If a contract was made up and signed but one part of the contract is asking something that is illegal like, "you have to work for me for 6 years" (which I heard is beyond the length of time someone can legally be contracted to stay with an employer), then is the whole thing null in void? Or are the other parts and terms of the contract still inforcable by law? This contract in question was not looked at by a lawer before it was drawn up and signed.

The below link (to the BBC News website) reports an incident involving a Muslim dentist who allegedly told a non-practicing Mulsim woman that she should wear a headscarf before he would treat her. He also admitted to reducing treatment fees to encourage women to wear the headscarf during treatment because it is 'unlawful' for him to look on such women.

What, in the name of King Henry's arsehairs, is going on? Are we living in the 1600s? Surely if a person, regardless of their religion, takes on a professional role such as that of dentist / nurse / doctor, they should just do their job and not feel that their place of work is the place to spout or enforce their own (personal) religious views? Their work should be completely impartial and their only concern should be the welfare of the patient, whatever religion they adhere or do not adhere to.

Should we have laws preventing such behaviour?

well the topic is very shakey and very confusing about what happened on 911. after reports came out abotu what had happened there were experts who contradicted it sayign it was an inside job by the government.

as part of my homework for a school debate my question that i cant answer is why would they do it? for business $$$$$???

how has the US government profited from 911 like saying how much money have tey made in iraq afghanistan and stuff?

i would appreciate if the question was answered rather than ppl flocking to claim it wasnt an inside job. i dont care i just need logic rather than emotion thank you.

i have a debate tomorow and i need to know
1. why did tehy do it...was it for business$$$?
if so how have they profited and how much have they profited?

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." - Bill of Rights
What was the INTENT of the James Madison when he wrote these articles?
Originally our country was not a republic but a confederacy. This confederacy was exceptionally weak due to bickering between the states and the central governing body didn't have enough power to ensure the protection of the states. Therefore the Articles of Confederation were removed and the Constitution was created. The Bill of Rights was added on as to limit the power of the government.
Militias were initially bands of non-conscripted farmers, fighting on volunteer basis. These were the armies that fought and won the war for independence. They provided their own weapons when joining the fight. They were fighting against a real army.
So, a militiaman is a citizen, an arm is a weapon that is capable of defeating an army.
Please discuss!

I am looking into doing paintings in acrylic on canvas, based on (but not copies of) several video game characters. If I then put these paintings onto my website to sell, is this legal? Is there some sort of loophole I can dive through, if so?

Thank you.

There is this new BMW purchased about 11 weeks ago with no license plates front or back, and no papers in the front windshield. How can this person get away with driving a car like this without papers of some sort. Is 11 weeks without plates long?

I just started my sophomore year of college, and I still can't seem to stick to one major in particular. I want whatever I major in to be something that I enjoy, but also has a practical application OUTSIDE of prepping me for law school, "just in case."

So far I've either officially majored, or CONSIDERED majoring in:
-Philosophy with a concentration on law and ethics

-Psychology

-Communications with a concentration on human communication

-English with a concentration on teaching

and lastly

-Business (not sure if it would be management or administration, it just makes sense since i want to do corporate).

The problem is, I'm not sure that all of these would work, simply because I REALLY want to go to USC, and they like for their students to have courses on their transcripts that "require lots of critical thinking and research."

I know that Philosophy requires a TON of critical thinking, but I don't like it.

Can someone PLEASE help me????

My daughter was married March 25, 2007. Marriage soon ended in late April of 2007. She has been told that she can get an anulment but when she calls lawyers on this they say no she can't. Her husband was very posessive, verbally, and emotionally abusive towards her after they said I DO. She has been through a lot of trauma in her life with the most recent things being a rape in 2004 and victim of an armed robbery in 2006 which has left her with PTSD. He knew all of this before he married her and knew she could not work right now. But yet he used all of this against her due to insecurities he was left with from his 1st wife. He left her home in April and then returned to Michigan in August when he saved up the money to move. Can she get an anullment or not in SC? Even now he abuses and harasses her by phone and computer, calling ot emailing over 20 times a day and accusing her of finding someone else. She can not handle this for a year until they can file for divorce. Please help.

I don't mind a little kick...and I have a really good shot so I'm not worried about that. But I have small hands and I want an automatic...something that is small...and even if there is a bullet in the chamber that if I dropped the pin someone wouldn't be able to shot me with it if they got it from me. And something that will stop someone dead, litteraly, in their tracks. (Don't get me wrong I pray I never have to use it!)

And what do you think about the car?

There is a dispute at work between myself and 2 other managers. I went to executive level HR management and they said that no one is 100% right. They ran their investigation, and told me that they decided to transfer me. They did not ask me if I was comfortable with it. Is this legal? If I refuse to do it, can they terminate me? Should they have to compensate me for my additional mileage and driving time?
