Law & Ethics - April 2007

I made a bet with my boyfriend. He says that women may go topless in public anywhere that men are allowed to go without a shirt.

If I win, he has volunteer to pose nude for an art school. If I lose, then I have to spend two hours topless with him in Central Park next time we go to NY.

Do we truly have freedom of speech when you can get sued (rather easily) for what you say?

I'm not talking about stuff like racism and the like, more on intelligent criticism and comments (esp aganist govt figures and policies)

Alcohol is an evil drug and to be okay with it's use is anti-Christian. Think about how many people die each year because of it in car crashes and because of health problems and because alcohol affects people's judgments, thus making them more likely to commit a crime.

Alcohol is almost as strong as marijuana, so don't you think it should be illegal too? Your body is sacred because it was made by God and he doesn't want you to intefer with it.

Marijuana and alcohol only lead to destruction. Marijuana kills and so does alcohol, so the Christian thing to do is to protect the children and make alcohol illegal to everyone. It WILL save lives. Just think of the car crashes alone.

Do you agree?

If not, then you are willing to sacrifice people's lives in car crashes for personal freedom. How nice of you.

I don't remember who I heard this from but i remember that we were discussing liability of damage caused by pets or one pet killing another pet, and they told me that aperson couldn't legally own a cat in the United States because they are human indendent and thus a erson can't be sued for what a cat does and yeah if you have any info on this it would be greatly appreciated as well.

When someone kills a relative so they can collect the life insurance (and they get caught), does the murderer still get the money? If not, who gets the money?

Don't believe me? Do a little research. Organizations abound to protect animals, but our children are left to fend for themselves, and are ill-equiped to do that when you factor in a judicial system that fails time and again to prosecute criminals who perpetrate crimes against children, or that refuses to recognize that children are human beings possessing civil rights in the first place; a social service system that does not work in that it all too often criminalizes loving parents and tears functional families apart while exonerating guilty ones for lack of evidence; parental deciet and an inability or unwillingness on the part of children to speak out against abusive parents or caretakers; not to mention overworked underpaid workers who suffer from systematic "burnout" and case overload. Reporting an incident of child abuse rarely ever effectuates results. Loopholes abound between the initial report and an offender being indicted or prosecuted.

With the changing of times, there are a lot of things that seem to be outdated. Such as now a days it is mainstream to have a piercing other than the nose. It's much different today than it was a few years ago. My question lies with the general issue of marijuanna and how to legalize it's use. Is it a federal law? Or can a county make it possible through an Ordianance? Can majority rule? How does this work?

I think it should. Pornography is a great evil in the world and I am shocked at how ubiquitous it is in the world. It's all over the place. Don't you think the people who participate in this should get hard prison sentences? They all need to spend some serious time behind bars in order to send a clear message that porn of ANY time is evil and unacceptable. Pornography is ant-Christian. Your body is special and it is supposed to be sacred like a temple. To show it off is horrible. We need prison sentences for these lowlife people that exploit sex.

Do you agree?

Here's a scenerio (feel free if you aren't into law, to put in an opinion:

At our high school we are given slips of paper to sign that say "By signing this, you agree to ride the bus for the field trip and you waive all liability to the school in case of an accident." My parents would always add "as long as the driver is not at fault". So let's say that my parents sign one of those forms and the driver gets in an accident where he was at fault and I was injured. Would I be able to sue the school or would the waiver of liability still apply?

Collecting agency filed a law suit again my mom for medical bill. However, the amount is not correct. Do I need to send some kind of proof and negotiate with them at the court?


She cannot work, and my dad was in a car accident few months ago. He will not able to work certain period time while getting a treatment. So, Even if collecting agency could get a judgment against my parents, they don’t have any personal property or money to pay them. I’m a college student and taking off a year for making a living.

I have contacted the collecting agency, and they want a certain down payment about 4000, and then I could set up a monthly payment. But we can’t afford that kind of money for down payment right now. It is really hard to pay our rent. I could only afford about 150 each month. We really really want to make a payment.
Or Can I make a payment plan with hospital now?
What should I do?

Thank you.

A few days ago I was home for about two hrs in the course of that time some kid took and sketched about 10 drawing into the paint with a rock.
I filed a police report and talked to my insurance lady (at the time not knowing who did it) and in order for me to fix it I would have to pay my $500 deductible. But tonight when i came home the girl was out there getting ready to do again, and admitted she did it. So we called the cops and reported it and was basically told I am SOL since she was under 10...which is bull why wasnt the parents watching her at all. But I dont want to tell my insurance company i found out who did it, cause I am afraid then they wont cover it. But then again i was thinking maybe the renters insurance would...does anybody know anything about it?
the cops only suggestion was taking the parents to small claim court. which i am having surgery next week and dont really have the time nor the enery to fight it... any suggestion would help thanks

I'm writing a short paper for my sociology class on this topic. Focusing on one reason for each--alcohol is legal because the government is profiting off of it and marijuana is illegal because of the assumption that marijuana use leads to harder drug use. I don't necessarily have to support these statements, but I do have to prove them. Any input on this?
