Damn personal rights being jacked

[Ug45]

Here's a chance to take back some personal rights FOR FREE! Please send an email to the Oklahoma State University Police Department here. Tell them to please stop taking computers away from students that might or might not be transfering mp3s to other anonymous parties, and let them get back to getting educated so they can invent new software to aid in the free distribution of everything. Capitalism says that we all have an equal opportunity to get rich, but also that we must freely deal with competition in any form.

Thanks guys...remember that our personal rights come before any contract/copyright bs...

If transfering MP3s violates the schools policy then tough sh!t, it's their own fault. They shouldn't be wasting the schools bandwidth.

Tell that to yourloan officer when applying for a mortgage or 350lb cellmate named Bubba who wants to be your special friend.

Personal right to what? Break the law? Moron.

Well, here's a little clue for our less than genius friend: Even if I were so inclined, I sure as hell wouldn't send an eMail to a police department making demands based on nothing more than the word of some twerp who popped in to a forum.

Really, with backwards ass reasoning like that it's a mystery how you got into college Ug45.

You effectively give up your rights when you violate the law, or a private institutions policies.

I could be wrong, but I think you guys may have taken a joke a little too seriously...

This post seems to dumb to be earnest.

osu already has sh1tty bandwidth to begin with...snatch those computers up! anyone ever see the dorms up there? really really fscking nasty...

To all who think that the original post was to be taken seriously...CALM DOWN!!!!!! This was simply a test of the newly updated automatic flame response system...a test...only a test...

If I actually wish to make an arguement, I would have done so...not just blindly bitched. The only argument I do wish to make is that YES, it is perfectly legal to send emails to the pd...after all they are here for our benefit and need watchdogs too.

Have a good night all...and watch those stress levels

Viper,

Nice of you to hand him an out.

Russ...

Maybe, maybe not. If I'd thought he was serious, my first post would have been serious rather than a joke.

My first instinct was to flame him, but once I re-read it I realized that the thread was simply flame bait.

COME ON GUYS...I know there are more opinions out there, let's hear more tyrannical flaming and debating. Some of us are actually interested in what real users think about this type of occurence.

This was simply a test of the newly updated automatic flamer banning system. It searches our forums for posts intendes to draw flames and bans the member. If it is working correctly, the next paragraph will simply say, &quot;Good-by.&quot;

Good-by.
