Law & Ethics - July 2006

A friend borrowed my vehicle about 2 years ago. He got into an accident. At the time I didn't make him pay because he had no money. I know now that he would be able to pay me for the damages. Can I still collect from him? This occured in Washington. The vehicle is still driveable but according to the estimate the damage he caused totaled my vehicle.

After hurricane Katrina they said Bush didn't act because he was rascist against black people so he didn't want to help them. Then this criminal was shot by a cop and they said it was because he was rascist. I think that is just the easy way out for people now.

My other two questions proved that the ancient history was written different among different academics. But based on some not proved "facts" from 3000 years ago, Greece had an economy embargo against the country Macedonia. Last news was that the airlines from Macedonia are not allowed to fly to Athens because of the name dispute..

[WE DIDn'T SIGN ANYTHING]
My mother is going through a divorce and she and I decided to go see this attorney who's add said "free consultation." We simply needed an attorney to negociate a buy-out price against my stepfather to obtain the house...nothing further. But this attorney wouldn't listen to us and instead would be chatting about his experience dealing with other cases not related to our desires. I'm farely familar with the law and I knew up front that he wasn't suited for our needs.

We left before an hour and then tried to make my mother sign a retainer agreement and I told him that my mother would need at least a day to think about it. Then he said "Well if you don't take your case with me I will charge you for this consulation since it's free only for 30 minutes." FIRST OF ALL, THERE WAS NO PLACE IN THE ADD THAT SPECIFIED A TIME FOR THAT FREE CONSULATATION. SECOND, HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD US ABOUT THE

I have a friend that's interested in information regarding a pardon for a crime that he committed a long time ago. I didn't know that you could do this, but apparently so. Anyway, he served his time and is now interested in trying to get his rights back. The state of interest is Alabama, or anything any of you might know would be helpful. Thank you.

Like what they did with the landmark gay marriage ruling. I'm having a dispute with a friend and I want to provide evidence that guidelines are often given by courts around the country to legislatures after a ruling.

To put it in a nutshell I got scammed big time! I am quite embarrassed actually! This over seas company is now telling me I have to pay a $150 customs fee and if I don't pay it they will arrest me and take me to jail. Do I believe this, no...this company is trying to get more money out of me after the fact of them refusing to shop to me what I have purchased, it's a cell phone. I bought one phone and then they told me they mis-packed my order. They were sending me 5 phones, all i had to do was pay for 2 additional phones...when i refused, they refused to send me the phone i bought.....now they are telling me they will ship me my phone, but now i have to pay a customs tax.....i just need some educated answers....they are probably just trying to scare me so i send them more money.....

I keep seeing questions on here like..

Where can I get new movies for free?

Where can I download music for free?

Where can I get this PC game free?

Why do you all think that you should have something for free? What about the people who put their time and money into making these things?

If I quit a job while out on an active workman's comp claim, does that invalidate the claim, and will the employer still be required to pay the doctors, etc until the claim is closed?

I am for pot being legal,plain and simple.Reason why i'm for it, because I know too many people that need pot to make them feel better.(one person because they have MS and another who is end stage cancer)Don't the goverenment know all the thing's that can be made from it, like clothes,rope,medicine,etc....?And just think of all the time and energy law enforcement would have to go after real law breaker's, if pot was legal.I say make pot legal,go after the real drug's like Crack,Meth,etc.....!!!

I'm a religious conservative. How can the Republicans ever think they represent me if they believe in the death penalty? They always say things like "we respect the sanctity of human life" when talking about abortion, then turn around and rally behind executing some helpless prisoner.

I am deeply opposed to needless, brutal executions. War is different - I will make that distinction right now. But executing a helpless prisoner, while viscerally satisfying, doesn't actually accomplish anything. I've read literally hundreds of articles, publications, and studies on the subject and the justifications just don't hold up to scrutiny.

The need for one person to have revenge on another cannot be justification in this matter. If it was, then we are teaching that vengeance is the proper response to being wronged. Which doesn't seem like a lesson I want to teach my children. For that matter, isn't that mentality of cyclical vengeance exactly what is causing problems in Lebanon?

All the pro-lifer just about now are supporting Bush for using his first veto on the Stem-Cell Bill. Do the pro-lifers realize that even though that now that stem-cell bill has been vetods it now makes it illegal to use the embryos for science BUT companies that own them can still destroy them, literally flush them down the toilet, they just can't use them for science!! How idiotic, and fascist is this??
