I understand that the employer can not pay himself a salary, pay payroll tax on his salary, and then collect payments if he goes out of business. I would like to know specifically where this is addressed in federal law or D.C. law.What law specifically denies unemployment benefits to a sole proprietor?
It is not Federal, but State Law. In your case DC Law.
1.) Since you are a business you have control.
- YOU CANNOT FIRE YOURSELF
2.) Also the big one - YOU ARE NOT PAYING UNEMPLOYMENT TAXES
- SO WHY would you expect to receive distributions.
Are you serious?What law specifically denies unemployment benefits to a sole proprietor?
Laws define legal obligations %26amp; restrictions rather than making every act that constitutes a "lack of common sense" either legal or illegal. The law doesn't specifically say you cannot make yourself the sole beneficiary of your Will, either, because it assumes you have enough sense not to do that!
If you are a sole proprietor, you are the only person who is in a position to decide if you should stay in business or not. I should not have my taxes pay your wages because you decided to go home!What law specifically denies unemployment benefits to a sole proprietor?
There doesn't have to be a law denying it - if there is no law permitting it, it isn't available.
It's logical if you think about it - otherwise would be too open to abuse by someone who worked just long enough to collect, then collected for half a year, etc etc etc

What happens if a state law refuses to enforce a federal law?
I'll give an example. The Federal Law that is probably going to be passed soon that requires restaurants to list calorie counts on their menus.
So let's say that the law is passed. Well the thing is, when a business opens, it is the state, not the federal government, that issues the business license.
So suppose that if and when this federal law is passed requiring them to post calorie counts, a state just said, "Yeah, no, don't worry about doing that, we won't enforce it."
What's the federal government going to do?What happens if a state law refuses to enforce a federal law?
states have a right to nullify any federal law
10th amendment
look at this vid for example
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding."
Article VI, clause 2. We scholar types call it the Supremacy Clause.
However, this isn't directly relevant here. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2009 ("Obamacare" if you don't like it) has *already* been passed with these requirements. Any restaurant that met the PPACA requirements and didn't post calorie counts would be violating a *federal* law. So they would be dealt with in federal court -- and, if necessary, the judgment would be enforced by the U.S. Marshals Service, a federal agency. The state would have no power over it, and the feds wouldn't care one way or the other about a state-issued business license.
(BTW, I hope you aren't the same fellow who kept asking about if states decided to ignore Roe v. Wade. He or she asked the same question about every three hours for a week.)What happens if a state law refuses to enforce a federal law?
That federal law has already been passed. The new federal law requires restaurant chains with 20 or more outlets to disclose calorie counts on their food items and supply information on how many calories a healthy person should eat in a day.
There would be any number of repercussions...or none at all. I guess it would depend on the egregiousness of the flouting of the law. Since the federal law only applies to large chains, I think they'd be following federal law nationwide, so it would be moot.
However, in the past states who have moved to ignore federal laws do get punished (such as Montana's move to nullify the Endangered Species Act could result in the loss of billions of federal dollars for highways and other state projects)
As a rule, states just can't decide not to obey federal law. That being said, there's California and other medical marijuana states who are technically disobeying federal laws. The feds (until recently) have chosen to not enforce those laws.
In the absense of state law.. Federal Law prevails
sometimes there are overlapping laws %26amp; in those cases the law there are formulas to determine which law trumps the other
So.... when a restaurant doesn't follow the federal law, then the person who is concerned (the consumer) follows the procedure put in place to report the violation
Sorta of like violation of Sexual Harassment laws in the workplace... it gets reported to the Feds %26amp; it gets investigated... then once the complaint is proven to be valid fines are assessed
You might also be able to report to the county health department or something along those lines in the case of a restaurant issueWhat happens if a state law refuses to enforce a federal law?
Bring the restaurant owners into Federal Court charged with the violation of Federal law. The fines imposed by the court will bankrupt the restaurant, ending the criminal activity.
What, did you think the Feds would just stand around, wringing their hands and crying because they didn't issue the business license?
The states are not required to enforce federal law, that is federal agents job. Sounds like they will have to create more officers for enforcing restaurant menus now.
Just brilliant, who but the federal government would create a whole nuther agency when we are already broke. Itdiots.
State governments and federal governments each have their own law enforcement agencies charged with upholding state and federal law.
the fed usually try to withhold funding of some type or the other
like they did with the road speeds
or the age of alcohol consumption
or ML K's Holiday

Good way to explain law of segregation and law of independent assortment? What is an example of each?
I'm kinda confused as to what they mean.. The teacher said law of segregatin is "alleles sperate"
And law of independent assortment is "each set of alles segregates independent of other alleles"
Ok so how could you use examples to explain these laws? Cuz I don't really get it still
thanksGood way to explain law of segregation and law of independent assortment? What is an example of each?
Ok so the law of segregation is focusing on ONE single gene. It says that when the parent passes a gene onto an offspring, it RANDOMLY gives it one of 2 allele copies.
Example: Lets assume in pigs that were looking at a single gene for coat color. The allele P gives a pink coat and the allele p gives a brown coat (just making this up, no validity intended.) Then, the probability of passing on P is the same as passing on p, because they separate independently of one another and then rejoin during fertilization.
Independent assortment refers to ALL genes. It says that what you inherit for one gene is independent (doesn't affect) what you inherit for another gene.
Example: In pigs, lets say P represents coat color and E represents eye color. Then, regardless of what the pig inherits for its coat color, it has the same chance of inheriting an allele for its eye color. The genes assort independently of one another.
If youre still confused, feel free to ask specific questions and I will attempt to address them.Good way to explain law of segregation and law of independent assortment? What is an example of each?
Assume a diploid cell with two alleles for the flower color gene, R and r. Since haploid gametes only contain 1 of each homologous pair of chromosomes, R will end up in one gamete, and r will end up in another gamete. This is segregation.
Assume a diploid with two alleles for the flower color, R and r; there are also 2 alleles for the height gene, T and t. When gametes are formed, R ends up in one gamete, and r ends up in another gamete. The same is true of the T and t alleles. Which gametes get the T and t alleles has nothing to do with which gametes get the R and r alleles. This is independent assortment; the separation of one set of alleles has nothing to do with the separation of any other. (of course, this assumes that there is no linkage between the two sets of alleles).

What if a state law is against a federal law?
Which one is applied if there is any state law which is against a federal law? Or is there any law to prevent such a case?What if a state law is against a federal law?
Federal law supersedes local or state law when they are in conflict. However, a state or local law can be made that goes further than federal law. For example, a federal laws on firearms ownership (can't be a felon, can't be convicted of a domestic violence charge, cannot be mentally incapacitated, etc). A state can go even further and require a permit and set the requirements. What the state can't do is say that anyone can own a gun, including someone mentally incapacitated because it would violate federal law. In California, the state allows medical marijuana, but it is still illegal on the federal level, however, The US Attorney has chosen not to enforce the law at this time. At any point, he could go after anyone for selling it if he so decides.
they generally do not violate each other but I believe federal law supercedes or trumps state law. The feds can also punish a state for refusing to obey a federal law such as withholding money for highway repair on federal roadways or anything federal owned in the state not obeying. A state law cannot overide a federal law.What if a state law is against a federal law?
Federal law trumps state law every time, [period. Witness the feds busting up legal pot sales in California. However, more restrictive state laws can supplement fed law. Witness state gun laws that modify fed statutes. But the feds trump states anytime they desires and often do. But, the states can not nullify or defang a fed law.
state trump fed, fed serves to protect the fifty states against outside attacks and they deal with outside america trade. Everything else is state mandated.
RRRRRWhat if a state law is against a federal law?
Federal law is applied if a federal law conflicts with a state law...some states do have conflicting laws, sometimes because they are "in protest" to what the state views as usurpation of it's rights by the federal government. There are even some state constitutions that conflict with the federal constitution.
However, a state MAY give its residents MORE protection than the federal constitution without being considered in conflict.
As it is in the USA, normally, federal law would prevail over the State law.
However, practically, it is not so straightforward. For example, States have right to exercise their powers in certain spheres, such as, family, marriage and divorce. Therefore, it could happen that State laws may be different from US federal laws, BUT nevertheless, these different State laws would be absolutely lawful, constitutional and enforceable. For example, US federal law does not allow for the same-sex marriages, but several States do (e.g. Massachussetts).
"**** the Feds. States rule!" - Thomas Jefferson
Federal Law would trump the state law. The state cannot take away protections provided by the federal government. However, state law can enlarge upon those protections. For example, if the federal age of consent is 14, a state could pass a law and make the age of consent 15 or 16, but it could not make it 13.
But generally, If the Federal Law says you can't do something, and the state law says you can, the Federal Law trumps. It's called a conflict of laws. It is very common, and it comes down to a question of supremacy between the two laws. Generally speaking, Federal Law has supremacy over state laws.
federal always trumps state, state trumps city/local.
Kind of like rock, paper scissors but paper is local and really doesn't win ever.
The supremacy clause in the constitution says that federal law will rule. Most often, state laws are stricken under what is referred to as "the incorporation doctrine." If you want to know more about this topic, do a search for that term and you will find a lot. Cases such as Brown v. Board of Ed, Gideon v. Wainwright and Miranda v. Arizona were all based on the incorporation doctrine.
In every case, Federal law wins.
Federal Law almost always prevails, unless the Supreme Court decides that the power to legislate that issue lies with the state.

What exactly is the law that states a business has to give you an application?
I hear from a lot of people that if you go to a business and ask for an application and they refuse that that's against the law. By Law they have to give you an application whether they're hiring or not and they have to keep it on file for 6 months. I'd like to see the exact law that states that. I tried looking on the California employment and regulations site, but it's a real mess and hard to find anything in there. I'm hoping someone here can state the exact law.What exactly is the law that states a business has to give you an application?
Their is no such law. The only law that is close to what your saying is that you have a right to go to a business and ask for a applications if they are hiring. They can't say oh no we can't give you it cuz your not our type. Or flat out no. Even if lets say your a highschool student and applying for a engineering job. Even though the highschool kid has no college degrees in engineering the business can't refuse to give him an application for the job.
By law you can't refuse someone even unqualified to apply for a open job at a business. It is called the equal employment opportunity act. I am not sure if it's a state statue or a federal one.
That is the only law their is... what your hearing is wrong. If a business is not looking for anyone they don't have to give applications to everyone even though they have no job offering.
So who ever told you about what your asking is mainly confused and didn't fully understand the equal unemployment opportunity act.
The act forces all business that they must allow anyone to take a application to any job your offering even if the person is unqualified. Which means everyone has a fair chance of trying to get the job.
If your unqualified for the job you will be filtered out at the application part.
you can't find it because it is one of those urban myths, you know like it is illegal to give bad references, like thatWhat exactly is the law that states a business has to give you an application?
That law doesn't exist. What the law says is that it is against the law to refuse to take an application when hiring for a specific position.
there is no such law
there is no law that even requires the use of applications.
an application is a form used by the employer to help them gather information. there are laws on how an application is used if the employer has chosen to use them but no law requiring their use.What exactly is the law that states a business has to give you an application?

What kind of situation is this when people insults/tease on some things but in your mind, it is you?
I have been dealing with this for about 1 year now. and it is my sister-in-law, She's like insulting me but not really in front of me, she insults/tease on dogs, other people, things something like that but in your mind it is directed to you, Its kind a weird to have this kind of problem, but this kind situation is what I'm dealing with it right now. like everyday. Even though its indirect but I focus in it and I really knew that it is me that is being insulted. Sometimes I fight back the same way, but it doesn't work.
i'm a guy btw and I'm 17 she's 26What kind of situation is this when people insults/tease on some things but in your mind, it is you?
If she is a good sister in law you should be able to talk to her and let her know that it seems kind of passive aggressive what she is doing and you feel it is directed toward you. Tell her that it has taken an affect on you and you can not deal with it anymore. Ask her to become aware of what she is doing if she is not and to please try to stop. Communication is key and she is obviously not a good one if she has to send you signals through indirect ways.What kind of situation is this when people insults/tease on some things but in your mind, it is you?
If it is indeed directed to you, people call in an "indirect insult"
If it is not and you're just assuming that it is, then it's called paranoia.What kind of situation is this when people insults/tease on some things but in your mind, it is you?
I think you should tell her slowly and nicely about that. Well, there are people who doesn't know what they're doing, maybe she didn't really mean to do those things

Is patent law saturated? How competitive is the field?Should I work for a corporation or law firm for entry?
I have a BSEE from great school and MSEE from a good school. I am currently working as an engineer at a large corporation. I am interested in going to law school part time to become a patent lawyer. I'm fascinated with new technologies, I'm an above average writer, and I am growing weary of corporate life of an engineer. Is patent law a good field? How hard is it to get a job? What type of hours would one typically work?
Thanks!Is patent law saturated? How competitive is the field?Should I work for a corporation or law firm for entry?
It's a great field. Law school isn't easy, but if you have a technical background and can do fairly well in law school, you can earn a great living and make a very satisfying career of it. And patent lawyers can find jobs much, much easier than the English-Lit majors and higher paying ones at that.
Typically, you are best served starting off in a law firm. A large prestigious law firm is nice to have on your resume for the future. You will work very hard long hours and compete fiercely with others. But, the name recognition is very valuable.
If you aren't the kind that likes to be ultra-competitive, there are many patent law firms out there that pay as well as the large prestige firms. You will work fewer hours and be in a less competitive environment. The name recognition won't be as great, but that may not matter to you.
After you've done some time in the law firms, corporations will become more interested. Although some corps hire straight out of law school, it's not terribly common. Companies want trained professionals and don't usually like to train lawyers in the fundamentals.
Life in a corporation is nice. Even fewer hours and less competition should you choose to go that route. If you really want to succeed, then the hours may not be much less. I put in 11.5 hour days, five days a week. In a law form, I would also be working weekends and longer hours.
Corporations typically can't and won' pay as much as law firms. But, if you stick with it and get lucky, you may rise to the level of General Counsel or Chief IP counsel. In a large company that could bring you very close to the same level of salary as a law firm partner.
In your case, I would look into going to work as a patent agent at a law firm and having the firm pay for you to go to law school. That's the best way of doing it if you really only want to do the part time thing. With an EE degree you should have no problem.

In your case, I would look into going to work as a patent agent at a law firm and having the firm pay for you to go to law school. That's the best way of doing it if you really only want to do the part time thing. With an EE degree you should have no problem.
What is the best profession in Law that an Economics graduate can pursue?
As we all know there is no "typical lawyer." There are many "professions" within the profession of law. I have a degree in Economics and I would like to know where my training in the discipline would be maximized. Would it be when i specialize in criminal law, family law, personal injury or defective product litigation, trust and estate law, business transactions and litigation, tax law, employment or labor law, environmental law, patent and trademark law, civil rights litigation, or in other specialized areas?What is the best profession in Law that an Economics graduate can pursue?
trust and estate law, followed by tax law,
I found during law school that there were undergrads and draduate of every sort. I would not limit yourself based on your prior degree. During lawschool you can dabble in all areas and chose the practise which interests you most.
maybe transactions .. seem like you would be a waste in litigation ?
i am thinking real estate investment / joint ventures / mergers/acquistions type of things.
analyst ?
government role ?
Wall Street ?
You might do well in Bankruptcy Law.
It is quite lucrative too.What is the best profession in Law that an Economics graduate can pursue?
I would suggest you to do MBA Finance and join some reputed concern so that your services can be utilised better. As a Lawyer u have to struggle a lot to come up.
Tax Law and Antitrust law seem the most likely fields for you to benefit. You aren't going to be able to do patent law with an econ degree.

What law career should i pursue to be able to use languages: International Law?
I am interested in law school once I finish college, but I want to practice some kind of law where I would get to use languages. I am working on my French fluency and am also studying Chinese. What is the best field? I am not particularly interested in Public International Law, but am interested in International Business Law. I am not interested in living abroad or travelling every week of the year, but more of something where I would travel once in a while to other countries to negotiate deals,etc. Do most firms have lawyers who specialize in dealings abroad, and would they actually use languages?What law career should i pursue to be able to use languages: International Law?
In New York, criminal law fills the bill..................people who speak 100 different languages live here , probably the same in most big cities.............What law career should i pursue to be able to use languages: International Law?

Is it true that no employee can be forced to pay Union dues and can leave a union without losing their job?
I was reading that according to Federal law that no employee can be compelled to join a Union . If a employee at a Unionized job decided he did not want t pay the Union dues he can write a letter telling them he wants to resign from the union and to stop charging him dues. I also understand that the Union cannot use dues for lobbying purposes that the member does not agree with. For example. I always supports Republican candidates and I will be angry if the Union uses my dues to support Democrats. I also feel little need to support anyone except he who pays my paycheck. While at work my manager is God. What he says goes. I do not listen or care what my coworkers tell me. I understand if you are outside the union you are on your own. If the job is Unionized are there ways to get rid of the Union all together. I view Unions as Corrupt Fascist organizations that prey on weakminded conformist individuals. If an individual does his job managers will not bother them.Is it true that no employee can be forced to pay Union dues and can leave a union without losing their job?
Barry Soetoro is also known as Barrack Obama he is not even eligible to be President of the United States. This is the most important issue people should realize. He will continue to destroy our constitution. Do your research.
If it isn't, it should be.Is it true that no employee can be forced to pay Union dues and can leave a union without losing their job?
Depends on the state. States with a "right to work" law forbid unions from requiring dues to join or maintain union membership.
Some states are 'right to work' states, which mean you cannot be forced to join a union in order to work. Some still require union dues, since the employee does benefit from collective bargaining.
Other states do not have right to work legislation.Is it true that no employee can be forced to pay Union dues and can leave a union without losing their job?

"The Law of Objectivity: Do not judge people by socially conceived principles
The Law of Protection: Do not distort the justice due to a pagan, atheist or weak believer "
Determining if someone is a "weak" believer is a judgement call based on a socially conceived principle.
Furthermore,
"The Law of Non-Confrontation: Do not offend or alienate others"
By terming people "weak" believers you are alienating them.
The choice to call these "laws" and to capitalize the first letter of each word seems pretentious.
There is no connection between ambition and either optimism or pessimism - so that just sounds odd - like you did not know what ambition means.
Why put limits or conditions on compassion? Shouldn't it be extended to all regardless of their intentions or their efforts?
Similarly - Non-violence should be applied to more than just emotional violence don't you think?
Liberty is oddly puritan rather than Buddhist - There are more things to be "free of" than just pleasures.
How does "faith" relate to social obligations? Faith is trust or confidence in someone or something in religion it is trust in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than evidence. It is not an "obligation" - unless you imagine yourself to be God and therefore feel obligated to fulfill God's obligations as a creator and therefore parent of creation.
Independence is about not being dependent on someone else - it does not relate to non-manipulation.
Ok - I give up. You need to read a dictionary - these words don't relate to the names of your laws.

What types of birth control will be banned if the "personhood" amendment passes in Oklahoma this fall?
This amendment:
http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Ok鈥?/a>
I heard it will ban IUDs and the Plan B because they both can prevent a fertilized egg from attaching. If you have an IUD will you be put in jail if you don't have it removed? What if you get an IUD in another state or get the morning after pill in another state? What will be the punishments for violating this law basically and what if you violate it in another state but you live in Oklahoma?
I'm asking because I know this is going to pass and there is no moderate governor anymore to overturn it.What types of birth control will be banned if the "personhood" amendment passes in Oklahoma this fall?
In the first few weeks after childbirth, the most challenging task for a mother is to recognize your baby鈥檚 feeding pattern. Your newborn baby has a small stomach so she needs to be fed 8 to 10 times in day. Each feeding period between 15 to 20 minutes. As your baby grows, each feeding period will be increased, typically between 20 and 40 minutes and fed requirement also increase. Your newborn will tell you whether he or she is full. There are some basic sign that show newborn is full.

This will never pass, it has to go through several flors and a house vote before it would pass and even then it could be appealed back out and placed on hold, Row Versus Wade has been used for abortion's for decades and the senate knows back alley abortions would be risen up, every doctor wanting to make a few bucks moonlighting and other criminal behavior would happen, no....it just isn't going to happen,

What kind of use does a JD have nowadays (Bad Market, No Lawyers Need Apply)?
I am worried about taking up huge loans only to see no returns for my investment. I understand that San Francisco will graduate over 2,100 lawyers this year and this is very troubling, because the economy is already weak and law firms are not interested in hiring. This means that over two-thirds of graduates will not be in the legal profession. The Bay Area market from what I've heard is closed off.
I've already taken the LSATs and scored a 164 which is good enough for USF, Golden Gate, Santa Clara, Loyola and possibly for Hastings and Davis. I am nervous about investing 50k a year. This is a VERY big risk for me because I don't want to throw money away.What kind of use does a JD have nowadays (Bad Market, No Lawyers Need Apply)?
Do not go to law school, unless 1) You have pretty strong connections that will more or less gaurantee you a job after you graduate 2) You get into a top-10 program (Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc), 3) you get a full scholarship, 4) you are independently wealthy.
There is a massive oversupply of lawyers in this country. Most of them have years of experience in the legal field and will be competing with your newly-graduated *** for entry level positions. You will end up doing a job way, way below your education level and having 200k of debt hanging over your head. Don't do it.

Is the Federal government better at telling us what to do than the individual States?
Many people don't feel that they, or anyone else, is qualified to make laws and govern their own state at the most local level. The best solutions always come from the central government and Washington DC always knows best what will work in Texas or Idaho. Many people today loathe the concept of the 10th Amendment and are downright fearful of having the individual states decide for themselves.
How is the Federal government always much better at telling us how to live our lives, than the legislators of the individual States? Why are so many frightened at the idea of states making laws for themselves? Is local government really that scary?Is the Federal government better at telling us what to do than the individual States?
History says HELL NO!
Some government activities benefit from uniformity across the entire country, and some do not.
Essentially all civil and criminal law is within the control of the states.
There is, however, much in business law that benefits from country-wide uniformity.Is the Federal government better at telling us what to do than the individual States?
Well one only need look at our great victories during WWII, when the Alabama Marines, the Tennessee Navy, the Alaskan Coastguard, and the Virginian Army and South Dakotan Army did such a fine job!
(You grasp that the INTERNET is a Federally-managed, Federally-regulated entity, right? Do you have ANY idea how ironic your question is, in light of that fact? Silly goose!)
There is nothing more patriotic than limiting the Federal government to the few things which it is empowered to do by our Constitution.Is the Federal government better at telling us what to do than the individual States?
Who Can deliver to us total freedom from NWO coming operation?
O yeh...real good..
Some states have proved that they can rationally and fairly govern their people. While others would sooner have the bible a mandatory school book. States like Texas have only reformed because the federal government made them. Up till 2003 sodomy was illegal in Texas and people were arrested for it.......... Look at how Texas has treated its minorities, look at Arizona, police would be pulling over Mexicans because they are brown and asking them for proof that they are a citizen...... Yep, sounds like freedom.
@jcs78, I am a resident of Idaho, I love the state of Idaho and I have the right to live in Idaho without having my rights taken away. I do not want to move to California so that I can live freely, I want to continue living in Idaho freely. This is the UNITED STATES, not the seperate and unequal states......
I personally believe in State's rights. I feel what is best about this country is states rights. If the government decided everything, there would be no need for states. Everyone would have to accept 1 group of laws. With states rights, if you do not like the state laws, you have freedom to move,without papers like in socialist countries. For example, everyone anymore seems to want to make abortion and gay marriage federal interests. For those that agree with those can move if the state they live in do not allow it. For those who disagree, they can move if the state does allow it. This is JUST A SMALL EXAMPLE. If everything was federal control, you would have to accept laws wherever you are.
KEEP IN MIND, we were founded as a REPUBLIC, not a democracy. The founding fathers feared democracy. This is because the minority had no say so--- example, government healthcare.... This was rammed down everyones throat when it was "a fad." Now many people are turning against it. Up until 1914, the people elected the House of Representatives. Their job was to represent the PEOPLE of the state AND TO ENSURE the monority wasn't getting screwed on new legislation. The Senate was elected by THE STATE LEGISLATURES to represent what the state wanted. After 1914, the house as well as senate was elected by the people..... So it is now a Democracy where Fads and the wants of the federal government can easily manipulate the voters (the people).medical center of plano merchants tire

I've already taken the LSATs and scored a 164 which is good enough for USF, Golden Gate, Santa Clara, Loyola and possibly for Hastings and Davis. I am nervous about investing 50k a year. This is a VERY big risk for me because I don't want to throw money away.What kind of use does a JD have nowadays (Bad Market, No Lawyers Need Apply)?
Do not go to law school, unless 1) You have pretty strong connections that will more or less gaurantee you a job after you graduate 2) You get into a top-10 program (Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc), 3) you get a full scholarship, 4) you are independently wealthy.
There is a massive oversupply of lawyers in this country. Most of them have years of experience in the legal field and will be competing with your newly-graduated *** for entry level positions. You will end up doing a job way, way below your education level and having 200k of debt hanging over your head. Don't do it. Seriously.What kind of use does a JD have nowadays (Bad Market, No Lawyers Need Apply)?

Is the Federal government better at telling us what to do than the individual States?
Many people don't feel that they, or anyone else, is qualified to make laws and govern their own state at the most local level. The best solutions always come from the central government and Washington DC always knows best what will work in Texas or Idaho. Many people today loathe the concept of the 10th Amendment and are downright fearful of having the individual states decide for themselves.
How is the Federal government always much better at telling us how to live our lives, than the legislators of the individual States? Why are so many frightened at the idea of states making laws for themselves? Is local government really that scary?Is the Federal government better at telling us what to do than the individual States?
History says HELL NO!
Some government activities benefit from uniformity across the entire country, and some do not.
Essentially all civil and criminal law is within the control of the states.
There is, however, much in business law that benefits from country-wide uniformity.Is the Federal government better at telling us what to do than the individual States?
Well one only need look at our great victories during WWII, when the Alabama Marines, the Tennessee Navy, the Alaskan Coastguard, and the Virginian Army and South Dakotan Army did such a fine job!
(You grasp that the INTERNET is a Federally-managed, Federally-regulated entity, right? Do you have ANY idea how ironic your question is, in light of that fact? Silly goose!)
There is nothing more patriotic than limiting the Federal government to the few things which it is empowered to do by our Constitution.Is the Federal government better at telling us what to do than the individual States?
Who Can deliver to us total freedom from NWO coming operation?
O yeh...real good..
Some states have proved that they can rationally and fairly govern their people. While others would sooner have the bible a mandatory school book. States like Texas have only reformed because the federal government made them. Up till 2003 sodomy was illegal in Texas and people were arrested for it.......... Look at how Texas has treated its minorities, look at Arizona, police would be pulling over Mexicans because they are brown and asking them for proof that they are a citizen...... Yep, sounds like freedom.
@jcs78, I am a resident of Idaho, I love the state of Idaho and I have the right to live in Idaho without having my rights taken away. I do not want to move to California so that I can live freely, I want to continue living in Idaho freely. This is the UNITED STATES, not the seperate and unequal states......
I personally believe in State's rights. I feel what is best about this country is states rights. If the government decided everything, there would be no need for states. Everyone would have to accept 1 group of laws. With states rights, if you do not like the state laws, you have freedom to move,without papers like in socialist countries. For example, everyone anymore seems to want to make abortion and gay marriage federal interests. For those that agree with those can move if the state they live in do not allow it. For those who disagree, they can move if the state does allow it. This is JUST A SMALL EXAMPLE. If everything was federal control, you would have to accept laws wherever you are.
KEEP IN MIND, we were founded as a REPUBLIC, not a democracy. The founding fathers feared democracy. This is because the minority had no say so--- example, government healthcare.... This was rammed down everyones throat when it was "a fad." Now many people are turning against it. Up until 1914, the people elected the House of Representatives. Their job was to represent the PEOPLE of the state AND TO ENSURE the monority wasn't getting screwed on new legislation. The Senate was elected by THE STATE LEGISLATURES to represent what the state wanted. After 1914, the house as well as senate was elected by the people..... So it is now a Democracy where Fads and the wants of the federal government can easily manipulate the voters (the people).

What degree should I study for if I want to work for an organization like the UN?
I am especially interested in human rights and social justice. I would work for an international organization like the UN and Amnesty International.
But I'm not certain what degree I would need. I was thinking about Law or International Relations but again, I'm not sure. I'm currently studying Maths, Chemistry, History and Economics at sixth form college.
What should I study/what area should I look into?What degree should I study for if I want to work for an organization like the UN?
You need to visit the websites of these organisations and research the qualifications of persons who hold the posts that you would like.
It would also be useful to look at the vacancies on their website and the qualifications needed

Can you also explain how energy is conserved according to the Law of Conservation of energy.
Please TodayWhat energy conversion takes place on a roller coaster?
Roller coasters convert gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy. When the car is at the top of the highest hill (at the beginning) and stationary, its energy is in the form of gravitational potential energy. When it coasts down the track, its velocity and thus its kinetic energy increase due to the acceleration of gravity, while its potential energy decreases because it is losing height. If we neglect friction, the sum of its potential and kinetic energy remains the same throughout the whole ride, which is known as conservation of energy and which is why the car can never rise higher than the first hill. (If we consider friction, we see that some of the energy is in fact converted to thermal energy, heating up the car and tracks, but that's not very important to this question).

Whats the chances of ron paul becoming president.. if he is still running?
im not up to date on any of this and im not into presidential candidates nor do i even care. i think ron has a lot to offer for america and id personally like to see him as president. decriminalizing marijuana laws is exactly what i need.Whats the chances of ron paul becoming president.. if he is still running?
Ron Paul will let you state dictate you life, he wants federal government out of it. People are under the delusion that states are going to better dictate social order better than that of the federal government. Just look at the south for that marker in history. They have always been the lats ones to reform, not because they voluntary did so but because the federal government has had to force them to provide individual liberties and civil rights to ALL Americans. Its history, they do not like it, but it is what it is.Whats the chances of ron paul becoming president.. if he is still running?
Practically '0'. Ron is running a 'message' campaign and is hoping to build his following for the future. Mr. Paul will probably never see anyone from his Party (Libertarian) elected but his son or grandson might.
Yo! Talk about career politicians - how about generational politicians.Whats the chances of ron paul becoming president.. if he is still running?
I hope he will win, but to be honest I don't think he has much of a chance. The Republicans hate him, they wish he would take a long walk off a 5,000 foot cliff. And that's why I like him!
Yea exactly. Lets nominate a president because he wants to legalize pot. That will solve all of our nations problems. (sarcasm). No, he really doesn't have a chance, to be honest. Anyone who disagrees or votes this down is just not looking at reality.

Burka ban in France: what prompted this decision?
Hello, my name is Carmen and I live in the USA. For several months now, I have been coming across news articles saying women who wear the burkah will be fined. I guess I can understand that. But, why is there another law that says a husband/brother/father who forces a woman to wear a birkah will also be fined or jailed? This last bit I do not understand.Burka ban in France: what prompted this decision?
i live in australia. sometimes collectors for the wilderness society dress in koala costumes
i wonder if they would also be fined in france?
*why is there another law that says a husband/brother/father who forces a woman to wear a birkah will also be fined or jailed?*
because it is unlawful to force another person to break the lawBurka ban in France: what prompted this decision?
It is called freedom for the women, who are enslaved by men predenting to be muslim (there is nothing in the Koran about burka and other veil...) and you are so afraid that their lack of virility will throw their mates in the arms of real men...Burka ban in France: what prompted this decision?
There's two things to take into account. One is that in France religion is part of the private life sphere so gives you no right to ignore French law or ask for exceptions.
The second one is that a burka is seen as a sign of submission and inferior status, a woman wearing it says that she has handed over all her rights to her owner, voluntarily or not. Which is very close to slavery.
France has this weird belief that women are not slaves or property of their male kin or husband, forcing a woman to wear a burka, taking from them the rights given to them by the French Republic just because they think their own religious rules gives them the right to ignore French law is thus illegal.

Can my mom place me in juvenile hall for talking back? And other q's too?
My mom always said she'll put me in juvi after our arguments i was wondering can she really place me in juvenile hall just for that? i have not laid my hands on her unless defending myself from her. She kicked me out once then as i left she went to my friends house and said i had run away. Can she do that? i am 14 yrs old. She slaps me around pulls my hair and also verbally abuses me she also physically abuses me but im not sure if its counted as so.if she calls the police and say i am out of control what will they do when they get to my house? will i get a say? what is the law of abuse ? what can they do as far as punishments to a child?Can my mom place me in juvenile hall for talking back? And other q's too?
OK, first off you cant go to Juvenal Hall for talking back. Next you will get a say if she presses charges on you, because they have to give a trial. Also, you need to call CPS (child protective services) because that is ABUSE and it is ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck and Have a WONDERFUL Day :DCan my mom place me in juvenile hall for talking back? And other q's too?
Why don't you just stop talking back?? It's hard to do but it is the respectful thing to do.
And I don't think they can actually put you in juvi for talking back, but if she is actually physically abusing you you can do something about that. Call the police and choose the option for the non-emergency line and ask them. They'll be able to point you in the right direction.Can my mom place me in juvenile hall for talking back? And other q's too?
She can't put you in juvie - only the court can do that.
She can, however, turn you over to the state and put you in a foster home.
Don't you have a father, aunt/uncle/grandparent, teacher or someone you can talk to? If she truly is abusive she should lose her parental rights.
your mom cannot send you to juvi unless you break a law of the government. rules of her house are not laws. as long as you dont cuss at her, dont break anything, or cause a huge scene, she cannot do anything.
if you are 14 and she kicked you out of the house, that is child neglect. the only reason she called to report you a run away was so she wouldnt get in trouble.
but if you are 14 and your mom hits you, and pulls your hair, that is assault. she can be arrested. if i were you, i would get a hidden camera, and get something on tape. then you have evidence.
sounds like you are in a rough spot. i dont know if you are male or female, but around the time i turned 14 (i am male) the way i got my mom to quit hitting me was by smiling and laughing as she hit me, and told her she hit like a girl. eventually she realized it didnt hurt me and she stopped. i am now 30, and she still annoys the hell out of me, but neither of my parents have hit me in well over 15 years. i could have probably had my dad put in prison for how he treated me when i was young, but karma bit him in the *** with 3 heart attacks and hes really nice now

if you are 14 and she kicked you out of the house, that is child neglect. the only reason she called to report you a run away was so she wouldnt get in trouble.
but if you are 14 and your mom hits you, and pulls your hair, that is assault. she can be arrested. if i were you, i would get a hidden camera, and get something on tape. then you have evidence.
sounds like you are in a rough spot. i dont know if you are male or female, but around the time i turned 14 (i am male) the way i got my mom to quit hitting me was by smiling and laughing as she hit me, and told her she hit like a girl. eventually she realized it didnt hurt me and she stopped. i am now 30, and she still annoys the hell out of me, but neither of my parents have hit me in well over 15 years. i could have probably had my dad put in prison for how he treated me when i was young, but karma bit him in the *** with 3 heart attacks and hes really nice now
Legal question indian giving?
my ex girlfriend bought me a gift worth 250.00 in nov 2011 now that we are broken up she is saying it belongs to her and shes going to call the cops to get it back, can she do that, what are the laws in regard to indian giving? can the cops come to my house and make me give something to someone? can i be charged with theft?Legal question indian giving?
Do you have any proof it was a gift? Was it for your birthday or for a particular anniversary?
The cops won't deal with it. It's a civil matter. If you have any proof, such as if it was a gift that was opened at a party with others there, that will help you with a witness or more.
She can call the cops and they might ask you to give it back, then you tell them it was a gift. Regardless if that happens, her only real way to get it back is to sue you in small claims court and prove it was not a gift. :)
@ Who aren't you?: The cops might be involved in the beginning depending on what she told them. If she say he took it from my apartment with out me knowing, then the cops will make a theft inquiry.Legal question indian giving?
A gift belongs to you. She can inform the cops of anything she wants. For instance, if she informs the cops that there was no gift and you broke into her home and stole it last night, the cops might investigate and might act on that information. You could then be charged. If you mean to ask about convictions, if the jury believes the thing was gift, then you will not be convicted of theft.
First of all, nobody says "indian giving" any more. That's something I'd expect to hear my grandmother say.
Second, the police won't get in the middle of this dispute. This is Judge Judy's jurisdiction.Legal question indian giving?
First: "Indian giving" is an incorrect term, the Native American Indians got all their possessions STOLEN by the Europeans, so they really had the right to demand to have their things back.
Second: You can't be arrested. This is a civil case, and police wont get involved.
Third: Gifts can't be taken away by the giver. The gift became your property. When your girlfriend gave you the gift she lost all rights over it. If you have any evidence, like witnesses or a greeting card proving it was a gift, then that's enough.
Also it would be illegal for your ex to make a false police report. If she tells the cops the gift belongs to her then she could get herself arrested and charged for that.
Legally, it is your property. Unless it was expressly a loan, she has no way of getting it back. She is just trying to scare you into returning it. Don't worry about it, just ignore her.long john silvers locations renova

Life is scaring me right now, what should I do?
About a month and a half ago my life was amazing, I couldn't be any happier... I was graduating high school soon, I got accepted into an amazing law school... they gave me over half my tuition (70,000.) Life was good, and I was excited for summer. However, on April 20th... I got a call from my friend's mom saying that my best friend had shot himself in the head. I've been dealing with this burden and it has not been easy. My grades have slipped a little.. I feel sad on some random days... you know, just normal grief.. I understand that. Well, just yesterday... I was at an amusement park with my sister and her friend... it started raining, we went back to the car and they started smoking some pot. They got caught... the car was searched and they found some alcohol along with some xtc. Luckily, they couldn't pin anything on me... I was just there... in the wrong place at the wrong time. My sister on the other hand got arrested for possession... I'm scared that I'm actually going to get into some trouble and lose everything that I've worked for... even though I've done nothing wrong. what should I do?Life is scaring me right now, what should I do?
HS is over. Life is not nearly as easy. It's time to grow up and make better decisions for yourself about where you're going to be and with whom, or suffer the consequences.
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. It is possible that it could cause you a little PTSD, and the sooner you speak to a professional to process what you feel, the less those feelings will influence you, and the effects could subside.
Evaluate your priorities closely...if you worked as hard as you believe to be headed in the direction you desire, you need to respect that a little more and not gamble it for a momentarily carefree good time. In the real world, adults play for keeps and it's not a matter of getting detention or suspension anymore.
When reading this i thought of the movie "the blind side" He came out of impossible surroundings in which most people die very young and never get the chance to go to school or have a scholarship.
So this is wonderful that you have this opportunity and don't let anyone take that from you.Life is scaring me right now, what should I do?
dont worry things happen, somethign similar happened to me once, well let them test you if they want to get you in trouble! let them saerch you when they see you are inosent im sure nothin will happen you sound like a good person you've done nothing wrong you dont deserve any of that so dont worry things will clear up. good luck
this may not sound very fun...
but., why dont you try making some new
friends?(: good ones. just like you. you guys could
have the same interests and everything. and they'll
keep you out of trouble(: btw;;im so sorry about your friend):

Ask God for help, he'll hear you, and help.
The event of your dear friend's suicide is unfortunate and beyond your control. Grieving is a long process and some of us take longer than others.
However, the incident with your sister should serve as a warning to you. Here are two people you love and respect but perhaps their lifestyle will put your future in jeopardy and to avoid that is to avoid hanging out with them and anyone who might behave or do pot or any drug sooner or later you would be drawn into this lifestyle. Apparently drug addiction has nothing to so with intelligence, but it does start with peer pressure and/or being or feeling down - you are vulnerable at this time.
Drugs possession is a felony and could really screw up your life if you went to jail. I'm a med student and instead of hanging out with some of my friends I stay home and study - even if your sister was smoking pot at home it would have been better than being caught under the influence in a vehicle and with possession - BE WARNED MY FRIEND - and good luck

What is the difference between 2 and 6 units in a non-regulated rent scheme? are 2 unit dwellings?
meaning private residence with a rental, covered under federal law? I don't think so. But if a building has more than three units, but less than 6 units, what category of tenant protection is available? I was on google scholar and using in various combinations, the search terms "more than three units" and "less than 6 units," the case law was unclear. Everything seem to dwell on 2 units. Suggest a new search string or let me know the category of law this falls within. Thanks to everyone reading this.

What degree should I study for if I want to work for an organization like the UN?
I am especially interested in human rights and social justice. I would work for an international organization like the UN and Amnesty International.
But I'm not certain what degree I would need. I was thinking about Law or International Relations but again, I'm not sure. I'm currently studying Maths, Chemistry, History and Economics at sixth form college.
What should I study/what area should I look into?What degree should I study for if I want to work for an organization like the UN?
You need to visit the websites of these organisations and research the qualifications of persons who hold the posts that you would like.
It would also be useful to look at the vacancies on their website and the qualifications needed

Can my mom place me in juvenile hall for talking back? And other q's too?
My mom always said she'll put me in juvi after our arguments i was wondering can she really place me in juvenile hall just for that? i have not laid my hands on her unless defending myself from her. She kicked me out once then as i left she went to my friends house and said i had run away. Can she do that? i am 14 yrs old. She slaps me around pulls my hair and also verbally abuses me she also physically abuses me but im not sure if its counted as so.if she calls the police and say i am out of control what will they do when they get to my house? will i get a say? what is the law of abuse ? what can they do as far as punishments to a child?Can my mom place me in juvenile hall for talking back? And other q's too?
OK, first off you cant go to Juvenal Hall for talking back. Next you will get a say if she presses charges on you, because they have to give a trial. Also, you need to call CPS (child protective services) because that is ABUSE and it is ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck and Have a WONDERFUL Day :DCan my mom place me in juvenile hall for talking back? And other q's too?
Why don't you just stop talking back?? It's hard to do but it is the respectful thing to do.
And I don't think they can actually put you in juvi for talking back, but if she is actually physically abusing you you can do something about that. Call the police and choose the option for the non-emergency line and ask them. They'll be able to point you in the right direction.Can my mom place me in juvenile hall for talking back? And other q's too?
She can't put you in juvie - only the court can do that.
She can, however, turn you over to the state and put you in a foster home.
Don't you have a father, aunt/uncle/grandparent, teacher or someone you can talk to? If she truly is abusive she should lose her parental rights.
your mom cannot send you to juvi unless you break a law of the government. rules of her house are not laws. as long as you dont cuss at her, dont break anything, or cause a huge scene, she cannot do anything.
if you are 14 and she kicked you out of the house, that is child neglect. the only reason she called to report you a run away was so she wouldnt get in trouble.
but if you are 14 and your mom hits you, and pulls your hair, that is assault. she can be arrested. if i were you, i would get a hidden camera, and get something on tape. then you have evidence.
sounds like you are in a rough spot. i dont know if you are male or female, but around the time i turned 14 (i am male) the way i got my mom to quit hitting me was by smiling and laughing as she hit me, and told her she hit like a girl. eventually she realized it didnt hurt me and she stopped. i am now 30, and she still annoys the hell out of me, but neither of my parents have hit me in well over 15 years. i could have probably had my dad put in prison for how he treated me when i was young, but karma bit him in the *** with 3 heart attacks and hes really nice nowmike geary chuys

Legal question indian giving?
my ex girlfriend bought me a gift worth 250.00 in nov 2011 now that we are broken up she is saying it belongs to her and shes going to call the cops to get it back, can she do that, what are the laws in regard to indian giving? can the cops come to my house and make me give something to someone? can i be charged with theft?Legal question indian giving?
Do you have any proof it was a gift? Was it for your birthday or for a particular anniversary?
The cops won't deal with it. It's a civil matter. If you have any proof, such as if it was a gift that was opened at a party with others there, that will help you with a witness or more.
She can call the cops and they might ask you to give it back, then you tell them it was a gift. Regardless if that happens, her only real way to get it back is to sue you in small claims court and prove it was not a gift. :)
@ Who aren't you?: The cops might be involved in the beginning depending on what she told them. If she say he took it from my apartment with out me knowing, then the cops will make a theft inquiry.Legal question indian giving?
A gift belongs to you. She can inform the cops of anything she wants. For instance, if she informs the cops that there was no gift and you broke into her home and stole it last night, the cops might investigate and might act on that information. You could then be charged. If you mean to ask about convictions, if the jury believes the thing was gift, then you will not be convicted of theft.
First of all, nobody says "indian giving" any more. That's something I'd expect to hear my grandmother say.
Second, the police won't get in the middle of this dispute. This is Judge Judy's jurisdiction.Legal question indian giving?
First: "Indian giving" is an incorrect term, the Native American Indians got all their possessions STOLEN by the Europeans, so they really had the right to demand to have their things back.
Second: You can't be arrested. This is a civil case, and police wont get involved.
Third: Gifts can't be taken away by the giver. The gift became your property. When your girlfriend gave you the gift she lost all rights over it. If you have any evidence, like witnesses or a greeting card proving it was a gift, then that's enough.
Also it would be illegal for your ex to make a false police report. If she tells the cops the gift belongs to her then she could get herself arrested and charged for that.
Legally, it is your property. Unless it was expressly a loan, she has no way of getting it back. She is just trying to scare you into returning it. Don't worry about it, just ignore her.

Is it worth trying to get in the FBI?
Im 16 and female, and i know i want to do something in criminal law. For example, a detective or Crime Scene Investigator. My goal is to get into the FBI and be an FBI detective. But i don't know what i should do/study, to get there. Should i join the military for a few years? Should i get a job as a cop and work my way up? Please help!Is it worth trying to get in the FBI?
The FBI is a very hard agency to get with, they require at minimum a Bachelors degree preferably in Accounting plus 3 years of professional working experience, preferably in Law Enforcement or the military. Your record has to be squeaky clean and your credit has to be great. You must be able to get a top secret security clearance if hired so if you have any criminal charges in you past, that will automatically disqualify you. However, the FBI is a very prestigious agency that pays very well, and there are many jobs you can do within the FBI. But to get an offer of employment from them you need to be a top notch citizen with nothing on your record and a great image with the community you live in.
If I were you I would go into the military for 4 years, get my Bachelors degree, do some volunteer work so you can show you are a positive influence in your community, and stay out of as much trouble as possible, DO NOT hang around people that are likely to get arrested, because if you get arrested and charged with multiple crimes your shot with the FBI will be over. Also other than student loans, make sure your credit is perfect, you cannot get a top security clearance if you have bad credit, this means make sure you pay all your bills and pay them on time and don't get really far into debt. Don't have a lot of credit cards that have not been paid off etc.
During the hiring process the FBI will send a background investigator to your current residence and they will talk to all your neighbors and all your previous employers to see what kind of a person you are. That's why I said do volunteer work, show you them you are being a positive influence on your community. And don't hang out or bring bad people around you, your family or your residence.
You are very young so you have a great opportunity to make sure you complete all these steps, if you do not want to go into the military then get a job with a Law Enforcement agency, whether it be county, city, or state. But I cannot stress enough the most important thing is going to be your personal history, if you hang around bad people who break the law it will eventually rub off on you and or cause you to get caught up in their nonsense so stay positive and stay focused. Its a very tough career to get into but it will be worth it in the end.Is it worth trying to get in the FBI?
James Jordan's answer was pretty good. It as not exactly right, but it was a good try. Why would some asshole give him a thumbs down?
To get int the FBI you need a 4 year degree with a super high GPA, a flawless;ess background, three years professional work experience (that leaves McDonald's and the Car wash out) and great physical condition. They are highly selective. If you are highly motivated, it can be done. Check out this link.http://www.fbijobs.gov/

What is Newton鈥檚 Second Law?
What is Newton鈥檚 Second Law? Write the equation(s) and the qualitative explanation.What is Newton鈥檚 Second Law?
Newton鈥檚 Second law: The acceleration a of a body is parallel and directly proportional to the net force F and inversely proportional to the mass m, i.e., F = ma
Newton鈥?second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object...
The law is, F=ma, where m is the mass of the object that undergoes an acceleration a due to an applied force F.What is Newton鈥檚 Second Law?
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Force (F) = Mass (m) x acceleration (a)
Fnet=ma
The force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration.What is Newton鈥檚 Second Law?
F = m*a
force equals mass times acceleration
F=ma. Why didn't you just google it? lol

The law is, F=ma, where m is the mass of the object that undergoes an acceleration a due to an applied force F.What is Newton鈥檚 Second Law?
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Force (F) = Mass (m) x acceleration (a)
Fnet=ma
The force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration.What is Newton鈥檚 Second Law?
F = m*a
force equals mass times acceleration
F=ma. Why didn't you just google it? lol
Verbal warning at work, was the process correct?
I have made 2 personal phone calls. The first time I made it, I was given a written warning and interviewed by 2nd line manager. I did it again and then I got a verbal warning by my 1st line manager. Now I printed a personal document and am being called for an interview by 2nd line manager for final written warning.
My works offical procedure guide says that for a minor misconduct such as this:
1. verbal warning by 1st line manager
2. written warning by 1st line manager only
3. written warning by 2nd line manager
4. dismissal
now I was given a verbal warning after my 1st written warning given by my 2nd line manager. does this make my written warning void because:
1. it was conducted by 2nd line manager
2. because i should have been given verbal warning first
and if so, what is the law for this procedural mistake.
Thank you for your time and patience.Verbal warning at work, was the process correct?
The process is described in your employee manual. There is no law for how a company handles discipline policies. If you are in a union, then there are procedures set forth that the company must abide by. You deserve a written warning, you were told once not to make personal phone calls on company time and you went ahead and did it again. If you really were a valued employee, they probably would not have made a big deal about it.
If you are asking if you can go to HR and ask that the warning be removed, the answer is yes you can, but they are in no way obligated to do so, and most likely won't.
There may have been reasons for the other person to have done the warning.
If you are wondering if you can avoid being fired by using these 'technicalities', the answer is no.
Why not just follow the rules?Verbal warning at work, was the process correct?
lol you broke the same rule twice, then think oh well if I can not make personal calls then I am going to be ok copying personal documents at work and now wonder how to get out of things.......
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are not the sterling employer you seem to think you are and THEY are getting their ducks in a row to fire you with just cause and thus stop you from being able to claim unemployment.
Do NOT see a dang thing they did wrong, you on the other hand...............
There is no law for this. It's an employer policy, not something set in stone. If they want to fire you after the first time for printing out something, they are legally allowed to do so.
How about you do your damn job instead of wasting your employer's resources on your personal crap?Verbal warning at work, was the process correct?
Years ago we only got two warnings. The first verbal (by your immediate boss but it went in the file anyway) and the second was getting called into the office of the personnel director and told "this is a warning and one more time and you're out immediately". Emergency calls were permitted at any time, and other calls were made on breaks or lunch (or before you started work or at the end of the day after you'd clocked out...and we had phones you could leave a detailed message on, so no one had to contact you during work).
No matter what the procedure is let me say that they are aware and plan to make a big deal out of it. Just don't do it again. and if you plan to do it again you best be prepared with resume in hand and on your way to drop that resume off take a couple hours off and stop at the food stamps office to sign up.
youy have an expectation to be reasonably treated for violation of a ccmmon work rule,use your off/break time
for personal tihs,UNLESS an emergency exists,you are being unreasonable and your gig is in jeopardy
follow the rule,keep the gig
the l rule is within customary labor law,spiderman the musical characters of dragon age 2

What was the worst and tackiest wedding you ever went to?
this is the worst and tackiest wedding i went to..... lets see if you can top it
i went to the wedding of my second cousin-in-law, she is cousin
to my late husband. we never had that much to do with her family
her mother is late husband's cousin, it is odd none of the rest of
his family is like that, they didn't live right to much drinking.
they even got picked up for drinking and driving
well they sent me an invite and i decided to go seeing that they remembered me
and now i wished i stayed home
the wedding was in the living room of their house
bride is 8 months pregnant she wares a white hoodie and white minnie skirt
she walks in sticking her belly out more then it already was
i felt out of place i was the only one in a dress everyone was in jeans or shorts
i think the minster was a friend of theirs that got his license to marry people over the
internet, he told the groom you can tongue your bride now
that is what the groom did and he grabbed her butt, every one started hooting
i told them that i couldn't stay for the party that i had somewhere i had to go
but, stupid me locked the keys in the car, had to go back inside to call
a friend to bring me some keys,so i stayed for the party
the bride toast each other with bear cans that had a ribbon tied around them
the wedding cake topper was made of a barbbie doll stuffed to make
her look pregnant and a ken doll
when the dancing started the bride danced revolting, and the groom said to her
shake that baby, baby
my friend came with the keays and i was so glad to get out of there
do you have a wedding story to top that one
i would love to hear itWhat was the worst and tackiest wedding you ever went to?
One where all the food was deep fried.
My husband and I were married while serving in Iraq. The wedding started out fine in the mess hall.We invited 30 of our closest soldiers, but actually over 200 showed up out of respect and lined the walkway to the hall.That was amazing.About an hour into the wedding the barracks were bombed and there were 14 injuries and 1 death.....that is how we started our marriage....What was the worst and tackiest wedding you ever went to?
Yes my last one now Divorced my EX brought her son then 18 yrs a camera ,and he said don't get a photographer i will take all the wedding photos with hes 拢500. worth of equipment so we all stood there laughed and cried and two weeks after the wedding my EX said i have some bad news for you the photos my Son took of the wedding not one came out ,It all went down hill from then ,
My now ex-boyfriend and I flew to Hawaii so he could be the best man in his Army buddy's wedding. We spent money on two plane tickets, hotel for six days, food for six days, rented his tux, etc...went to the wedding, which was lovely...only to come to the reception at a local restaurant and find out after we've ordered that each guest was responsible for paying for their own meal and drink.
I used the money I was going to give them for a gift and paid for our meals.What was the worst and tackiest wedding you ever went to?
The worst wedding I went to was similar to the one you posted, but with a bizarre twist.
The couple was young. The bride was pregnant. The wedding was held in a living room. The bride was barefoot (claimed her feet were too swollen for shoes). The "reception" consisted of hotdogs and potato salad.
The bizarre twist was: up until the time my ex-husband and I received the invitation, we thought the bride and groom were brother and sister!
They were our next door neighbors, which consisted of a 50-ish year old couple, a 19 year old girl, an 18 year old boy, a 17 year old girl, and a 5 year old boy. When we first met them, the older couple simply said they lived there "with their children." We later found out the 17 year old girl was actually the 18 year old boy's girlfriend, whom they had taken in and had guardianship of, and the 5 year old boy was actually their grandson, from their 24 year old drug-addicted daughter (who didn't live with them).
My husband and I were a bit dressed up. Everyone else was in jeans. We didn't stay for the "reception" as their kitchen was filthy and we were afraid to eat anything. We gave them $50. She lost the baby a few months later and they were divorced about 2 years later.
This took place in Alabama. Swear to God.
hahahha, no, I do not have a story to top that hahhaha
I've been to a wedding with a large budget and a great location. but ultimately, lack or class, absence of consideration of others, greediness and a self-indulgent attitude, made this wedding the very worse: there were 18 GM and BM PLUS flower girl and ring bearer... and EACH had to make a speech, along with parents and the bride and groom so they were 24 speeches!!!!! Zzzzz
The ring bearer carried a wooden box monogrammed with their initials and the groom opened the box with a skeleton key with a golden tassel, the whole thing was RIDICULOUS.
Then we had to sit through a 20 minute slide show of the bride (yep, just her on a make believe photo shoot) and then do the stupid dollar dance on a $40K WEDDING! People had to fight over the tables because they were no seating arrangements, and there was not enough food for everyone. The bride;s side of the guest list showed up in shorts and flip flops.
The bride wanted to show the opulent cake they had bought and put it outsize for everyone to oohhh ahhh over it. Well, the cake melted! It was 100 degrees that day!! The venue was isolated, everyone has hungy and thisty and all we had was alcohol and cheese and crackers after being there at 930 am, ceremony was at 430 , we had no water and NO shade. It was a mess. The favors were piratied CD's of the couple's wedding music which as lame, with a picture of the bride on the cover. Tossed it in the trash. The thank you card arrive a year later with a collage of pictures of the bride, a mass generated message inside and 10 Cd's of the bride's photo shoot pictures. **GAGS!**
That was about 4 years ago and I'm still offended by it. We spent well over 2k in plane tickets, hotels, rental car, attire rental and gave them a $300 wedding gift, plus hours and hours of labor setting up center pieces, picking up candles and liquor, installing drapes and a stupid chandelier she wanted hung outdoors. My husband had to clinb a tree to hang it up and he was wearing a tuxedo!. When our wedding came about, they gave us $100. Grrrr! the whole thing was trashy.
I went to my cousin's wedding. Five members of our family chartered a plane from New England to Long Island, NY for the 12:00 noontime wedding. The ceremony and reception took place in a lovely glass room over looking the water in a restaurant/banquet hall.
There was a table set up with plastic cups, all full of water, without ice. And, on another table was a huge pot of coffee with styrofoam cups, powdered creamer and sugar with plastic spoons.
The meal was some veggie-type meatless meatloaf that looked like dog food. The mashed potatoes were instant freeze dried re-hydrated flakes and the green zucchini squash was overcooked. The music was a local radio station. There was a table set up for "wedding gifts" with a choice of charities for guests to donate, with suggested price donations ranging from $50. to $200. All of the guests were flabbergasted.
We felt like prisoners as were stuck there with only a plane and no car to get the heck out of there without asking another guest to leave, so we grinned and bared it. Soon enough word got out that there was a bar downstairs that served cold drinks and had a bar menu. As rude as it was, we went downstairs for drinks and some edible food. At that point we did not give a crap if we offended anyone because our actions were a reaction. It was mealtime, we were hungry and the food served at that reception was garbage. It was a hot July day and room temperature water was not cutting it.
Half of the reception found it's way downstairs to the bar. Hey, we are all Irish and need to wet our whistle!!
No tacky wedding but the way I was treated at my ex BIL's wedding WAS very tacky.
I was married to my ex-husband at the time. I was the eldest and only daughter in law, married to the groom's oldest brother and mother to the first born and only grandchildren, the ex-BIL's only nieces.
My ex-husband was one of the groomsmen.
I was not sat at the head table with my in laws but at one of the back tables with neighbors who the bride used to babysit for. They kept asking me why I wasn't at the head table when they found out what relationship I had with the bridal couple.
When my ex-MIL saw where her new daughter in law's father had seated me ( the father of the bride insisted on doing the table seating plan) she almost blew a fuse....The MOB tried to smooth it over by running over to my table %26amp; my MIL's table, apologizing for her husband And every time she saw me that night!.....I stayed gracious...my ex-MIL did NOT....the Bride's father, who had been raised by his two elder sisters, dragged him into the lobby and we could hear them loudly reaming him out over the social slap he had given me...in both english and italian. He avoided both myself and my ex-MIL the whole night.
When it came time to do the family portraits no one, not even my own husband ( at the time) noticed I wasn't there- ( I assumed I had been in the ladies room when they called for family)...prophetic I guess lol......anyway it wasn't caught until the wedding portraits arrived...and ex-MIL blew another fuse. Now both her and her son should have noticed I was missing too, but we won't get into that hahaha....
Oh, the prime rib was medium 'rare' alright....I was afraid to put my fork to it for fear of it mooing...the blood had run into all the side dishes and it was gross...now I like my meat medium rare but NOT on the hoof....I think half the plates were sent back to the kitchen/left untouched........so I got salad , a roll and wedding cake as my meal.....
...plus my table was almost on top of the live band so I left the reception temporarily deaf. lol.
Ive never been to a "tacky" wedding but ive seen alot of tacky guests.
%26amp;%26amp;%26amp;
I thought my wedding was bad, but that took the cake! I was 6 months pregnant on my wedding (found out about the pregnancy 5 months before the wedding), but i at least tried to look nice, and tried to have a decent wedding. I did have to wear flip flops because my feet were so swollen from setting up the hall the night before. My mother in law's motorcycle club showed up in jeans and bought a ton of alcohol, on top of being drunker than a skunk. We only wanted 1 keg of beer. My mother in law was drunk before the wedding even at 10 am when we were getting our hair done. She kept telling everyone including my friends and family my husband only married because I got pregnant. My husband uncle had to go around and apologize for her behavior. Then the motorcycle club walked over to the wedding in the next room, and invited their guests to our wedding. I didn't know that until we got back from our honeymoon, but it explained why the other bride gave me dirty looks when we were leaving.
I love these stories, even if I can't top them! In fact, my story is about my sister and it's closest to what happened to Common Sense.
This person she knew through my BIL's family got married, and everything leading up to the wedding was high rent district stuff. Even though my sis had never even met the bride, she was invited to TWO showers and went to both (my sis is awesome, but she was born without a backbone). Then she got invited to the bachelorette, which was a THREE day extravanganza. I told her if she went, I'd never speak to her again :)
So the wedding took place...and then came the "reception". Guests dressed to the nines in a nice hotel. What they got for "dinner" was a dessert buffet (and not a big one) and several veggie platters. There was a full open bar and tons of champagne.
My BIL flipped! He gathered together all his friends and relatives and suggested they go to dinner. They retrieved their "cards" from the box and left. We later learned that the first thing these people did was subject their guests to a long slide show. While the lights were low, the second group of people bailed out so when the lights came back on, there were maybe 30 people left to enjoy the DJ. The bride was like "where did everyone go"? And her MOH was also MIA, maybe a couple bridesmaids as well. She had like 10 of them. Gawd.
Maybe the one where the bride was in her late 50's, wore a traditional white wedding dress (with veil), had her adult daughter as her attendant and her grandson as ring bearer and granddaughter as flower girl. Oh, yeah, this was her 4th marriage.
Maybe it was the one where the guests were the obnoxious ones. I spent hours doing the calligraphy for the place cards at the wedding breakfast and arranging the tables/guests like the bride wanted for her VERY formal wedding. Some of the guests didn't like that their date/spouse was seated at the head table and went around switching (and trashing) the place cards so they could sit where and with who they wanted. They loudly complained about the food and never once told anybody they enjoyed it, thank you etc... Then there was the reception.....somebody went to the store and came back with several cases of beer. Some of the cans were deliberately shaken so they would spew all over the guests. These same classless people changed into their finest white trash clothes before all of the formal pictures were taken. Before everyone had eaten some of them were fixing 'to go' plates because they wanted food for later (as in the next day). You get the idea.
Ive never been to a tacky wedding, but have a comical story. The day before my sister got married there was a terrible snow and ice storm. Her cake was being made by a person 30 miles away. It was too bad to drive 30 miles so we went to the grocery store and bought a sheet cake.
the worst wedding i went to was a mormon shotgun wedding where the bride was pregnant.. in the relief society room, bologna sandwiches and sheet cake.
I love these stories, thank you all for sharing them- I have laughed a lot. I don't know if this tops these, but at my aunt's reception she and her new husband both had way too much to drink and actually got into a fist fight. Everyone was sitting around at the reception hall eating dinner/ standing and talking when she punched him in the face and he fell back onto the buffet table. He got up and started swinging and it turned into a full-on fight. We, needless to say, promptly left.
The bride's dress had period blood on it, and the ring was made out of a twisty-tie (y'know, like the ones they tie bags with). The vows were really ambiguous, like they weren't really committing to anything. There was no honeymoon, but I gave the groom oral sex.
i went to the wedding of my second cousin-in-law, she is cousin

Ive never been to a "tacky" wedding but ive seen alot of tacky guests.

I thought my wedding was bad, but that took the cake! I was 6 months pregnant on my wedding (found out about the pregnancy 5 months before the wedding), but i at least tried to look nice, and tried to have a decent wedding. I did have to wear flip flops because my feet were so swollen from setting up the hall the night before. My mother in law's motorcycle club showed up in jeans and bought a ton of alcohol, on top of being drunker than a skunk. We only wanted 1 keg of beer. My mother in law was drunk before the wedding even at 10 am when we were getting our hair done. She kept telling everyone including my friends and family my husband only married because I got pregnant. My husband uncle had to go around and apologize for her behavior. Then the motorcycle club walked over to the wedding in the next room, and invited their guests to our wedding. I didn't know that until we got back from our honeymoon, but it explained why the other bride gave me dirty looks when we were leaving.
I love these stories, even if I can't top them! In fact, my story is about my sister and it's closest to what happened to Common Sense.
This person she knew through my BIL's family got married, and everything leading up to the wedding was high rent district stuff. Even though my sis had never even met the bride, she was invited to TWO showers and went to both (my sis is awesome, but she was born without a backbone). Then she got invited to the bachelorette, which was a THREE day extravanganza. I told her if she went, I'd never speak to her again :)
So the wedding took place...and then came the "reception". Guests dressed to the nines in a nice hotel. What they got for "dinner" was a dessert buffet (and not a big one) and several veggie platters. There was a full open bar and tons of champagne.
My BIL flipped! He gathered together all his friends and relatives and suggested they go to dinner. They retrieved their "cards" from the box and left. We later learned that the first thing these people did was subject their guests to a long slide show. While the lights were low, the second group of people bailed out so when the lights came back on, there were maybe 30 people left to enjoy the DJ. The bride was like "where did everyone go"? And her MOH was also MIA, maybe a couple bridesmaids as well. She had like 10 of them. Gawd.
Maybe the one where the bride was in her late 50's, wore a traditional white wedding dress (with veil), had her adult daughter as her attendant and her grandson as ring bearer and granddaughter as flower girl. Oh, yeah, this was her 4th marriage.
Maybe it was the one where the guests were the obnoxious ones. I spent hours doing the calligraphy for the place cards at the wedding breakfast and arranging the tables/guests like the bride wanted for her VERY formal wedding. Some of the guests didn't like that their date/spouse was seated at the head table and went around switching (and trashing) the place cards so they could sit where and with who they wanted. They loudly complained about the food and never once told anybody they enjoyed it, thank you etc... Then there was the reception.....somebody went to the store and came back with several cases of beer. Some of the cans were deliberately shaken so they would spew all over the guests. These same classless people changed into their finest white trash clothes before all of the formal pictures were taken. Before everyone had eaten some of them were fixing 'to go' plates because they wanted food for later (as in the next day). You get the idea.
Ive never been to a tacky wedding, but have a comical story. The day before my sister got married there was a terrible snow and ice storm. Her cake was being made by a person 30 miles away. It was too bad to drive 30 miles so we went to the grocery store and bought a sheet cake.
the worst wedding i went to was a mormon shotgun wedding where the bride was pregnant.. in the relief society room, bologna sandwiches and sheet cake.
I love these stories, thank you all for sharing them- I have laughed a lot. I don't know if this tops these, but at my aunt's reception she and her new husband both had way too much to drink and actually got into a fist fight. Everyone was sitting around at the reception hall eating dinner/ standing and talking when she punched him in the face and he fell back onto the buffet table. He got up and started swinging and it turned into a full-on fight. We, needless to say, promptly left.
The bride's dress had period blood on it, and the ring was made out of a twisty-tie (y'know, like the ones they tie bags with). The vows were really ambiguous, like they weren't really committing to anything. There was no honeymoon, but I gave the groom oral sex.
Why do police have to take the drinking and driving law so seriously?
So from across the street, there's this black guy with a gun in his pocket, he's just riding his bike while at the same time drinking grape soda; steering with one hand, drinking with the other hand, then an officer stops him and the black guy got arrested. I couldn't hear what was going on, but apparently he was arrested for drinking and driving at the same time.Why do police have to take the drinking and driving law so seriously?
If he was arrested for DUI then it wasn't just soda. If he was drunk and riding his bicycle and ran out infront of another car and was killed he would be at fault. It is for the protection of the drunk and the innocent motorists. Also a bike is considered a vehicle.
because DUI i like in dangering everyone, he or see could kill people, like children, what gives that person the right to put yours or mine life in danger, it doesn't, now some of the stuff cops do is wrong, like if a person is trying to sleep cause he or she is drunk and don't want to drive, and go to sleep in there car, they still get them for DUI, that's dumb, like if you are walking while your drunk, they get you walking while drunk, but i believe in never to drink and drive,well byeWhy do police have to take the drinking and driving law so seriously?
WITH A GUN IN HIS POCKET (HINT HINT)
What is a guy on a bicycle doing with a gun in his pocket?
Many guys case the streets for houses that are vacant; or lights out (burlary) on a bicycle.
I mean whose gonna stop a guy on a bike right?
Who would question a guy on a bike?
Skin color makes no difference. The police probably saw the weapon and the guy *probably* did not have a carry permit.
Game over
Thank you for playing

LOL they're just trying to protect citizens like you!
Drunk and careless drivers kill 44,000 people per year in the USA.
Murderers only kill 15,000 people a year. Murders are hard to prevent (the laws are to lax and keep putting them back on the streets).
