Law & Ethics - August 2006

Sorry, I dont mean to offend anyone. I'm watching dateline right now and they're having a story about a child molester.

Alot of times, not all, but seems like majority of the time when you hear a story about a child molestation case, it's a male molesting a little boy. Are the molesters gay too? Oprah also had a show where the molester was molesting boys and he was male. (not that whether it's male or female is any better or worse)

Sorry, this might sound like a silly question the thought just came in mind.

Dear friends, Right now a tragedy is unfolding in the Middle East. Thousands of innocent civilians have been killed or wounded in the bombings in Lebanon, Palestine and Israel and the death toll is rising every day. If the US, Syria or Iran get involved, there is a chance of a catastrophic larger war. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has called for an immediate ceasefire and the deployment of international troops to the Israel-Lebanon border, and been strongly supported by almost every world leader. This is the best proposal yet to stop the violence, but the US, the UK, and Israel have refused to accept it. I have just signed a petition calling on US President Bush, UK Prime Minister Blair, and Israeli Prime Minister Olmert to support Kofi Annan's proposal. If millions of people join this call, and we advertise our views in newspapers in the US, UK, and Israel, we can help pressure these leaders to stop the fighting. Go to the link below and sign up now! http://www.ceasefirecampaign.org With hope,

Here's my friend's story:

"I voluntary helped organise a festival with some other people (voluntary as well). The main organiser left and did not pay the rental. I am sued because they have my name on file. I did not sign anything for this contract.

It already cost me more than 1500$ up to this day for a pre-trial conference with a judge. The judge seemed to think that there was no point in continuing this in trial. The other party will continue."
End of the story for now.

She just spoke with her lawyer. He believes she will win the case.

Would you rather pay a lawyer?
- it will cost her 3,000$ or 4,000$ more in fees to go to court and settle this.

Would you pay the guy?
- If she pays the man his 3,000$ she can leave all this behind.

Keep in mind that she has absolutely nothing to do in this and she is not rich but does not want to pay a debt for somebody else.

As I am sure you are aware, Britain is pretty much the only developed nation on Earth without a single document classed as a constitution which would give a clear indication to the public of what there rights are. I think that with the government making constant efforts to erode cival liberties ad freedoms we could use something which would limit how far the government could go! Your views?

Many in my town are upset about a recent photo shoot of girls in string bikinis. They were running all over town for three days, posing in bikinis in lewd positions, and did not ask for permission from the City Council. We have an indecent exposure ordinances on the books that mentions "nudity and lewd dress." Does anyone know if such actions constitute indecent exposure? If not, could anyone suggest how we might go about strengthening our city ordinance? Many of our families did not go to their jobs out of protest (and lost pay) and many had to keep their young children off the streets. Our city image suffered badly due to the exposure and the publicity that will result.

A towing company is towing cars that are "illegally" backed in to their assigned parking spaces in apartment complexes then charging exorbitant sums to get the car out of the tow lot. ($265.00) The apartment management is probably in on the scam since the tow trucks come in the middle of the night (after 12am).

When confronted, the apartment management whips out a signed acknowledgement form that the tenant signed when they leased the apartment. However, there aren't any signs posted anywhere on or near the apartment complex or parking structure warning of the consequences or that backing in is not allowed. Sounds like a scam to me!!

Our constitution allows that if the people of the US by two thirds of popular pupular vote. Decided to go back to a Monarchy which the gover ment would have to do. Then would we still have the right which we think we do to tell other countries how to run their lives. What right do we have, now wouldn't we fight if someone tried to tell us what we can and can't do.

Prostitution laws make murder easier: Forcing women to work in the shadows leaves them vulnerable to attack. In the United States, prostitution is legal in certain counties of Nevada. State law forbids counties with high populations from legalizing brothels, so prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City and Lake Tahoe. Other counties may license brothels; street solicitation is illegal. Prostitutes are required to use condoms for all types of intercourse, and must undergo regular medical checkups. The rate of AIDS infection is nearly zero. Where prostitution is illegal, AIDS rates are often over 25 percent among prostitutes.Since counties began legalizing prostitution in the early 1970s, they have been reaping an economic benefit from a variety of brothel-related revenue sources, including licensing fees, property tax, work card fees and liquor licenses. In total the sources pump more than $10 million into county coffers annually, according to one state study.

Me personally I dont like the idea that once someone is convicted the amount of years in prison (or death) seems to pretty much be determined by how much the family seems to grieve and what the jurry or judge thinks.Personally if I had authority I would set the guidlines for what each crime should warrant.the guide lines today are really ridiculous.We might as well be back in the days of witch hunting and hanging for no very good reason.I would set:
Robbery:2-5yrs
Theft:4-9
Kidnapping:3-7yrs
Drugs:1-3
Prostitution:1-3
Murder:7-12
Masterminding:8-15

Honestly sentenceing today arn't really designed to correct criminals behavior;its more designed to lock them up and throw away the key,which is not good attitude to have at all.Yes,the crimes can be very haneous but thos crimanal are humn to and should deserve some tye of forgiveness right?

what do ya'll think

Old Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate will never change and our country will not go anywhere with their bickering. Anybody who already served 12 years or more should not be able to run again.
