Law prof Eugene Volokh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Volokh) blogs about a US House of Representatives bill proposed by Rep. Linda T. Sanchez (http://lindasanchez.house.gov/) [WP] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_S%C3%A1nchez) and 14 others that could make it a federal felony to use your blog, social media like MySpace and Facebook, or any other Web media "to cause substantial emotional distress through 'severe, repeated, and hostile (http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_04_26-2009_05_02.shtml#1241122059)' speech".
Rep. Sanchez and colleagues want to make it easier to prosecute any objectionable speech through a breathtakingly broad bill that would criminalize a wide range of speech protected by the First Amendment. The bill is called The Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.1966:), and if passed into law (and if it survives constitutional challenge) it looks almost certain to be misused."

Which one? I have zombie computers in NJ, MX, CL, NZ, MY, HK, KR, JP, RU, and then the trail gets cold... :lol:
Yeah, sure, whatever.
Either ban me or stop hijacking my thread.

Or what?
I just asked you to act politely, that's all, why would you assume reprecautions?
Damn, same shock parody routine gets them every time...

It's not a copout, because nothing in my intended representation of this thread has changed.
And... My bad on the spelling. English is not my first language, and probably won't be my last. The tools I had didn't offer an accurate suggestion, and I've decided not to spend more than 5 seconds on this.
And didn't you just violate the stated code of conduct (http://bbs.freetalklive.com/index.php?topic=2182.0) by double-posting?

Not that I care, just pointing out your hypocrisy.

err....
new word????
Shaw - I'm done here. You should stick to editing videos. Winning online arguments without resorting to power or popularity isn't your strong suit.
err....

Yeah, it's synonymous with "I can't read or write all the sudden, but I'm gonna blame it on being a Russky rather than a drunk."
The attempt at government tyranny is *I'm Spartacus'd*. |
much too late for that.
>>>ghost of--------
expect several black suburbans w/ blacked-out windows & no lights, rolling up on your locale in the wee hours this eve.
i hope you won't be surpirised.
"GO GO GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!"
"Room Clear!"
"Kitchen Clear!"
"Bathroom Clear!"
"ON THE FUCKING FLOOR NOW, FAGGOT!"
"SUBJECT LOCATED IN BEDROOM CLOSET!"
"Queer is clear!"
and so, the mysterious disappearance of a one, alex libman, begins...
a man here, but not really here,
in the TWILIGHT ZONE
I see this thread as Libman's brand of civil disobedience. I like it. Everyone here knows he isn't serious, even the Feds.

Let him do it on your property, then. |
"English boychildren" are a liability, not an asset.
I'll deliver Conyers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Conyers) for free.
See, that's why I keep saying - you can't trust them big tubes! We need a whole freakin' mesh of underground waterflows for our sewage! P2P, Freenet, IRC fserv's, private WiFi darknets, the works! Spill, baby, spill! :twisted:
EDIT: Hey! I had to look that up (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Madeleine_McCann) and now I'm confused. We're talking about reciprocating the aggression initiated against us by politicians here! What does that little girl have to do with anything?!?
You are one deranged asshole! People who even joke about harming actual children deserve to be at least ostracized for life! People who actually do it - grrrrr! :x
Mostly they'll stand around near you and refuse to talk to you.
