I know I've been kinda kidding with all this, but actually, I don't agree with her. She should've sentenced the kid to rehab rather than slapping him on the wrist and passing a generalization like that. Her job is to judge a case based on the facts and by interpreting the law and sentencing accordingly. Her opinion is irrelevant. However,.. this ain't nuthin. You think this is bad? Just wait until George Bushes new supreme court gets going.Quote:

I wonder if they were kidding?
I'm just trying to figure out why a java console opens up when I go to this site now. What's up with that?
I thought you used Firefox?
I will say this: this site has been slowing down today like a few other sites we know, if you know what I mean. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif I got so frustrated that I turned off my f/w, closed other windows, etc...trying to see if it was my pc or connection. But no: all other sites load great. So, I don't know. DG is missed though. What was it that Cobra said? https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gif
I do use Firefox. Am I missing something? Will FF magically make the Java Console not turn on?Quote:

Because as we launched ourselves into this new world of technology, we assumed it had the same foundation of bricks and mortar that we find in the real world.
Folks lie all the time in real life, every god damned minute they are at it, with ommission or slight re-writes etc etc, most folks aren't honest with themselves, never mind everybody else ! Now let them loose online with a whole load more folks behaving this way & a whole load more who know folks behave this way & might play along for entertainment & what have you got ?
WINDRIVERS ! :devil: & don't tell me there aren't loads of mental cases here - because there are, I talk to you for a start & you talk to ME ! :grin:
I still agree with this guyQuote:

Since I have been playing around online though, I have seen/read many of these people though, and now with Blogs everywhere, sweet jeebus they are coming out of the woodworks in an anonymous playground of their own creation
Um, -ed, you do realize that the "Judge" made the following naive proclamation, not I, right?Quote:

Life has all sorts of folk a proportion of which she sees in court day after day.The internet is built and based on human intellect and moral standards so why should it not shadow life honesty,crookery and all.Next you`ll be freeing car thieves cause they didnt get dinky toys at kindergarten :p
You have to admit that committing yourself to a life of celebacy is not a normal human function and could therefore be considered a mental issue.Quote:

We seem to be having a slight diversion or is that some re-cod(e)ing ?, by having a whale of a time pun-ishing ourselves, with fishing tails !

Meaning if you were nutz in the first place, exposure to such things will only make you worse, but its not the cause, its merely something which allows any symptoms to be more evident ..
HAAAA!! Good un!Quote:

I think the Internet does have a tendency to cloud people's judgement, especially if that wasn't their strong suit to begin with. It does take a lot of willpower to keep the Internet from taking over your life, even if you are perfectly normal.
Innocence has its own nievity in many ares.
A new PC user has to grow up and learn like a new driver where class one is learning not to drive on the motorway without knowing how to read the road signs.
