Law & Ethics - March 2007

Ellow there everybody.

I have heard that, if you don't apply for a provisional licence before the end of this month (March) you'll have to wait untill your 21. Is this true? Because I know, over here, in England, you can apply for one when your 16. And I wish to get one. But I want to know, if this is going to happen now. Can you please provide me with some proof from the government or something.

Thank you.

My best friend is ready to enlist in the Army, but I believe she may not be able to. She is currently on unsupervised probation. Does she have to wait until her probation is over before being allowed to enlist?

Oh, and please do not refer me to a recruiter. Even though I know they will give me the answer, I dont want to speak to one. I will refer her to one but this whole yahoo answers commuity is so that we can hear from our peers and the public about stuff. So what do you think or know?

Why in the Scooter Libby case how do you get indicted for obstuction of justice when no law was actually broken in the initial complaint.
A good analogy here, It's like being indicted for muder, then the muder victim shows up alive and well, but you still get indicted because they believe you lied about your whereabouts, to me this a classic example of political percecution or am I missing the point.

I gave a two week notice, but only worked out 8 days due to 2 funerals I had to attend. I had been employed there for 4 months. The facility is now telling new prospective employers that I did not work out my 2 wk notice and that I am not rehirable and that my employment did not go "smooth" yet my 90 day eval was a 3 out of 5.In other words, I am being blackballed now. I live in Indiana. What course of action should I now take?

Should a sex offender be able to train in the martial arts? Should they be able to achieve black belt status?

If not... WHY?

I know the "why" may seem obvious, but even sex offenders will need to defend themselves.

A close male friend of mine just revealed to me that he had been repeatedly raped by a female babysitter in her 20's when he was in elementary school. This happened over a course of time between 1990 and 1992 when he was 8 - 10 years old. These incidents took place in Fairbanks, Alaska where his stepfather was stationed in the military. He's just started talking about it after all these years and may be interested in telling the police if charges can be brought. This man is like a brother to me and I want to help him bring this sicko to justice. If she did this to him odds are there are other victims. Help please!

We bring several hundred people a year to foreign lands for jobs and culture exchange. Today, a guy calls up and says that one of the teachers in our program is manic depressive and lied on an application form. That he's collecting money from the government and taking medication.

So upon further quetioning of this individual, I find out that this teacher was engaged to his daughter, lived with them for a time, and that this guy has a personal vendetta against the teacher.

So my question is: 1) What to do in a situation like this, the teacher was required to complete a medical evaluation and passed with flying colors from his doctor. Is there a legal basis for not hiring a Manic Depressive who is on medication? Seems like discrimination to me!

This teacher passed several interviews, is highly educated and seems of good moral fiber.

What should I do about this guy who is trying to make trouble, he even contacted the consulate of the country where this guy is.

I'm planning to buy a gun, so I can protect myself..I'm pretty new to this idea...

How much does a gun cost?
Where can I buy it?
Do I need to give reasons why I want to purchase it (to the owner of the store)?
How old can you purchase one?
If I want to protect myself..where should I put the gun? I mean, I can't carry it with me all the time..
If a police checks my house, will he thinks me as a bad person for having a gun in my house?

Is there other way to protect myself than having gun ready?

I"m a US citizen.

When my dad died 2 years ago my aunt said "You girls are entitled to 1/3 but we need the money." Being in such a fog we never looked into this. I'm 37 and married. My dad didn't have much of anything just SS and Disability. But he did own a few vehicles. My sister and I don't want money for that purpose we just want what our dad would want, to get what he'd want us to have. No, there was no WILL except something he wrote on paper several years ago stating his grand-daugther was to get everything and it was to be managed by myself until she was 18. Can I do anything with that? I live in a different state than he did and is buried in. Any help, information or advice is greatly appreciated, thanks. Now that my head is out of a fog I can better handle this.

I read an article in the UK. They are testing teaching children about homosexuality through storybooks.

Do you agree that this is a good idea or not? Do you think this experiment will encourage children to practice the homosexual lifestyle or to accept it as moral? What do you think?

I was at the nail salon and as they do for all customers, because my nails were wet they moved my belongs for me when I switched tables. It was when it came time to leave that I noticed my keys were missing. We searched everywhere with no luck. I was forced to take a taxi, call a locksmith to get into my home and have the keys to my home and car changed.
