Hypothetical situation: The owners of a company believes that illegal immigration is good for the country and for business. Some employees disagree and advocate in public (but not at work) for laws and enforcement to decrease illegal immigration but increase legal immigration. The owners find out and fire them for only this reason. With all other things being equal, should this be allowed legally? is it moral for the owner to make such a decision? is it moral for employees to take a position opposite their employers when it might look bad for the company?

The last time I served on a Jury, the Judge harped on endlessly on Jury Nullification.

He claimed to be God-Like [he really did] and said that the Jury was not allowed in HIS courtroom to nullify any laws as he[the Judge] chose to explain them.

He never did explain exactly whata Jury Nullification was.

So ........... what is it and is it legal in the State of Washington?

I have a felony on my record from 5 years ago that's not violent or drug-related. I'm good at office work so I applied to attorneys for office positions. I thought they may be more open-minded to giving someone a second chance and they deal with people in need of legal help and/or criminals all the time so they wouldn't look down at the person as much as someone else might. They're not law firms, just general practice attorneys. Does anyone know if lawyers/attorneys will hire someone with a felony record?

I ask because of this site:

My daughter ordered Lois and Clark from there and what she got was bad quality DVDs that were obviously burnt from TV, TNT was in the corner of the screen and the quality was not DVD quality. Turns out that this company is in Canada. She sent an email to complain and they freely aknowledged that these were recorded from TV. They also gave her money back with no complaint at all. I know in the United States, this is copywrite infringement and you would goto jail.

Do you think caning is a good punishment as opposed to prison or such? I think it is because it gives people something to fear and makes them think twice about committing a crime.

He got hit outside right in front of the bar. I found out it is private property owned by the bar owner. My friend that got hit was on life support for 4 days and ended up losing his memory and was hospitalized for a month. The guy that hit him never got in trouble because it was my friend who was the one who started it. My friend is a totally different person now. He acts differently and if he gets hit in the head at all by anything he will probably die because the blow to his head was so severe that it is going to take a long time to heal. The bar owner ended up firing the bartender who was on duty. There was any type of fight inside but everyone that was in the bar knew that these two hated each other. The bartender knew that as well. I heard around that my friend could sue the bar owner for ???? Is this true. And if so what would he be sueing for?

Someone I know, at the insistance of her husband and his friends, signed away her dower rights. (Ok, she is not the brightest crayon in the box.) How will that affect the common property held by both husband and wife? Could he suddenly dump her, and leave her with a boatload of debt he had run up? What rights, if any, does my friend have now?

I went to a website to look for some home theater recliners. I found the items I wanted, but there was no price listed. So I added them to my cart to see if it would display, it displayed as $0. I then tried to check out, but was told I needed to spend a minimun of $9, so I added a poster for 17.99

I then checked out and my order was charged and I got a confirmation. I got charge 17.99 for the poster, and 0 for the chair.

Does the vendor have to honor the $0 price? OR can they back out?
