Law & Ethics - July 2007

My son is a paraplegic and they give him a medication with THC in it to give him an appetite. They said if marijuana was legal he could just smoke that. (the Doctor said it jokingly of course). But I thought, why not let the American farmers grow it, so America can reap the profits.

I was taught in school that the Government was there to govern and uphold the law, It seem now days they have made for them selves job security by turning the police,courts, protective services and counceling incuding Domestic violence into a corupt money ring so the can get big money for each other and nobody is the wiser as to how the public is being manipulated. They call them serious crimes but that is only fluffed up version to make themselves Justified in raping the public, People loose their home family and jobs and cannot say anything about it, the plea bargan thing is mocking the law and is used as a tool to create money. You really are guilty before innocent as long as they can get a cop to say you are guilty and you refuse to plea bargan. It's Big Money loop hole the public has to pay so that this money ring has a high paying jobs. What can be done, Really!!

Like your own driveway as long as your not on the road and your yard and fields etc...

Also, even if it's not how would they tell if you were drunk or not since they can't come on your land without a warrant.

If they vote like they did the last time a major government official actually and knowingly lied then they will say, "forget it. lying is no big deal"

Remeber Bill? Oh but he was a Democrat wasn't he. And that makes it OK. Poor Gonzales is a Republican so Democrats will want to hang him.

I'm curious and I would like to know. I helped someone with the downpayment for a car, I asked for a loan to helped this person. I was promised I was going to be payed back (it was an exgirlfriend), I was never paid. I don't like the idea of going to court because I always thought people I trust was trustable. I don't know what my ex is thinking but whatever she thinks, is not paying anything. I wonder what the bible says, we should forgive and let it go, or go to a judge?

I was charged, and pleaded "no contest" to OWI. When I look at my record online, it says that the action was "dismissed". It also notes that "All charges against (my name) in this case have been dismissed. These charges were not proven and have no legal effect. (my name) is presumed innocent."
Was I convicted? Do I have to say that I've been convicted on job applications? i was never read my "rights". was I even arrested?
Thanks for your help.

It would seem only logical that a person that is pro-life (on the grounds that human life is inherently sacred) would also oppose the death penalty for the same reasons. it also seems only logical that a person that is pro-choice would not necessarily find the death penalty abhorrent, however, many conservatives support the death penalty and are against abortion and many liberals are against the death penalty but pro-choice.

If you are both pro-life/pro-death penalty or pro-choice/anti-death penalty I would be interested in how you are able to simultaneously hold these two apparently contradictory positions.

If someone hired a lawyer to request a DNA paternity test, will it cost the petitioner more money to take it to court and get a court order if the person will not submit to one? Is there usually a "set fee" for the process either way or is it more to take things to court? I have an abusive ex who has been harassing me to take a DNA test. He knows it's not his but is just trying to get me upset because he gets no reaction from me otherwise. And I know it would be easier to just give in because I know it's not his...But I don't think that he deserves the easy way out of this. Serious answers only please. And yes, I am aware of the fact that I will have to submit to one if he gets a court order. I just want to know if dragging this out will cost him more? For getting a pregnant woman this upset he deserves it!

For a school to force a manditory dress code [polos, tucked in, collared shirts, no hoodies, no sweatshirts, no teeshirts, and only jeans and khaki style pants..] and FORCE US TO PAY FOR IT. Some of us cant afford buying brand new wardrobes of only collared shirts, and jeans.. I dont think it is right and I hate it. Where are my rights of individuality?!

A little over a month ago I had a serious injury resulting in having 2 metal plates put in my face. It was an assault that was a direct result of something that happened from my work. I had 4 weeks off for the surgery and recovery and went back to work on the 5th of July.

One day at work I had to leave to go to the hospital to get another CT scan done and had the paperwork to show that I was there. Another night when work was slow, I asked if I could leave, having not been feeling well from my pain medicine.

This past Monday night, another manager asked if I wanted to leave because it was slow. She had no idea if I wasnt feeling well. Just wanted to send me home if I wanted to go. I decided sure since it was my first day without pain medicine and was once again feeling crappy.

Today I have to go in to speak to my big boss. I have a strong feeling she is going to demote me because of time missed.

Can she legally do this and is there any recourse I can take if she does this?

I'm not trying to "score points" for either side. I'm just wondering what people think.

Is the subject matter of the lie what's important? Lying about your golf score, for example, versus lying about a stock fraud scheme that affects thousands?

Or is it the lengths one goes to lie? For instance, compare merely claiming to "forget" a conversation about the stock fraud, versus demonstrably falsifying one's golf scores at the club and asking several of your golf buddies to lie for you. (Assume, for argument's sake, that there was a valid million dollar bet that was in court, and therefore the score was important.)

Seriously, which bothers you more?

I'm not sure I know the answer myself!

Thanks. :)

He got blamed for the bullet hole in the ceiling which the suicide attempter put there in the struggle. The guy also said my brother came in with a gun and tried to kill him. My brother took the guns away and held them for a day. The guy then came and moved the guns to another man's home. My brother is being charged with removal of evidence from the crime scene. He might even be charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Point is, he's being blamed for something he didn't do. Is that justice?

My friends and i were parked on the side of a road smoking some pot. Constables got a call that our car was suspicious. They went and told us to get out of the car one by one. Then they Continued to search the car finding just a bit of marijuana left.

Could they have searched the car without our permission. It was in Harris County, Houston Texas.

Thank you.

I'm torn, I just found out that my unemployment claim was denied. There is no real reason for it. I worked at a company and witnessed unethical behavior going on, coworker not being productive, unethical (taking sales that weren't theirs) coming in late and consistent absences, this went on for months,I put my two weeks in because I had enough, an internal investigation was done on this person and it showed that they were in deed not being productive and doing the things listed, I was than offered another position and higher pay, I stayed thinking that things would change but nothing did my "new position" was still in the same area and it seemed as if I was doing the work for this unethical coworker entering orders and stuff for them,it got worse so I just up and left, this time not putting my two weeks in, i was TOLD there would be changes and this person would be gone. After a few weeks I wrote a letter to the president and this person was fired, I think that qualifies for unemp.
