Law & Ethics - November 2006

Is it considered discrimination when homosexuals do not have the same rights as hetrosexuals.

(such as gay marriage, even if titled something different such as gay union...with the same benefits then it would be equal rights)

I am speaking of basic rights and not just gay marriage.

How the Compromise Detainee Legislation Guts Common Article 3

"The proposed amendment would insulate officials responsible for the old and newly proposed military commissions, regardless of their deficiencies as due process courts, and protect from prosecution anyone who creates a kangaroo court or no tribunal at all in the future and then passes a sentence or carries out an execution without a prior credible judicial judgment."

This is not a question about being for or against capital punishment. What I want to know is if you think that the electric chair is cruel and unual punishment. Isn''t death penalty done by the following methods?:
1. electric chair
2. lethal injection
3. shooting range
4. gas chamber

If there are more or if these are wrong let me know.

Also, I realize that we shouldn't have pity on child molestors, rapists and murderers, but still there should be standards on the methods used in the death penalty. Do you agree?

Seems like they had it for a long time.

Do you agree with his sentencing to be hanged? Do you think it should be a harsher punishment such as a slower, more painful death or a more humane death such as a lethal injection? Should his life be ended or should he be allowed to live the rest of his natural life behind bars? What are your opinions here? Why do you think what you do?

How come a non-custodial parent be legally allowed to be in child-support arrears for 3 months, but I believe the custodial parent cannot disallow visitation for any amount of time? Is it justice to the custodial parent WILL incur late fees, etc... while the support goes unpaid? Custodial parents need to start standing up to the government about this: it's a joke. No one can survive without money, therefore I say: visitation and child support SHOULD AND DO go hand in hand. Does anyone agree?

My ex wife has been ordered by the court to refinance our marital home. This has been going on for 1 year, and she has yet to do so, either because the interest rate was too high, or she couldn't afford it. The judge, after giving her numerous continuances and chances to refinance, has finally imposed a $5000 fine on the ex if not refinanced by Nov 30, and $5000 thereafter for every month she does not comply. What comes next. Is this fine really enforceable, and what happens if she does not comply. Thank you

Person A does not care about money, although he is in debt, anyone who asks of him, he will give. He will give his last 5 dollars to a begger on the street, even though he can not eat for the week. This person also has a difficult time to charge people for business services, often works for free. Although he tries very hard to pay his bills, falls short and his credit suffers. Yet, If anyone owes him and cant pay, the debt is removed and the invidual never brings it up.

OR
Person B. Person b holds money in high regard When out and about, when ever any one asks of him/her , this individuals says NO, I am sorry I can not help you, even though they can. Anyone who borrows from them, they will hound to pay them back. And,they charge people high cost, even though they know others can not afford to pay them. This individual is well off and thinks he is more moral than person A because he is able to meet his debt obligations.

Is this true, and should person A change to be like B?
