EVE online better watch out because alot of us are always posting similar sh*t in local or somewhere. Apparently sarcasm is dead to the world now.

What's your verdict on sarcasm in EVE people?

EDIT: If you don't want to watch the youtube vid, links to the news article are in the description. I just find AlphaOmegaSin's reaction brilliant, and it pretty much mirrors my own view on the topic.


A follow-up post is in order. Spoke with the police liason officer with the Governors office. Very polite and helpful. Learned that bail is set very high. This is curious and maybe a red flag.

The case is being handled by the District Attorney of Comal County TX. Called them. They can not comment on the case.

Their phone number is : 830-221-1300.

I just expressed by concern as a parent of a teenager.

Yeah, they don't even care if the "offender" has the mental capacity of a preschooler.

I may be sitting at home right now in private, but this discussion is VERY public.


You are correct, and that is both a blessing and a curse. All I can do is speak out in hopes of lightening the curse aspect. I feel the way I do, because I have been where that guy is right now, just without the jail aspect. Some people don't know how to take sadistic humor, and that has caused me more than one problem. Do some people dislike me for the things I say? I'm sure they do. Does that really affect me? Not at all. However, as soon as I have police kicking in my door over a joke that put no one in direct harm's way (unlike where the smartass pointed out the "fire" in an airport example earlier, as that causes panic, and panicked people are much like panicked cattle), then something has gone very wrong in someone mind, and it isn't my own.


And how often don't we see some news about a shooting at a school by a displeased student or former student who often have mentioned it on some forum before actually doing it? I'm certain parents are quite pleased the police didn't just dismiss this as he probably doesn't mean it.

Yes, because we don't normally see "whoa...didn't see that one coming" responses from everyone who knew a person before they went apeshit. It's one thing when someone has actually laid out plans, and professed them to others (as was the case with the Columbine shooting). It's something totally different when it's a one-off comment to some random who was picking at the person to begin with. There seem to be two kinds of true nutjob out there: those who plot and scheme and never tell a soul, and those who give small leaks of information the whole time they are preparing for something . 'Going to shoot up my school and eat still beating hearts lol' doesn't strike me as either.

That is the thing though, it is only "working as intended" by the asshat who came up with "private prison industry".

It should remain the onus of the State to execute or rehabilitate those within the corrections system.

Then again, what do I know, I'm for bringing back public execution and broadcasting it on PBS, maybe if people see the graphic consequences of misbehaving on a criminal scale, they'd think twice about doing it.

Yep, and growing under private ownership. They'll get a pretty penny for ruining this family's life. When there is a profit to be made from locking people up the laws will get wacky. This case isn't uncommon. Where I live a judge was just arrested and sent to the pokie for taking money from the prison company to give out maximum sentances. He showed no remorse and his defense was that it was no different than taking a "finders fee".

He's in jail (and probably court by now), not prison.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Correct me if I am wrong, but she didn't even tell the girl to kill herself right?

She just said a bunch of mean **** that caused the girl to kill herself right?

If that is the case, I'm surprised more people aren't walking on eggshells (or if they are, I'm curious how bad it'd be if they weren't)

Pretty much, that girl was most definitely not an Eve player.

If she had been there could have been 2 outcomes...

1) Nothing

2) She would have made her suicide awesome
