It's an interesting angle that I hadn't considered. I'd have to know whether there is another law that covered it though. If there is then this law wo...
I'm only talking about written or verbal threats. I presume the case you mentioned would be covered under a different law. Maybe @"Hanover" can let us...
I appreciate your concern but there are none (although if I had known that my rhetorical strategy would cause this amount of diversion I wouldn't have...
We have our own standards for what is acceptable in terms of free speech and they are outlined in the guidelines and in the terms of service (as menti...
There is no offending material. There are two posts quoted below which were used to make a rhetorical point, which is not only obvious in context but ...
As amusing as all this is, I'm not interested in any laws I may have contravened in foreign countries by using a rhetorical device in a conversation h...
That's not the point at all. Besides, would you consider yourself to be breaking the law if you promoted homosexuality here (against the law in Uganda...
That's partly my point. That people can be arrested and jailed for long periods for making what look like threats online but are not actually actions ...
The problem is it's on the books and then you're at the mercy of the judge. All I'm saying is it shouldn't be on the books. Plus, yes, a little ridicu...
I hope this gives you enough ammo to go away and complain to whoever will listen because I'm not interested in doing anything except debating the actu...
"Uttering threats 264.1 (1) Every one commits an offence who, in any manner, knowingly utters, conveys or causes any person to receive a threat ... (c...
No, you're not. See above. Just as Chinese people aren't entitled to demand you be imprisoned for insulting the Communist party, you're not entitled t...
It does matter very much, I'm not under the jurisdiction of the bad laws that apply in other countries. So, for example, I can criticize the Chinese c...
People get angry and say things they may or may not mean at the time. That doesn't give them the right to threaten anyone. However, the state shouldn'...
Note too that genuinely threatening to do something doesn't make you a genuine threat. The law doesn't even require you be any actual threat at all on...
Seeing your edit now, including the details of the law, it's more encompassing and, in fact, significantly worse than I thought. Merely intending to s...
Your faith in America's justice system exceeds mine. And no offense to Texas but it's not somewhere I would ever want to be tried for anything. All th...
You can disregard my approach to the argument, which is deliberately colorful in any case. What you cannot disregard is the fact that you can be jaile...
I'm not going to kill any children I promise. I am going to kill Buxtebuddha though and after I do, decapitate him and send his head to you by pony ex...
You need a detailed explanation of why 10 years in prison might be a disproportionate punishment for writing a Facebook post that bothered some people...
The quality of the GH3 is higher actually because it has a larger sensor. +You can get a better lens for low light later, like the 20mm F1.7 Panasonic...
For around 500USD: Best for portability: Sony RX100 IV Best for zoom: The FZ1000 Best for Video: The GH3 Best for image quality: Sony A6000 Best for p...
Forget the Canon. Both Panasonics are good. The GH3 is slightly better for video and the FX1000 isn't actually a DSLR (it's a "bridge" camera) and is ...
I haven't seen anything more accurate than simply tracing the bubble curve above, which I've been using as a predictive mechanism since the price took...
Just follow the bubble curve. Bitcoin is pixie dust. It's worth whatever people expect it to be worth. Personally, I expect it to fatefully follow the...
Say what you like about Trump, at least he's good for the economy. Lol. The thing about looting and bankrupting a country is that you don't get to sta...
We very well may get banned in China at some point anyway. Their loss. They've got nothing on me seeing as I've escaped the place. But let propaganda ...
