In the case of Pope v. US, a friend of the mother of baby stood by as the mother, who was disturbed by religious fanaticism, beat her baby. after the beating, the friend took the mother to church and returned to her home with her where the baby was found dead.

In the US , there is no legal duty to rescue another from harm... the good samaritan law only protects rescuers from prosecution for harmful consequences from good faith actions.

BUT ,, the friend could have done the minimum effort of calling the police or speaking out to discourage the mom. Shouldn't we have a duty to do something that requires minimal effort relative to the seriousness of harm???. I would agree we don't have a duty to prevent the harm by putting ourselves in danger.... BUT shouldn't we at least have a duty to call police if we witness another in danger of bodily injury.

What is the legal reasoning for not criminalizing a failure to act with minimum duty of care???

I went to a memorial service, watched some 9/11 specials, had a moment of silence, mourned for the victims and their families and I am planning to do to the crash site in Pennsylvania where flight 93 crashed. It is such a sad day indeed and I will never forget it and where I was. What did you do to remember?
PLEASE NO POLITICAL BASHING. This is a very sensitive subject.

We are both is our late 20's, and she lives by herself, but her mother comes to visit every single weekend. ( a 2-1/2 hour drive) My GF doesn't seem to want to confront her or upset her, but I can tell that her mother can sometimes upset her. She calls all the time, and always wants my GF to check in with her when she gets home, etc, etc. My GF doesn't have her own car, and she doesn't make a whole lot of money and says she can't afford car insurance, etc. So she is still on her parents Insurance, and driving a car in her parents name. She uses things like this as leverage to get her way and guilt my GF into doing what she wants. My GF thinks she is threatened by her relationship with me, and that she gets upset easily when things (like plans) change. Her mom doesn't have any friends, and I get the feeling her and her Husband aren't happy. I don't know what to tell her to do. I like her mother and father, but It would be nice if her mom just backed off once in a while and let her be.

Just curious to see who here has a breed specefic decal on their car. In an old issue of Dog Fancy it says about 40% of dog owners have a decal representing the breed. I honestly thought it would be more!

Do you have one? If not, do you find them to be tacky?

We were really good friends and than started hooking up. He is 15 years older than me, im 22 and hes 37. We have done a lot of things sexually but when it comes down to having sex it just wont happen !! physically he just seems like he cant do it, is it because we were good friends or what is going on!
