>>So you’re saying you want people to be prosecuted for being dumb? Who gets to decide what is dumb?<<

No. I am saying they should be prosecuted for doing dumb things - like knocking over liquor stores or taking stuff off other peoples private property strictly because of something they read on the internet.

You never prosecute people for beliefs or feelings or IQ. You prosecute for activities that are illegal. However, behind those activities are one or more of the three.

You know I read on the internet that the IRS and the income tax were illegal. MEGoody, try this, stop paying taxes, then when the IRS goons come to haul you away to prison, you can tell them that you don't think you should be prosecuted because you read something on the internet that said you didn't have to pay taxes, and then when they laugh, you can tell them fine, but that you shouldn't be prosecuted until Al Gore is prosecuted since he created the internet.

Oh puhleeze. Knocking over a liquor store is NOT the same thing as falling for a scam on the internet.

Come back when you can be serious.
