Law & Ethics - December 2006

December 2nd is the UN's International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. Over the past four decades relationships between Africa and Britain and the rest of Europe have undergone important shifts. Nonetheless, the past remains in significant respects unresolved. Many Africans feel that Europe owes Africa and Africans some form of acknowledgement of wrongs done, and some form of reparation for slavery and colonialism

Somone used my state liscence number twice and recieved six moving violations on my liscence. They spelled my name wrong, different address and terribly wrong birthday. I got aletter stating I needed to take apoints test. Went downtown found out about the tickets. The person paid three and the other two were half paid. I set a date in court about them, and still had tot take the test. I went to court, cop didnt show up and the DA office tried to take some points off, but I showed him the fraudlent info and he said all were dismissed and thrown out. He ripped up the paperwork....Now here's my question
Will I get my court fees refunded ot me? And will they send me a refund for what they paid on the fines? This is in Philadelphia, PA.

I have brought my car in for repairs only to have the dealership not fix it coreectly and still charge you. I know this has happened to alot of people but car dealerships sem to get away with it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I find it really annoying because these costs can really add up. This is a Canada based question although I imagine laws would be somewht similar. All entries welcome.

Just a thought - they're punishing the 4x4 and waffling on about global warming but I don't think I have yet seen a government official in an electric-powered car, or even an local government officials. Forget the security aspect, you can guard an electric car as well as any other vehicle ... but does anyone know why the Labour Government give us one rule, then play by another?

Should abortion be legal or illegal? As an adopted person I can see both sides of the story. I might not be here today if abortion was legal in my country (Ireland). At the same time, I don't think it's reasonable to force a rape victim to carry the child to term against their will - especially if the victim is a child. Opinions would be welcome.

Isn't using tax payers dollars to recover the bodies (living or dead) of those lost hikers just another subsidy for the rich.

Afterall most hikers that have enough money to plan a vacation and have gear are rich ... AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THERE RICH THINK OF HOW REGULAR WORKING PEOPLE LIVE ... The only vacations I have had time or money for was to visit family .... hell I have not even left the state in 10 years. I just don't have the money or the time to have a fancy vacation (like they did).

I live in the country and when I was injured and flown out by careflight I got a $8,000 bill for the use of the helicopter (100% out of pocket) and hospital cost. (even living in the city an ambulance cost anywhere from 250 to 1,000 depending on time which is also 100% out of pocket)

Yet, if the guys get rescued they don't have to pay a dime for the already over $200,000 spent on trying to find them.

I say let them buy an insurance policy ... many of the counties where these hikers

As far as I understood the law, if you are a genuine asylum seeker, you must claim so at the first democratically elected country you come to... and theres a lot of those between albania etc. and Britain...

Maybe I'm misinformed, but thats how I understood the law...

Example: the moral of "telling the truth", & "being honest". From what I've learned, people don't want to hear the truth, they only want to hear what they want you to say.

Example of that is: A person tells you to stop being negative about a topic. They say they want you to be more positive. But they're idea of "being positive", is for you to never mention what you really feel to them about the matter. In fact, you aren't being negative, your being realistic in the way were your seeing both the positive & negative of the matter in order to figure out the problem. But your friend feels that just by acknowledging the possible negative, that your being negative.

You learn that all this person wants you to do is say only the positive about the issue, & not mention what you really feel. So you do that from now on, & the person then feels your an easy going, positive person.

I see this especially in the business world. So why be honest when everyone wants dishonesty?

i know that battery is actually touching the person and simple physical threat can be considered an assault, but why do court cases usually refer to assault when person A has already punched person B?
assault causing bodily harm for one is an example...
why not call it battery instead??
