Of course not. But your online attitude, is very poisonous. Not saying you're the only one. Can name at least another 10 members of this community with similar attitude.
Name them............................ bitch.
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

There's zero need for new legislation. Stalking and harassing online is well within the reach of current laws.

afaik the legislation just raises the maximum jail term to 2 years.

(note i dont give a crap about any right you think you have to be anon and abuse people neither do i really care for the other side im just posting why i think they are making the decision)

As for anonymity being a pillar of democracy sure your votes are anonymous but why do you think you have a right to say whatever you want to whoever you want anonymously? That has never been a major part of our culture afaik. Me and Heskey seem to have differing views on stuff but like normal people we can post and discuss them without making new secret accounts to threaten each others families ^^


Anyway its not like they are cracking down on random trolls or 99.9% of retards who use fake names on twitter so they can post opinions they are ashamed of :P. They are not going to go "ooh leshma and oberyn are mean to each other arrest them"

 Most of the people who have been targeted by the police have been long term stalker style abusers, If they had been sending threatening or stalkerish phone msgs the police would become involved too, Sure the police will make mistakes or go over zealous sometimes but that's why we have defence lawyers, the internet isn't some hallowed ground where anything goes. Hell Sky news confronted one women and she committed suicide because people found out the kind of sick shit she was saying.

If you cant put your name to your words and opinions then they are worthless. I will stand by my opinions on Europe etc if asked what i wont do is make a new account on a website to say them because i fear what people will think about me :D




Not that i care either way tbh it wouldn't bother me if some coward was trying to threaten me online and im not fighting for a side im just explaining the decision :D. liberal and pc tards are already trying to suck any kind of humour out of life with their screams of racism and sexism at every opportunity and id rather they focused on this <3

For fucks sake, this 43 years old dude has personalized action man figurine... they even wear similar clothes. He might not be guilty of possesing forbidden weaponry, but he certainly is one fucked up individual.

This can justify literally anything, though. Good luck having to rearrange your life in order to get a compensation. It's like saying "I'm buying this shit product but there's a warranty so everything is fine".

I was expecting to read that the police had beaten and tasered that man and maybe even shot his toy dog...then I realized it was a different country.

This thread was a good early morning toilet read, made me drop a brick (that was too solid due to too much meat yesterday) easy.

If this laws would kill threads like this and Oberyn/Leshma duels I say fuck em and their law!
And now he can't play because of "common sense" and he doesn't understand how this common sense works

Well, there's a debate to be had because clearly no solution is going to make everyone happy. Slippery slope arguments work both ways, sure, but I can't see why exactly is 2 years in prison better than 3 or 6 months. Better yet, out of the 3 people that this might impact, they will still not actually go to prison (or so I assume)?
