Law & Ethics - October 2007

I was at a party in Utah a year ago, and the cops came in cause someone let them in. So I was in the back, with no alc in hand. They still gave everyone in the party breathalyzers and got a ticket. Could I have said NO?

The national highway act of 1984 states that states are complied to raise the drinking age to 21 or the state will get 10% cut from their annual federal highway funds. To me, this is against the 10th and 21st amendment. Because of one group, MADD, who is trying to prohibit every single alcohol. I think we should repeal this law and create another amendment of maintaining the age of 18 or better yet make a consitutional amendment. Take for example that the legal limit for BAC is .08% while for under 21 is .01%. This is ridiculous. Please send you thoughts out.

I bought a Maytag washer & dryer from craigslist.org.
I learned my lesson. I will never do that again.
I bought them for $650.... thinking I got a good deal.
But I was stupid and believed the washer worked. I asked them many times if it worked. The humble couple said they were almost new.
I bought them 6 months ago. And I just connected them today. I waited till my dad came back from vacation. Because I don't know how to connect any appliance.
So the washer didn't turn on. I called a repair man, and he said the computer on it was burned out.
I feel so stupid now.
I printed out all the emails we sent to each other.
So what can I do? Can I take her to small claims if they don't give me my money back????? I live in Illinois.

They can commit crimes and escape. They cannot be arrested or even given a ticket.. Why must they have Diplomatic Immunity? I think it is impunity.

I decided to get up the nerve and file for a restraining order against my crazy ex-boyfriend; it took me awhile to go through with it. I wasn't granted the restraining order but assigned a hearing with me and my ex-boyfriend. I can't do it. I'm an emotional wreck and there is no chance I can go through with this. Anyone in the court sytem who may have an idea as to what I can possibly do to avoid this?

Heres the deal. I had a part time job. The manager is extrememly rude and "rubs" my shoulders everytime he is around. I stopped going to work and was very "bugged" about this. They fired me after not showing up the 2nd day.

I don't want to file anything .. i don't want to see these people again.

Am i able to collect unemployment until i get hired on somewhere else?

If you're from Michigan and a 15 year old and a 17 year old kiss.. is that considered rape on the 17 year old's part? What if the 15 year old gave consent, what if they did things but not sex? Could the 17 year old get in trouble? Please let me know, what is considered illegal as in minor sexual acts...etc.. I know that a 16 year old is the legal age for sex, but a 17 year old is still a minor, so would anything be considered illegal? PLease give me lots of details on these questions +more! thank you..

So I'm watching t.v., and they are discussing paternity fraud. Basically when someone has an affair and the other party is unknowing and then they are forced to pay child support. They are discussing two sides. This man unknowingly raised another man's child for 10 years and then they got divorced. It was brought to his attention that the child might now be his. He got a paternity test and the child was not his. Yet the courts basically said that he had already started raising the child so he needed to finish and keep paying child support. The didn't suggest that the woman find the real father. I don't think that a man should have to continue to pay child support for a child that is not his. If he voluntarily does it, that a different story. But why should he have to pay for the other party's deceit? Why should he have to raise another man's child? What is your point of view?

What's so immoral about a one-night-stand if all participants (polite way of putting it), are consensual and fully aware of what they're doing, i.e. not drunk or whatever. And, if you think it isn't 'immoral' then why doesn't anyone ever want to admit it in front of the 'public-eye'? Isn't it just a personal decision as we all occupy our own body's and no-one should have the right to condemn another?

Sorry so many questions have been rolled into one.
