Law & Ethics - September 2007

John Doe was convicted of a crime while traveling in another country. He had pleaded guilty and completed his short sentence in that country. Upon his return to the U.S., could he be tried for the same crime again because it was felt that the sentence was too lenient?

If there were no guns in the country, there would be few gun murders.
Two - Some guns would be smuggled into the country, but MOST criminals would not have guns. It is much harder to kill people with knives or your hands.
Three - If you have a gun, you are more likely to be killed by a gun. The criminal has to protect himself from you. The criminal will usually catch you by surprise, and your gun will not protect you.
Four - Jesus Christ would never carry a gun. Don't tell me someone wants to argue that pointl. How can Christians pretend to follow Jesus and own guns?
Five - Jesus suggested turning the other cheek, not blasting the other person with a gun.
Six - Shooting someone with a gun is cowardly. Why do Christians want to be cowards?
Seven - The second amendment was written by a human who had some fears after the war with the British. Why should we want to live in fear today? A gun is like alcohol, false courage, because the criminal shoots first!

I was on maternity leave from my job Jan-March 2007. I work in an upscale chain restaurant where I waitress and bartend. I have worked there 5 years. While on leave, a position was "created" for another server/bartender--a "head bartender" position, in which she gets paid $8 per hour, as compared to my $2.83 or $4 when I bartend. This position never existed in our restaurant, and I have been there 1 year longer, also worked full-time all 5 years, and am a star employee. Can I sue? The mother-company is a very large, high-profile restaurant corporation.

Get this: Monsanto plants experimental crops. They own farmland in close enough proximity to other people's farms, so that when the wind blows hard enough to cross pollenate the crops of other farmers with their experimental crops, they then take the other farmers to court, keep them in litigation for long periods of time, and end up taking their land. This happens SO OFTEN that there is a special HOTLINE set up for them to file cases against the smaller farmers !! And the courts ALWAYS find in favor of Monsanto ! Just another friendly Globalist-owned company that manipulates the system for their own gain. They destroy lives in the name of money.

I got a speeding ticket the other day for 50 in a 35. I dont really know if I was speeding but I did just come off the highway and it is most likely accurate. I thought I was being pulled for no seatbelt but he didnt mention that.

When he brought me the ticket back there was a huge mistake that he did not notice. I was driving a totally different vehicle than what is on the ticket. The ticket says I was driving my 92 Ford Ranger and I was actually in a 2007 Nissan Frontier. It was a mixup from trying to transfer tags when I bought it... but he didnt notice.

Does anyone know from experience, real reasons that a speeding ticket can be dropped in court w/o hiring a lawyer.

If you only want to tell me to not speed in the first place... save your time and dont respond. I only want real answers here.

Thanks... leadfoot

TN is an "At Will" state and as I understand it, an employee can be fired for no reason at all. Punitave action was taken agains me to an highly excessive extent to what the usuall punishment has been for other employees who comitted similar or worse actions. If I was fired without due cause, despite the allagations made against me in an "At Will" state, what can I do? Can the State or Federal EEOC, State Civil Court, or Federal Civil Courts do anything in my situation?

This has something to do with the Ving Rhames case. I know that the guy was a caretaker, but I was just wondering if he was a burglar, could the burglar's family sue the householder ? Personally, I don't think the householder should be held accountable, its no different than shooting a burglar breaking into your house. What do you think? Have any of you heard any cases where the owner's dog killed a burglar?

... or did you just watch the news?

The guy was acquitted for a reason, and it was not race.

If you watched the trial you know evidence was planted.

You know...

Van Atter and Furhman lied, by their own testimony, from the very beginning.

they were followed to the crime scene carrying evidence collected at Simpson's home.

the famous socks were mysteriously missing from the numbered and ordered pictures taken on scene.

witnesses were intimidated.

ice cream Nicole was eating had not melted before the police arrived, an impossibility if Simpson did it.

the LA crime lab claimed human beings have a blood preservative in our blood.

blood samples miraculously appeared six weeks after the crime scene was washed, in places crime scene photos clearly show no blood.

If you did not watch the trial, you do not know this because the media simply failed to report these little details.

I doubt Simpson did what he was accused of, perhaps he did, but I KNOW police framed him.
