financial restitution - but they don't get citizenship. That's their "punishment" and removes the incentive for craven politicians to cater to them. You've heard from Harold and me. Now, from readers: * I just do not get it. Why are we the bad guys - those of us who want and demand attention and adherence to the law? There is a lack of courage in our Congress . . . interest groups have them by the tail and throat. BIG money has rendered our Congress USELESS for doing the American people's business. . . . "We the people" have been disenfranchised. http://www.philly.com/dailynews/local/20100301_Stu_Bykofsky__No_matter_his_defense__illegal_immigrant_s_still_a_lawbreaker.html more

Resolved Question: How to understand this explanation about the workings of Finnish Parliament?

I do not understand the part in capital letters. An excerpt from the Finnish Parliament's official website: "... After the President has signed it, the law is published in the statute book. The President can also refuse to ratify a law. In this case it goes back to Parliament, which can either approve the law without amendments or reject it. If Parliament again approves the law, IT COMES INTO FORCE WITHOUT RATIFICATION. If it is not approved, the matter is regarded as having lapsed. ..." How can a law come into force if it is not approved? To me that sentence contradicts itself. Does anybody understand this extract? more

Open Question: Does the USA actually exist?

Home of the free and land of the brave? Really. People are afraid to walk the streets at night and so on. My goodness I was watching TV the other day and they blurred out a baby's face! What the hell? Do people have hits out on babies now? Will some long standing enemy of the baby recognize them then kill them? They were literally born yesterday! Why did they censor the baby's face? Don't all babies look the same anyways? So we are not free, there are so many laws telling us that we can't do anything. And brave, people don't give a crap about one another. What about the pledge of allegiance? The very last words "...and justice for all." What about the unsolved crimes? And people that are denied justice? What about the statute of limitations? The pledge should be changed to "...and justice for a limited time only." Or "...and justice maybe for some, if they they are allowed to have it, for a limited time only." This country seems to only exist on paper. Land of opportunity my @$$. What American dream? More like the American nightmare. The USA supports education, but employers don't look at grades. I could go on with examples but most people often tell me my details are too long so after this are just examples. Read if you wish: There was a case where a woman admitted to killing a guy, getting rid of the body, and so on, in court. In front of attorneys, and so on. No one invistigated this further. No one reported it. It was just written down. Like a decade later a cold case person looked into it, found the confession and finally threw her in jail. The guy described it as "some one dropped the ball." Really not "people acted really evil and crazy"? How do you NOT report that? There was one murder that only got 8 years in jail. I forgot the case but that's crazy. Schools in this country teach students to pass tests, not how to pass life. Schools get more funding if the kids pass the tests. This country apparently supports education. But this is abuse. There are kids that understand how to pass a multiple choice test, but can barely read and write. more

Open Question: The Disability Discrimination Act?

Help! I have to understand the Disability Discrimination Act. I understand the original legislation was the 1995 Act but then we have the updated 2005 Act. Sadly the 2005 Act (found on opsi) seems to only speak about the amendments! Well, amendments were made by 2003 regulations also - where on earth is there the one act condensing all these amendments and the law in one statute? The Race Relations Act has an act, as it is in force today, written with all the amendments etc - does this one just not have one, or can I not find it, and if it doesn't have one, how am I (or how does anybody) make sense of it??? more

Open Question: I need help on some law and want to gain some information for my research?

I need help on statutory interpretation, so I'll pick a theoretical scenario: In the preamble to the Protection of Sea Life Act 2001, there is an explanation that it was passed to stop over-fishing in UK waters. Section 1 makes it an offence to catch fish below 250 grammes in weight. Section 2 also makes it an offence to catch seals, dolphins, whales and other sea creatures. In May 2000 the European Union issued a directive which prohibits any limits on type of sea life that may be caught, as contravening the principle of free trade. Now please write what you think on these questions: a) Describe the rules and presumptions that are used to interpret statutes. b) Outline other aids to the interpretation of statutes. c) Mike is a fisherman who wants to be able to catch small fish, under 250 grammes in weight, and he seeks your advice as to whether he can challenge the Protection of Sea Life Act 2001 using European Union law. Advise Mike. d) Jeremy is an amateur fisherman who has accidentally caught a shark and is not sure whether he has committed an offence under the act. Advise Jeremy. Thank you very much, I need to gain info for my research so I need these questions to be answered for me to gain some info on statutory interpretation. more

Resolved Question: What do you think about this research paper I wrote? Its due tuesday this is my final draft?

To live or not to live Although physician assisted suicide is a very controversial topic, it should be allowed because people who are suffering in a terminal situation should not have to suffer. You have been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer this is not in any way a pleasant way to die. You have constant pain all through the night this also leads to no sleep. You can hardly sleep, eat or even think because the pain is so overwhelming that it takes you over. The pain is not just overwhelming it is also constant it seems to never leave your body the doctor prescribes you every pain medication that is physically possible. You have bed sores that are hurting all over your body because you have been too weak to get up or even move. You just wonder if there is anyway out of this anyway to get rid of this over bearing non stop pain. The start of the first legal physician assisted suicide in United States started with Oregon. The first ever bill to legalize voluntary euthanasia in the United States was introduced in Ohio legislature in 1906. It was provided that when a mentally competent adult was terminally ill or hurt his doctor could ask him in the presence of three other witnesses whether he wished to cease to live. If the adult said yes three other physicians had to agree the patient’s condition was hopeless before the adult could be put to death. This bill was eliminated. The bill sounded to be very lawful and just yet it was defeated. Oregon became the first government to legalize physician assisted suicide. Physician assisted suicide is unknowingly not a right protected by our constitution. Physician assisted suicide involves prescribing lethal drugs for a patient with the knowledge that the patients intends to end their life with such medication. Euthanasia the most common way is the lethal injection of the patient by the doctor. The opponents of the assisted suicide are worried about the abuses of assisted if it were to become legalized. The bill that was eventually passed so that Oregon may have assisted suicide was called the right to die bill according to Richard (caring for dying). The patient may receive life ending lethal drugs under a few conditions. 1. Two doctors have to agree that the patient isn’t going to live more then 6 months. 2. The patients asked the doctor three times about for help in ending their life and the third time would be in writing. 3. Doctor waits at least 15 days after the first time the patient asked and two days after their final third request. The patient is offered alternate routes and hospice care instead of ending their lives. This bill was passed in November 1994 with a 51 percent to 49 percent win. The only States in the America that have legalized physician assisted suicide under limited circumstances are Oregon, Washington and recently Montana. Montana ruled that there was nothing in state law to prevent doctors from prescribing lethal drugs too mentally, terminally ill patients. States with statutes that explicitly criminalize assisted suicide are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. The States that criminalize assisted suicide just through common law are Iowa, Louisiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming. Jack Kevorkian started a whole new controversial argument on physician assisted suicide. Jack Kevorkian took place in many assisted suicides before anyone thought anything about legalizing or is even physician assisted suicide legal. This is why it had such a huge affect because no one new about this physician assisted suicide that came up. Jack Kevorkian publicized his work in helping patients end their lives so he could help more lives. He claimed he helped more then 130 terminally ill or chronically ill patients take their own lives. Kevorkian truly believe it was okay and the right thing to do, to help people stop suffering by helping them take their lives as a physician he even went as far as to going commercial to raise money for his cause. Kevorkian is also a painter and would sell his oil paintings to produce funds towards his cause. His assisted suicides become more and more popular and public. He was tried many times in court but never gets convicted. Kevorkian was an extremist, he believed in something and wouldn’t let anything get in the way of that. On May 7, 1996 he has a trial and nearly hours after for what he’s being tried for he commits. He was present at the suicide of Austin Bastable, a tool maker from Canada that had multiple sclerosis. He had performed assisted suicide by breathing in carbon monoxide as a number of doctors including Kevorkian witnessed. He was the first Canadian to die with doctor Kevorkian present. Bastable had said that his multi more

Resolved Question: For Christians: what do you think of these verses?

All these verses say essentially the same thing - that God's laws are meant to last forever. Psalm 119:152 (these are David’s words) Long ago I learned from your statutes that you established them to last forever. Romans 3:29-31 Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law. Psalm 119:160 All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal. Deuteronomy 4:2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you. Deuteronomy 6:5-6 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Deuteronomy 10:12-13 And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the Lord's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good? Deuteronomy 11:1 Love the Lord your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always. Psalm 111:7-8 The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy. They are steadfast for ever and ever, done in faithfulness and uprightness. Isaiah 8:16 Bind up the testimony and seal up the law among my disciples. I Chronicles 16:14-16 He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth. He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations, the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac. Matthew 5:17-19 (these are Jesus’ words) Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 22:36:40 (these are Jesus’ words, which reiterate commands found in Deuteronomy) "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Luke 16:17 (these are Jesus’ words) It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law. John 7:19 (these are Jesus’ words) Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. John 14:15 (these are Jesus’ words) If you love me, you will obey what I command. Acts 5:29 Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men! Acts 24:14 (these are Paul’s words) However, I admit that I worship the God of our fathers as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that agrees with the Law and that is written in the Prophets… I Corinthians 7:19 … Keeping God's commands is what counts. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness… I John 5:3 This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome… more

Resolved Question: 10 errors question in bible?

The genealogy of Christ. Matthew 1 and Luke 3 give two very different genealogies for Joseph, Mary's husband. In fact, even Luke admits that he isn't sure that Joseph was actually Jesus' father (Luke 3:23, NIV). You would think that someone who was directly inspired by god would know what he's writing. # Scientific errors. I find it suspect that those who take the Bible literally as a scientific text for the larger, cosmological arguments can simply ignore the number of small scientific mistakes the Bible makes. For example, rabbits don't chew their cud and the bat is not a bird. Those are only twoThe story of Jesus' death and resurrection. Were Jesus' last words “Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit,” “"It is finished,” or “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me” followed by a loud cry? Did the rooster crow once or twice? How did Judas die—by suicide or fall?God or Gods? In Hebrew, Genesis 1 mentions “Elohim” created the heavens and the earth. Elohim is plural (the rationalization of this is really extraordinary), and Genesis states that God said “Let us make men in our image.” Also, in Jewish literature, Asherah is the female counterpart to Yahweh, though the Bible condemns worshiping her. Nevertheless, she appears in the same Jewish literature the Old Testament is drawn from, but is completely ignored in Christianity.Faith or works or belief? Ephesians 2:8-9 says that salvation is not of works, “lest any man should boast.” James 2:24 says man is justified by works and “not by faith alone.” Most justify it by saying it is both, but Paul is very clear that salvation is not of works, and even gives a reason why. Then, to add confusion to the mix, verses such as Acts 16:31 claim that belief alone is sufficient salvation. Not only that, but your entire household will be saved just by one person believing. Other verses show various conglomerations of the three.Where is Jesus? In Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus is quoted as saying that he would return before the end of that generation. There are some interesting theories as to why he has not yet returned, the most common being that there is a gap or a figurative generation, however, it is obvious that the writer's of the text thought he meant that physical generation. I find it hard to believe that a theologian 2,000 years later can better figure out what Jesus meant than the people who were actually there. Some people think it is a mistranslation, and that Jesus actually meant “race,” not “generation.” This probably makes the most sense, but still is dubious and does not explain much.Freewill or not? There is almost no greater theological debate bigger than the idea of Calvinism vs. Arminianism, or freewill vs. predestination. Do we humans have any choice whether to believe in God or not? Though most Christians acknowledge the differing viewpoints, somehow the fact that the issue is confusing because the Bible is so contradictory on the subject escapes many.Does God ever change? Ezekiel 24:14: "I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD." (KJV) But God changed his mind about destroying or punishing people several times in the Bible, most notably in Genesis 18:23-33. The Bible also directly contradicts Ezekial 24:14 in Genesis 6:6: “And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”re God's laws good? Many verses seem to suggest that God is, indeed good. There are too many to list. But the Bible also says "Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live; And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD." Ezekial 20:25-26. 10. Should we judge? 1 Corinthians 2:15 says "The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment,” but 1 Corinthians 4:5 says "Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God." For many Christians, these errors are minor, simply explained away, or ignored on faith, and they don't take away from the overall message of the Bible. One site even claims that the Bible can have no errors, but it does have "difficulties." Not everything in the above list can fit into the categories the writer lists to explain away the contradictions, though. Also, an entire book written to explain religion should at least explain it. It's true that many contradictions aren't “serious,” but whether or not we have any choice in whether or not we believe and how to obtain salvation (faith or works or more

Resolved Question: Legal age for owning and carrying a handgun in NC?

Recently i had a man try to get into my grandmothers car with me. i had a Martin bow in the backseat and i guess he wanted it because he tried the back door and when he realized it was locked he came to the front. i reached in the console and pulled her Taurus .38 and showed it to the guy. Needless to say he tuck tail and ran. My question is what is the legal handgun carrying age.? i have heard 21 and 18. which is it? I am 17 and have been around guns my entire life and i know how to use them ^^^^^ Here is some info that has me sorta confused.. North Carolina law does not currently address specific age requirements for the purchase of weapons. Rather, it looks to the federal standards for such restrictions. Under federal law, 18 U.S.C. § 922(b)(1), federally licensed gun dealers are prohibited from selling handguns to persons under the age of 21. Further, all other purchasers of shotguns and rifles are required to be at least 18 years of age. North Carolina General Statute § 14-269.7 provides that it is a misdemeanor for any person under the age of 18 to possess or carry a handgun.

Resolved Question: Can I Move out at age 17 in MN?

I am 16 currently and I am currently going to college through a program called PSEO. Next year, I want to go to a college in another city that doesn't offer dorms. I was wondering if it would be legal for me to move out of my house (I will be 17 by then), and move into an apartment. I have read that I can be emancipated in MN but the wording of the law can be a little confusing. Can someone please help me? Here is a link to the law that says it: http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/issues/legalage.asp It says under emancipation: Emancipation means that a minor has the same legal rights and obligations as an 18-year-old adult. The Minnesota Statutes do not provide either the grounds or a procedure for emancipation. Minnesota case law has established that a minor can be emancipated by a legal marriage or by parental consent. Thanks so much for helping me out! more

THE PROBLEMS OF JAMES FACTUAL SITUATION a. James has recently inherited Blackacre from a distant cousin. Blackacre consists of a large plot of undeveloped land on the edge of the rural village of Littlewit. James, who is without any commercial or business experience and little experience of life, decides to develop the land by building a number of houses on Blackacre. James gets an old school friend who studied art at technical college to design the houses and the layout of the estate. b. James enters into a building contract with Boget Builders Limited (“Boget”) to build the houses. Boget in turn enters into a subcontract with Marchland Limited (“Marchland”) to carry out the ground works. Tim who is an employee of Marchland is working on site when he is injured by being run over by a lorry negligently driven by Peter an employee of Boget. c. Boget has now gone into liquidation owing money to Marchland for work carried out on site. At the time Boget went into liquidation, James had not paid Boget for the work carried out by Marchland. d. James has received a letter from William, an adjacent landowner, who states that he has a right of way over Blackacre which has been obstructed by the building works. William states that he will apply for a court injunction unless James agrees to stop the obstruction and repair the damage caused to the right of way by the ground works. In the letter James also complains that the noise and dust etc. caused by the building works have made his life a living hell and that he intends to sue James for nuisance. e. It now transpires that no planning was applied for before work was commenced on site. James has now been served with an Enforcement Notice requiring him to stop work on the site and requiring James to restore Blackacre to its natural state before the works were commenced on site. ___________________ GUIDANCE NOTES: 1.

Resolved Question: Did you know that two thirds of the States are trying to ban health insurance mandate?

Why is our federal government still trying to pass something that most people clearly don't want? Do you think eventually they will hear us? Thanks. http://ts-si.org/government/22623-va-senate-bans-health-insurance-mandate.html Richmond, VA, USA. The Democratic-led state Senate in Virginia sent a very strong message about health care reform efforts in Washington, D.C., on Monday (Feb. 1), passing a bill that makes it illegal for Virginians to be required to buy health insurance. With Republicans in control of the state’s House of Delegates and governor’s mansion, the bill could become law, The Washington Post reported. The effort throws a wrench into congressional Democrats’ plans to revamp the nation’s health care system following the Massachusetts special election that stripped the party of its 60-vote, filibuster-proof majority in the U.S. Senate. An “individual mandate” that requires Americans to buy health insurance is a centerpiece of federal health care legislation. Virginia’s move could suggest that President Obama — who reiterated his support for reform during his State of the Union address last week — “is failing to reassure members of his own party that current reform efforts remain worthwhile,” The Post said. A groundswell of opposition to the federal effort is emerging in statehouses around the country, The Associated Press reported today. * Bills similar to the legislation cleared by the Virginia Senate are being considered in 35 states, with some lawmakers seeking constitutional amendments to prohibit mandatory health insurance. * An Idaho legislative committee has approved a bill similar to Virginia’s. * In Missouri, an overflow crowd showed up at a hearing room when that state’s constitutional amendment was being debated. http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1958121,00.html Lawmakers in 34 states have filed or proposed amendments to their state constitutions or statutes rejecting health insurance mandates, according to the American Legislative Exchange Council, a nonprofit group that promotes limited government that is helping to coordinate the efforts. Many of those proposals are targeted for the November ballot, assuring that health care remains a hot topic as hundreds of federal and state lawmakers face re-election. more

Resolved Question: CHild abuse in uk unhappy with my lawyers , what can I do.?

I was abused at a dyslexic school in Suffolk in 1997. A conviction of 6 years was reached for the abuser at the Ipswich Crown court. And was awarded 12,000 pounds for mental anguish, and my mother father were also given 12,000 for lost school fee’s and air fairs, but what they claimed for was 50,000. However I feel that 12,000 pounds is not enough, to make up for my lost childhood. I have been trying to find out if I have recourse for a seconder claim. And have been using a well known law firm ( small but well known ) but have been very unhappy with there service. In 8 months all that has been done is write too the old school and that is it. (I found out >>)The school was sold in 1998. The lawyer told me, it was most likely that there was nothing too be done. However I tracked down the ex-owner myself from Australia as well as the school’s lawyers at time, I also had to hire a PI to help confirm my finding. I don’t feel I should have had to do this, as I am the client. They ignore my questions and instructions regarding my case. And for every 6 emails I send them I get one very short one back. I am doing more running around here in Australia then they are in the UK. Now ....know one knows if a full and final statement was ever sighed. As I was 13 at the time. My lawyer's legal aid said she did not think it would be a problem if it had been sighed as I was under the age of 18. A media exclusion contract was sighed ( it was for 5 years ) but that is all, that my mother and father can remember, witch they felt forced to sigh as it was. We did not have proper legal advise, having been recommended to a firm, but where told they would not take on the case, but would be there in a supportive roll only. Funny they still sent us the bill! We found out some time after that they were not child abuse experts and were more corporate lawyers then anything. All our documents where lost when we moved to Australia, witch has slowed things down. However the old school lawyers have full copy’s, witch my lawyers are meant to be requesting, but it has been 2 weeks and has heard nothing at all. I am now 25 , MY Lawyers contacted me via facebook , asking for info on abuse of a school by the same name but in Norfolk. I was with in my statute. And my mind had only just turned to litigation.

Resolved Question: Is Obama now a dictator stating he will rule by "executive orders" ie., authoritarian decrees?

According to The New York Times, ruling in authoritarian fashion is normal and acceptable. “Any president has vast authority to influence policy even without legislation, through executive orders, agency rule-making and administrative fiat.” In fact, Obama’s plan to rule by authoritarian decree is unconstitutional. Article I, Section 1 of the Constitution states: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." Article II, Section 3 states that the president may call Congress into emergency session during a national crisis. In other words, rule buy fiat is treason. Another section of the Constitution covers treason. Article II, Section. 4 states: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” Rahm Emanuel should be arrested and prosecuted for treason under federal statute, specifically Title 18 U.S.C. § 2. It states: “Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.” Treason is spelled out in Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution. “The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason,” it states. “White House officials said the increased focus on executive authority reflected a natural evolution from the first year to the second year of any presidency,” The New York Times continues. Hitler exploited this “natural evolution” to turn Germany into a fascist dictatorship through executive orders. In fact, Reagan, Clinton and Bush the Lesser issued a flurry of executive orders that surpassed anything Hitler or Stalin issued. Executive orders have been around since the beginning of the republic. George Washington issued a number of proclamations, dispositions and recommendations. For instance, a suggestion that a day of Thanksgiving take place on Thursday, November26, 1789. He was severely criticized for issuing a proclamation suggesting U.S. citizens joining or aiding the war between Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Britain and the Netherlands be prosecuted. George Washington’s proclamations, however, did not over rule legislation passed by Congress. Executive orders: Surpassing Hitler and Stalin. Executive orders did not really pick up steam until the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. During the invasion of the South for opposing the federal government, Lincoln issued a large number of executive orders allowing the federal military to steal land and turn prisoners of war into forced labor slaves. The grand daddy of executive orders was Franklin Roosevelt. He issued 3,723 of them. Here is a sample. Roosevelt’s most notorious executive order was 6102. It permitted the federal government to steal all privately held gold in the United States. Ronald Reagan — sold to the people as a “conservative” — issued 381 executive orders, more than George W. Bush. Clinton came close to Reagan. He issued 364. Reagan violated the Constitution directly when he issued Executive Order 12611 ordering “Assistance for Central American Democracies and the Nicaraguan Democratic Resistance,” in other words providing assistance to the Contras, a violation of the Boland Amendment. Clinton used executive orders to defy Congress and conduct a murder campaign against the people of Yugoslavia. Clinton also violated Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution when he bombed the European country. Article 1, Section 8 states that “Congress shall have power to… declare War,” not the president. During the election, Obama not only said he would not issue executive orders but he would reverse those issued during the Bush era. On his very first day in office, Obama broke this pledge and implemented and signed into law Executive Order 13489 barring the release of presidential records (presumably including his birth certificate). Obama also signed executive orders allowing Interpol to operate beyond the law in the United States and establishing the Council of Governors. Obama will continue the process of rule by decree established by his predecessors. He will rule in the tradition of the Roman Second Triumvirate and the Lex Titia decree under Gaius Octavian, general Mark Antony and pontifex maximus Aemilius Lepidus. It should be noted that the resolution paved the way for the Final War of the Roman Republic and the total collapse of republican government. more
