First asbestos, then employment race\gender quotas, no fault divorce, then sexual harassment in the workplace, then the VAWC Act that created a whole new court system to punish men and collect child support, then the cigarette companies settling with the government. The American Bar Association yearly meets and outlines new revenue targets in our country to keep lawyers in business. Right or wrong means nothing. Court precedence, then legislation crafted with the help of lawyers to keep lawyers in business, in the wake of the cases needed to stir up public sentiment is everything.
The Internet allows everyone to act like children with no consequences. No one thinks in the heat of the moment the idiocy they just typed can be used to touch them like in a face to face. Cyber bullying is the result. Because deaths can be tied directly to cyber bullying now in court as a consequence of unregulated childish behavior by adults. The Internet is under scrutiny by people who make millions creating new sources of litigation for revenue streams. How do you think the Violence Against Women and Children Act and it's courts became law and a revenue cash cow for states?
Posting what that idiot Kittle said to you inside of the game in a public area outside of the game is the kind of tiny straw looked for. When patterns are being cherry picked to mold opinions of people who don't care about any of the positive benefits of this game. That out weigh the one stupid conversation you just needed to share. While we both know threats of that kind are just part of all Internet game garbage. People who don't play Internet games and have an agenda will refuse to understand and take Kittle's statements for face value as one more proof of cyber bullying.
To them cyber bullying and violent Internet games equal suicide and mass murder in the real world per the helpful media, politicians and lawyers looking for a new law to save our children from us. And grant them a camel's nose under the tent to controlling speech on the Internet that can be defined as hate or bullying. Then redefine religious or political content and speech visa the court precedence defining cyber bulling to skirt the 1st amendment.
No one remembers in Lawrence vs Texas 2003, Scalia wrote in his dissent that this would be the first step to eventually hearing challenges to the constitutionality of traditional marriage. The media declared him a bit touched and getting old. Look at what happened a few days ago with their none stop campaign from 2003 to make the whole country believe traditional marriage was bigotry and hate against a minority group that never existed before under US Civil Rights statutes. The first steps to challenging the constitutionality of the Christian religion on the basis that anyone holding to the traditional view of marriage is a bigot and a violator of a suddenly new minority group's civil rights in America per justice Kennedy writing for the majority opinion.
So cyber bullying and Internet games legislation is not to be taken lightly. And we are happily handing the well funded anti cyber bullying\violent games groups our heads because we just gotta take forum shots at each other and egg each other on and trash each other at any cost anonymously. And we won't have any input or vote on how the eventual law describes cyber bullying. Other than years of our saved searchable Internet whizz fests poured through by legal aids and congressional staffers looking for patterns to loosely fit legislative agendas.
And no one thought two dudes could ever get hitched in America just 10 years ago.
