Law & Ethics - November 2007

If a man lived in a country with a pretty low age of consent (say Canada - 14) and started a relationship online with a girl who was under the age of consent in the country where she lived but over the age of consent in the guy's country (say a 15 year old in the US) would the man be a pedophile and therefore able to be arrested? Because he wouldn't be breaking the law in his country...And what if it was the other way round and an American man was talking to a 15 year old Canadian? This hasn't happened to me or anyone I know but I was just wondering.

Philip is an auditor whos client is SMFL, could anyone plase tell me from reading the small article if there is any breach of professional ethics or if there is something wrong with the auditrors actions or the clients actions ?

On reviewing the files for the firm's largest client, Specialist Metal Fabrications Limited ( SMFL )( annual recurring fees having risen steadily over the last five years to £90,000 pa ), she noted that , due to cash flow problems, the prior year's audit and other fees were still unpaid. Philip, who has been the engagement partner since SMFL was established some ten years ago, has now started to attend the regular monthly board meetings of SMFL and to advise the directors on the
financial position as shown in the management accounts ( also prepared by a separate member of the Braithwaite staff ). From the various file notes, it is evident that SMFL's bank is taking a close interest in it's performance

I was just reading this article about a man who knew he was HIV positive and he raped a woman. Rape is horrible by itself, but I haven't really decided how I feel about the attempted murder charge on kowing HIV infected perpetrators. Voluntary manslaughter is being grouped in with murder for this topic, btw. Anyway this guy faces two charges of rape, attempted rape, kidnapping and felonious assault. The FELONIOUS assault is because he knew he had AIDS. WTF???!!

Can anyone in their right mind say "that's what the sharia law says"?

How on earth can laws made in 7th century be applied to modern day society? What is wrong in a woman being seen with a male who is not her relative? Can somebody answer with some amount of logic (without quoting suras)?

I'm a socialist and sympathetic to many causes like the Palestine, but incidents like these make me believe that Islam can bring nothing but horrible things to our society

I heard on the news last week that there was a website that people could go on where they could get your mother's maiden name if they had your name and date of birth. What website is this and how is it allowed to do this? This is worrying me slightly as I work in a small office where everyone knows everyones name and when they were born. This means anyone could open an account in your name!

I am accused of being a "sad person" delusional and I was watching a documentary W5 and they showed an american woman who was raped and she was told to go into the room and get her own evidence. There was absolutely no support from the cruise ship and this was a very well known Cruise line. They also showed another woman who was raped. Then they showed a girl that was last seen on a cruise and disappeared and her father knew her last thing she did was she was on a cruise. The head of the cruise line on the show said yes we document rapes but legally women have 0 recourse as the fault leads on the next port rather then where the rape took place. One man who worked the cruise line saw a man who he knew was found guilty of rape, be rehired on the same cruise line. They said the people that work the cruise ships do not consider rape what we American and Canadian women consider rape so they do it. They said these men are often away from their wives and girlfriend so they have been known to

Ok, I've heard alot of things about this national ID card for the US especially now that presidential candidates are bringing it up. It's a card that will identify us and has our ss#, financial info, you cant buy or sell, travel on plane or train without it. It will even have our DNA somehow on it. Then the gov't will enforce RFID technology which means a chip will be implanted in the id card kind of like a GPS tracking device. We will be monitored at all times?? Doesn't this sound like invasion of privacy?? The RFID chips are already in the newly issues passports which explains why we NEED them to get back into the US now. Doesn't this scare anyone else?? Or are you guys even aware of this? I don't want to be monitored 24/7 or have this so called chip implanted in me! That sounds too much like Revelations in the Bible. If it sounds crazy, look it up IT EXISTS...it takes in effect May 2008. Is anyone for this? I think we should be voting for cadidates against this don't you?

If false case of 498a is filed and no solid evidence is provided by wife regarding the dowry harassment there is no punishment to the husband but court awarding punishment under Cr.182 to wife is yet to be beleived b cos husband and his relatives will just be not interested to fight for the case under it. Simple reason is that MANY VALUABLE YEARS OF YOUTH would have been LOST in winning the case filed by wife. Instead something better have to be done and i have not come across any husband filing a Cr.182 against his wife after winning the dowry case. Can anyone suggest wat else can be done to give a stringent punishment to wife as now applicable by law?

I feel so powerless and afraid for my girls...please read and offer ANY advice. I have physical custody of my 3 daughters, and my ex filed a restraining order against me (it WAS GRANTED!!!). He's claimed(obviously untrue) I hit them/put them in dangerous situations/don't bathe them/among numerous other insane accusations. He began a custody battle 2 mos after the div was finalized 1 yr ago. I can't afford to hire a decent atty. He was abusive in the marriage, hasn't had much interest in them until the last year. He simply doesn't want to pay child support. I'm a stay at home soccer type mom who LIVES for her children. He won't even help with homework. His lies are better than my truths. No ones even interviewed the girls, and I haven't been ALLOWED to present ANY evidence to the judge!Tomorrow I won't know the next time I'll be allowed to speak to or see them. I'm dying inside!Advice, prayers, moral support!? PLEASE! I can't believe this is happening to us!
