Don't call me braindead folks, I knew this along time ago, but it bears rementioning--

If you make a threat of any kind, or say anything about what you will do to anyone, even if you just said it in a fit of rage, you are held liable to that comment for pretty much the rest of your life.

People take each other's words way too damn seriously. And we judge one another way too damn seriously. Ex: If you talk about how much you dislike someone, and it becomes public knowledge that you dislike them, and later something bad happens to them, you are the first to be blamed, and perhaps prosecuted depending on the situation.



PS: By the way, if you flame me in this thread, I'll kill you.

While I agree it is unfortunate, you also have to think of the opposite- what if people were never held responsible for what they said? The world is much better off doing what we do now as opposed to that.

meh, or we could just hold people responsible as long as we had a little thing called PROOF.

How about that crazy notion? :)

The search for proof starts with motive.

Agreed, and it is almost a "blue moon" occurrence when someone is tried on motive/something they said alone, if it EVER happens.

luckily thats how our justice system works. usually the final result is that people cant be tried on something that they say alone.

now.. unfortunately society doesnt work that way.. people are considered guilty for someone elses misfortunes, if they dislike that person.

socially, they will be blacklisted.

Ok stalker guy.... lemme get this straight... you threatened someone with physical harm?... It was in a fit of rage... and then this same person came to harm?

Ummmm yeah that makes you a prime suspect, and the way you've talked on here... I bet you did it.

Psycho...

You ask the most boneheaded question... when you threaten someone, and scare them... you're already in the wrong... When you put yourself in the "wrong" you set yourself up to be screwed.... period.

You come off as a very scary guy, not stupid... scary... do you understand scary?... do you understand that, that is how you come off?... SCARY...

For some odd reason you post here so people can berate you... you're some kind of Massochist... I don't understand it... but you need to stop... really.

You know what happens when you start putting labels on people? You increase the odds, that they will become more like the label you are giving them.

For some odd reason you post here so people can berate you... you're some kind of Massochist... I don't understand it... but you need to stop... really.
I post here in hopes that I might enlighten the IQ of this forum, some day.
