Law & Ethics - November 2007

I was hired for a white-collar job in IL. The compensation paid is salary (not hourly). The type of work I do is mainly at a desk using a computer. For the job I was hired, it is clear to me that I am not eligible for overtime pay.

Now, due to recent changes in my employer's needs, I'm temporarily doing blue-collar work in a factory. I'm glad to help out and don't mind this, but I'm just curious if I should be getting overtime pay for the hours worked over 40.

By law, am I elible for overtime pay while I do the factory work?

My neighbors teenage sons were shooting birds with a be be gun. I made a comment to a coworker about how stupid people are for senseless killings of animals, when they have a hard enough time just surviving, I wish all guns where ban. That's when he asked me that question. I would very much like to come back with the answer.

My husband and I saw this show last night, and we had a few questions that were really bothering us. Could this show be seen as entrapment? There were never any underage people actually involved, so does that have an effect on the legality? I know these are often some pretty sick men, but something just feels wrong about the way this is handled. Plus, can Dateline legally show their identities without consent?

Why is this not reported to the police? Do you believe they should serve prison time? Does this effect your trust of the church?

I want to move to Oklahoma where my family is but I have two children with a man I wasnt married to. He pays child support and sees them often. He is totally against me moving even though they want to go. I have no family here in Missouri and I am really unhappy. Is there any law saying that I cant move with them? Do I need his permission?

A while ago the porn bots found a home on the Yahoo chat lines...that venue finally had to be taken off line until the porn people could be dealt with. This venue seem to have attracted ditto-heads. I doubt if anything can be done about that without getting involved in 'free speech'. My sense of this is that after awhile there will be no real questions that require thought...just ditto-head propaganda and leading questions centered on some sin committed by the 'liberal' strawman. Any ideas on thoughts on this subject?

Hopefully someone can answer this question. I have until Dec 15th to show up for Book/Release at the Sheriffs Dept. However my question is do I have a criminal record now? Or after the book and release because I would think they would have to process you.

I've always thought that the sole reason for American citzens who are pro illegal was greed for cheap labor, But in view of the recent incident of the school teacher who ran away with the 13 year old who happen to be an illegal immigrant, I not think that maybe, just maybe its sex that is the motivation for many of American who have taken this pro illegal stance....

Is it legal for the management of a hotel to remove an entire section of advertising from each and every Yellow Pages directory placed in their guest rooms simply because the management of the hotel does not like the (totally legal) service being advertiseed?

In this case, it's the Escort Services ads that they've removed, but it might just as well be tattoo parlours, abortion services, divorce lawyers, gun dealers, mosques -- can the management of a hotel that accepts and makes available Yellow Pages directories modify them before making them available to their guests? And if so, do they have an obligation to inform their guests of this prior to or at the time of booking?

Son was killed in August. Memeber of church for 1 year. I've been member for 8. Requested services to be held @ church was told couldn't. Have had no communication with Pastor despite several attempts for just 5 mins. just to understand why we were just thrown away. Another church and Pastor allowed me in to have funeral services. I know doctors and hospitals have the American Medical Boards? Who or what do churches go through to answer to their bad choices and actions?

OK, indian reservations are immune to US laws because they are considered sovereign nations. They have their own police, govt, laws, etc...So, why don't they legalize Mary Jane, and why doesn't the US require a passport to visit a reservation?
