Law & Ethics - September 2006

14 years ago I had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out. The dentist was horrible and didn't put me to sleep. I could feel everything and when I tried to push him away, he just tied my arms to the chair. One arm broke through and I was tied even tighter. I felt him take out 3 of them before he took a rest and I was able to tell him. He gave me a shot in the mouth for the 4th so I felt nothing. He didn't apologize and we didn't take any action. Earlier this week, I had a biopsy done where a wisdom tooth was as there was a hole in my bone and they found gauze from the extraction 14 years ago. What legal action can I take against this dentist?

10 1/2 months after closing my builder gave me a bill for a sidewalk and overatures he found on some lighting for our new home. All the other overatures and extras for our home was covered under an addendum and taken care of at closing back in 8/19/05. Now for some reason he all of a sudden came across these two outstanding items. I thought the closing was final "settlement" of the home construction cost. What is to say the builder finds something else like extra sheet rock cost that he wants me to pay? Is there some time frame that he is allowed to do this. I didn't see anything in the contract that allows for this. Then again my closing attorney flew through this hoard of paper work at closing that may allow for this. Does it? I have some thing that I found on the contract that we didn't use. Can I ask for the credit? Please help in Richmond VA.

a supervisor asked my co-workers questions about me in such a way that they could figure out confidential company info about me. Do I have any legal recourse outside of the company to pursue this? Management telling the supervisor not to do that again is not satisfactory to me

Wasn't it Thomas Jefferson who said give me Liberty or Give me Death. American citizens are being enslaved with new restrictions on their liberties that will probably be worse than death.

The police are going out of control with their laws. So many people are becoming felons because of harsh drug laws.

And then these felons can never get a decent job again to feed their families.

Now because of the erosion of the U.S. Constitution probably 1/2 the u.s. will get entwined in the criminal justice system because everyone does something wrong.

Whether it's puffing a joint, or hiring a prostitute, or homosexual sexual acts.

There is no one without some sin. Just some get caught and some don't

And yet with a felony conviction, your life is pretty much destroyed.

All our founding fathers were beer drinking, manufacturing criminals. They all would have violated our prohibition laws. That's why they made the constitution.

And now the police are stomping it out.

I live in NZ. A few years ago the only gambling here was horse racing using the totalisator, not private bookmakers, a state lottery called Lucky Kiwis, and of course private gambling like poker games. It wasn't a serious social problem back then. Now, gambling has been made easier. We've now got casinos, online gambling, scratch-and-win tickets, which you buy, scratch and if you're lucky, get a prize. and what we call pokie machines. In Britain they call them one-armed bandits. It's easier to lose money fast gambling than with any other vice, especially if it doesn't require any skill. Horse racing required skill and knowledge. Now pokies are a major problem here. Some of the profits are taxed and given to charities. But the social problems they cause cost us far more than they pay back. I want to write a story about it. Please tell me about your country's experience with different forms of gambling.

My girlfriend is 16, and I am 17. We've been intimate for the past few months out of a 7 month relationship. She's recently moved to Texas, as I'm in Germany with my military parents, and her mother found out a week or so ago, and called me telling me I can't come visit her as planned, call, e-mail, etc etc. (I've still been talking to her thank God.)

But now her mom has decided to press charges against me. How can this happen? First off, I am underage, and we are both minors. It was consentual, and she has told her that. Is there anything I can/should do? Or is this one of those things where I'm screwed? Thanks!

If you don't think this is serious buisiness please don't respond, just remember when you walk into a Casino..anything goes. This is a potential public relations catastrophy.

My buddy's girlfriend and him are having trouble (shes 16). He found out she had walked around a hotel room (he knew there were guys there, no big secret) with her shirt off, and groped a man along with 2 other girls, and he just found out these guys have asked them to do it several times (flash them, and only once she groped him on her own terms). Here's the twist, all these girls are softball players for a highschool team, all 16 and under, and these were there coaches. One engaged, and the two others just sick I guess. Now, this could be a huge lawsuit for the parents against the coaches, which, in turn at least would get them fired. But this school is known for having a great softball program and many girls hopes of scholarships would go down the drain if this became publicized. So if my buddy decided to tell any one of the parents or the school, this could ruin MANY peoples lives, but what they did was completely out of line and they should be fired..what should he do??
