Law & Ethics - February 2007

Colorado- You can't even smoke a cigar in a bar. They made Wal-Mart remove all guns from their shelves. You can't shoot real fireworks their like other states. Man, doesn't this make you want to move there?

Here's what really makes me mad. California
No smoking, even outside at beaches. Strict gun laws. But they allow immoral stuff. Gay marriage.

What is it with these people? They say it's wrong to own a gun and smoke in a bar. But it is okay to have gay marriages??

California started the ===== smoking ban. So, should be follow a screwed state like this?

They like to allow sissy things. But they are against guns. Oh, a gun scares the liberals. Oh, well that gun I bought at Wal-Mart might save my family in danger!

Oh, I don't like the smell of smoke. If it was 30 years ago. You would be on your a-- if you whined about smoking in a bar.

Where's the real old west?

A person is tried with murder, and convicted of that crime, and then punished with the death penalty. Later, new evidence arises that clears that person of the crime, and proves their absolute innocence in this matter.

In this case, is the society that punished the individual with death, guilty of murder itself, and if so, what punishment should be inflicted on society to punish it for it's crime...?

Ok, I know this sounds immature but it's along story, my bf's ex put up a new myspace profile (she doesnt know who i am, she doesnt know that he even has a gf, I don't want to tell her off or get mean or nasty I just want to thank her so much for leaving her hubby and what a wonderful man he is and that even though she's taking him for the $1500 a month proverbial "ride" that I have lots of money to spoil him with. I know...sounds immature but there is an important court date coming up and it might totally frazzle her nerves if she knows that he's got someone (an upgrade from herself), I think it might help things. Can I get in any sort of trouble for doing this? I'm not going to threaten or scare, or be too rude, just want to frazzle her a bit being as she doesnt think he should be allowed to be happy in any sort of way. Knowing that he has a gf that actually cooks and cleans would drive her insane. I just want to make sure that i cant get in any trouble for harassment or anything.

Is communism Martial Law or Marshal Law? I always thought it was Martial Law since martial means military (as in court-martial), but I saw someone spell it the other way recently. How did it get the name?

i just read where the two teen brothers in atlanta were sentenced to 10 years in prison for cooking a live puppy in a stove...then they brought neighbor children in to look at it....the police found scratch marks in the oven where the puppy suffered to death...i would have given the rotton pieces of garbage the death penality, i don't care about the law...
we the people should pull these morons out of the courtroom and hang them in the public square....then spit on them, light a fire under them and dance around as their rotton souls desced to hell...

I am ordered by the court to take my son to his fathers house on a certain day of the week. His father rarely shows interest, doesn't answer his phone, won't answer the door, doesn't call to check up on child. I am concerned that he will try to take me to court again saying that I am not obeying the court order. (He has taken me to court on several occassions) how do i prove that i am doing exactly as the court order states? How many times can I take child to the house just to wait outside to see if anyone answers? (New Jersey)

You invite a painter over to your home to discuss some painting that needs to be done. You discuss what needs to be painted, the desired color scheme, and the final price. Nothing is written down. You agree on terms and the painter then performs the work, for which you pay him. Have you entered into a contract? If so, what type?

I was wondering if it is legal for an employer to record the conversations between employees in state of Michigan? Regardless of if the conversations are business related or not. Can the employer legally eavesdrop one his/her employees by setting up video surveillence that records voice? I am not talking recording phone calls. Any websites proving this either way? Thanks.

We live in NY.
We just had our first son. We are going away for one week while the baby stays with grandma and grandpa in Colombia, southamerica.
God forbids something happens to us, we dont want any arguments between grandparents. The baby stays with maternal parents in Colombia.
What happens there? Should we bring the document with us and enforce it in Colombia (in the event that something happens)
Or if something happens, my parents should come to USA???

My family purchased a home (12/06) it didn't have a side fence, we spoke to the neighbor (he had his house for sale) that we would be putting a fence(wood). He said we could do whatever we wanted. We put it (1/07)up with the nice part on our side, on 2/07 the new owner came up to my sister and told her ( very rudely) she, that the job was done wrong, that we had to put a row of wood along his side. He also said we should have talked to him, we didn't know the house had been sold! ( the for sale by owner sign is still up on the lawn. What should we do? Is he right? or just being a jerk?

First of all, I'm not looking for any opninions. I'm looking for facts only. I needed to take a personal day on a day that both my manager and his boss will be out. The response was that my request was declined and I was told if I don't show up for work I'll get a warning and maybe get fired. Can they do this? Can they force me to work like this?

BTW...the only reason I requested the day of is becuase I was told that working out of another office that is convenient to waht I need to do is not acceptable since I'm the senior guy in my group. Reality is with multiple phones and e-mail...I don't need to be there.

Back to the issue...can they legally even threaten to fire me for this? What should I do?
