Cyberbullying Bill Not About Protecting Kids, It is About Shutting Down the Opposition

Arianna Huffington, the liberal darling in bed with the globalist George Soros by way of the Bermuda-based Atlantic Philanthropies, has posted an article on her website penned by Rep. Linda Sánchez, the Democrat congress critter from California. Sánchez is behind the so-called Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act, an effort to impose draconian regulations on the internet.

Megan Meier, a thirteen year old from Dardenne Prairie, Missouri, killed herself in response to “cyberbullying” on MySpace. It later came out that Megan was harassed by Lori Drew, the mother of a former friend. A federal grand jury indicted Drew on May 15, 2008, on three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress, and one count of criminal conspiracy. She was found guilty on three lesser charges.
For Sánchez and the co-sponsors of this bill the conviction is not enough. They want the full coercive weight of the government behind a law that will punish people for the crime of “cyberbullying” on the internet.
“When so-called child’s play turns hostile and a child becomes a victim, it is time to act,” writes Sánchez on Huffpo. “When so-called free speech leads to bullies having free-reign to threaten kids, it is time to act. The Supreme Court recognizes that in some instances words can be harmful. For example, you cannot falsely yell ‘FIRE’ in a crowded theater. If you say it even once you can be held liable. Yet, you can repeatedly emotionally abuse someone with words, pictures, and false impressions online and get away scot-free.”
On April 30, law professor and blogger Eugene Volokh addressed the draconian nature of Sánchez’s bill. Volokh underscores the following language contained in the bill:
Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication, with the intent to coerce, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress to a person, using electronic means to support severe, repeated, and hostile behavior, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both….
["Communication"] means the electronic transmission, between or among points specified by the user, of information of the user’s choosing, without change in the form or content of the information as sent and received; …
["Electronic means"] means any equipment dependent on electrical power to access an information service, including email, instant messaging, blogs, websites, telephones, and text messages.
Volokh proposes a couple hypothetical situations in regard to the language in the bill:
I try to coerce a politician into voting a particular way, by repeatedly blogging (using a hostile tone) about what a hypocrite / campaign promise breaker / fool / etc. he would be if he voted the other way. I am transmitting in interstate commerce a communication with the intent to coerce using electronic means (a blog) “to support severe, repeated, and hostile behavior” — unless, of course, my statements aren’t seen as “severe,” a term that is entirely undefined and unclear. Result: I am a felon, unless somehow my “behavior” isn’t “severe.”
(…)
A newspaper reporter or editorialist tries to do the same, in columns that are posted on the newspaper’s Web site. Result: Felony, unless somehow my “behavior” isn’t severe.
“The examples could be multiplied pretty much indefinitely,” writes Volokh. “The law, if enacted, would clearly be facially overboard (and probably unconstitutionally vague), and would thus be struck down on its face under the First Amendment. But beyond that, surely even the law’s supporters don’t really want to cover all this speech.”
It is less than clear supporters of the bill “don’t really want to cover all this speech.”
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
Obama Democrats are busy at work formulating “diversity of ownership” rules at the Federal Communications Commission, considered by opponents to be a back-door effort to revive the so-called Fairness Doctrine. “The left has reached the conclusion that the political price to pay for reinstating the Fairness Doctrine is too high, so now they’re looking at these new means,” Seton Motley, director of communications for the Media Research Center, told Fox News earlier this week. The current chairman of the committee, Henry Rivera, has been singled out for his past support of the measure when he was a commissioner of the FCC from 1981-1985. The doctrine died in 1987, only after Rivera left the FCC.
Democrats and their liberal partisans have repeatedly called for their opponents to be silenced by the government. A rather blatant example of this occurred after Richard Poplawski killed Pittsburgh police officers in April. Daily Kos, Media Matters, and other liberal partisan outlets, orchestrated by the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center, launched a virulent campaign attempting to link Alex Jones to the deranged killer. They argued that “rightwing conspiracy theories” led directly to violence and the murder of cops.
Steve Rendall, FAIR’s senior analyst, notes “that over-the-air broadcasting remains the most powerful force affecting public opinion” and declares “broadcasters ought to be insuring that they inform the public, not inflame them. That’s why we need a Fairness Doctrine. It’s not a universal solution. It’s not a substitute for reform or for diversity of ownership. It’s simply a mechanism to address the most extreme kinds of broadcast abuse.” FAIR, short for Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, is funded by the Rockefeller Family Fund, the MacArthur Foundation, the Schumann Foundation, and the Ford Foundation, so we can assume they influence the sort of “diversity of ownership” pushed by FAIR.
The Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act has nothing to do with protecting children. It is all about whittling away the First Amendment and tricking Democrats and so-called “progressives” into supporting tyranny. Obama’s packing of the FCC with “diversity” activists has nothing to do with making sure minorities have a say in local media dominated by mega-corporations certainly not interested in genuine diversity. It is about making sure alternative media is not only hobbled and fearful — under penalty of law — of hurting the feelings of protected minorities or school children on MySpace without adult supervision. It is about shutting down all opposition.

I fully expect that one second after this travesty has been passed, Alex Jones will be at the court-house swearing out a complaint of cyber-bullying against Daily Kos, Media Matters, the ADL and Southern Law Center.
Btw, what are the underlying laws?
We have had hate-speech laws here in Canada for a while already – and they ARE a totalitarian crock of shit… but what I mean is – in Canada the Truth is not a defence against Hate Speech – what constitutes hate speech is how it makes others feel.
So, I might be able to rant and rail about Asian’s having black hair, but, if talking about Asian’s black hair makes ONE Asian uncomfortable, he could file hate speech charges against me with the Human Rights Tribunal – which is a Kangaroo Court that does not follow the rules of the law, and so far, has a 100% conviction rate. Go figure, when you make every definition so wide you could drive a semi through it, that a bunch of vindictive bitches in the HRT’s can find a way to convict you anything they wish.

I believe everyone has a right to be offended, but when governments regulate and create laws to protect offended people is when society will begin to fail. People are always offended so you can imagine how it will be when a society begins social engineering.

Interesting that Oprah just had a major tear-jerker of a show about… bullying! Adolescents had committed suicide over the amount of bullying they were subjected to. Oprah teary through most of the show. A real barn burner…. Amazing – timed right with this new bill… is it not?

History is virtually littered with examples of civilization being destroyed by its own stupidities and never ever did an invading army could totally destroy any civilization.
The Buddist were killed in tjhousands and millions in India, but they moved on to find asylum in Far East.
Muslis were being butchered by Gengis Khan’s army, but they survived.
Heretirics were killed by the millions by the Inquisition, but they survived
On the contrary Roam was destroyed by its own mistakes. The British Raj ended due to its over ambitious.
Have we learned any lesson? Far from it, we are repeating the same mistakes.
Freedom of speach and freedom of thinking has always been the enemy of the ruling class, otherwise Socretise did not have to die of drinking Hamlog

“Freedom of speach and freedom of thinking has always been the enemy of the ruling class, otherwise Socretise did not have to die of drinking Hamlog”
Well, you may not have had much of an education, but you sure made me laugh!
Like I said – it’s the JEWS. Soon it will be illegal to criticise JEWS in any way – punishable by imprisonment for seven years. Then, of course, they are absolutely free to do whatever the hell they want to US, because to criticise their crimes against us would land you in prison for seven years.
Totalitarianism.

The title of the article describes it best. The bill will be abused to clamp down on opposition or opposing points of view.
One of the biggest problems of this bill is how do you tell what the writer’s intentions are ? The political posting to get a vote a certain way is a good example. Better yet how do we know if a person is really feeling harrassed or just disagrees ?
May 7th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
“Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication, with the intent to coerce, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress to a person, using electronic means to support severe, repeated, and hostile behavior, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both….”

The point is,we all are for protecting Children,so any law should punish the parents first..EVERY PERSON I HAVE BLASTED OVER THE LAST 7 YEARS OR SO,I HAVE HAD NO IDEA HOW OLD THEY WERE OR WHAT THEIR MENTAL STATE WAS..IF YOU YANK MY TEETH,ALL YOU WILL HAVE LEFT ARE THE MENTAL LIMP WRISTED TURDS.

Does anybody realize the TRUE danger of this? Some schmuck could threaten so-called conspiracy theorists with false charges of “cyberbullying” for telling them that they believe 9/11, 7/7, Oklahoma City, and the JFK assassination were inside jobs.
George Bush said the terrorists attacked us because they hate our freedom. WAKE UP! The “terrorists” that Bush spoke of was and is the U.S. government! We were not attacked by al-Qaeda terrorists! We were attacked by AMERIKAN terrorists!

1) You have a CHOICE of how to respond if someone bullies, threatens, insults, intimidates, coerces or harasses you! You cac CHOSE to block them on myspace. You can CHOSE not to read their message. You can create a new account. You can report the harassment to myspace. If a child is old enough to be left unsupervised on the internet, then they are old enough to know this as well.
2) The only positive outcome of this, IF it were properly enforced,which we KNOW it won’t be, is maybe we won’t have to listen to politicians lie, coerce, insult and degrade their opposition at election time ! Obviously, that’s sarcastic, there could be no poitive outcome to such a blow to our consitutional rights! I’m just making the point that politicians are guilty of the very thing they seek to “protect” society from.
3) If we continue to feed this way of thinking: “You can’t do that/say that, it’s against the law! I’ll call the police, I’ll sue you!”; people will slowly become less able to think for themselves, defend themselves, rely on themselves, because, as always, big brother is there to do it for them.
4) We can’t allow them to enact new laws, every time an unfortunate thing happens. It”s awful this little girl did what she did, and it’s sickening that someone would punish a child with words. But it happens every day, and the result here is the exeption to the rule. This child may have had emotional or mental problems already, we don’t know the whole truth. It’s obviously an attempt to use a situation that tugs at our heartstrings to COERCE us into handing over a little more freedom.

This is not just directed at the poster, this is for all of you out there who disagree with the notion that blatant emotional abuse should be protected.
1) The idiots doing the bullying, threatening, insulting, intimidating, coercing and harassing had a CHOICE to simply *not* do it in the first place. They made the bad decision, they’re the ones that did something wrong, it is NOT the world’s responsibility to bend over and take it up the ass just because the rest of you want to be emotionally abusive rampaging blowhards and pull this persecution card every time someone calls you out on your behavior. If YOU’RE the one doing the bullying in the first place, the burden is on YOU to stop. It is YOUR fault. STOP trying to blame the victim for the evil shit that YOU do. STOP expecting the victim to do nothing and suffer from your actions. STOP STOP STOP.
2) You clowns would hope for that.
3) As if this doesn’t already happen anyway.
4) For one thing, it was an adult woman who drove a teenage girl with mental issues to suicide. Secondly, of course bullying happens every day; if it didn’t, bills like this wouldn’t be brought up in the first place.
Just because you brain-dead morons utilize another method of causing pain other than direct physical means does NOT change what you are doing. You are not “exercising your First Amendment rights”, you are not “dissenting”, you are not “expressing your opinion”, you’re hurting the people around you, causing them massive amounts of pain and you’re pissing all over the Constitution you claim to protect to try to justify targeting, stalking, harassing, bullying, and driving innocent people to therapy, suicide or homicide. Damage is damage and causing someone pain unjustifiably is causing someone pain unjustifiably. It’s still bad enough that it needs to be stopped. End of story.
Following someone around and coercing, threatening, browbeating or harassing them is NOT expressing an opinion or viewpoint. Bullying someone who did nothing to you with inane insults and observations of their personal flaws is NOT dissenting against them. Getting your friends to gang up on someone and do the same things to some poor schmuck is NOT exercising your First Amendment rights. No one is persecuting you just because people who are being emotionally abused and bullying are finally getting some sort of legal protection, and trying to claim that you *are* being “oppressed” because you might not get to humiliate that perfect little target of yours on Facebook is insulting to the people who actually ARE being oppressed by their governments. GET. THE FUCK. OVER YOURSELVES.
There is a fine line between making your voice heard and bullying someone. Know the difference.

Oops, shit, I forgot — before anyone decides to reiterate “WELL, THE VICTIM STILL HAS A CHOICE, NYAAAAAAAAAH”, one, no you don’t because not all sites have options like ignore features, and secondly, you shouldn’t fucking have to! You shouldn’t have to pick up and move because some asshole thinks it’s his God-given right to walk all the fuck over you. You shouldn’t have to hide away from life because one person thinks he or she can hurt anyone they want to, and really, if you really intend to survive in this world, you can’t. The one doing the bullying is the antagonist, it’s the ANTAGONIST that needs to change, NOT THE VICTIM.
And if you seriously want to argue that point, then what’s to stop someone from following you around, beating your ass and robbing you all the time? Let’s just let neighbors beat on their wives and children too; hell, it ain’t my business! Want to stab women in the face? Go nuts, it’s your God-given right to bring massive amounts of pain to the people around you; if you’re using a gun just cite the Second Amendment and you’re straight! It’s the same principle you all seem to want to defend so fervently; the only difference is that the wounds physical methods causes are external and noticeable, is that the only thing that bothers you about it? Are you going to trade one method of destroying someone for another simply because the other method isn’t noticeable thus making the damage it causes easier to ignore and deny? If you wouldn’t let someone who uses violence that, according to recent studies, isn’t as bad as emotional pain and only manifests superficially, then don’t seriously sit here and act like it’s ok to do the same thing to someone’s brain with a straight face.
Despite what you’ve been brainwashed into thinking, everybody has a right to be able to live on this Earth without being pushed out of it by the people around them. That’s why we have societies and governments in the first place. We give ourselves and each other that right because we need it in order to survive and be happy. You know this deep in your hearts; that’s why you’re here on Prison Planet in the first place. You know people don’t have a right to hurt one another unjustifiably.

To all my people,
I am going to sign this bill into law for the good of all you under me. You really aren’t smart enough to understand so I will pass this internet bill for your own good. Later I will write another bill having taxpayers pay for enforcement of the new law. We will need at least 50,000 more uniformed enforcers to remove your computers from your homes and take you away in handcuffs. This is all for your own good. After you’ve taken the rehabilitation classes you will see how wrong youv’e been, cyberbullying others and cursing online. Please send any donations in support of the bill to my office in Sacramento, Ca.

EXPOSED! Lets take a closer look at H.R. 1966, the anti free speech, anti 1st Amendment bill proposed by Linda Sanchez (D-CA)
5/6/2009: First lets look at the sponsors of this bill; and see just who got them elected! Click the names to see what “agenda’s” they answer to; makes for interesting reading!
Political donors to Linda Sanchez D-CA: Top 100 donors: https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cid=N00024870&cycle=2008&type=I&newMem=N&recs=100
Busted! Linda Sanchez took $8,000 from Fox News (News Corp), a ‘right wing, conservative outlet! Y’know, a liberal democrat taking money from the ‘O’Reilly Factor’ and ‘Hannity’ network! Interestingly, she also took $7,500 from DirecTV which, oddly enough, is 35% owned by News Corp. Sneaky way to make political contributions, eh? If the 2 contributions are combined, they equal her #1 source of political contributors! Explains why they used two separate entities to buy her to propose this bill. There is clearly an anti-competition angle here that STINKS. This clouds any ‘concern for internet safety’ spin the sponsors may put on the bill!
Political corruption exposed; good to know who’s willing to sell out the 1st Amendment for 15 grand. The sad part is, these politicians may not even be aware what they are doing is treasonous against the Constitution! The culture of Washington D.C. is so corrupted, its like second nature to them. Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ for 30 pieces of silver; tell me… what’s the difference?
Cosponsors [as of 2009-04-18] of H.R. 1966, and their top 100 political contributors (ured.com for links)
Rep. Mark Kirk [R-IL]
Rep. Timothy Bishop [D-NY]
Rep. Raul Grijalva [D-AZ]
Rep. Bruce Braley [D-IA]
Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard [D-CA]
Rep. Joe Courtney [D-CT]
Rep. John Yarmuth [D-KY]
Rep. Phil Hare [D-IL]
Rep. Marcy Kaptur [D-OH]
Rep. William Clay [D-MO]
Rep. Danny Davis [D-IL]
Rep. John Sarbanes [D-MD]
Rep. Brian Higgins [D-NY]
Rep. Lois Capps [D-CA]
When you turn on the kitchen light, the cockroaches scatter. ‘Neo Conservatives’ masked as ‘Labor Union Democrats’; Oh my! This deceptive ploy only makes transparent the corruption that is rampant in our political system. We’ve seen it before: A “representative of the people” like Linda Sanchez (D-CA) used as a cover for a fear mongering, corporate expansionist, civil rights assault that pushes a neo-conservative agenda.
Linda Sanchez (D-CA) and others have introduced H.R. 1966, an anti free speech bill that threatens the smaller voices, and benefits the larger mainstream media. Alternative media exists without an mandated, dictated agenda. Why hurt the “little guy?” (more info on the bill here)?
Major political contributors to Linda Sanchez include big business mainstream media interests; such as News Corp, Directv, and the National Cable and Telecommunications Association. Newscorp is a major international media company that owns television networks such as Fox news, a conservative news outlet (hypocrite?)! They also operate major newspaper outlets, and have a great interest in seeing the smaller blogs die. These small blogs and social media outlets are grasping market share as the demand for real, independent non agenda news grows. The small blogs and media outlets are also a means for unsponsored independents (i.e. the “little guy”) to get internet traffic. She is suppressing not only free speech with this bill, but free enterprise.
Corporate monopolism through a labor democrat is hypocrisy at its WORST; this must be opposed because it is deception of the voting constituency. Call your representative now to vote DOWN this bill.
Just more serving the interests of monopolizing corporations that seek to preserve their domination over the free internet, and snuff out the smaller voices. Disappointing, in that we had believed Linda Sanchez (D-CA) was an ally of the people, with her holding steadfast and not voting for the bailout. That is most likely the reason she is named as the author of this ridiculous bill. Think about it. How can we even trust any of these people anymore, when all they do is attempt to deceive us?
We are not fooled. I would prefer that no further bills be submitted by ANYONE in congress, so this cauldron of sellouts can’t do any more damage to our liberties!
Why stifle working class Americans who run small blogs with this attack on the first Amendment? Speculation would suggest the bill is being pushed behind closed doors by News Corp and the National Cable and Telecommunications Association. How does this bill benefit the working class people, who have to fight for their rights under the constitution; rights being attacked daily by major corporations? The answer is clear, the betrayal is evident. We see FIRST HAND that once again, elected representatives are prioritizing big money political contributions over the voting majority.
Our rights under the Constitution are all we have, folks. It’s the only defense the people have against big business and mainstream media dictatorships. This is a bad bill all around, that will weaken the smaller voices, and benefit mainstream media. Over-generalizations that can result from bills like this mean rights suppressions for those who don’t have the resources to defend themselves. Who exactly is going to define the abstract boundaries of this bill? How will enforcement be carried out against free speech?
Protect our right to free speech, and fight government intervention into your rights! Read between the lines. We simply cannot trust the political process when politicians serve the interests of major political contributors.

Thank you for your insight. We need more people to open there eyes to the bipartisan corruption that has taken control of our government. Multination conglomerate are grabbing up the wealth of ever nation with the blessing of globalist politicians. Social engineering has been part of our schools for the past 40 years. It is finally paying off for the NWO. People have been programed to give up their rights in exchange for government control of every aspect of their lives. That is why a law is needed for everthing. Independent thought will become a crime. It is sad to see our country destroyed by a handfull of elite globalist.

i think all “protectionist” bills like this that suppress rights and dont benefit anyone are NWO agendas.

If someone decides to commit suicide there is something already coherently wrong with them to begin with. Mere words could not drive a sane, secure person to kill themselves. If they can, would someone think of something to say to the cow Sanchez that would cause her to cut her own throat. She should not be allowed to wear an eagle on her lapel but a vulture instead. The eagle is a regal bird, it would peck her eyeballs out if it could get to them through those fat puffy eyelids.

Yes, emotional abuse can do that to people. It’s happened before and will happen again.

obama said some hurtful things about me on the campaign trail (even though he didn’t really mean it). can we throw him in jail for two years?

Her problem is that she is so fat and ugly she can’t get laid and so she takes it out on us, decent, folks.
Oops. I’ve just called her fat TWICE on the internet! I am a cyber-bully and can’t get away “scot-free” – a racist epithet btw against Scots and supportive of the British injustices and bullying they have endured. At least its ok, following her example, to suggest that the world might be better off if her and her Stalinist friends committed mass suicide. Some bullying, after all, is ok… but only when it protects her and her fat assed friends.

AN ATTEMPT TO STIFLE FREE SPEECH ON THE INTERNET WILL ONLY ENHANCE THE VALUE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND THE DETERMINATION OF FREE MINDED AMERICANS TO SEEK OTHER ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS. AD EST…. INTERNET TWO WILL BIRTH INTERNET 3 AND MOTIVATE PEOPLE NOT ALREADY GETTING TRUTH, NEWS, AND KNOWLEDGE TO SEEK TRUTH. THE DEATH OF THE MSM IS THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE GROWING EVER MORE SUSPICIOUS OF OUR IMPOSTER PRESIDENT. WHEN WILL THE BILDERBERG CLOWNS LEARN THAT DEMOCRACY CAN NEVER BE PUT BACK INTO A BOX. THEIR NWO PLANS ARE CRUMBLING EVEN NOW. THEY ARE IN A PANIC AND HAVE BROKEN INTO SERIOUS DISAGREEMENTS AMONST THEMSELVES. THERE ARE NO SECRETS BOYS.
THEIR PLAN WILL FAIL AND THE CONSEQUENCES WILL BE HORRIFIC FOR ALL.

Although I get sick of pretty much everything the EU has touched and wont trust these freedom attacking corporate whores with A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G whatsoever..
I have to admit I’m getting SICK of peeps like Joseph Lieberman or any other American “politician” deciding what I can see on You Tube and elsewhere WHILE I LIVE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD.

Bush/Cheney walks free.
1. Intentional fabrication of evidence (intelligence) to launch an invasion of Iraq – Bush walks.
2. The murder of 1.3 million Iraqis – Bush walks.
3. Exposing current CIA officers for political retaliation – Bush walks.
4. Illegal natiowide wire tapping – Bush walks.
5. Torture of suspected terrorists – Bush walks.
6. Signing statements negating laws passed by Congress – Bush walks.
BUT, the ‘cyber bullying’ – now that’s a serious crime and something must be done – “for the sake of the children”.
Methinks the hypocrisy doth run deep in the “Democrat” controlled US government.
And the Communists (Democrats) and Fascists (Republicans) continue their assault on the Bill of Rights at the behest of the Plutocratic Oligarchy running the show in order to establish a global New World Order out of the chaos they have established. Order out of chaos.

That’s fine, let that fat stupid bitch Sanchez draft and attempt to push through a ludicrous bill such as this. It is so broad, it makes the Lincoln tunnel look like a fart-hole, and will bring about so many frivilous lawsuits, that the courts will be begging for mercy. Either that or they’ll just no-bid contract the job to Haliburton to build more courts and jails and then pass the enormous cost on to us like always.
If this bill passes, forget it…free speech is gone! You won’t be able to disagree with me or anyone else for fear of being sued or jailed. Then again i worry about that anyways whenever i cross the street somewhere other than an intersection and/or spit on the sidewalk.
You’re not free, you never were. It’s a facade, get used to it. If you think i’m lying then please google “the Constitution Con” by Michael Tsarion and i know most of you know who he is. It is extremely eye opening and will teach you something about our so-called “Constitution”.
We are Nazi Germany, period. You can’t see that?
We’re invading countries like Nazi Germany, we’re oppressing the people like Nazi Germany, we’re conducting experiments through bio weapons and pharmaceuticals like Nazi Germany, we’re arresting people and torturing people like Nazi Germany…the only difference is, our cops can give you the electric chair right on the street for so much as asking the wrong question. You don’t believe me? Youtube it, you know it’s there and you know it’s true it’s not an exaggeration…IT’S FACT!
And as always, history repeats itself…Nazi Germany fell and so shall we. The people are far too asleep or passive or both to make a move. The chess game is over and we the people have been check-mated. Now we just hope for the best and expect the worst.
That’s reality!

They’re all crooks in the Congress.
And besides, where were the parents of this child? Should they have been around, this would have been prevented.
And as for the woman who was posting things about her on myspace, she should be punished but not at the cost of everyone’s free speech.
What’s next? Insults during Road Rage classified as Hate Speech?

I need to sue my state gov. They have left me hanging out to dry on my unemployment. They have not given me ananswer for over 3 months. It is causing me mental distress. Their email replys have left me feeling scared for my future.
May 8th, 2009 at 7:59 am
Pointless…and i can prove it.
We already have rules everywhere against bullying, and it still exists.
Also there are laws forbidding murder, theft, violence of almost any kind, threats of violence, jaywalking, and a million other things that people will do no matter what laws we make.
Making a law doesn’t change anything. If you want to stop cyber-bullying, teach your kid to stand up for themselves. A person that respects themselves won’t bully people, let themselves be bullied or stand by while it happens to others.
21st century and we have to legislate this garbage?

I hope the Bill won’t sentence the people opposed and wrote their opinions against George W. Bush while he was the US president. If Mr. Bush comments how he is “hurt” by the political oppositions or even his policy about the Iraq War, everyone even reading this website could be sentenced.
The bill might just wipe out the people exercising freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of press. Another step toward the NWO.

Ok, I just have 1 question. What does Linda Sanchez’s weight have to do with anything? If she was a skinny “hot” white woman would this bill be a good one? Of course not! So let’s stop judging a book by it’s cover and judge Linda by her actions. This is a terrible bill. It doesn’t matter who introduced it, it should never pass into law! Who cares if she’s a fat bitch or a skinny bitch, she’s just a bitch, period!
May 9th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
The main problem with this possible new law is how you define “Hostile Behavior.” This can be a very broad interpretation and who will define that hostile behavior interpretation, a judge? I don’t a want a judge making the decision because many of them should never been appointed a judge in the first place. I agree with some of the other replys that this is a terrible bill.
If a young person is being bully on their computer, the best course of action is to not open those emails in the first place and bring the issue to the parents of the abuser. If that does not work, then obtain a restraing court order against the abuser.

Megan Meier’s story was simplistically presented by the mainstream media. She took Big Pharma stimulants for ADD. One of the side effects that she experienced was suicidal thoughts, a not so rare occurrence, especially for children and adolescents.

“I wonder how soon it will be before they try to introduce a law like this in the UK.”
There already is, it’s the “Anti-Hate/Anti-Free Seech Bill.”- and it’s being implemented, and their websites closed down.

Judging from your comments above Sanchez..
“I am going to sign this bill into law for the good of all you under me. You really aren’t smart enough to understand so I will pass this internet bill for your own good.”
You probably are a wetback anchor turd and are not legally entitled to hold office in the U.S.
Your citizenship status should be investigated..
You are under us, “We The People”, Sanchez,
We are not under you.
You work for us, “We The People”, are your boss,
You,Sanchez are our employee.
Unnerstand?
Your basic lack of knowledge of how a republic works is enough to question your allegiance..
May 10th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
See, this is why I will not support Mexicans in any way politically. They are all focused on their race and what Americans can do for them, otherwise, Mrs. Sanchez would not try to take away first amendment rights. How sick is this?
