Law & Ethics - October 2007

Say I craeted a website, published everything gossip on it, like who kissed who, who is a b*itch, who is going out with who, from home on my computer. And if it hurt someone, and they called there parents called the school and complained, would I get in trouble. Could they legally be able to punish/suspend me for posting this site. Is it free speech, or could they punish me for bullying? Should they suspend me, or direct it to teh attention of my parents? What do you think?


*This did not or will not happen to me, just inquiring about another incident.

For example, is it right for people like Britney Spears & K-Fed to become parents when it is so painfully obvious that they can barely take care of themselves?

And for normal Americans the test would be quite easy (like passing your drivers license test at the DMV). They'd only have to take it once & then they could have as many kids as they want. But a test would also weed out people who obviously have no right to have children & keep those reject parents from creating reject kids with their terrible parenting skills.

...Or does space have no legal jurisdiction and ownership over any country and thus be open and free for any use that a country see's fit to be in the best interest of its security.

President Bush signed an order last year tacitly asserting the U.S. right to space weapons and opposing the development of treaties or other measures restricting them.

Tensions between Russia and Washington have deepened over U.S. plans to rekindle the stalled "Star Wars" program from the 1980s with a new generation of missile defense shields.

Somebody calls me couple times a day for a month. They are looking for person that has same last name as me. I already told that I don't know him. When I googled his name i find out that he worked in a bank in 2004. What if he stole someone's money? They don't tell why do they need him and who they are. Are they criminals and did he stole from them? What do I do?

I have made previous posts so all you have to do is read my earlier question for a briefing on this subject. However in short, I went AWOL from the army 3 years ago. I was only in the army for about 5 months I never made it to my unit. Since then I have regretted my decision but I have had to live with it. I am constantly depressed even though I have terrific friends and family around me and a good job. During these 3 years of being awol or whatever I have been pulled over and ticketed had to go to court. I have bought a house, filed taxes, paid off the 800 dollar debt that I owed the govt for paying me after I left the army. So after recieving a lot of helpful answers these past 3 days I called the GI Rights hotline today, and then called the army deserter line. The E-4 specialist told me that when he entered me into the computer that there was no felony or warrant out for me??? He said that when he searched for me using the web locator of the armys that I come up seperated 2004???

In my town there was just a horrible house fire....supposedly a 10 year old boy set a fire..."it was intentionally set but the outcome was not"...resulting in 3 children(mother is still alive, childless) and his own mother and sister dying in it. He was in a house of "supposed" drug addicts and his father just died in July from full blown aids...They are trying him with 5 counts of murder and 1 count of aggrevated arson...my question is what do you think his punishment should be? Keep in mind he is 10 and most of us has been curious about fire when we were younger...

I was just wondering, since my school is charging $1 for a temporary ID (valid for that day only) AND for the first offense you get lunch detention; second a referral, etc. And for a NEW ID it is 5 dollars.

Isnt there some law about it being unlawful for the school to charge students for something that they require you to have?

and I dont expect you to agree with me. But enough with the Diana conspiracy theories already.

Do you think if you thought someone was trying to kill you by faking a car accident you might have put your seatbelt on?

I admit I think the Royal family are totally outdated concept and am frankly embarassed at the bowing and scraping. Doesnt mean I wish them dead, of course I dont', I don't wish anyone dead. I think we need to move one from the sovereignty idea but I digress.

So my question is: Diana - no seatbelt died in a car wreck that should may have survived if she wore one. Therefore unless MI6 or 5 removed her seatbelt it had to be an accident and we should leave it be and get over it. Yes or no?

The ACLU has filed lawsuit in the state of Hawaii to prevent the state from random drug testing of teachers. Their main arguement is that Drug testing of employees is unconstitutional. The history behind this requirement is that 4 staff members (3 Teachers and a Principal) were arrested last school year on drug related charges, possesion and possesion with intent to distribute. This inclusion of random drug testing in the new teachers union contract was voted on and agreed to by the teachers union, so why does the ACLU feel that it should argue against random drug testing for teachers? Do you agree that teachers that teach in public schools should be drug tested? I DO.

I recently applied for a position with another company. The direct hiring manager knew that my current employer was unaware of my search. I would have given notice of course. In any event, the Executive Director ran into our Chief Operating Officer at a conference and mentioned that I was applying for a position within their company. The position had not been formally offered to me and I had not yet authorized this new company to contact my current employer.

Is this not a violation of my privacy rights? Should this not be kept quiet until I give authorization to contact references and then, shouldn't only those that I list as references be contacted and/or HR Department?

I wanted to speak to my current supervisor once the position was formally offered to me BEFORE reference checks were done. This could have created a very bad situation for me, but luckily it did not.

In any event, I cannot help that my rights were violated. Am I correct or incorrect?

I interviewed someone today that was qualified for the position, but they reeked of cigarette smoke and I prefer to work with non-smokers. I feel that smokers waste a lot of time on cigarette breaks and I would prefer not to smell it on their clothes all day since I will be working closly with this person. Is there anything leagal to take into consideration here. Although he reeked of smoke, he was well dressed professionally and seemed clean. He must have smoked right before he came in or something.

A coworker of mine mentioned today that there is no law on the books that require that you to have an identification card of some kind on you in California. He went on to add that if a police officer asks you for ID that you can refuse and that he has to get a "bench warrant" to proceed further, or let you go. This guy is notorious for suggesting such things (not to mention, the source of all sorts of conspiracy theories/urban legends that are true/etc.).

Does anyone know if this is true and, if so, where I could find it online to shut this guy up?

Thanks in advance.

I am just a very simple person. I do not know much about law. If I make a "contract" that states simply:
"(Person's name) borrowed money on this date, 10-03-08, and has promised to repay entire amount by 11-3-08"

My name, his name and a witnesses name will be signed on the contract.

Can this be a legally binding contract or not? Can only lawyers/attorneys create legally binding contracts?
What can I do to make it as legal as possible?
