Law & Ethics - June 2006

Really it makes sense that in some cases people are taken away to be studied. We send thousands of probes into deep space... If we saw a being up there you would have to believe that we'd kidnap it!

First off, it is my understanding that some states do not allow this. They do in my state though

I'm referring to when you are just driving down the road not doing anything wrong and suddenly you have to mandatorily stop for a license check. If you stop and turn around then they chase you and charge you with something about trying to avoid the stop.

1st, isn't there something in the constitution about freedom of passage? And wouldn't this apply?

2nd, does this not remind you of Nazi Germany where ppl could be stopped and asked to show their 'papers'?

3rd) Since they must have a reason to pull you over when you are driving, how can they do this?

Now before some of u jump and say well it stops criminals. I do not agree with giving up my civil liberties.

I live in CA and my friend wants to make me the leagal guardian of her son if she dies. We have an "If I die letter" typed up and we we know to get it notarized. If her parents decide to contest this, will the letter stand up in court? or should we skip the notarizing and go strait to a lawer? (The reason she doesn't want her parents to get custody is because they are abusive) Any help would be great.

Is prostitution considered against the law because unlike the porn industries where people get paid to have sex with each other, prostitution is not controlled to where it pays taxes? The porn industry is legalized prostitution in reality, a woman or man get paid, for what, to have sex. Prostitution is the same, a woman or man getst paid, for what, to have sex. The difference is that the porn industries pay taxes to the government but prostitution doesn't. Is this why prostitution is illegal? If a way was made for prostitution to pay taxes to the government, would it be legalized?

Okay, I work in a college that is very liberal, I'm one of few Christians here (even though it's a Christian college) Here's my thing, I am doing a speech for class against gay marriage. This is my personal opinion, that's all. Now, I don't hate gays, I've had gay friends, boss's and even relatives, all of whom I love I just don't agree with their choice of lifestyle (and yes, it is a choice to act upon the sin of sexual immorality) BUT, a professor here told me that I was narrow-minded and a bigot for having this opinion. I think he is wrong. I have strong beliefs and yet he (and others on yahoo answers ) seem to think I'm a hater because I think homesexuality is wrong, I agree with God Almighty when it comes to homosexuality. So, am I a bigot?

Please check back later because I will have added some responses to answer your responses.

I live in the state of Florida. I don't know why, but it seems that criminals have more rights than the average person in a court. Namely, there are laws about guns. If a robber enters your home at night, and you spot him/her, you cannot use a gun as force against him/her unless the criminal has a gun exposed in plain sight; because only one person having a gun makes it "unfair". Also, many people have heard of the case where a robber entered a home and accidentally locked himself in the garage of the home. The family had gone on vacation, so he was "forced" to eat dog food in order to stay alive. When the family returned, they found him, and he sued them for "making" him stay there for so long. He won his case I believe I remember hearing. Alright people, I don't understand why these criminals have such rights, but they do. If anyone out there can give me a logical explanation, I would appreciate it much.

I let my brother use my washer and when he moved he asked our other brother to pick it up. when he went to pick it up the landlord told him that he took the washer and put it into storage. I called and talked to the secretary and she told me that because my brother that rented the appartment still owes a balance of 925.00 that they won't give me back my washer. I was not the tenant in the complex and only let my brother borrow my washer. I can proove ownership of the washer. Can the landlord keep my washer even if my brother is the one who owes the money? Please I need help with this.

Lots of anecdotal evidence of up to 30 seconds of life in a head i.e. blinking, mouthing words, opening of eyes when name shouted, grimaces of pain, horror and grief etc. Any factual evidence though?

I want to know your opinion. Should gays be allowed to marry? Explain your opinion. Also, should they be allowed to adopt children.? Explain. And for those who wonder my own personal opinion, I am completely against them both.

People complain that by getting reported or Yahoo! deleting your question or answer, that they are taking away your freedom of speech. Is it really? Think about this though, this is a service that Yahoo! provides, it is their bussiness, it is them who create the rules and regulations for the use of this service. If you say something that goes against their rules and regulations they will delet it. Same concept in a federal building, you use foul language, you get kicked out. So is it really taking away your freedom of speech or people just haven't read the rules and regulations and find a way to complain?

I am being sued for a credit card debt that I do not owe. The debt was bought by Midland Financing. The atty refused to negotiate with me and requested a trial. He did not show up for the trial, so the judge dismissed the case without prejudice. It appears that they can still come after me with other court appearances, but I am not sure, I received various answers from different sources. Does anyone know how likely it is that they will pursue the lawsuit? Thank you

From what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong), the separation of church and state agreement was made to keep the government out of the church, so there would be freedom of religion, as there should be. Why does it now seem like it's keeping the church out of the government?

I met a young lady on HotorNot.com, and we hit it off. We haven't met, but we've IM'd back and forth quite a bit, and some of the conversations became, well, a bit steamy!

During some of our first communications on Hot or Not's website, she clearly told me she was 18 years old (I've saved these messages). Regrettably, as a result of some independent research I've conducted, I have learned that she is only 17.

So my question is really two-fold: am I at "fault" here, and what's the best way for me to extricate myself from this situation? She doesn't know that I know, and we're still on friendly terms.

Not that this has any bearing on the situation, but the age of consent in her state is 16.

Don't think through a religious perspective, because through a religious perspective, almost everything is a sin. Ok if someone decides they wanna die, and they tell some one, kill me, that's assisted suicide right? But here's what i was thinking, the person chose to die, he decided he wanted to die and asked the other person to kill him. That was his choice, so does making it a bad thing go against our freedom of choice?
