Law & Ethics - June 2007

from their job and the disgruntled employer was paying them a regular standard pay and paying them in other ways i.e. :backdoor/ under the table. For similar work of another bussiness owned by this same employer, as he did for other employees i.e.: paying credit accts not associated with the bussiness, cell phone bills, allowing company fuel cards to be used for personal recreation,etc. just to name a few.
Now he is claiming my friend had frauded the company and is sueing for repayment of these wages over the last 10 years.this employer has practiced this type of wage paying for more than 30 years, my friend was employed for 24 years. Im sure that my friend has dirt on the company i.e.: storing of goods illegaly, abuse, discrimination, lying to IRS and revenue canada, and more. Is there anything my friend can do to deter such action in/out of court or even anything that maybe bends but not breaks the string of law?

Legislate against abortion. Legislate against gay marriage. Legislate against stem cell research. Appoint judges whose agenda and decisions are entirely predictable and convince yourself that you believe in limited government so long as you are free to limit others constitutional or God given rights. Those are some of the tenets of limited government. Only fools will believe you limit government by intruding on and trampling others' rights.

America is big on Equal Rights, as they should be. Explain to me how THIS is equal-
When a woman gets pregnant women have the right to choose life, abortion, or adoption. A woman can keep her baby, kill her baby, or even leave her baby abandoned in the hospital or in a church and not be procecuted. In the case of adoption, giving up all of their parental rights without thought of responsibility to their child, they are even praised for "giving the child a better life" with another family.
When a woman gets pregnant a man has NO CHOICES. He doesn't get to decide if he wants to keep the baby or sign his rights away [I am NOT saying he should have the right to force an abortion]. If he decides he is not ready for his responsibility [like women who leave their child with the hospital/church, or through adoption] he is a "deadbeat", and is then hunted by DCS and/or the police.
How can this duplicity exist in a society who values "equal rights"?

My grandma put in deposit for an apartment, she was suppose to move in but the manager did not finish fixing the place so the move in date was push back. During that time, another complex for low incomes had a vacant apartment and gave her the offer. The rent was cheaper and the place was better so she decided to take this one instead. She did call and tell the manager of the place she deposit to rent the place out. Can she get back all or part of her deposits?

Frankly, I don't appreciate having to wait on line - sometimes 5 minutes or more = to have the security guard mark my receipt as a requirement to exit the store, after I have completed and paid for my purchase. I'm monitored by cameras and personnel within the store. Why should I be expected to expend more minutes of my limited lifespan to prove I in fact paid for my purchase? Perhaps I'm mistaken or sensitive, but, is the onus on me to prove I've paid for my items in order to exit the store? Please help me understand. Do we (customers) have a legal, moral or ethical obligation to wait on line at the exit, after waiting in line at the register, after waiting in the lot for a parking space? Can someone please help me to put this into perspective, because I seem to be losing minutes of my life, several times a day unnecessarily inconvienenced. Understand the only reason I enter these stores is to make purchases e.g. spend money. So I find this practice particularly annoying.

What right does a judge have to decide what is in the "best interest of the child" when both parents are fit? I mean I can understand if a parent is really unfit, like very heavy into meth and such, but I have seen children sad and so upset because they wanted to live with one parent but the judge decides who they live with. Why don't they let children speak up? I know teenage run aways because of this situation. In fact I know a kid right now who just ran away and went to live with his dad because some know it all judge decided it was "the best interest of the child" to live with his mother. Well, the mother ended her job after she got him and lived off a small settlement from workers comp and is now on welfare and getting child support and her son was just a meal ticket. She is now trying to figure out what she will do with this sudden income loss. Obviously this was not in the best interest of the child! His father has been great for him. Why won't judges let children decide?

The daughter lives with her grandmother for her whole life--7 months.

The grandmother pretends she owns the daughter, and threatens if we take her that she will fight us in court-

-see the reasons in my other question--http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar5qtk6R1HRJjSUOU5Iqyjvsy6IX?qid=20070623014412AAfCehF

Normally, if we fought for custody, the mother could claim we were unfit parents. However we could argue that we'll just make another baby, and it's impossible for all of the next ones to be handled by the grandmother--and I doubt the grandmother actually "doesnt want us to have a child" as she just wants our first one that she is close to.

What would a judge do? Would he award my mother-in-law the first baby and imply for us to make another? Or would he let our baby stay ours and we have the rights to our child (as we presently do).

We have had not had our kid taken away ever--we just let her have her, assuming we'll take her back in a couple years.

Suppose you or a loved one was sick or injured and needed an ambulance, they show up, treat you or them on scene, then transport them to the hospital. You find that the EMT's and/or Paramedics saved your ( or your loved ones) life. You are extremily grateful for their effort, right? Now lets say that you find out that the EMT or Paramedic was a convicted sex offender who had served their time in prison and been allowed to recieve his or her license. This person went through all the appeals processes with the state and was granted the right to go to the school, graduated, and was fully licensed by your state. Would you still be grateful for their help?

In my own opinion I believe that the legal age for many things is wrong.

Such as, someone who is 16 is able to have sex, but that person is not able to watch pornographic movies until they are 18. That means they are able to risk STDs and becoming pregnant at the age of just 16, but they are unable to pleasure themselves using visual aid.

It's not just sex. You are able to drive when you reach the age of 15 (in New Zealand) but you are unable to vote in a general election until you're 18. So, you can go out drive a car, put others and yourself at risk, but you can't have 1 say in how the country is run.

Also, at the age of 16, you are able to buy a knife or a gun, but you can't buy alcohol until you are 18 (in New Zealand and 21 in the USA). So you are allowed to have a lethal weapon but you aren't allowed to go out and have a good night with your friends drinking alcohol?


Please explain...

I was hoping maybe a lawyer might be able to help. My bf and I rented for an apartment in a 100 year old house for a year. We moved out on May 28th and just got our security deposit back. But instead of the 810$ we had put down, they with held 500$ to get estimates on a new tile floor (which they said was discolored). It was not, but stupid us, we didn't take pictures (we learned the hard way). To add to all of this, they were out of town when the apt switched over to the new tenant and we had to do our moving out inspection with the new tenant (he said everything looked fine). In the letter we just received, apparently the landlords did a walk through on the 19th of this month (27 days after we moved out and the new guy was living in the apt. the whole time!)There are now lists of charges like a crack in a step and a plaster crack in the wall. Are we liable and do they have the right to keep this money if they waited to do the inspection until after someone else was living there?
