The "teenager repellant" guy sounds more like some sick bastard who thinks all teenagers are annoying drains on society than a person even remotely deserving of ANY prize, with the possible exception of The "Marquis De Sade medal for being a donkey"
Look, we all hate spammers, but doesn't this seem a little nuts? A felony charge AND being sued by people? That'll ruin someone's life.
Plus, they were AOL CUSTOMERS. No one cares about AOL customers.
I don't understand the point in this. Bush will still hate it because he's afraid of science, and the embryos that are "saved" will just be thrown away.
Easy: I delete my entire call record also. I prefer to think of it of having a healthy fear of an organization that can ruin your life if you make a wrong decision.
This is stupid. That's the only word for it. Schools are run by the most arrogant, underqualified, overblown, jerks ever to walk this earth. Trust me on this one, I've been forced to deal with a principle and a bunch of kids for racism. Know why? I used the word "serf". I will telll my kid that if the school wants to search his phone, tell them to get a warrant. If they say the can anyway, tell them to take a hike and refuse. DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO TO PREVENT THEM FROM VIOLATING YOUR RIGHTS. I've got a huge bonus over almost any other person: I have no internet trail that could be traced back to me. I use 7 different computers, at varying times, I have no myspace or similar place account, and I store no contacts in my cell phone. The only thing that could concieveably be traced back to me is my photobucket account. Not to mention that if a kid throws a punch at my kid, I'll tell him to do what he needs to short of killing or maiming the kid to get him to stop attacking him. If the school tries to suspend him, I'll say quite a few rude words then tell them I'm taking my kid out of school.
Not like I've had a bad experience with the education system...
You say he was probably an awful student who cursed at his teachers? Nope. Read the article he had "no previous disciplinary problems"
Bottom Line: Human Being > Ape > Teacher > Slug > Student
Any questions?
So...their policy is that if a kid threatens the school as a joke, their response is to GIVE him a reason to hate the school?
The student is a loser. It's probably due to the thing schools teach students nowadays about danger, which is: "If your friend does anything out of the norm, he/she (almost always he, because most teachers are biased...) is a dangerous mentally disturbed loner who can easily acquire firearms and other weaponry.
The teacher is overreacting. Kids say things like "I'm gonna kill you" or "I'm gonna beat you up" on a daily basis. If a 10-year old can deal with it, a 20+ year old should to. When I was in school, I got passed pictures of me being run through with a sword. It's not THAT big a deal people...
I am tired of this mindless garbage. Wacko Jacko clearly fed Kathleen Blanco some of the venom of a blowfish, which if it is of the right kind turns you into a zombie, which is in fact the origin of the zombie legend. But that is not the point, the point is that Jacko Thompson is an idiot.
The only thing worse than the rabid anti-fun lobby is some of the gamers themselves. I'm talking about those nutjobs who say, lay waste to a greater metropolitan area and claim GTA made them do it. No, GTA had nothing to do with it. You played GTA because you had violent tendencies (This is an isolated example, I am not generalizing those who play such games) then because your parents are total idiots they didn't notice that you had, say, a assault weapon in your room, so then they are sure they aren't at fault because hey, it's not like they KNEW that GTA was violent OR that an assault weapon was designed to be, you know, a weapon, so they sue Rockstar, and the moronic judge who was paid about $300 by Jack Thompson, doesn't do the smart thing (Laugh the case out of court) and instead takes them perfectly seriously. The only thing worse is the fact that most Jurors are, with all due respect (None whatsoever) total freaking morons who wouldn't convict a celebrity if he had shot at them, critically wounding 3, in the past 5 minutes. They wouldn't convict him while he was still pointing the weapon at them. So why should they convict some average joe. Frankly, I don't understand the point of even having a judicial system, the media is what really tries people these days, so maybe if we just got a little sense knocked back into us, got ourselves out of the half-brained culture of compensation, and told Jack Thompson to take a hike, the cast the dark ring of deceit, forged by Hillary Clinton when she's fishing for votes, tempered in the dark ichor that the judges of suing video game companies have for blood, and finally wielded by Jack Thompson, allowing him to bypass his own intelligence for evil....
We must cast this ring into the fires of mount doom, and while we're at it, let's push in Wacko Jacko while we're at it.
This is insane. I agree with the "can you molest me now? Good." comment, this is just going to help illegal use of this system. Some wacko can and will buy an extra one and stick it in his girlfriend's car. Also, kids can just leave them at home or put them in their parent's pockets (my god! little timmy is right on me...HE'S UNDER THE HOUSE!!!)
Urg, Jack Thompson is merely the current incarnation of the lady who started BADD or Jack Chick. Their nuts, and they go on a vendetta against people who are obviously smarter than them (I.E. Everyone). I find Jack Thompson to be a vile excuse for a human being.
Speaking of which, does anyone know if 9 foot long leeches are a cure for insanity? If so, I recommend Jack Thompson's psychiatrist (And I pity him) prescribe them.
Erg...This has got to be the most appalling border protection idea yet. This is ALL immigrants? This is like something the nutjob minutemen would come up with.

According to a recent supreme court ruling, CGI/drawn images of children are protected by the 1st amendment
Admittedly, this game is disgusting and puerile, but it is protected by free speech.

So they would prefer AMERICAN CITIZENS to die if it doesn't work instead of others? What kind of crap is that?

I see no mention of a search warrant. They were under no obligation to let him do anything.
