Law & Ethics - November 2006

The following is the answer to my question and it is very disturbing. "
Richards only did what probably every other heckled comedian would like to do. In fact, he did what MOST of us would like to do when we're harassed by blacks, teen-agers with spiked hair, bullies, or the other cretins of our society.
But we're afraid to call someone the "n" word, or tell them they look stupid with all that green spiked hair and tattoos, because we're afraid they'll retaliate.
His career isn't over. I don't even see why he felt the need to apologize, other than to clear his own conscience. I'm sure he felt bad about the things he said, but I'd guess he was coerced into a situation that ultimately caused him to 'snap'.
Why didn't the hecklers apologize? Because they're too damned full of themselves (and probably busy huddling with their lawyers trying to concoct some sort of racial lawsuit over this incident). The management of the comedy club should have thrown them out, as they were undoubtedly disturbing the other patrons who were there to see Richards perform.
I'm no racist, but I question why we white people are so intimidated by blacks who demean us, harass us, or threaten us just because they're black. As far as I'm concerned, they deserve the "n" word (just as "white trash" is an appropriate slur towards white people who are rebellious, rude, mean, tough, arrogant, violent, criminal, lazy, or useless human beings).
I applaud Richards for coming forward and offering his apology; he is a much better man than the cretins who heckled him, and then hid in the darkness of the audience. -RKO-

My former employer, the World Travel Awards Ltd, was ordered by the Employment Tribunal (London Central, 23 June
2006) to pay me a compensation for sex
discrimination on the grounds of maternity leave,
injury to feelings, constructive unfair dismissal and
unlawful deduction from wages (Statutory
Maternity Pay)

World Travel Awards Ltd keeps ignoring this
judgment of the Employment Tribunals and have never got in touch with me. So why the law is that weak? It is a double discrimination to me.

The carport did not say that you would get towed if you parked there. So, they have admitted that they are wrong, and will pay me the fee for the towing. But what about the lost wages? Is this something that is really possible to take to court in the state of Texas? My boyfriend and I missed out on work for the whole day, this day cost us over $558.00. And the apartments only want to pay 1/4 of it. What do you think? Anyone have facts?

At thetime my husband died we were legally seperated and in the middle of a divorce. We had a no contact order and he beat the crap out of me several times. I had nothing to do with the funeral arrangements and did not even attend. His family recieved some compensation from the state and now two years later are trying to sue me for the funeral costs because of course he did not have life insurance. They also stole the whole estate from me before I had a chance to take anything that belonged to me. Should I sue them in return for stolen belongings?

Hi,
I am writing a term paper for my business law and ethics course about the movie "Thank You for Smoking." My report will give a summary of the movie, and also discuss the legal aspects of material covered in the plot.
I'll have no problems writing about the ethics, however, I need some help finding the laws that relate to the story. I've been searching around for about an hour, and I'm not having much luck.
I would really appreciate some help!
Thank you!

If your not an Eskimo, but you keep being refferd to as an Eskimo, even when the co-worker has been told to stop because it is not true at all, just because someone is from Alaska, does not automatically make you an Eskimo. So if I went to work and called her somthing horrible like the N word, because she is a black woman, how is that different from me being a Native American? I am not an Eskimo, nor do I want to be called Eskimo, so should she still be working there if she is calling people racial slurrs? How is being called the N word diffrent then being called Skemo? (Eskimo)

Well, Ive called Fedex everyday. That was 3 days ago. Its invalid. Is it a federal crime to give a fake number thru Fedex?

Small town city government is trying to collect from a friend, room and board for 30 day jail term served 4 1/2 yrs ago, over a municipal code/zoning violation. No written bill or request for payment has ever been sent by the court or the city, until an arrest warrant was executed recently (few days ago) by municipal judge. Friend didn't even know about the costs, and still hasn't been presented with a bill, by the city or the court. Any thoughts that I can share with him would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Am I the only person to think "The War Against Terrorism" Is a Pathetic excuse for GWB to revenge his Father when he backed out of the war yearsssss ago, It's Not like the USA will ever stop Terrorism, look at allot of the people from the middle east they have been fighting for over 2000 yrs and nothing has stopped them yet, If they are going to fight terrorism, why don't they go after Gangs first,(here in the USA) they invoke terror, Even here in the USA they have been fighting the War on Drugs for 30+ years and yet there's heroin, cocaine, cannibus, methanphetimines, even legal drugs like alcohol and perscription drugs that are abused.......is there an end?

Hey...if you can dish it, you better be able to take it.

If it comes to be proven he was partaking in hazing activities prior to his accusations, then he should not get a dime. This is nothing more than guys being guys in a firestation. Any LAFD guys out there to clear this up a bit? This case seemed fishy way back when it first surfaced. I never beleived it one bit.
