Law & Ethics - May 2007

My quiestion is regarding the debate regarding lowering the drinking age to 18....I like how this comedian put it....Many people argue "If an 18 year old is regarded as an adult in all other aspects...and they can go to war and die for thier country then,why cant they have a beer??......Well youve got it all wrong...If an 18 year old girl can star in a porno and get her face cu**ed all over by a 40 yr old man...then why cant she be old enough to have a beer???...I think that is a valid point....Dont you??

The worst part is the cleaners had offered to reimburse the judge for his "missing pants" and later, when they found it decided to return the pants instead of paying $1000 - now what happens next - the judge still decides to sue them and rob them of their lifetime of savings - not just that they could be able to afford this huge lawsuit but imagine, it must have simply wrecked their family apart!

Beats it - I came to America, worked for 7 years - earned a lot of money but then, screwed a pair of pants and lost everything I ever earned.

Bankrupt for eternity.

My husband Travis was in a fight where another person threatened to kill me and my unborn child, which caused Travis to fly into a blind rage and do some damage to the person's property. Can he plead temporary insanity for that?

The British empire and it's meddlings in other nations affairs is the reason we have so many problems today..

1)In the Middel East..it changed borders which are still fought over today, and disposed the only democratic govt in Iran just so it can get cheap oil.
2)Africa..has still not recovered from being colonised and raped by the British.
3)The patition of India and millions of Hindus and Muslims you died because of that was the British fault.



The USA hasn't even cause a fraction of the damage that Britain has..but they people won't shut up about American imperialism. Why don't people mention British imperialism.

This lawsuit has been up since 2005, Roy Pearson has been abusing his law licence and his position as judge. How much further is our Judicial System going to fall. A responsibility for a judge is to be fair. And this ABUSIVE lawsuit is not right. Laws shoulds be set-up to prevent this from happening. The dry cleaners lost his pants and he wanted the cleaners to pay the FULL price for the suit but they refused to. They have found the pants a week later but Pearson still wants the cleaners to pay because of this so called "consumer fraud." He then filed lawsuit again them. Then the cleaners proposed a amount of money to him, but he refused. He still refuses to take the pants because he is childish and there are a lot of people out there that are supporting the Chungs(Dry Cleaners) than there are people supporting Roy Pearson. His appointment as a judge expired yesterday and the ATRA wrote a letter to the people who were in charge of reappointing him. Please post your opinion on here. =)

Someone at my school started a rumour that i said i was going to bring a gun to school, i didn't say this but they had to invistigate. They did, and said that they belived me, and told me i wasn't going to be punished, because they knew it was just some stupid rumour. They decied it would be best for me to stay at home for the rest of the year,"homebound." i wasn't complaining, a free vacation, and i would still get homework and grades. But then they went back on their word and said i had to either be suspeneded and bring my case before the school board or i can go to ADT(Adolescent Day Treatment). They send juvienile deliquents there. So of course i went to ADT, if i got suspended i would fail the school year. But my class is full of pregnant girls and crimanals. They said i wasnt getting in trobule, but i have to be sent to a school for tennage crimnals? do i need a lawyer?

The officer stopped the lady because she was going 30 mph over the limit. She then took off and was pulled out of her car and arrested and taken to jail. The officer was suspended w/o pay for a week.

I totally agree with the officers actions.
Are we to just let people disregard the law and perhaps create another accident or fatality resulting in disobeying the law?

Her father is having a heart attack and she wants to be there.
What is she going to do? Except cause a scene?
Is there something that she was going to say to him that she could not have said before?
Do we let dramaticism overrule the law?
Is it everybody elses fault for her actions?

The father did recover from the heart attack.

3 violations for saying I do not know. These are their community guidelines, terms of service? Theyre tring to keep a safe community and publish some questions that are porn. I want to know why "I do not know is a violation".They say to email them if you object to the violation but you never hear from them. That's because they don't know what to say.They write some really rauchy stuff and send the decent people violations. I know other people have received them too. Can't we do something about them? Thanks for letting me vent!!

I've had this lawyer for years and have always been satisfied with her work, but lately it seems as if her head isn't screwed on properly. She was okay until she got married and started having kids. She is supposed to be helping me with my parent's estates that have to be probated, so I brought all the documents she requested. Weeks passed and I heard nothing. Finally I called her. A few days later she returned my call and informed me that she just hasn't gotten around to submitting it to probate. I let it ride a few more weeks and contacted her again, A week passed and she phoned me. Now the story is that somehow she misplaced the documents and I'd have to pay her to go up to the county seat and request duplicates. I'm really getting fed up with this B.S. She doesn't seem to keep any regular office hours and is slow in returning calls. I'd go to another lawyer, but I have no documents now and she's the only attorney in town that handles estates. Any suggestions?

Can you believe this story - is this misuse of your powers in office???
WASHINGTON - The Chungs, immigrants from South Korea, realized their American dream when they opened their dry-cleaning business seven years ago in the nation's capital. For the past two years, however, they've been dealing with the nightmare of litigation: a $65 million lawsuit over a pair of missing pants.
But the bulk of the $65 million comes from Pearson's strict interpretation of D.C.'s consumer protection law, which fines violators $1,500 per violation, per day. According to court papers, Pearson added up 12 violations over 1,200 days, and then multiplied that by three defendants.

Much of Pearson's case rests on two signs that Custom Cleaners once had on its walls: "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Same Day Service."

What are your opinions????

We took a 4 day trip by car. My husband takes 9 different medications. I have one of those weekly pill boxes. Instead of taking all the bottles , I took the box, as it is easier to fill them by the week as he takes them several times a day. I was told it is illegal to carry meds this way. I just thought it would be easier than carrying all the bottles and trying to remember when he needed to take his meds. If you do not carry the bottles, can you just make a copy of the scripts?
