Law & Ethics - February 2007

I want to add news content legally to a website but am not sure how to do it. For ex if Tiger Woods quotes of "I had a great game today" at "SPORTS.com", can i add these quotes to my website? How would I source it legally? Any legal things to look for when citing news/quotes from other websites?

Do you think it should be illegal to smoke in your house or car when children are present?

I can't believe this topic has not yet been defined by law. Why should children suffer because of adults' vile habits?

Last night I had one of the most frightneing experiences of my life. I got pulled over for having a broken headlight. The cop came up to my window and I started to explain why (that i got in an accident and havent had enough money to fix it yet), and he kept interrupting me, trying to accuse me of not telling the truth. I got pretty annoyed and asked him to please stop interrupting me. Then he said "don't give me attitude", and I said I wasnt and that I was just annoyed that he was interrupting me when I was telling my story. THen he told me to get out of the car and he was like "follow me" and walked to behind his car. He punched me in the stomach and then started kicking me when I was on the ground. THats all I remember. When I woke up, I was in my neighbors house and I guess they brought me inside when they saw me laying on the street. What can I do? I would like to find the cop who did this but I don't remember too well what he looked like.

The amout of money we spend on fighting drugs would help insure ppl and put some back into social secutity. For god sakes they outlawed a plant that never killed 1 peron yet they let alcohol and tobacco kill over 500 million a yeAR. I cant even get psdo-ephendrine without i.d. now.. What bs.

Ok I have a question to ask about jury duty. Now I have been called before but have always been sent home, I've been summoned again, and this time its during the testing week for most of my classes in college. I realize it would be against a law for a job to discriminate against me for searving on jury duty, but does that also mean that I my instructors would be required to give me make up exams for each day that I am forced to attend?

I really can't fail this course since it has not been offered in 2 years and it is the last course I need to complete my major for my degree. Thanks in advance.

I was fired because another employee told my supervisor he “might have felt threatened” by things I said to him. Do I have any legal recourse?

Background: I had been on medication for depression for about the last six months of my position in a large company. A co-worker had been coming in to my general cubicle area and making disparaging sexual remarks. This led to emotional interference for my getting my job done due to mental anxiety.

I have an outburst within a couple of days at which point a co-worker says “Did you forget to take your medication today?”

I confront this co-worker asking him in general “what his problem was” I was extremely upset over this due to the fact that I was on medication and this in itself for extremely traumatic for me.

Someone who overheard must have reported this to my supervisor, who proceeded to question this employee. The co-worker was led by my supervisor to indicate that he felt somewhat threatened by my behavior. Shortly thereafter I was fired.

I am writing a persuasive paper on why the death penalty should be abolished (this is not necessarily my opinion, it is just what my paper has to be about). I need to have some reasons why people should even care about the issue. for example, if someone has never had a family member killed or has never been related to someone who is on death row or has been executed, then why should they care about the death penalty? anyone have some input on this?

Answer this question for me please!
Directions: decide if the Constitution allows this situation, then write which article and section supports your decision. Here's the situation:

The current size of the U.S. House of Reps. is 435 members. This number was set by Congress in 1929. However, the population in your state has grown by 40% over the past two years. Your state legislature recently passed a law that added one additional representative to the U.S. Congress. Your state court judges approved the law. A statewide election was held, and your friend was the winner of the new seat.
Allows? or doesn't allow?
What says?
Thanks.

I was recently dismissed from a job as a webmaster for a small college textbook store.
