  1. I want more value for my money! by Walkiry · · Score: 1, Funny

    It'd be much better if that money could buy me time alone with the spammer that sent me the mail, in a basement. I'll bring my own cane. If they could guarantee I'd get that every time someone spams me I'd pay a buck per mail and not even blink.

  2. I've got the solution... by nathanh · · Score: 1, Funny

    The problem with all these spam preventing ideas is that they don't get to the root of the problem; the spammers. I have a foolproof solution.

    Capital punishment.

    Simply kill the spammers. Send spam? Instant death. No jury. No judge. Maybe the spammers can be the first to appreciate the benefits of "Real Cheap Life Insurance" when they're frying on the electric chair.

    Don't moderate me funny. I'm not joking.
