Law & Ethics - November 2007

My history teacher brought it up the other day and I think he is right. I don't think abortion is moral on any level though.

We live in Illinois. MY husband broke his elbow at work and was out for 2 days before the doctor, company doctor mind you, cleared him to go back on light duty. His boss isn't letting him back until he is off light duty because she says there is no work for him, even though he could run the cash register, or do his actual job and manage the place, instead of picking up everyone else's slack. He is on salary but since he isn't working at all, they are saying he isn't getting a paycheck until he comes back. Is this legal? He can't collect workers comp. because he can work! I think it is also work mentioning, just for the sake of bitching, that he has worked 65 hours or better every week for the last 5 years, ontop of school, and they have payed him cash most of the time. What can we do in this situation, because we are getting the gut feeling they are trying to make him quit, or find a way to not let him back.

One of my students from last year was killed last night by a hit and run driver while he was standing still on his motorcycle at a stop light. The person who killed him has not been found.
I am very saddened by his death, as he was very bright.
So many young people are killed in car accidents, what can we do to prepare them better?

Its interesting that they want to punish a man for what he does in private. Personally I think its crap, the man did it in the privacy of his own home, and someone gave the tape to the public. I wonder how many people would enjoy having what they said in their own house aired in public for everybody to hear. Besides... is it really a suprise that a man who calls himself Dog, and prides himself on being a white drug using thug in the past is a racist? Doesn't matter though, it was still a private conversation, the media that released it, and the person that gave it to them should be fined heavily.

Let's just say, hypothetically speaking, that the government was withholding an AIDS cure or vaccine in order to continue profiting off of expensive treatments being used by the victims (give them the cure, then bye bye expensive treatments and bye bye millions of dollars; sure they could make the cure expensive but it wouldn't become a repeat consumerable product as the treatments have).

Which entities, be it federal, state, or local would be involved in order for such a conspiracy to actually be real? And who would be in charge? I would imagine pharmacy companies may play some kind of role in all this.

In 99% of posts and answer that mention 'racism' and the 'n' word, I've noticed that 99% respond that THEY ARE NOT RACIST AND ARE TOTALLY AGAINST RACISM. Now if that is true how is there still racism in this country???

Like say if a detective is tracking a suspect in the US and the suspect flies out of the country and hides in, say, Cameroon Africa... would a US detective be able to board the plane with a gun (since he/she IS a cop afterall) and go to Africa to find and capture the suspect? Would there be any legal ramifications for the detective to do this?

Is it wrong to say "Jesus Christ" while at work or anywhere else for that matter? AND IS YOUR BOSS ALLOWED TO STOP YOU FROM SAYING THIS because 1 person says they are offended by it?
By the way the person who claims to be offended says "Oh My God" frequently. Is one better? less "offensive" than the other?

what if someone got pregnant and they were under 16 ( michigan law says you have to be 16 to do stuff llegally) and your boyfriend was 18, what would happen.

But when the baby was born you would be 16.

Do doctors have to press charges or get the law involved?
What if he never came to anything and was only in the delievery room?
Do you have the right not to tell?

What could all happen in this case?
Can parents have a say in it?

Only serious answers please. Thank you

My band and I (from around Toronto, Ontario) signed a contract to a record label when we were all under 18. The record company owner was aware of this. Now, 8 months before the contract ends, we want to drop the label. When we signed it, we were under the impression that we couldn't be legally binded by a contract. Now, ONE of the members, turned 18. Are we now legally binded by the contract, or no?
Basically, since ONE member is now 18, can we drop the label we're signed to and not be legally binded? Or since we were all under age when we signed the contract, did it immediately become null or void?
I know very, very little about this sort of legal stuff, so any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks

My ex moved to Michigan with my son several years ago. Previously I have had no problems with getting my time with him, but now she is refusing to let us see him. She keeps saying that it is no convenient for her or they have plans. We live in Oklahoma and the child support is set up here but we were not married so no divorce. I contacted 2 lawyers here and one says we need to do the visitation case there since he is a legal resident of that state and one says here since the child support is set up here, but I contacted a Michigan lawyer that also said that it would be here in Oklahoma. So where would I get a lawyer to file for visitation for my son that lives in Michigan?

I find this ad selling a 1998 rav4 with only 73,000 miles for only $2,300. She says she's in the army and is being deployed to iraq and needs to sell within two days and thats why the price is so low. I email her telling her I'm very interested and she emails me back telling me she just sold it and that there is this great website I should check out to find good deals on cars. She even gives me a username and password.... which doesn't work. The site is supposedly done by a us army vet. who wants to help people out by sharing some links he's found useful. There were 3 links...one for car auctions, second for a site that pays for online surveys, the 3rd was how to make money driving around. These were supposedly all seperate sites. Each site required you to pay a member fee but what caught my attention was all the payment forms were exactly the same for each site.
Does this sound familiar to anyone else out there? Do you think its a scam?
