Law & Ethics - December 2007

The USPS attempted to deliver a package to my house on 12-22 since I was not home they left a notice stating that it would be available for pickup on 12-24 after 9am and that it required a signature. I went to the post office on 12-26 to pick up the package but it wasn't there. I have come to find out that they delivered it on Sunday and left it on my doorstep where it was stolen. Is the post office responsible for replacing the contents since they did not abide by what the notice said?

We are the land of the free and home of the brave, but it seems to me that everyday there are more and more rules to be followed. Dont get me wrong, there is no other place in teh world I would rather live, but our freedoms seem to be shrinking day by day. Thoughts?

This guy totally annoys me. I told him my mom filed a police report and she is going to press charges on him because he "sexually harasses" me. He seems to get thrilled by annoying people. He knew i hated him and I even made a whole new email address to get away from him and he got that new email address. I told him not to call me "sweetie" and he still did and i told him to leave me alone and he acted like nothing was wrong when i threatend to report him to the cops i said "i hate you" multiple times and he'd say "i love you" and stuff. Do you consider this sexual harassment?? and is this important enough to tell my mom about, and should she take this to the police?? He is in 10th grade and he lives in newjersey, i am in 8th grade and i live on the other side of the country. what can the police do about this? He is very smart with computers and he deleted my email address and yahoo account to hide the "proof" that he "sexually harasses" me.

Do you consider this sexual harassment?

Why should our government pay to feed, shelter and clothe criminals? That money could be used in many other ways to improve our country.

I also don't see why they even give them chances to appeal, just get it over with in a week and ignore appeals.

Do we really need criminals, especially gang members running around our streets thinking they own everything, they go to prison for a few years then get spit out into society for a few months, they kill or rob someone then back into prison again, something in our law system is wrong and I think it's all the liberal idealism going around.

My guy friend is threatening to put charges on me for this so I'm worried, because I've never been arrested before. I need some advice.

Okay I was tired of people praising others for having kids and then telling me that they could just never see me as being able to financially provide. I felt hurt and insulted. I was also hurt that guys were dissing me. My ultra cute guy friend doesn't want anything to do with me as more than a friend, but I wish he gave me a chance. I don't want to be alone this lifetime, I want to pass my genes on and prove to everyone how good of a parent I can actually be.

I did something very naughty. One weekend a bunch of us slept over and watched movies. The next morning, my best guy friend was in one of the bedrooms, getting it on with a girl he's been meeting up with for sex lately. When he was done, I saw him very quickly leave the room for an instant, wearing a towel, to quick throw out the used condom in the wastebasket right outside the room. I was

My lawyer who was appointed to me said that he could get it dropped to a misdemeanor and 12 mths probation. wouldnt it be better if i could get a pretrial diversion maybe then i could get it dismissed later. This is also my first offense.

As a woman, as a mother, as a mother of a marine in Iraq,and an aunt to a niece in the navy, and a nephew in the Nat. Guard, I really thought the late p.m. showed promise and hope for democracy in Pakistan. How can we as mothers, and Americans show that we will not tolerate violence as an expression of anger?Is this really the price? To kill a woman and a mother? I am overwhelmed, expecially that some people think that this is no concern of ours. I am truly sorry, my heart goes out to her family and her country.

In the court papers I was to have visitation with my daughter on Chtristmas. He verbally agreed to 11 am but the papers dont say a time so he didnt show up and I called the police but without a time emphazised the police couldnt do anything. He called the cop back after the he was done with his families holiday celebration and then he lied to the cop saying that we agreed on 8 pm. I got her back at 6 PM after christmas dinner was cold and I spent the whole day crying. I need to get a lawyer but its hard when I pay child support. I had legal aide for the divorce and thats probablly how I lost custody in the first place. How do I get a cheap lawyer or one who takes payments?

I once said I disagreed with a fellow YA user (phule_poet) and gave a few reasons for believing so. In response to my question he said I was moronic- I never responded to him. But I did responded to several others who I disagreed with. He mistakenly believed I was including him in this group. He then called me an idiot (among a few other insults). It was then I called him foolish, hotheaded, and idiotic for not thinking his answer through and for insulting me when it was altogether unnecessary. He then reported me and I received a violation notice. Do you think he was wrong for reporting me after he had just insulted me himself- especially after I did not insult him until he insulted me on two separate occasions?

I hired a contractor to replace some dry rotted floorboards on my front porch. However, the alleged repair job doesn't look any better than what was there before. The boards are still uneven and warped. I phoned him to express my dissatisfaction and expectation that he would make things right. He said since his company was an LLC so I couldn't sue him, and that he wasn't responsible since he did not actually do the work himself. He had a relative and another man do the job. I think he's full of bulls**t and trying to put one over. The contract said the boards would be "repaired" but his definition of "repaired" is apparently different form mine. He's got my money and it looks like he just painted over the old boards and hoped I wouldn't notice. What should I do?

This is something Ive always wanted to ask those gun control idiots,

the government should pose no law what so ever on weapon ownership of any kind (except maybe the 1-3 day waiting period)

So, if you really want all the guns to be taken out of the hands of good law abiding citizens who use it to defend themselves, would you make it so that the 2nd amendment never existed and gun ownership was never an issue.
