Law & Ethics - September 2006

I bought a truck from him, with a verbal agreement to work extra hours to pay it off. After I got the truck, I recieved the title to it, but I still owe him money. There is nothing I have signed reguarding this. After a heated argument, I decided he was not worth my time any longer and he attempted to make me leave the truck. I told him that I have the title, and I am willing to pay the truck off once I get another job. He told me I wasn't taking the truck anywhere, and I said I bet I do, and if he continued, he'd get nothing, since there's nothing legally binding.

He also owes me one last paycheck, which I'm going to attempt to collect. I am sure he is going to refuse to pay me since I owe him money for the truck, but after reading through the California laws, he is required to pay me. I really have no money for a lawyer, is this something I can take to small claims court? Also never paid me overtime, which is a violation, and I was never paid the rate advertised in his ad.

I tend to counter-argue a lot of my teachers political arguments, and when he discovered these were for the sake of argument (I claimed I learn more from discussions such as these) he said something about the devil's advocate.

In his speech, the pope quoted 14th-century Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus who said: "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

I totally agree what i said by the POPE an same is said in Quran.....

let me put this propostion before you, and you tell me how the law would see the situation.
i make art but i want to create new ownership rules for my art to make it accessible to everyone.
to distinguish it from whats gone before, i give to all the future creations i wish to be governed by these new rules , the name "aat".

all works of aat will have imbedded in them some isotope or other identification feature that identifies them as aat and not art.

the rules[ i know there will be unexplained points and inconsistencies, but i dont wish you to examine them- they are just used to illustrate the gist of my idea]
so,
the rules: no work of aat has or can have at any future time a financial value.
anyone can request the tempory ownership of any piece of aat,
and upon request, the current owner must surrender possession to the new applicant, who may possess the art untill such time as thia piece of art is requested by someone else.

OK, if Saddam was evil because he tortured his own people, why is it okay if the US tortures people?

Is torture a Christian thing to do? I don't recall anywhere in the Bible where it said it's okay to torture your enemies?

Can the US really take the moral high ground if we stoop down to the level of terrorists? Wouldn't it make more sense to take a look at the Big Picture, and figure out how to beat terrorism at it's roots rather than chopping at branches?

lease. He took care of everything for this woman, maintenance, etc. She wanted her house painted, and my father had started the process for her and the painter has not returned, leaving the job unfinished. She said she is holding me responsible for the job undone, as well as for paying for it. I can't understand how she can do this. There is no contract with the painter, only verbal, but I had NOTHING to do with it. Can I be held liable for this. It is her house!

that is so wrong. i think as long as it is small and neat that there should be no problem with it. i understand a dress code but a hair code? that is ridiculus. for african american men and women who dont use perms or have extremly short hair is the only choices besides a huge afro. i think if you are gonna judge by hair you minus well go back to judging by skin to.

Out government would survive without this tax, our fore fathers didn't pay a tax on their income. Our constitution specifically forbids such a tax, in two places. Something smells here.

At what point do you personally think it becomes illegal. I already know the answers to the question, I am more interested to know what people *think* the answer is than the true answer. Which of the following do you think are illegal acts:
1. Wishing the president were dead
2. Contemplating killing the president, but not making any plans.
3. Talking to others about how you wish the president were dead
4. Talking about people who want to kill the president, without ever saying you are one of those people.
5. Trying to convince others to BELIEVE in the concept of killing the president, without trying to convince them to actually do it.
6. Trying to convince others to kill the president.
7. Planning to kill the president, but never following through on it because he never comes to your state.
8. Pointing a gun at the president from a secret location, but never shooting
9. Making a voodoo doll and killing the doll, or other kinds of magic to kill the president.
