Law & Ethics - September 2007

I work as a dishwasher in a family-owned pizza restaraunt. One of my coworkers wiped a cut with a rag, getting a significant amount of blood on the rag. I have half a dozen rags go my way a day, so I picked it up before I see blood on it and get blood in an open cut. I washed my hands within about a minute of the incident, and within three days I went to the doctor. They ran some blood tests for legal purposes (to show I have no blood transmitted disease before this point) but until January I won't be able to run a test that will have conclusive results.

Now, my coworker refuses to get tested under any circumstances. My boss made no disciplinary action, and absolutely refuses to pay for medical bills under South Carolina guidelines as he is required to. Now, my insurance company is pressing the issue since it was a work-related incident and is probably going to refuse the claim.

Today I was driving on road where construction is going to convert this road with signals to highway. Posted speed limit is 45. I was driving in 50 - 55 speed in left lane with cars ahead of me also driving same speed. Then I saw white car standing in shoulder( This was police car. With no sign that it was police car.) I thought in my mind maybe this car wants to merge on the road. There was no car behind me. So I thought maybe if I went into right lane he will be able to merge. There was truck in right lane driving at 40/45 so I thought to overtake it from left lane & increased speed. & Police cought me. I know & God knows I was trying to help somebody to get merged on road. When he was writing down my ticket another cop came to chat with him & both were talking there. I am just feeling these cops or system expects everybody to be so perfect does anybody like that exists. Don't these cops do something wrong (like this cop was talking on duty & wasting my time.) maybe cheat spouse ...

Conversation 1 (After interviewing a male candidate)
VP:He's really quite hotshot. i was really impressed with his resume and qualifications. i hope you're not offended,Jones, that he's a man and all, but u know, i think men are better suited for the sales and marketing position.
Jones:what does being a man have to do with this? why don't you think a women could do just as good as a job?
VP:Well i think that male sales director are better able to handle the pressures from diffrent constituents. Sometimes they have to be a little more aggressive and forceful in their dealings.

Conversations 2 (after interviewing a female candidate)
VP:i like her qualifications she seems very competent, but we're not hire her. keep her resume in file,through she's mt type.
Jones:what do you mean?
VP:well she is blond,which i personally like, and more mature.with older woman you don't have to deal with all the problems, like pregnancy and family,that younger women have.

Obviously the kid was asking for it. But it should have never progressed that far. If he were asking Dick Cheney, Mitt Romney, or John McCain a tough question he'd have been allowed to finish his question. But no liberal college is about to give freedom of speech rights to a student asking a Democrat tough questions. No brainer.

I am living next door to a lady who has been evicted several times and is causing all sorts of problems with all the other tenants (pepper spraying tenants, following, etc.). She will not leave b/c she keeps filing for extentions. My landlord went to court for all this and now she has til the 30th at 5pm to be out or the Sheriff will be here to physically remove her from the building. Or so I have been told. I am now hearing that if she doesnt leave there is nothing we can do. I am wanting written proof that this psycho is going to be out! I do not want to have to move b/c I am paying dirt cheap rent for the size of apt. that I am in and if I would move I would be paying double. If I call the police station or courthouse, what all can I get copies of?

I agree that there may be some white racist idiots over there, but why should these teens get off just becaue they are black?
The case needs to be tried in a different location to eliminate the racial and sensational element, and the black teens should pay the price for what they have done. a whole gang against one kid? Thats pretty low.

I have just read an answer from a certain Mr m4rkowen, and it raised a question that I have pondered over for a long time now....

Why on earth do we all have to work 9-5???

Ok, not all, but that is still typical office hours. Nearly all offices run at some time between 8 and 6pm, meaning everybody is on the road at the same time, to take a doctors appointment means time off work (costing the economy) and its tricky for some to pick up the kids from school.

Would it not make sense for working hours to be staggered between different workplaces? After all, most business to business requires admin time, this could be done when the other side has gone home or before they arrive to work and vice versa.

We live in a global economy and I cant see the UK shutting down overnight from this, after all we can currently do business with anyone from a one hour to a 12 hour time difference.

9-5 is sooooooo 20th Century! Would another way work?

We received a letter on our door stating that a sex offender lives in the complex. They state he will be gone in 48 hours. I signed a lease that states:
"I am entitled to peacefully and quietly enjoy my apartment."

Can I break my lease without penalty? I have 3 kids and am now worried that the complexes screening process will let these offenders in.

Back in 1988 on up to 1992 I was on probation for working while I was on welfare. I had one of those on-call jobs where they called you whenever they needed you for a project and the project would last a couple of weeks then you may not get called again for as long as 1-2 weeks. I only worked with them for 6 months and made only 9 bucks more then then what they call a misdeamenor. So it comes up as felony. When my record is checked it comes up Welfare fraud and felony and even after over 10 years with nothing else on my record, nobody will touch me with a 10 foot pole. Cannot get a decent job, I have a degree and can't do nothing with it...cannot move into a decent apartment. Just wondering how anybody in my similar position is surviving. Getting tired of getting run out of jobs or turned away all the time.

Some white kids hung some 6 inch nooses in a tree...they were suspended..of course they were I would have suspened them as well...should they go to prision for LIFE...common sense say's hell no. Then we have a white kid beaten nearly to death by black kids....this is simple folks...can we get REAL...Prosecute them to the fullest EXTENT of the law and as adults. Let's make this simple: Kids hanging little strings in a tree=Quilty=Suspension!!! Beat another kid nearly to Death=Prosecution=Serious Jail time!!!

I have a problem with the fact that my daughter was physically and verbally attacked by a very large black woman at her job. This woman was probably three to four times the size of my daughter and every time she worked with my daughter, she went out of her way to harm my daughter. There was no manager at the company at the time so I reported it to corporate and they sent some one out to talk to my daughter and others that saw her do this, yet this woman was only given a warning, I am very angry because my daughter quit her job because she no longer felt safe there, and the company did nothing to protect her. I think that the only reason this woman got by with treating my daughter so poorly is because she is black. That really pisses me off that she was not repremanded even when everyone told corperate how vicious she was.Should we sue her and the company?? BCBG Maxeria

I have a contract on a home and we're supposed to close in one week. My boyfriend and I are both on the mortgage loan. I tried to get the mortgage broker to switch it to just be in my boyfriend's name, without me involved. Well, he dragged his feet and today told me to do so would take another 21 days which would put us behind on closing and my bf is pressuring me to get over it so we don't have to postpone. So, My question is, if I am on this joint mortgage loan with my bf, and something bad happens between us and I want out of the relationship, what can I do. I've heard I can have my name removed from the loan so that the lender can never come after me for funds in the future? is this true? Is it expensive/complicated? Or is the only option to refinance the mortgage just in his name? What is the process for this? Thanks for any help. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. Want to know my options should something go wrong with us... Thanks :)

Criminal informant (ratting)?

My brother has been given an opportunity by the police to have all his charges dropped if he becomes an informant. He was going to be charged with possession and intent to sell.

However, after discussing with an attorney, we are told that charges are usually not completely dropped. In fact, they told us that the police has no jurisdiction in dropping charges. Only the Judge can do that.

Who is telling the truth?
