Law & Ethics - March 2007

Man, I LOVE those crazy Liberals! They would be funny if they weren't serious. Since humans are "without a doubt" causing global warming.....

http://www.lifetechnology.org/blog/2006/11/global-warming-affecting-other-planets.html

Can someone explain to me why there is GLOBAL WARMING ON PLUTO??? Are aliens driving big SUV'S? Are they polluting their atmosphere?

Why is Mars experiencing a warming trend? Are they going to implement a carbon offsets program?

And the biggest question is...

When, oh when, will Al Gore go to Pluto to promote his new global warming plan? I'm waiting, Al......

I recently visited a convalescent home and was shocked to see how nice it is. I could not believe the services provided, the fun events taking place among the patients and the meals. Pillows fluffed, water fetched, slippers put on your feet - all by the nurses at the push of a button.

This seems like just the thing I need. I plan to pay out of pocket & stay at least 2 months. I went to my doctor for the appropriate arrangements and at 1st he did not understand what I was asking. Once he understood, he became angry and stated something along the line of "I will not associated with sending a 32 year old man to a convalescent home". So he is definitely not going to help me.

Looks like I have do it myself. Before I do, I'd like to know - is there any difference in rates with weeks vs. months? Even a discount as I'm 32 - my back hurts and I can't run like I used to but the nurses will not need to help me to the same degree as the older residents.

Can anyone provide me any tips?

So presumably guide dogs sometimes need to answer the call of nature while out and about.

Given that blind people aren't really in a position to clean up after them, are the dogs super well trained and don't defecate on the streets, saving it for when they get home, or are blind people expected to pick it up, or are they exempt from prosection?

old bill from a yellow page ad, once they found out i was getting ssi, they couldn't freeze my assets, now they're asking me what can i pay, i said $25 a month. The first amount owed was 1.000 original bill. it went from that to 1.500. now it's 2,500.00? how does the bill go from 1,000 to twenty five hundred? When i talked to the lawyer for the plaintiff, she was mad because i only had ssi, I agreed to pay 25 a month because i only get 670 a month. I wrote her a check for $50.00 and I never signed any paper work or settelment papers. Is the matter final even though I have not heard it from the judge? Or is the fact that I've not yet signed anything mean the matter is not yet final?

A car audio shop installs an in-dash mobile video player and bypasses a built-in safety lockout feature. As a result the car owner is able to watch movies while driving. He causes an accident which results in the death of a passenger in another vehicle. It is determined that the distraction of the video screen contributed to the accident.

Should the car audio shop have any liability? Should the installer or shop owner face criminal charges?

I am a UK citizen and resident. I have an account with an online broker based in the US. I have a Will in the UK, but that will obviously not be valid under US law.

Is there an easy way to make a US Will setting out what I want done with the assets in the brokerage account in the event of my death? I would like to avoid flying to the US to have the Will witnessed if I can!

I could not BELIEVE this story when I read it:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070323/ap_on_he_me/colleges_contraceptives

Apparently Medicare is raising premiums on Birth control in colleges. The question I have to ask is:

WHY IS MEDICARE PAYING FOR BIRTH CONTROL?????

Has our society degraded so far that sex is now mandatory for all college students? "Let's see, I need my antibiotics, my Diabetes medicine, and...Oh Yeah! My birth control!!!"

Is this the worst possible sign of the times, or what?



--Of course, many Liberals are going to point out the fact that I am also pro-life. They are going to say "Well, you don't want them to get cheap birth control, and you don't want them to get abortions, so what are they supposed to do with their babies? You are FORCING them to be pregnant (I have heard this MANY times on this site)

Well, you could just NOT HAVE SEX.........

This is absolutely sickening! He cut the head off of a family's pet dog and sent it to a girl in a gift-wrapped box. This is psyhological torture and in my opinion this guy deserves a lot more than the typical penalties people receive for animal cruelty . He should get at least 10 years in prison for doing something like this. If someone our dog's head off and sent it to my wife in a gift-wrapped box, I'd be hunting the bastard down and killing him myself.

How would an association that is nearly bankrupt go about suing a shady developer that sold them poorly constructed condos which are less than 2 years old?

Would something like this neccessarily have to go to court or could mediation be used?

What type of attorney would handle such a case?

I began the process of obtaining SSI, myself. After being turned down twice...( at the reconsideration phase )...I anticipated a hearing coming, so I hired an attorney.

He sent me a form to fill out... that he forwarded to the social security administration. And, when I went to see him....I had already obtained all medical records and had them organized in a binder. ( I used to work for an attorney, briefly. )

In the meantime, a wonderful doctor of mine obtained a special form and filled it out and got my approval for SSI....so , now I will not be having a hearing.

Do you think this attorney will charge me the full commission. He has, essentially, only forwarded one form for me...to the SSI administration...which I filled out.

What do you think?

My boyfriend has his contracted hours from 7:30 - 4:30 and he is paid accordingly. At 4:30 he is expected to pick up another member of staff and run him back to the yard where they work. This takes him to 6 and he does not get paid for the hour and a half running him around? Is there a law against this?

He spoke to his boss and his boss just said "thats why you have a company van whether it inconveniences you or not". There is nothing mentioned about this in his contract or the company policy that work staff with a van are responsible for getting everyone else to and from work.

Surely there must be some kind of law against this as he was not told he had to do this when he started his job ages ago (this has just started happening) and it reads nowehre in his contract, and surely this is classed as overtime and surely he should be paid.

Anyone have any good advice on this matter?

Because I support the resistance of all people the US govt marks as terrorists who struggle to keep american interests from entering and poluting their society, I get accused of supporting day care bombers ie sept 11. When in fact americas military has slain, raped, arsoned, etc not only far more of its own people, example Willian T Sherman against the civilian populace of the south in the civil war, or the sands creek massacre, or all the little Iraqi kids they have killed, tortured, raped, et al far more then any have done against this nation, I just dont understand the DENIAL, I mean why dont americans just be proud they are wicked and like the Nazi no less? I promise my nation that I wont help it in time of need, I would assist every enemy of it including my own indian blood lines, the govt of american is just plain wicked and no matter how much they deny and strive to spruce its image up, I see clearly it is vile and detestable.

Here are some annual figures of deaths from drugs in the uk.
solvents 47
ecstasy 50
herion 5000
alcohol 50000
tobacco 114000

The two legal drugs are the worst!

These figures also take into consideration related issues such accidents due to being under the influence. Its very hard to get a spectrum of different drugs as no one collects data on every drug?
My question is why can all drugs not be legal and the government tax them taking funds from crime organisations and putting the cash back into funding rehabilitation for dependant drug users?
