Law & Ethics - December 2007

Hello, I am in 8th grade and I get teased a lot.
So today the teasing got so bad that a boy stabbed me on my inner arm with a pencil
(he is a 6th grader...)
So I told the front office and they talked to the kid....he LIED to them and said that he scratched me with his pencil while he was puting it away....THAT WAS SUCH A LIE!!!
But the front office NEVER believed me when I told them what really happened....

so I was talking with my mother after school and she suggested that we call the police and have the kid that stabbed and teased me arrested.....I do not know if that is the right thing to do....but this kid HITS me in my back, punches me, and calls me names every day....

So, should I call the police and have hip thrown in jail for assault?

I am sorry if some of you did misunderstand.
I am not judging anyone.
I am not upholding a religious view, sorry about that as it is not the way I intended it.
You are right that in UK today maybe it seems to some people that abortion is better than growing up here.
This makes me really sad.
Of course it is right for a woman to be able to choose abortion if she has been raped, or maybe just because she feels like it, it is a personal choice, I have no business judging others.
WHAT I did want to ask was just that since the UK is officially the WORST place according to the OECD why does the government not do more to make the UK climb up to the TOP of the OECD ratings like:
Better hospitals
Better public transport especially for people with pushchairs
Better schools
Better childcare
Safer roads
Less tax on working people
More affordable housing
Then if UK would do better (after all is this not the JOB of government), to make UK the BEST PLACE FOR CHILDREN then there would be less abortion

here's the scenario...
so, 3 times my work calls me during my day off to come to work (like yesterday) to cover someone shift BUT everytime they call, i'm engage to other committments (errands, appointments, etc.)

ok, so i go into work today and my manager calls me into her office saying that the request to switch schedule tomorrow will be granted but when it comes to me requesting to switch or to request time off on a future date, she said that she will not authorize the switch or RTO. she mentioned names of other workers thats able to come into work on their day off and calls them her "star employees" and she said that "i better step it up if i wanna become a star" ( who the f*ck cares, just as long as i do my job, right?)

isnt this a threat or something? can she say this? i mean, common, it was my day off.

i cant let this go so what steps should i do??

They just mounted a surveillance camera aimed at our garage. They have made a habit of making unfounded complaints to our local council - all investigated, all found groundless - and now we have this.

A guy shot my cat in the head. I saw him do it, had him arrested, convicted in court (and suing him in civil court now) and want to make sure everyone knows what he did without exposing myself to a libel suit. Can I legally post his name and address saying what he did on the web for everyone to see so that they know what kind of person he is?

Recently got a couple citations when pulled over. What do I do? Is this a ticket? Do I pay or go to court? Is this serious? Thanks.

I've never been pulled over, that is why.

Any police on here I'd like your input.

Is the US' presence in Iraq illegal? They trespassed the country and captured its own leader (Hussein.)

Please don't make fun of me. I'm studying law and according to my textbook, they have broken the "Internatinal Responsibility" aspect of customary law. I'm also not american.

Thanks.

I was too nice to someone and loaned them and covered their rent payment until it built up to a little over $9000.00. This amount is too big for small claims court what do I do. Ive already sent a demand letter and have a letter from them stating they owe me the money.

Someone told me that if the word Tivo becomes common enough, like if it gets entered into the dictionary, then other companies can use it, and the company Tivo can no longer hold a claim to it. Is this true?

in a modern and florishing country like our own, with a government that has control, when is murder justifiable? should anyone get to decide who dies and who lives? these ideas of corporal punishment and abortion seem very relativistic to me. i mean just cuz someone (judge) says its ok to kill person A (criminal) does that make it ok? we know that relativism, the belief that individuals make their own truth, cant possibly be true, yet its employed in our own government. so if we allow killing of our criminals and our unborn, then homocide obviously has no consequence and we should be able to kill whoever we want right?

The case is essentially deciding whether or not falsifying the promotion of child pornography is criminal, and if it's against freedom of speech by way of the PROTECT act. So if I say I have kiddie porn but I really don't, is incriminating me for just saying I have it (which is legal under the PROTECT act) against my freedom of speech? What do you all think?
