How about we as a community of people just not threaten to go on mass murdering sprees, joking or not, considering it's something that happens. At least around people who don't know your brand of humor and whether or not you're joking.
I don't think we're missing out on too much by abstaining from that.

yup, then when somebody else says the same thing and actually does it, you are all gonna be screaming why didnt somebody do something before.

I would rather overreact and call the police and face ridicule rather than live with the fact that I could have stopped some kids from being killed and did nothing about it.

I'm of the exact opposite opinion: I'd rather suffer a number of preventable deaths each year than live in a police state where we can't even make bad jokes on the internet out of fear of persecution. Freedom is worth a few lives. More than a few actually.

we have freedom because somebody already died to give us that right, not because we are willing to sacrifice some more.  if we are sacrificing some then we are just buying freedom.

Freedom is a subscription based service. ;)

It demands constant vigilance and repeated sacrifices.

She saved a bunch of lives. He was obviously about to do it, just look at that picture.  Who takes pictures of a pos out dated camera? He doesnt even care that his blurry face is in the background, distracting me from his pos camera. A guy who's bout to try an get double prestige at a elementary that's who.

Logic, even in a game filled with "people" the same respect and care should be given as we would to one another face to face. "that's why chan 200 SUCKS!"   :aok
