So can we go after the Liberal Media?????
They are encouraging us to suicide, in many forms.

Exactly.
“So can we go after the Liberal Media?????

They’re promoting and encouraging sedition, open and violent rebellion. Lock every damn one of them up for treason...and then ship them to North Korea so they can be in their paradise and bliss.
I am disappointed about the verdict.
I feel bad for the boy. SMH. If only he had taken the Red Pill.
My oldest son would never do that, at least because of a gf. He’s taken the Red Pill, and doesn’t require validation from girlfriends or wives.
So how long before this law if it is one spreads to all forms of communication? Does this mean that telling someone to FOAD on a comment or tweet is now a felony ?

How’s he planning on passing your genome along then?
Can't get someone to do something that they wouldn't do on their own.

FOAD and ESAD are double ententes.
Per the lesser known meaning - they are warnings that if you do, you will.
Seems folks who RTFM are less likely succumb.
We have a culture who think Reading the Manual for the Species is passe - and, as a result, think changing/checking the oil isn’t necessary until the dashboard oil light comes on.
Oops!
I'm not - she is evil. She gambled that a Judge would give her a better chance than a jury and lost. He enumerated the extenuating circumstances that applied.
This chick not only urged this vulnerable young man to cmmitt suicide, she was on the phone with him when he was gassing himself, and ehn he got out of the truck, she ordered him back in. Depraved indifference to human life.
No doubt this will get appealed, and be an interesting case in the long run. But one question that is worth asking, ouside of the framework of the statutory language, is whther society should allow the sort of conduct she engaged in, to go unpunished by the law.
Read the texts here and see if FOAD is the same as what she did.
This happened in Mass, soon it will be extended to legal gun dealers.
One problem I have is that if the Boy had not taken his life, then her words would not have been criminal. She was a jerk, certainly, but if he had ignored her, she wouldn't be guilty of anything -- it's not illegal to be a jerk.
But he DID take his own life, which then caused her words to be actionable because, in hindsight, she really was more than just a jerk. But it was his action that turned the whole thing into something worthy of a trial and guilty verdict. So is this really his fault?
// How’s he planning on passing your genome along then? //
I don’t care about genome. In a few billion years the Earth will be a lifeless husk and all the genomes that survived will get their booby-prize: death. A few billion after that, and the entrophy heat-death of the universe.
If he decides to have any kids, he can hire a surrogate, and I can be daycare during my retirement. I was a stay-at-home dad once for 4 years.
Surrogacy is less costly, both financially and emotionally than a divorce.
Signing a modern marriage contract doesn’t pass a cost-benefit analysis.
She is truly evil. She is a murderer who did not physically want to do it, but made sure she got it done. Are hope she serves every second of twenty years. And that some big women in prison glom onto her.
Sometimes reckless endangerment (driving on a sidewalk) turns into manslaughter, with the difference being just because somebody was killed.
I don't have a problem with allowing the speech up to the point it works.
I also see it as a marginal legal decision, by "marginal" I mean it affects conduct of a small number of people. Not many people try to talk others into suicide over an extended period. Those who are doing that, are free to continue, and have no legal jeopardy -- until it works.
>>I can be daycare during my retirement. I was a stay-at-home dad once for 4 years.
Planning on modeling the behavior of both Mother and Father are ya?
Shucks. Billions of years of binary sexual evolution down the drain!
I saw this on Law &I Order once.
