Resolved Question: what state could have the home of my dreams?
we were thinking New Jersey because we want good diverse schools, but I don’t know.
We want a place that has:
a top hospital specializing in prenatal care (I’m pregnant)
Great schools that are safe and very ethnically diverse with low student teacher ratios
Some place that has slightly rural areas where we can own a few acres of property to build our home, but is no more than 10 minutes away from sushi or Thai restaurants, modern stores, and other businesses.
some place that is religiously diverse (I am a reform Jew my husband is a non denominational Christian)
a place near a lake or pond or other body of water
a place where the median income for men and women is not drastically different
somewhere with weather similar to Minnesota (we are not interested in very hot weather, but are open to warmer weather areas)
somewhere where we can find plenty of mommy and me classes and other fun child activities and maybe big toy stores
Basically we want something that is middle upper class, very ethnically and religiously diverse, on the cooler side, kid friendly, safe, good schools, near woods and bodies of water where nature is beautiful.
I was looking at Minnesota but men are treated better than women in a lot of areas and religion is too big of an issue.
Thanks!
oh and also a place with more modern laws. we support gay marriage and stuff like that. so someplace more up to date.
And really good food!!! We love sushi, Italian, and seafood type stuff. We also like markets that sell fresh baked breads and such.

Resolved Question: New Jersey Minimum Wage Concession Stand on Private Property… ??? Legal experts HELP!?
I am a 15 year old male and I work in the concession stand at my lake’s concession stand. It is private property. I was required to get working papers from my high school, and I did and turned them in. The concession stand charges sales tax on most food (not water or ice cream). I get no tips and work about 5 hours a week, and I ***only get paid $5 an hour***. I am paid with a check every two weeks.
Also, there is some liscence from the state displayed on the wall of the place, I dunno what for (dept of health I think)
My questions are –
Should I get minimum wage? (What is the NJ min. wage for a 15 year old?)
Is the concession stand allowed to charge sales tax?
Also, they are not allowing kids under 14 years old to get paid, but they allow them to volunteer. Is that ok?
Thanks you to anybody who helps!
Resolved Question: Current Event?
What do you think about my summary and opinion?
Summary
The group home controversy has now spilled over into neighborhood of Voorhees. Some residents of Lake Villa Estates are very angry about the idea that they will be living near a group home for preteens with behavioral and emotional problems that they are planning to engage in a demonstration on Monday. The home was planned to be opened in four to six weeks for five children with ages between 8 and 12 who have emotional disabilities because of abuse and neglection. New Jersey MENTOR, a for-profit company, selected the Harvard Drive house and two homes in Cherry will without notifying neighbors, but because federal law considers group homes just like regular families, the company didn’t have to alert anyone. The public uproar in Cherry Hill was so fierce that the DCF delayed opening the group homes in the township’s Brookfield and Cherry Hill Estates section until they decided if the children would be welcomed and safe there. Don Gabardi, the neighbor who received the wrong letter, distributed fliers about the group home throughout Lake Villa Estates and at the nearby Edward T. Hamilton Elementary School. “ Nothing was resolved at all,” he said. “ I don’t know what kind of emotional problems these kids have. Another big concern is my property value. Nobody’s going to buy my house with that across the street.” “We hope that all residents will have an opportunity to discuss their issues with New Jersey MENTOR and DCF representatives,” the DCF spokeswoman said.
Opinion
The actions that they are taking in Lake Villa Estates and the comments they made about the group home, really sickens me. These kids have been abused and neglected which is the reason why they have emotional and behavioral problems, and people are complaining about how their property value is going to go down? No one has any right to stop these kids from starting over a better life because you have no idea what they have been through. There is a hope that these kids can forget their painful memories and become a great person who will help other kids that have been through the same thing. Who gave others the right to judge them, and decide if they can or can’t live in their neighborhood? The residents in Lake Villa Estates are worried about the trouble they might cause, but the truth is, bad things happen everywhere and you can’t predict it. People can’t even walk a mile their shoes and they already made predictions that they are going to be a bad influence on their neighborhood. DCF is trying to do a great deed for kids that don’t have thing except for a dream, but selfishness has people taking wrong actions. They say you can truly see a someone’s personality in front of situations that involve money, and apparently some people care about money more than they care about kids with bruised minds. Well, I can tell you right now that one of these kid’s smile is worth more than anyone’s house property values. Before you judge others, and finding faults and weakness to speak off, you should go out and take a good, long walk around yourself.
