Law & Ethics - March 2007

I recieved a threat in a hate letter from somebody and my first instinct is of course to tell. But the person who sent it is related and some one else is involved who I don't think should have to deal with that kind of trouble (they would probably at least get suspended from school). At the same time they shouldn't get to go off free, right?

I thought my child support was being paid from my workmans comp as they knew about it and how much it was. They did not and I have to go to friend of the court for a meeting know. I was laid off as soon as I was sent back to work and have almost no money. They are taking 98.80 out of 275 .00 that I get per week. I have no money to take to the meeting but have approx. 450.00 coming in tax returns that they will automatically take. I did not try to skip on my child support I was undr the impression it was figured into workmans comp. The checks were no itemized in any way and were approx. the same as what I got when i was working after taxes and Child support.

A former friend of mine got into trouble with the property mgr and attempted to "strangle him". He is being charged with "assault causing bodily harm". My friend says it was a "set-up" and if he wins he will take out a lawsuit against the property mgr for $. If the property mgr wins he will sue my friend for "damages".
My friend needs help as he will probably get probation. I think probation is not enough...he needs "mental help" as he has a terrible temper ;is a control freak; is immature and unstable and likes to be admired all the time.
The prosecutor needs to know this information ...but I do not want to be called to the stand in the court as the person who gave the information and be "cross-examed etc. How do I tell the prosecutor without making myself a witness etc. My former friend will take out a lawsuit against ME if I get involved.
He needs help = doesn't realize it. He is not stable. He works , makes alot of money but that is all. He prides himself on being an Indian man.

What do u think about young girls & boys being given some kind of drug or other treatment that prevents them from having sex and or prevent them from reproducing until they reach the legal age of consent & have undergone parenting classes.
Many of u probably know a single parent or couple that allows their offspring 2 run wild & do whatever the child wants 2 do.
Most likely, those children become the children that are disruptive n school; engage n criminal behavior; use drugs & or alcohol; become sexually active at a young age; become parents & then raise their children n the SAME MANNER.

Over the years I have seen young girls hang out all times of the day and night, party & do drugs while pregnant and still do the same things while the child is n infancy & childhood & have the child with them as they do this.
I truly believe that EVERY BEHAVIOR IS LEARNED.
I believe that ALL criminal & uncivil behavior can b traced back 2 how one was raised & taught during infancy & childhood.

My best friend has a kid who has recently been sick. It is not a cronic illness, therefore he has nothing like OFLA (since we live in OR) or FMLA.
This situation has led him to miss work a few times, and his job is at risk.
Is there some kind of law that can help him keep his job?

I'm currently applying for my Class D license in New York State. One of the requirements is attendance at a five hour class on driving safety. Those classes are given by driving schools, for a fee of $ 35, and you can pick whatever school you want.

I went to a driving school, paid my fee, and, instead of getting a five hour class, I watched videtapes about driving safety for about an hour, and then they called me to the outer office, gave me my certificate and sent me on my way.

They did this with the other four students too - and with two other people who didn't even come in and watch the videos!

Was it right for them to give me a certificate for a class that I didn't complete?

Should I report them to NYS DMV?

Or should I just shut up and keep my certificate?

I am getting fed up with the state of this country. CCTV everywhere, speed cameras on our roads and smoking bans. Now it's becoming law that speaking on your mobile, hands free or not will be illegal. My hubby drives a lorry and says that it will be law for no drinking, eating or smoking in his cab. What is going on? It's political correctness gone berserk.

OK, so the jails and prisions are getting so full, don't you think the system should be revamped? I'm tired of these degenerates getting (3 hots and a cot) everything provided for them when they BROKE THE LAW in one form or another.They got there by the choices they made in life.There comes a certain point in life that you have to start being responsible for yourself and stop using your upbringing or past as an excuse.

In 2005, I signed a two-year business agreement with a company. Every month, I emailed my acct. rep and asked that the invoice be corrected to reflect the contract rates. I received an email from the investigation team and they said the company could only provide credit for the past six months. Is this even legal? Why can't they go back to the date the contract was signed by both parties?
If it were the other way around, the company bills the consumer for the difference for the entire two years.
Any advice? This just doesn't seem right to me.

Am I the only one who finds this strange? That we built governments and then they told us that certain plants are banned because they found out that they make some people feel good when it's smoked?

I can't wait to get to heaven and have all this crap sorted out. I'm serious. I want to know who is in the right.

I hope God gives me the right to go b*tch-slap everyone who ever voted in favor of banning one of his creations.
