What happens if you get caught being naked in public?
If you're a woman who was top-less - or either sex and went completely naked - you'd get arrested for 'public indecency' !
I Believe that if you are talked to by police, questioned, then arrested (in WI the police don't read you your Miranda Rights and the courts don't care), you have to prove your innocence. The courts and police never lie of course and if you don't have the money to prove your innocence there is always the plea deals. Just plea to the crime and get this sentence. Then if something happens again (using Disorderly Conducts as example) the whole system says oh he's a repeat, lets keep punishing him for his past and for current charge.
No I think women still get leanier sentences then men if both charged with the same misdermeaner. Look at Lindse Lohan, 7 misd and she gets 1 day in jail and comm. service. Any regular person, whe would be in jail for a long time and then probation of course. That's another double jeapordy, money making scam for the government.

Who wrote the cruelest lies are often told in silence?
A quote by Robert Louis Stevenson. It means to hide the truth by not saying anything. Example: one spouse is cheating on the other. The knowledge that the cheated on spouse would leave if the cheating were discovered, so no confession ever comes. The silence is a lie, because it is allowing the other to believe everything is fine when it isn't. - A lie of omission is the "cruelest of lies," because it takes away the power of the other person to act.

Well there are several disadvantages and critique about the praised diversity in corporations.
1) Reversed discrimination - basically means that the 'regular and indiverse' people who might be more professional are not hired in favor of a person of a minority of an ethnic group, gender, age or sexual orientation.
2) People with significantly different backgrounds might have cultural or other barriers to co-work efficiently

Better idea generating

How do you promote freedom of speech?
The word "freedom" has many meanings in society, and there are a number of ways to defend and promote it. For example, the constitution guarantees a number of rights, which include freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. People can promote these freedoms by making others more aware of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. One way to do this is helping new Americans to understand the voting process. There are a number of non-partisan organizations that teach voter education, and you can volunteer with them. Similarly, there are organizations that defend free speech rights, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion.
Individuals can promote freedom by being informed on current issues. This can be done by reading books and magazines that express a wide range of views (this promotes freedom of thought). If you are a blogger or a free-lance writer, you can write essays that defend freedom of thought, or any of the other freedoms we are fortunate to have. You can also join with others who are standing up for freedom: for example, if a library is trying to ban certain controversial books, you can become a Friend of the Library and defend the right to read controversial ideas.
If you are a teacher, you can make sure your students learn about what freedom means, and the many kinds of freedom we have. And of course, if you are a member of the military, you are actively involved in defending the country and protecting these freedoms. If you are a public speaker, you may be able to promote freedom during your speaking engagements. If you are not a public speaker, you can promote freedom by attending talks by speakers who have a variety of views and by encouraging courteous exchanges of opinion.
What are the pros and cons of human rights?
Pro: The common law does not provide adequate protection of basic human rights For the future of the community we must ensure that rights are protected The courts require a clear direction about what rights should be protected-they should not have to rely on precedent and legislative whim The world community suggests that a Bill of Rights is required by all mature and democratic societies A bill of rights would consolidate the emerging rights of indigenous peoples Con: The common law does protect rights A bill of rights would impede the ability of the police to control crime it would increase the amount of litigation in the courts it would give excessive power to the judiciary rights that are left out of the bill will be perceived as having less value and may therefore be altered or deleted certain societies which have the bill of rights do not adequately use them a bill of rights may divert the rights and freedoms of Australians away from the non-bill common law developments hope this helps ^^
Can you be pardoned of a felony conviction in VA?
To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have been exonerated, acquited, or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth valid reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record.
FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: If your expungement is granted you will still remain subject to whatever restrictions state and federal laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). UNLESS - you are a resident of a state which completely or partially restores your "privileges" (you will have to do your own search to learn if this applies to your state).
FEDERALLY CONVICTED FELONS: CAUTION: Regardless of what rights your state may restore, if you were convicted in FEDERAL Court of a FEDERAL FELONY - it is a felony offense for a federally convicted felon to EVER own or possess a firearm. The U.S. Criminal Code, makes the penalty for illegal possession of a firearm a mandatory minimum of fifteen (15) years in prison, in some cases (Title 18 U.S.C. sec 924(e)(1). At this time FEDERALLY convicted felons have no solution to their firearm disqualification. By denying funding for the purpose, Congress has effectively eliminated the review of federally convicted felons' petitions for restoration of their firearms privileges.

What are the limitations of free speech?
The general rule about individual rights and freedoms are, my rights stop when it infringes upon your rights. You have a right to free speech, but you cannot threaten someone. That is considered criminal. You cannot speak untruths as you could be sued for defamation of character, complete with possible damages. You cannot insight a riot or other violent, possibly injurous behavior. You are basically telling someone to hurt or injure someone else. That too is considered criminal behavior.
So, as long as you confine your right to free speech to comments or conversations, without threatening violence, insighting riots or lies, you should be fine.
