Question by Gfdfgf Dfgdfd: How come kids in Europe get to drink without getting in trouble?
while American kids go to jail for underage drinking. Why do Europeans get more rights and more freedom than Americans? I thought America was the land of the free. A 20 year old cant have a beer in his own home!

Question by Natty: How do I become legal guardian for my kids ?
I was notified that my kids are receiving an inheritance but I have to become their legal guardian to accept the funds. I thought i was already their guardian. They live with me and their father, and we are legally married. The court charges to just get the documents, then we have to appear before the court. Is all this really necessary? I live in Florida and the $ is coming from Ohio.
We are the birth parents and married to each other. The financial institution that the money is coming from says they still need guardianship papers.

Best answer:

Answer by Mrs M
The court needs proof that you two are the legal parents of the children. Contact your Family Law Court and find out what you need to do. They will help you through this. Good luck.

Question by Annie Banannie: Should kids who are brought to the US illegally when they were minors be given amnesty?
I honestly do not think it’s fair for people who were brought here illegally as kids. And im not talking about people who have been here for 30 years , im talking about those who are now 18-20 years old. How can going back to their native country be the solution when they would have to start over- nevertheless be in a place when they do not know anyone?

Best answer:

Answer by gcnengineer
you’re probably right, it’s a bad solution to remove them. Perhaps the best idea is to have better border enforcement. However, what’s the statute of limitations on being in this country without being a citizen? Oh yeah, there is none. I suppose thier parents knew that though.

Question by Magic 8 Ball Bottom Contributor: How are they getting away with marketing Transformers 2 to little kids?
The new Transformers movie is rated PG13 last time I checked, and yet Nickelodeon has been marketing it during shows like Dora the Explorer and Spongebob. My son got a Transformers toy in his Burger King Kids meal as well.

How are they able to market this movie to such a broad range of children when arguably the kids who are viewing the ads really can’t see the movie anyway?

Does this bother anyone else?

Best answer:

Answer by Maureen
Doesn’t bother me but I didn’t grow up in a family that regulated what movies we watched. I watched R movies all the time when I was a kid.

Are you sure about Dora? They don’t even show commercials during Dora. Maybe after but Dora and Diego are uninterrupted like PBS shows. A lot of older people watch Spongebob … I know I do.

My very first attempt at strobist-style lighting. I just picked up my first batch of light modifiers/accessories and this is the result.

Still have a lot of learning to do, but I’m happy with several of the shots I got tonight including this one.

Things I know I need to improve: I think the key light on the left might have worked better a little higher up and pointing down. A third flash as a rim light to pull Sam’s hair out of the dark background would make this shot a lot better.

I’m thick-skinned. I’d love any suggestions or criticisms.

Strobist Info:
Canon 580EX II in a Lumiquest SoftBox III camera left just kissing Sam’s face.
Silver reflector just out of frame camera right.
Yungnuo 560 on its stand behind Sam shot through a red gel.
Flashes triggered with eBay triggers.

Question by Anna: What job could I get helping kids at a foster home or helping kids tremendously?
I am a high school student, and I’ve always LOVED kids. If there was anything I want to do, I want to help kids feel comfortable and make them happier than ever. Is there any (women) job I could start studying or looking into that would help me accomplish my dreams when I’m older? How much does that job get paid? I hope you can give me a good idea! :)

Best answer:

Answer by LisaN
You took take in foster kids when you are older. You don’t get paid though. It is a labor of love. You could work as a child therapist, or teacher in a juvenile detention facility (juvenile hall). They really need caring adults. None of the truely important jobs with youths in need pay much. That is just the way our society is.
Obviously you will need to go to college. Right now you could volunteer to help in schools or libraries, or get summer jobs at camps with kids.
