Law & Ethics - October 2007

A friend of my mom's loaned me or gave me money to help me out of a situation about 1 year ago. Since then my mom broke up with him and now he is demanding his money back. However, there was nothing put in writing, no terms or time to pay it back and he has no record of how much he even gave me because it was all given in cash. Could he successfully sue me for what he thinks I owe him?

Well, heres some more background. He has an anger problem. He went as far as threatening to kill me and actually told my mom that over the phone. She filed a police report for a threat on my life. He has also threatened to tell her best friends husband that her best friend had an affair that her husband doesnt know about. He also went to my ex-wife and said all kinds of slanderous things about me, my mom, my sister, and my dad. He is constantly harrasing everyone for money that at one time he gave freely and now has flipped . Would that change anyones answer??

I posted an ad online that I wanted to meet a guy. Got tons of replies. So I finally chose one that I will go to, but I'm a little bit scared. I mean I don't want to get in trouble with the cops or anything like that. The guy I'm going to meet online is an adult as well (25 y/o). He agreed to meet with me and possibly hookup (you know what i mean). In a way, it's kind of soliciting intercourse online... but both parties are consenting adults. what are the implications of this in law?

Live in California. I gave 2 weeks notice and because i am going to a competitor, the company did the exit interview the next day. Am I legally entitled to get paid for the remaining 2 weeks?
If so, is this stated somewhere like a .gov or CA state website somewhere?

In Michigan where I live there is a budget crises once again so the State Police posts are closing. Not all but too many. Maybe the people who caused this (our governor) should recieve no pay since they aren't doing anything.

I went to get my another illinois drivers license done cause I lost my. When I went outside I had found that some one scratched my new 2007 SUV. I was so pissed that some one saw that and didnt say anything. Luckey for who ever did it that I didn't see them otherwise the law wouldn't even be able to stop me from killing a low life like that. I respect everyones property cause every1 works hard for their money so that they are able to have nice things. The place was mainly old people and honestly I have respect for elders but when **** like that is done **** them all they shouldn't be able to driver pass the age of 60.

can you get fired for calling in to take off a shift, and get fired because the reason you had given wasn't good enough? i called in this past friday to let my work know that i could not come in for my shift that day because i had some school responsibilities to take care of. they "let me go" that day, because my reason for taking the shift off was not "reasonable enough". are they allowed to fire you on those grounds alone? otherwise i was an excellent employee and they are aware that i am a college student.

I don't want to read through a huge document though, I just want simple, clear and accurate information. Specifically, I'd like to know about when music falls out of copyright and becomes public domain - is it 50 years like the UK?

I just recently moved out of an apartment into a house. I still have my apartment until the end of Oct. My landlord first changed the locks on the apt. Yes it was empty and I wasnt living there. But Its still mine for one more month. Then he started doing repairs. The big one is that he had to have the carpets neutralized due to my cat. Although my cat is an indoor cat and very well litter box trained. My problem is that he didnt give me the option to neutralize it myself. And he is now telling me I owe 160.00 for the job. Can he charge me that. After all it is still my place. And I probably could have had it done for much less. This is in the state of Texas.

I've heard that there is a part of the Patriot Act which allows Law enforcement to ask you a question. You must answer the question, but you can never tell anyone what you were asked or what your answer was. If you do you can go to jail!
I've done a search of the Patriot Act and it is a whole lot to read and hard to understand unless you are a lawyer! If anyone knows if this is true please tell me and give me a source where I can find it!
Thanks!

Discrimination against people for race and religion is wrong so why isn't wrong to discriminate against people who have bad credit. People can be overlooked for jobs, loans, and insurance just for having bad credit. Why couldn't you sue someone if you knew you didnt get a loan or had a higher insurance rate? If you knew you didnt get that same loan or insuance rate because of skin color or religion. You could sue. Just curious about what everyone thought
