Law & Ethics - November 2007

I just found out that a co-worker of mine moonlights as an escort. She says she makes good money & it's legal. OK> what separates her from a corner prostitute? Please don't tell me that she doesn't sleep with her "clients" because no man would pay for "just" a date. Why isn't this too illegal?

I love this country but we are backwards at time's feel that if your not old enough to drink then you should not be old enough to fight for this country. Children just out of high school looking to go to college are dying before ever even get drink a glass of wine how crazy is that, the age could be 21 ,18 is still to young.

On a verbal contract (I know it's stupid) I took a copywriting project for a client. I have now spent WAY over the time I bid and am no closer to an end because the client keeps kicking back all my ideas with a "no" but no help in what he DOES want. I told him I was spending too much time on this and I needed guidance and now he wants his money back. Do I have to refund it?

My truck broke down at McDonald's, so I left it there for almost 24 hours while waiting for the repair shop (next door) to re-open after the weekend.

When I went to get the truck this morning, it had been towed. There were "tow away zone" signs in the lot, but I had been a customer at the McDonald's when it broke down, and it wasn't there all that long.

The sign had the wrong phone number for the towing company so the Manager of McDonald's gave me the right one. I called and they said it would be about $200 to get my truck.

Their normal rate for towing is $50. Isn't $200 called inflation? Isn't that illegal?

Furthermore, how can McDonald's have my truck towed when I was a customer there when it broke down?

My questions are...

(1) Does any law protect me from a jacked-up price that the towers wouldn't charge if I called them on my own.

(2) Is there any way to get the charges reduced

(3) Any tips or suggestions for me?

This happened in Florida.

Thanks!

I need to know a pretty generalized answer and not something copied and pasted from the internet. I'm in Spanish 202 and I have to write an in-class essay about human rights issues in Columbia. I've done some research but its very complicated. I was wondering if someone could give me a generlized overview of the problems and maybe some solutions? Thanks.

What would you do if you join a new company and you work closely with the senior management and you have hiccups and obstacles... issues like the mode of transport, budgets some discrepancies in regards to the job level. If the senior management has a1 the highest a2 the second highest and a3 the junior of the senior management and you see them treating you like you are in b1, the middle management sector... is it fair to inform the HR about it and draw them to the fact that you are not happy or just let it be?

Thanks

On 25 Oct 2007 11:30am, my car was hit by a truck. I have made a claim on the second day. And received a letter on 19 Nov 2007. The insurance company said their clients versions so are different at that point. They must support their client. If I have an independent witness who is prepared to support my version of the acciden. Then they will change their position.

The truck driver version

I was hit by a truck driver. He said I'm tried to turn right
and then turn left again. It's not his fault.

My versionI

I found that a big noise crash from my left hand side. And
saw a big truck hit my left hand side. I slowed down my car
and press the horn. The driver was driving away. I stop my
car and checked the passenger side mirror was broken. I
kept press the horn. After two left corner, the driver was
stopped by two people on the pavement. So I got the
information to make a claim.

What can I do?

When shopping at a local store I was not allowed to purchase a gaming system because I have already purchased one weeks back and was in their system. Is there any consumer protection laws that protect against this. I mean if the item is in stock on the shelf, no line, can any store refuse a sale?

Please no assumptions or guesses.

Thanks

If someone does not own any real estate and only has personal belongings that are not worth much, do they really need a will? This person has no children or parents alive. He has a brother. Would his brother automatically inherit his personal items? He has no debts.

I heard of a former american vietnam POW that was tied up, a hood put over his head and left in a room full of poisonous snakes.

I heard of another tied that had his legs and hand tied, a hood placed over his head and taken out in the middle of a river by boat and then dumped in.

In each case, the horrible vietcong did not kil the prisoner, but they sure wanted to scare death to death to try to get information out of them.

Were these war crimes?
