8 AnswersLaw & Ethics10 years agoWhy do we teach children not to tattle, but expect adults to give testimony at a criminal trial?
We hear it all the time - don't be a tattle-tail, but as adults, we are expected to give testimony if we witness a crime. Police officers hide behind a thin blue line - but they're supposed to arrest criminals. Why do we demand honesty but expect and tolerate lies?
3 AnswersLaw & Ethics10 years agoOn message boards, I've seen people use the at symbol "@" in front of a name. What does that mean?
I assume it means that they're replying to the person whose name comes after the @ - but I'm not sure... I've googled and searched, but can't find anything about this practice. Can anyone explain and site references? THANKS!!!
2 AnswersComputer Networking1 decade agoCA Supreme Court strikes down Gay Marriage Ban - is this proper for a court to do?
Today, in a 4-3 decision, the Republican appointed CA Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional the law banning Gay Marriage.
Christians and conservatives are upset, saying that this is an improper thing for the court to have done. Recently, though - the same court struck down as unconstitutional a San Francisco law that banned ownership and possession of handguns in the city, and those same conservatives applauded the court for *that* decision.
Is it possible they don't see the hypocrisy of those two conflicting standpoints on the SAME issue? Can people really be that illogical? Are people sleeping through civics in high school? Do you know what Supreme Courts are supposed to rule on?
