Law & Ethics - January 2007

is trying to pass a law that says you can't spank kids. But he sure doesn't mind if you kill them with an abortion.
That, people, is liberalism at it's best. Totally contradictory. Don't you think?
And don't give me any crap about "it's not a person, it's a fetus." At approx 18 days there is a detectable heartbeat. Which means there is a heart. Now, isn't life sustained by a beating heart? I know mine is.

How do you determine if plaintiff and defendants are living in 2 different states such as NJ and NY ?

I am in NJ and the potential defendants are living in outside of New York City.
2 different cases.
1) I have paid off the loan and asked for the paid off statment without getting any written response. Should I file in a county small claims court in what state ?

2) I have a business contract to be paid more than 100K. Not getting a good response either. Should I file in a county supreme court in what state ?

Please advice...
Thanks.

Many people assume that marijuana was made illegal through some kind of process involving scientific, medical, and government hearings; that it was to protect the citizens from what was determined to be a dangerous drug.

The actual story shows a much different picture. Those who voted on the legal fate of this plant never had the facts, but were dependent on information supplied by those who had a specific agenda to deceive lawmakers. You'll see below that the very first federal vote to prohibit marijuana was based entirely on a documented lie on the floor of the Senate.

You'll also see that the history of marijuana's criminalization is filled with:

Racism
Fear
Protection of Corporate Profits
Yellow Journalism
Ignorant, Incompetent, and/or Corrupt Legislators
Personal Career Advancement and Greed
These are the actual reasons marijuana is illegal.

My neighbor is a German-born American. He's a good man, and we've always been very close friends. Recently, I found out that he was a Nazi war criminal during WWII, and now I don't know what to do: Fulfill my patriotic duty and report him, thus losing someone close to me, or do I keep silent and take comfort in my knowledge that he's not the man he was back then?

I was with him at the dealership when it happened, but inside. I was waiting for a salesman. Minutes before, we had gone outside to look at some cars in the lot, and I went ahead and went back inside, to wait for the salesman, as I said. I sat in a few cars, it must have been 5 minutes. Then everyone runs out of the showroom. Instinctively, I knew something happened. I ran out, he was being peeled off the concrete. He tripped and fell on a step, a platform, which was about four inches high, which went to an unmarked, glass side door. There was NO SIGN or indication that there was an increase in elevation of the ground. The platform/step was the same color concrete as the rest of the small walkway. He tripped, fell flat on his face. There was a LOT of blood. Blood all over the walkway, through the showroom, and in the bathroom, where I cleaned him up for nearly 20 minutes, until the ambulance came. I took him to the E.R. myself, filed a police report. We want to pursue legal action.

My issues would be free birth control for everyone, birth control included in any foreign aid, forced sterilization for people who are drug addicts, felons or have 2 children they can't afford. Free job training & child care for people on welfare (with a time limit), putting addicts in rehab instead of jail (this is what Euorpean countries do), legalize medical marijuana & decriminalize marijuana for everyone. No war without a dam* good reason. There are more, but I'll stop there. You get the drift.

School doesn't tell you anything related to it's harmful affects.. well, maybe some lie but whatever. They just say weed's bad. They say a bunch of **** about tobacco though, all about how bad it is and stuff.

How come they keep marijuana illegal when it's harmless? I know it's harmless. People talk about it, and I heard that the alcohol companies pay big money to keep it illegal.

If they are, why don't they just switch from selling alcohol to weed when they legalize it, or instead, they can sell both? I mean, alot of people might start smoking weed, so how about sell weed instead so you can still get big money? Have the alcohol companies been drunk from their own drinks that they haven't thought of that or is there something else that I don't know about?

I wanna know, it's just curious.

No silly answers please, but you can give me your opinions and give me facts about this entire thing. I'll choose the best answer for someone who gives me a reasonable answer for it all.

Thanks.

I was finishing up a task at work one day when I slipped on an overly wet floor (mopped) and partially dislocated my hip. I told the owner and the human resources person the same day. I was told that if my hip was still hurting me on Monday that something would be set up with a dr. and I would have it checked out. I went in that Monday, which was also my scheduled yearly review, as normal ready to work. I was still having a lot of pain with my hip and was definatly going to tell my boss that something needed to be checked out. She, before I could say anything, came out of her office and told me that, due to an office reorganization, was out of a job. She gave me a severance and paid me for the vaction that was due. I told her that my hip was hurting. She acted like it was the first she ever heard of it, when i know for a fact that she knew about it that Thursday. I went to dr, did phys. therapy and am ok. i found out yesterday that i was fired because of the fall. What should i do??

OK, this is a hypothetical question for me, but real for some people.

I am a calm type of person. I never resort to physical action in any situation. I wanna know what should i do if my girlfriend started taking advantage of my calmness & resorted to physically abusing me for even the pettiest things that I did wrong? It is not in my nature to hit back, so should i call the cops & get her arrested for assault?

Would my girlfriend be able to get away with it, because females usually have the upper hand in all these type of situations?
