In the theme of completely idiotic topics like 'should people who TRAVEL outside the US and go someplace where pot is legal and smoke it be punished?' and 'should I buy this used cd because someone might have ripped the tracks before they sold it to the CD store', I'm asking if we should be punished for crimes our neighbors commit. I mean, you should maybe be on the lookout to see what they're up to. If they do something illegal like have a brushfire without a permit, you should call the cops on them because it's your responsibility, and if you don't you should go to jail, right?

I tried that with some idiot who was publicly appealing to terrorists to blow up DMV's.

Didn't work.

You know, I thought about reporting it to the Wisconsin DMV, but he's right. Their website does suck. I couldn't find the appropriate email address or a good phone number so I gave up.

Someday he'll just kill himself with his rage. But he'll be arguing with someone about how intelligent he is the whole time.

Cash is smart. He just has little self control. That just goes along with his condition though.

You posted it in here awhile back.

I just added the caption after that story you told about the kid in the wheelchair.

There's nothing illegal about wishing someone harm. Heck, I wish at least 50 people harm a day, especially when driving.

can we say police state? This type of thinking reminds me of Nazi Germany. I think there are 2 levels of laws to take into account. Serious criminal laws and violations of bi laws and civil laws. Not reporting a murder or rap I think should have punishment. Not reporting a parking violation or watering violation I dont think should be punished.
Brian says (9:16 AM): I was looking at houses in Ottawa... I actually have a temptation in me to move
Jeff ******* says (9:19 AM): Eww, Ottawa is gross. It's infested with politicians, and presently, 1 Harper as well.

You you are saying you have no problem with me alerting them to your thread about wanting terrorists to bomb a WI DMV? OK, I'll do that tommorrow morning if that is fine with you. I mean, there's nothing illegal about it right? Free country and all that.

He has already had the FBI talk to him about his threats against Gore.

Duh. This topic is a parody of the stupidity of the 'amsterdam' and 'used cd' threads. The answer is obvious, but for some reason the original posters didn't realize the absurdity and obvious answer of their topics.

Wanting?

Again, it isn't illegal.

If I say I want/wish terorrists to blow up the DMV, or Dave Matthews, or Celiene Dion, that's legal. I can 'want' whatever I'd like. It's my right to want whatever I want.

As for alerting them, feel free. I'll be alerting them that some asshole from a mac forum is attempting to get me into trouble for no reason, and wasting their time and our taxpayer's money. I'll do that tomorrow morning if that's okay with you.

It wasn't the FBI. It was the secret service. And I didn't threaten gore. I used an 'if then' statement. I remember finding out who reported me, going on AOL, finding his hometown, and looking up his phone number and address. I posted it on the NN, and the guy went psycho. He was the true lunatic.

Name calling. How childish.

Tomorrow morning will be Saturday. Are they open on Saturday? If they are, WOW, how convenient! Or did it just slip you high-test-scoring-brain that they won't be open? Maybe you better wait 'till Monday.

I won't be alerting them for no reason. I seriously think you could lose it and attempt the things you wish. Remember the throwing star incident? You're pretty goofy.

Throwing star incident? As for reporting me, make sure you don't exxagerate. I'm not planning anything, nor do I know any terrorists. But again, I'll be reporting you as someone wasting their time since I'm not a threat. I think it's harming our country when pathetic people with no lives try to report people they don't like on an internet forum as a 'threat' when in reality they're just doing it to be annoying.

No, ReggieX. I didn't say it was the definitive universal answer.

But, I do consider it to be an alternative to fascism.

Perhaps we can alter the topic as such: Should we prevent the fat person sitting next to us at McDonalds from eating his Big Mac? Hey! Why not! He's fat. Gotta call the health police! Hey, where's my reward for reporting this fat guy eating something he shouldn't?

Excuse me Mr. Fat Guy, where's your meal license? Don't have one, eh? Well...gotta phone the meal license police now. Boy, are you in trouble.
