Be Careful What You Say ON THe Internet

"These Judges must die," is a statement covered by the first ammendment?

Uh, no. It's enciting an act of murder. Not covered...

Is it okay to say that you hope someone will kill their self? Or that you want two people to kill each other?

You are ok with the first, and the second would probably depend on the context of the conversation.

Why would you wish either, much less want to have a serious conversation on a blog about it? (rhetorical)

Murder? I know his demeanor wasn't exactly in good nature but I seem to have missed that part...

If he had of used the term" in my opinion" he probably would have been fine, I cannot remember the case but a fed judge ruled everyone has a right to their opinion. Case dismissed.

It was an exceedingly foolish thing to say. Saying it on the internet really sealed it.

The authorities react harshly to anything that looks like a death threat, especially if the person belongs to a different political group. When its also a public emotional situation - really watch your phraseology! After Columbine, some teen trash talked on an online bulletin board he went to jail.

I assume most everybody here owns guns. If we say bad stuff about somebody it can very quickly be seen as a threat. At work I really watch my mouth and watch my email even closer. My trash talk there is pretty much, "He is really an unpleasant person." of "I question his competence." When I great really mad I say, "I hope his life is filled with lawyers."

Definition of PC.

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

I am gonna print that out and hang it up at the office!! That is funny.

And please no more wookie pics guys my stomach cant take it.

Start looking up "Incitement to Violence".

Basically what this guy did was threaten their lives. If you do that, you get in a little trouble, and rightfully so. Same as if somebody threatened you with death you could easily get a restraining order against them. There was a case where a guy threatened to kill somebody and just showed up at the same place as the person they threatened, unintentionally I believe. The threatener was killed and the person that shot them got off because they were using self defense solely based on the fact that they had been threatened earlier. I'm looking for the case but can't find it right now.

You can't openly call for someone's murder and expect for it to be all rainbows and unicorn farts.

Someone once posted a link to a blog that is like 200 pages long of 100's of pictures of protesters with signs saying stuff like "I'm here to kill Bush." "I want Bush to die." and other very obvious things like that and no one ever did anything to any of those people. What is the difference?
