Busybodies like these are the vanguard of the nannystate.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

Is this based on the case where the mother of one child pretended to be an online boyfriend of another child and then drove that child to kill herself?
Would it be crime, if I pretended to be a panda on whoopsie just to toy with Dale's heart?“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
"Capitalism ho!"

Are there any US laws against things like (for example) encouraging a person on a ledge to jump? There are a number of people on the internet that just need a 'push' to do things like suicide. There is a clear difference between encouraging jumping off a ledge and internet bullying, but the result can be similar.
May I also add that winning an emotional distress claim is very, very difficult unless the intent was absolutely clear that the person was performing the act to cause the emotional distress, and emotional distress would have be to severe, and the actions would had to have caused severe emotional distress in the average person.a.k.a. ainwood, CFC Forums Co-Administrator
Some Ainwood guy is so up his arse that if he ever had haemharroids (sp), he'd have to take the cream orally! What a total dick!

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio
