interesting...but, for some reason, kids think you can say what you want over the internet and get away with it. Well, think of the internet like the telephone. If you constantly harass someone on the phone, authorities can get involved. So, if you get online and threaten people, harass them in a harmful way, or do anything like that, then the person being harassed has legal right and precedent to make a case out of it. Most things said don't amount to more than "fuck you, blah blah I cud kick ur ass". But, I had one occasion where someone actually threatened to meet me at the store up the street where I live and end my life...blah blah...some homophobic closet case on a different site who knows I'm gay...Now, techinically, I could report that. He doesn't have the right to say what he wants just because it's the internet. However, he probably needs more mental help than incarceration. Free speech has never truly been free. But, I think it's free for the most part. I can say FUCK BUSH and not worry about getting beheaded, shit like that.
