You mean that stuff you read after I called you out? It's a step in the right direction I guess. I urge you to go slightly deeper than "The Daily Caller" though.

yah from Germany , i know what you mean. although the only real noticeable cut is that i can't officially watch most youtube videos containing popular music. Thats do to the n4zi organization GEMA that demand youtube pay them about 0.13 euro per click. these nut-jobs are the reason we Germans can't have nice things.
Stuff here is far from ideal, but 8 years is what an 18y/o gets for murdering his dad in affect.

Seriously...you're still harping on? Shocked And read what exactly lol your replies are starting to make as much sense as an orange with wings but anywho, as much as I would love to tango with you all day long, I have business to attend to, adios mon ami! Big smile

It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself.

It's even worse, it applies to copyrighted material too. Software like Nero is a perfect example of it for MP3s. It's draconian in what has to be done to protect copyrights. I can never buy that software again when it's essentially a rootkit and installs like one. Ugh

That's the internet if the powers-that-be wins. Rootkits for software. Bad enough in gaming we're forced to use things like Origin or Steam.

It happened in a discussion about LoL on Facebook, not in LoL itself.

Sad story but that video link is just awful.

It seems every second word is a curse word. Sure it fits some situation but when you use them as much as he does it just makes him sound dumb.

kids think on the web they can do what they want, they think its a place without law and order, if parents don't teach them, then they have to learn it the hard way... sure its bad for this one, but its an example where a lot of others will start thinking about the consequences... at some point the web has become a place without control, this will change, and its for the better

The "source" for the video didn't even have all the information correct. The incident happened on Facebook all the other news sources I looked it up on, not while he was playing the actual game. I stopped watching the video when the music started, but I did click on the link in the description, then Googled the kid's name, finding out the guy's source wasn't even correct in the video.

Yea, like a slap on the wrist and a firm talking to by a police officer. Not EIGHT ******* YEARS IN PRISON. Hearing stories like this I very often fear for the future of the human race.

Yes, cause I'm sure the countries all you people are soap boxing about are perfect. People these days have no respect for other countries. Your total lack of respect or honor is evident when you call a country like the US, 'Murica.




Do you honestly think he's going to get 8 years? He's not. Stop being over dramatic.

Well, I guess next time someone convo him and says stupid stuff about pixels he will just block them or ignore stupid.

Sometimes it's well worth to learn when to STFU, yes this stuff is stupid but so is everything around us and the stupid societies we live in, deal with.

In this day and age, what with folks being shot in movie theaters and children at elementary schools, this type of comment must be taken in all seriousness.

Sorry, it's not even "funny ha-ha".

I would've reported it to the Police myself.

Too many people now with mental issues and too hard to tell who is legit or not.

So yes. I hope he serves as an example, the little Idiot...........

Really?

Because you know, in this game I often read more shite jokes and insults in local about Germans,Jews, Spanish and whatnot and you know from who?

Welp, respect is a two ways road, if more legal actions were taken against extreme words on the internet this fantastic tool would be less of the crap it is, polluted by random anonymous faceless people having no respect and bullying all go under the banner of "freedom of speech" and precisely because they feel untouchable.

Sure it's a hard and probably disproportionate legal action, but this should also make more internet nerds think a bit before opening their loud mouth to express hard feelings on the internet demanding respect but having none.

Petition signed to have him released. This is just one more example of the US gradually making it's way into the realm of the police state. It's been creeping up for the last decade and a half, but it's really kicked into high gear lately. Anyone who can say that things haven't gotten out of hand with people being prosecuted for such things has issues. If we locked up every person who ever made such a comment, I am quite certain that we'd have a very large percentage of the population in prison right now. It's got to stop.

Had to turn it off after the 40th F bomb, but saying **** like that to elicit a response got him a pretty good response.
