How do I unlock a privacy lock on an exterior door?
Q. Long story, but I managed to lock the privacy lock on my front door and leave the apartment. Now I am locked out with no way of re-entering. There is no key for the privacy lock, and no metal plate that might allow access. Does anyone know of a way to unlock this lock that doesn't involve breaking down the door or shattering the windows? Thanks.

A. You are going to have to make the story longer, more believable because if you got no key, perhaps it is not your room. I doubt anyone wants to aid in a B&E

What is the best book about invasion of privacy and oppression in the Soviet Union?
Q. In many ways America is not much different than the USSR. With today's technology privacy has become a huge issue. Government refuses to acknowledge this, other than a few superficial attempts that don't address the problems. What was it like living in that era? Is it much different is privacy now? What are (lack of) privacy similarities between America today and the USSR? Could people follow you around and harrass you as they wish in either society? If they had connections with government would it make much difference?

A. The rise and fall of communism in the Soviet Union was a key event of the twentieth century. Spanning nine decades from the reign of the tsars to the overthrow of Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991, it is a tale of oppression, rebellion, terror, and betrayal. It is the chronicle of a dream that failed, of a utopian vision turned to ashes. The Great Fatherland War, the third of a four-book series encompassing the history of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, covers World War II, the most devastating period in the nation's history. It was a time during which some 20 to 25 million Soviet soldiers and civilians lost their lives -- more lives than had been lost by any nation in any war. The story of this struggle is populated by heroes like the… [cont.]

How much privacy should a teen have?
Q. I know this has been asked a lot of times but I still haven't found an answer that really puts the missing piece of the puzzle in my brain... I my self am 14 years old. Obviously privacy is a privilege that must be gained just like trust, honesty, etc. I just want everyone's personal opinion on how much privacy a teen deserves even if they deserve it. Thanks!
Asked by Unas Slayer of the Gods - Mon Dec 22 17:39:27 2008 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think a teen should have a lot of privacy. Teens usually like to be secluded from their parents as much as possible, and so I think the parents should respect that and give their teen their space. If parents are always trying to get into the teen's business, the teen will almost always get rebellious and want to get out of the house constantly. The teen may wind up doing things they aren't supposed to be doing, all because the parent didn't respect their privacy. But, the teen should not be secluded from their parents ALL the time, they need to keep in touch with their parents and let them know what's going on in their lives, like with school, friends, that sort of thing. This is all coming from my own personal experience.

A. I'm not assuming that anyone has in fact infringed anyone's privacy. However, if you're worried about personal information, you can fight the dissemination of your own information by steps like never getting a credit card, never registering to vote, never getting a phone in your name, and never paying for anything other than with cash.

One only has to watch the documentary "Top Cat" to know these felines know how to work the legal system. I barely made any profit from the video sales after the court costs. Tip top.

What is an alternative to a privacy fence?
Q. We were looking into putting up a privacy fence, but after receiving a free estimate this was a little more than we would like to spend. I think the estimate was around $7,000. I know people say that certain trees will serve this purpose; however, I want something that will grow extremely fast...I know that is asking for a lot and there probably isn't anything that will work immediately without using the fence. I just don't know if waiting a few years for tree growth will aleviate any of my worries until they begin to grow and block neighbors. Does anyone know anything that grows fast and well in the US southeast region?

How would it breach a woman's right to privacy if the state prohibited abortion clinics and medication?
Q. If the state just refused to accept a duty to permit abortion services and medication, how would this infringe on a pregnant woman's right to privacy? Obviously the Supreme Court ruled that a state cannot restrict abortion, but how was it inferred from a right to privacy that the infrastructure itself must therefore be permitted? It's a private matter if she self-performs and practically it would be difficult to police anyway so that's why the issue is not whether abortion itself should be legal but whether there is a duty imposed on the state to permit the infrastructure or medication necessary for its performance. abortion medication* Not all medical procedures are permitted however.

A. The decision in Roe v Wade actually hinges on the justices designating abortion to be a "fundamental right." This was not really new, the right to procreate had long been considered a "fundamental right." It is only a small leap of logic to assume then that the right to not procreate was also a fundamental right. In order to infringe upon a fundamental right, the state must prove a "compelling state interest." Hence, it was ruled that a woman's "fundamental right" to not procreate outweighed any state interest until such a date that the fetus was "viable" (able to live outside the womb). "Fundamental rights" were initially interpreted from the Fifth Amendment and applied to the states through the 14th Amendment. Hence, you get a… [cont.]

Other than that, if you dont want your name to show up in a search engine like google, just dont sign up to public sites that list your name like facebook and myspace. If you want to protect your privicy on facebook, there are settings for it. Quite frankly, this topic could go on forever.

A. It really depends on your climate. We are in a temperate zone and I grew some lovely climbing geraniums with basically flowers year round too (and no thorns). Geranium also gives out a lovely perfume - rated highly for its calming effect. Personally I don't like ivy as it tends to take over everything and I had a big job removing some from a fence once - It did hold the fence together though. Why not try a honeysuckle or similar too.

A. Video or taping an act in public where the crime or an immoral act is in progress is not an unethical act. You are protected by law. When the police is beating up a suspect and if someone tapes it using a camera phone, you are perfectly in the right to do so. But you snoop - break in to someones personal domain to tape something, then - you are breaking the law. You only do that if you have a court's permission otherwise during the trial, such an evidence is inadmissible.
