Facebook and cell phones follow you into your own home. Clearly the girl didn't feel she had any other option, so why are you so quick to assume she wasn't being stalked? This has nothing to do with free speech.
And eugenics is just a euphemism. Hitler had a "eugenics" program. What is genocide supposed to mean? Killing people with a certain genotype. That's exactly what we're talking about.
What I want is the freedom to speak. To express myself.
Unless you express yourself with physical violence, though, right? You don't even agree with your own tenet unless you think that freedom of speech only applies to verbal speech. Maybe some people want freedom from people like you. And why shouldn't they have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?" At least that's the founding ideology in the country I live in.
It might not strictly be her parents. Not every parent has to deal with a sociopath child. And that's more likely a genetic cause. You could argue that every parent should be ready to handle a sociopathic child, but certainly most parents don't have to. On the other hand, it could be directly caused by abuse and harassment from her parents that made her this way. We don't know and we can't say.
No. That was not the aggravated stalking the article talks about. First of all, there's no stalking to speak of - it's a standalone comment. Second, even I'm missing some history and it was stalking, it didn't result in anyone's death.
And you know what happens when someone physically injures someone in the real world? They get arrested for it. The rules are just poorly applied in school. Maybe verbal/emotional abuse aren't in the same category. I didn't say they were - I said that some forms should still be crimes.
Why do you so badly want legal free reign to stalk/harass people?
Says the person who was never emotionally abused or built a mental wall to prevent it. Maybe it's because "she's a girl" or maybe it's because she has a different brain structure.
Are you stalking some poor girl and that's why you can't stand for that to be a crime? Stalking/harassment have a reason to be a crime. Or maybe you just have Stockholm Syndrome.
These girls words followed the suicidal girl EVERYWHERE she went. Even going home didn't get her away.
But it's only a felony because it resulted in a death. The aggravated portion of the charge is what makes it a felony.
I feel this is a behavioral bump in the road that may disappear as my generation becomes the parental generation.
And I think that it's the same as things have always been except thanks to Facebook we know why the suicide happened. Before Facebook, these were mysteries to the parents and families - but there's suddenly a digital trail.
And that's exactly what a lot of Americans who don't abuse the system were already doing. Until I got group insurance from my employer, I couldn't even afford to insure and I wasn't able to go to a doctor for 5 years or so. An exception or two when I needed antibiotics and could afford to or had to rack up credit card debt - otherwise I couldn't afford health maintenance in any form at all.
You got me there. I think the individual mandate was such a horrible trampling on the Constitution that I foresee it being used as precedence for all sorts of nasty future laws. I'm all for public healthcare, but not being forced to make a private purchase.
When Obamacare was voted in, I was in a financial state (lots of debt) where I was making enough money (gross pay) that my fines for not buying insurance would be fairly steep but I couldn't afford either insurance or even the fine. I realize that if public healthcare were voted in my taxes might go up a similar amount, but possibly not - because everyone would be paying into that. Even the ones who have their own private insurance now.
As I used to. My previous ISP blocked port 25 outbound which is fine, since there were so many spam bots out there. My current one is blocking port 25 inbound, which is just plain pointless. Thankfully, Google Apps were still free and I'm using them as a glorified port redirector.
You were saying low-volume and you have no control over inbound - so I made the likely assumption. Of course technically outbound email is a client connection, but most of that's usually done by MTA servers acting as clients and the email clients are connecting via a non-standard port anyway.
And it takes really good software to mimic directional cues for forward and behind, even though the ear is capable of detecting it. It exists - if you ever heard the A3D demos before they were bankrupted. But it's much easier to just use 4 speakers and let your ears do it.
Kind of pointless these days to run a mail server on a consumer connection anyway. No major email delivery system trusts IP's that are known to be dynamically assigned (easily determined by reverse DNS patterns).
That's what you pay with group insurance - where your eligibility and rates are set by you being part of a large and diverse group. Insurance companies don't consider "the entire US" as a group, and now the individual rate is even higher than signing up as an individual was before the mandate. The assumption by insurance companies is that if you decide to sign up for insurance outside of a group plan, it's because you are expecting a major medical expense.
If only we had a congress full of people who often disagree but at least respect each other. That lack of respect is just turning our lawmaking process into an arrogant power struggle - "I'm right and you're just stupid."

No wonder the other girl killed herself if that's how their messages looked like.
Sociopaths don't know shame or remorse.

What makes you so sure?

Subpoena Facebook for the IP address it was submitted from to link it to a subscriber address. Check her alibi for the same time period.

She was getting it just as much offline, too.
Mass genocide is the answer? Are you sure you're not the sociopath?
I already have group insurance now - how can I "boycott it" and show support for all the people that can't afford either insurance or the fine?

A lot of servers will even do plain text over 587 and 80 and 8080 and 2525.
Except now many ISP's won't even relay mail that isn't from the ISP domain.

So you're the one that's claiming that old xkcd comics are so passé, but you're calling them the hipster?
I was telling people things were no longer cool before it was cool.

AND THEY LOST.
But only by a few percent of the popular vote. This is a great cultural divide that can't be bridged by bullying on either side.

You have to search the job listings at the insurance providers. They're the ones who make the call on who is worth spending the money on saving.
