Property owner rights vs Landlord

Lets start with the definition of property, Property is any physical or virtual entity that is owned by an individual or jointly by a group of individuals. An owner of property has the right to consume, sell, rent, mortgage, transfer and exchange his or her property. Important widely-recognized types of property include real property (land), personal property(other physical possessions), and intellectual property (rights over artistic creations, inventions, etc.), although the latter is not always as widely recognized or enforced.
What the former Batman star did in this movie was he just moved in without paying rent or security posit. Of course he is a con artist. He and changes the locks on all the doors. In short order, Hayes causes the Goodmans all sorts of trouble through scare tactics, verbal baiting and turning his own apartment into a dark cockroach-infested den. He's also always busy with his partner in crime doing some unknown construction within the apartment. The landlord does call the cops eventually but the cops are against him for cutting his power and water. Thats a big no no... So the focus is on the landlord now and that will buy Hayes some time for him to continue on his sneaky work.

Munro v. Socialist Workers Party

A some what brief discription of what was going on with Munro v. Socialist Workers Party

A Washington statute (§ 29.18.110) requires that a minor party candidate for office receive at least 1% of all votes cast for that office in the State's primary election before the candidate's name will be placed on the general election ballot. Appellee Peoples qualified to be placed on the primary election ballot as the nominee of appellee Socialist Workers Party (Party) for United States Senator. At the primary, he received less than 1% of the total votes cast for the office, and, accordingly, his name was not placed on the general election ballot. Peoples, the Party, and appellee registered voters then brought an action in Federal District Court, alleging that § 29.18.110 violated their rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The District Court denied relief, but the Court of Appeals reversed, holding that § 29.18.110, as applied to candidates for statewide offices, was unconstitutional.

Greed is Good?

Wall street and the economy is just rubbish in my opinion.

A lot of us think the world would be a better place if people were more caring and less greedy but unfortunately we take capitalism as far as we can to take as much money away from people.
I am a Socialist and I believe that we should all share the common ownership in todays bussinesses but the society we live in today isnt ready to work together unfortunately.

Bong Hits for Jesus?

Joseph Frederick was an 18-year-old senior at Juneau-Douglas High School , in Alaska , in January 2002. One morning that month a “Winter Olympics Torch Relay” was passing through town. The event was sponsored by corporations. Students were released from school to see it. Frederick never made it to school. He got stuck in the snow. But he did make it to a sidewalk across from school by the time the torch was passing through. When television cameras caught a glimpse of him and his friends, he unfurled a banner that read, “Bong Hits 4 Jesus.” The school principal crossed the street, grabbed Frederick ’s banner, destroyed it destruction of property, anyone? and suspended him for 10 days.



“What about the Bill of Rights and freedom of speech?” Frederick asked her. Forget it, the principal replied, saying the banner “violated the policy against displaying offensive material, including material that advertises or promotes use of illegal drugs.” But the banner hadn’t been displayed on school property.


Even if he wasn’t, who’s the school, who’s anyone, to judge what he was doing and why so long as he’d done nothing to impede school business? If anything, it was the torch-passing that had disrupted school, and the exposure of students to soft-drink propaganda and products that was the more questionable message that day: Pound for pound, soft drinks wreck the health of far more Americans, children included, than marijuana does.

Freedom of speech should be inforced no matter what. Its in the constitution..

What I think about Lawyers

I tend to think of them the way I think about programmers or authors; they tend to be specialized in a field that requires excellent language skills, reading, writing, etc, and have to deal with overly long documents at times (where search/replace may be a big factor). The general public tends to underestimate the skills needed to deal with such documents and the hard work put in to get the job done. I do think some lawyers are overpaid however, compared to the other similar job types. I can't say much about their ethics, that seems to vary from person to person.


There is a general impression that lawyers today are not held in high regard. There is enough evidence in film and media to suggest that the view of lawyers as 'dishonest, arrogant, greedy, ruthless buckets of slime' may cause some anti comfort for people in the profession. The abundance of movies and television series’ portraying a cut-throat lawyer who does anything for his next ‘score’ doesn’t help with this image.


When lay people are asked about lawyers the general consensus is that they are losing confidence in their professional knowledge and training. This suggests that there is a concern that professionals are not what they used to be - well-trained, ethical people committed to serving the public. This could be due a number of factors. The number of legal practices has increased substantially over the past couple of decades, which drives up the competition to sign potential clients. In today's day and age where the allure of earning more money is evident in our everyday lives, ethics can take a ‘back seat’. Ethics is concerned with deciding what is the right or wrong thing to do. In deciding what to do and how to be, ethics requires lawyers to look for coherent reasons for their actions and character that show why it may be right or wrong to act according to our financial interests, or to do what others expect in certain situations; The right or wrong action.


It seems to be one of life's mind boglers that law defends its status as a profession based on ethical commitments, and yet lawyers are often conceived as a bunch of salesmen like characters with no moral values (ethics). People have started to question whether they can trust the legal system to sort out issues of truth and justice.
