Law & Ethics - December 2007

I was just wondering if a website or forum that calls for the killings of a certian group of people can be shut down?
Lets say for example its a British forum online where British citizens around the world log in and can post articles, and it so happens that some users do call for killings of a certian number of British people etc, how would one go about reporting this or would it be even worth it? Could law enforcement track down the ip address and the owner of the site and compel him to clean up messages and arrest the writers of such inflammatory writings??????????

Someone please RSVP ASAP.

I was wondering cause this person I was suppose to wire the money to in Nigeria had the money wired to me which he owed it to me for work I did for him here in the states. He has been harashing me about it and now I am getting these e-mails from this FBI agent and all that is stated in his email is BBU under his name. The agent is claiming I received the money fraudulantly which I did not.

My stepson is with his mother's current motherinlaw (not with my motherinlaw) witch is my husband’s son. My stepson's mother is drug addiction. When they went to pick him & his baby sister up (her new baby with her current boyfriend) they ask her whom she wanted the child to stay with & she said her current mother in law. I don't understand how they would let a mother in those conditions choose whom the children would be with thought the court dose it for her & they never contacted my husband & I. Much less the grand-mother .how dose that work? It’s in San Diego county Ca.

Ok so there are a lot of people out there who are against abortion, which is understandle. It all depends on your veiws of the life forming inside the womb and a womans right to choose. So I was thinking, when an unexpected pregnancy comes about and the woman wants to keep the baby but the man wants her to abort it, should he still have to pay child support and whatnot. If the male really did not want anything to do with the pregnancy and the baby, why should he pay.

Please don't jump all over me for asking this. I was just pondering it, and would like to know what other people think.

I was reading the news on the Internet today and it appears that rapper Yung Joc decided NOT to make a court appearance on a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon, thus making him a fugitive of the law.

Why do these people try to evade the law? Why can't they own up to what they do and take their punishment? It's stupid!

I am going to child support court, the father wants to reduce child support payment from the guidelines of the state of N.C. of course he does not want to pay the whole payment. What does a judge like to hear from the mother to get the full amount? I want to be impressive.

I live in Massachusetts.

When I was 15 I stole someone's credit card number and tried to buy a dvd online. Needless to say i was caught and now it's on my juvinile record. Credit card fraud! It sounds so bad I can barely say it out loud. It's my only flaw on my recocrd. Nothing else but this. No criminal record. My record is not sealed. I'm 20 and in college for criminal justice. Is all hope lost for getting a job in this field? Will government agencies look at this and not accept me? Should i just quit now? This has been bothering me for so long and I feel so hopeless. Can someone shed light on this? Can someone with the knoledge tell me if this will disqualify me from getting a job as a police officer (for example)?

Working in the criminal justice field is my dream and i want to follow my dream. I know it's credit card fraud but doesn't the fact that it's juvinile make any difference? I was 15 years old! Do I have a chance? With a BS from Northeastern??

Respectfully,
Mike

A change in the sexual harassment law, signed by President Clinton, led to his own impeachment. Normally the law does not allow evidence of "similar incidents" to be admitted in either a civil or a criminal a case. (Whether or not someone robbed other banks is deemed irrelevant to whether the person robbed the bank for which he or she has been charged.) Under the changed law, though, evidence of other instances of "sex for advancement" (remember the Revlon job offer to Monica Lewinsky?) were admissable. Clinton lied about them, and his problems began.

I assume Pelosi opposed Clinton's impeachment. Does she favor repealing the law I described? Why or why not? Or does she feel perjury and obstruction of justice are not sufficient grounds for impeachment?

Thanks for any reasoned responses.

I was wondering what's ethical or not in such situations. If you are the aunt/uncle/cousin/grandparent of a child, do you NOT have the right to help them stay out of harms way? Meaning you can't tell them to climb on the tv or bookshelf or run in the house or kick the cat, because you're not the kid's parents?

Or is it ok to warn them every now and then to make sure they don't get hurt? Do I make any sense?

Seriously.

Lethal injections are not humane. They can lead to slow and painful deaths.

The guillotine was invented to make a humane way to kill people. Trouble is, that sometimes, the blade wasn't sharpened enough, and wouldn't cut the head completely off, leading to pain, or if it cut the head off, it led to "living heads".

But what about the firing squad?

You're lined up against a wall, and shot. Dead, just like that. I think this should be done with a 20mm autocannon to ensure swift death.

Of course, I myself do not believe in the death penalty. Some 14% of those executed may be innocent in the US.

Your thoughts?

Bangalore. India.I was employed by a company for 10 months and terminated by giving a reason of underperformer. There was no payment of my salary component or other reimbursements. Then later on the salary itself was coming in delayed and without any information from the management. Which keeps mum or silent always and never replies to any of our grievances or queries by mail, phone or in person contact.
There is not settlement made till date even after 6 months.
This company has a very bad reputation for not paying their employees properly - which I had come to know offlate only.
They have this practice of deducting the Provident Fund and TDS taxes from the employees salaries and not deposit with the government nor pay the taxes to government. Now how do we make this company learn a lesson and settle my dues which are long pending. They had given me termination letter after I had raised this as an issue to have a good work environment or carry with my daily duties. Help me !

Say I had an aunt or something on life support, and I was paying the medical bills. She didn't have any written consent to pull the plug, nor did she talk about this situation to anyone currently alive. Would it be immoral for me to pull the plug, especially if she was slowly draining me dry of all the financial support I had? Would it be illegal? Would it be murder? Would it technically violate her "right to life"?

Just wondering how financial dependency affects the whole "right to life" thing when it comes to life support.

Sources are appreciated! Thanks!

I was thinking of starting a podcast about BS products that in no way work like they do in the commercial.

My father raised me on the fact that everything is a scam, and I intend to prove that.

So If I use a product and It dose not give me the results it promises.

Ex.
5-Hour Energy

Chaser tablets

Extenze

That Belt that you strap on and it magically burns fat while you sit on your ***

Now if something works I will say it works and recommend it, but if it dosen't I was thinking of a catch-phrase like

"It didn't work for me"

Its not Slander if its true, so legally I'm in the clear right?

T-Mobile decided to take out money from my bank account without my consent therefore forcing me to go negative and receiving non-sufficient funds fees. I have tried for the whole past week to resolve this issue and all I am getting is the run-arounds.

Ok I work in a small Insurnace office with just my boss and I. He is 59 I am 32. He is married I am not but I am in a comitted long term relationship. We do not have an outside of work relationship, we do talk about our lives, but nothing intimate. Well anyway for Christmas, he got me a pair of vibrating underware. It came with a remote that he had behind his desk, so when I opened it, he turned it on! I almost died! I couldn't beliveve he gave me that...Well anyway, it bothered me so much I cannot go in today, I just cant get myself to do it. I did take the present, cause I felt I may need it to show my working conditions. I have known he has been doing things to himself in his office if you know what I mean, and that he is into porn at work, but up until now, he has never bothered me, Do you feel this is a legitimate form a sexual harassment?
