Homosexuality is considered genarally admissible (al teast by the liberal western world)

Incest (I am talking about one between two consenting adults who are related) is considered illegal.

Please don't read this as anything to do with my personal life. I am a straight man who is skeptical whether either of them are genetic traits.

I find homosexuality acceptable, but consider incest as disgusting.

Is there really any difference? Of course, having inbred children is not good for the society, but taking that fact out, are the two very different? Should we treat them completely differently and have completely different laws?

It isn't all our personal feeling and opinons (of disgust and acceptance of a certain practice) just influenced by society, specifically by certain individuals who can create that influence?

I am sure this is going to touch a lot of nerves!

Okay...hope I understand this correctly.

Michigan just had proposal 2...to get rid of affirmative action...I believe it passed.

Ironically it was two U of Michigan cases that were just heard by the SC in 2003. A split decision...upholding for undergrad(and not for the law school)..I think..lol...on the basis that "diversity" in important to universities.

Now this proposal 2...again how can they pass a state law when it was just upheld by the SC...again...wouldn't that trump their state law b/c of the supremacy clause.

One other that I can think of is the marjuana laws in California....they've(Ca) passed laws that are clearly against federal laws....so how does that work?

It only took two years to convict his killers. If it had been an asian man murdered by a white man, do you think it would have taken much longer. Look at the stephan lawrence case (a black man murdered by whites), it took much longer for a conviction.

I was recently terminated from my position as a Mental Health Worker in a Psychiatric hospital on the juvenile unit. I was called in today and told that here had been allegations that I had verbally abused one of the clients (supposedly by telling them to get their A** back in bed). They could not tell me for sure on which date the allegations came from and did not have the file with them at the time of termination. I was told that the story was backed up by a nurse that was there. I know I did not say this to any client nor would I ever. I want to know if the facility is obligated to tell me who filed the complaint and what employee backed it up? Can I call and demand this information? Do I need to hire a Lawyer?

I actually have two questions re: State vs Federal law.

This one is with the Pariot Act...which some cities have decided to "opt" out of...can they do that?...or is that more of a gesture showing discontent with the law?

If it came down to it...wouldn't federal trump any state law or statute....due to the supremacy clause.

I'm not trying to be offensive, but there is a lady in our community who is "slow" and very crosseyed. She doesn't know how to read and when I see her at the store,she has the cashier fill out her checks, so I'm pretty sure she can't write either. Should she be driving?

There was a rule made by a King in biblical times that stated witnesses to a crime could not talk with other witnesses to corroborate their stories. Anyone know the name of the King or what rule that is?

The former answer to this query/question left many doors open.
Civil rights have long been issues without complete resolution, so all of us must make decisions based on debate and compromise,
not what's in it for me!
Ever since 9/11 struck and the initialization of the Patriot Act has
more concern been generated for civil rights recognition.
We will have to give up some of our "rights" to help the FBI further
investigate items like mosques, and other religious sanctuaries.
Our preservation of our current freedoms and rights are in jeopardy, as it is, and we need all the help from the authorities we can get!

I had to sign a 5 year non compete clause for a company and was forced to resign after only two months due to a disagreement about giving a client a refund. I felt the client should have gotten a refund because the company could not help him, but the other person disagreed. Because he is close with the CEO, I was forced to resign without anyone ever hearing the details of what happened. There was no physical confrontation or yelling during this disagreement. I actually told him that I was not going to argue because I was at a point where I realized the company was a fraud. I developed a better way to serve these clients. I will not use any of their strategies and do not even plan on offering the same service nor will I contact any of their current clients. I am only concerned that if it is catering to there potential clients do they have a case? Also do not know if this is important but I was the only Af. Amer. that worked in the building. contact me if you need further information.

My wife is taking her ex husband to court for modification of child support. He called her today and said that if she takes him to court then he will take her to court for custody. My daughter (well actually my step daughter I should say) is 14 and I know in Georgia at the age of 14 the child has the right to decide who they wish to live with unless the parent is unfit. My wife is very upset because he told her he was going to sent some court documentation about an arrest she had in 2001, to her parents and everyone she knows if she didnt drop the case. In 2001 she had alot of medical problems and she worked at a doctors office and stole a prescription pad and wrote a prescription and filled if for Xanax, she served one year of probation. I have two questions, 1. Is what he telling her against any laws, I see it as a threat? 2. Would she have anything to worry about as far as custody? She only takes prescription drugs now and does not abuse them in anyway.

There are certain things I don't understand the debate about gay marriage.

To People who defend gay marriage: Why are stuck upon the word "marriage"? Isn't equal rights enough?

To people who oppose gay marriage: If you intention is to protect the institution of marriage, why are you opposed to giving gays equal rights?

This is my solution. Let's abandon the use of the term "marriage" by the government. As far as the state and law is concerned, the issues are legal and the term "domestic partnerships" or "unions" could be used for both homosexual and heterosexual marriages.

Each individual church/organization/group can have their own defnition of what marriage is, and of course others need not care about them at all.

What do you think?
