Law & Ethics - January 2007

There is a civil suit pending right now because a black woman had some problem with her credit and she was turned down because of her "bad credit." There is another with the exception that she is a white female. There have been companies that have been sued over this and lossed. In those cases the companies changed their policies on credit checks for hiring especially if it does not involve money or management.

My husband's stepdad and mom took out four credit cards in his name and maxed them out and never paid a dime. We always pay cash for everything or used a credit card I had and didn't find out until 2 years later (this past summer) when we were buying a house. At that time his stepdad was dying of pancreatic cancer. We still confronted his mom about it and she said that she knew we had good jobs and could pay for the credit cards and they took them out to pay for their transmission, bills, etc. We told her if she would have asked us for help, we would have, but they didn't even tell us about the cards and now they've ruined my husbands credit! We settled with 2 companies, but still have two more. His stepdad died in October and she received an insurance settlement. When my husband asked if she would help us settle with the other 2 companies, she threw a fit and acted like we were trying to steal "her" money! Now we have decided to take legal action. What should we do first?

I have always wondered... My parents and my older brothers say no. However, I was just browsing over a school website and it said that we have Freedom of Speech. Do we have all the other rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights?

I keep seeing this movie about Diane Downs murdered her kids because of her love life? That is really messed up and i don't think she should even be living. what do yall think about this situation?

I am currently eligible for FMLA through my present employer (a county agency in Ohio) for the upcoming birth of my child at the end May and wish to take the full 12 weeks to care for the child. It is my understanding that I only need to file for FMLA 30 days prior to taking FMLA, however, my employer is telling me that I needed to file as soon as I found out that I was pregnant. The only reason that they are giving me is that pregnancy can also be counted as an “ongoing medical condition” and that they can subtract any time that I take off for doctor’s appts from that 12 weeks. Furthermore, rumor has it from individuals who have taken FMLA for maternity leave in the past is that they make you use FMLA retroactively for dr’s appts. My intentions are to file for FMLA leave at the end of March, however, I was given the FMLA papers on 1/25 and was told that they needed to be returned within 2 weeks. Legally, are these things that employers are allowed to do?

Is it legal if your mother trys and takes your cell phone that you own, and pay for? Also, you're over the age of 18 and still live w/her. Also, is it right that your mother bruns your college homework if you don't do what she says and doesn't let you study before you do what she says that will take all day and your test is tomorrow?

I've been thinking.. how can piracy of music and private video game servers (lineage II for example) cost these businesses money? For example let's say someone downloads a song that they enjoy but whether that song was online for them to download or not they would not have bought the CD. How can such a situation be considered a loss? Also do you feel that the government is over stepping its boundaries in helping these multi-billion dollar corporations using tax dollars to go after United States citizens? Wouldn't these tax dollars be better spent on education and improving everyone's way of life instead of babying these corporations? The internet used to be a fun place to explore but now I'm afraid that every action I take will have the FBI breaking down my door. It's ridiculous.
