Details: ok, for instance, you get BMG or some junk mail over and over again and it gets irritating right? So, what if one was to mail back some of the stuff they sent to you in the pre-paid envelope to them? Is that illegal? I mean, in a far fetched idea one could rationalize that it is a way they could re-use the material that you found useless and to mail it to someone else. ;o)

As long as it does not break any laws over equal rights?

I have owned a business, a Pizza Place, and I turned down people before becasue of how they where dressed (baggy clothes or showing too much), or how they acted (gangster style.

Business SHOULD have the right to refuse service if they wish too, in order to keep the apperence of a nice place.

What do you think?

It is Kelli’s 17th Birthday party. During the party, Kelli has a few too many drinks. Don is at the party. He has lived next door to Kelli for years, they grew up together. Don recently has a new job at a car sale yard. He gets paid on a commission basis, but things have been a bit slow recently. Kelli, feeling very happy, talks to Don, telling him how much she likes the red ‘Xo3’ he has in the car sale. Don seizes the opportunity, he pulls out a standard purchase contract (which he just happens to have on him) and signs up Kelli to buy her new car on the spot.

The next morning Don turns up with Kelli’s ‘Xo3’. Kelli is not quite so happy this morning. She did not realise that Don had been serious and would never have signed the paper if she had known that. Kelli does not want to part with the money she has saved to go to University and so refuses the car.

True many people hate him and think he's a murderer, but he has never been found guilty of anything.

Is it right and legal to discriminate against him?

15 minutes are up? I do! First he's yammering about Imus, and ( yes, it was wrong what Imus said to the Rutger's team but he shouldn't have gotten fired over it.) NOW, Mr. Sharpton is being a total hypocrite, and has made bigoted statements regarding presidential candidate Mitt Romney for being a Mormon- and not a Christian. Al Sharpton needs to shut his trap!

I recently saw the movie "America: Freedom to Fascism" by Aaron Russo . He states that the 16th amendment was never ratified by a sufficient number of states to become law and also that the Supreme Court ruled in 1916 that the amendment did not bestow on congress the power to create any new tax (ie. federal income tax). Any thought as to the validity of this assertion. Has anyone here done any independent research on it?

There is a report on some of the Jehovahs Witness Discussion Forums that the Watchtower Society settled 14 law suits taken out against them by victime of child abuse from within their congregations out of court. All these cases were in the USA, and it is also reported that the Watchtower was able to impose a gagging order on the claimants to prevent them going public with the settlements. However, the news has, apparently, been leaked, not by the claimants or their legal representatives, but by people within the organisation who wish that the truth should be told. Apparrently, the Napa Valley Courthouse in California has confirmed that these cases have indeed been settled out of court, but no details of the size of the payouts has been revealed as yet. If these reports are accurate, it would appear that the Watchtower Society has once again been able to cover up child abuse cases within their organisation, though settling out of court is an admission of guilt in itself.

I was given a gift certificate to Nordstrom, and I bought myself an expensive beautiful Brahmin purse which was on sale for half price. The purse is made of hand tooled leather, and the design looks like mock crocodile skin. It is specially done by the artists at Brahmin, and it is quite realistic. I've been scorned and ridiculed for having a purse that looks like crocodile, and when I tell them it is made to look that way by artists, I am told that it is unethical for leather artists to be making something that looks like endangered animals. This happens at least once a day by someone. Yesterday I was told that I should give the crocodile his skin back, and today I was told that I was lucky they didn't have a can of red spray paint. So I am wondering, do you think it is unethical for leather artists to make goods that look like crocodile skin? Am I hurting the cause of an endangered animals by using this purse?

I have a boss who has sent questionable "racey" emails in the past. ex.....
She sent an email that is referencing why "african american mexican, jewish, asian and other minorities have support groups, ex NAACP. Some of you have probably seen the email, I think it is titled "YOU ARE CALLING ME A RACIST? The whole email compares these groups and how minorities would feel if there were "white groups and such" and how would we feel. The point is, it does not matter on how she feels about the groups and their support system, what DOES BOTHER me is she is a "manager" (not a co-worker on the same level) who sent this to our dept as if it was appropriate, I voiced my feelings already to her and she apologized, then turned around a week or so later and sent ANOTHER questionable email, she does not get it! This is discrimination and we do work for a well known nationwide company. What is your input on this? I start boiling everytime I think about it!
