Getting 40 years of imprisonment because of spyware?
« on: January 13, 2007, 12:54:36 pm »
Well, I was reading some news today untill I stumbled onto this.

A school teacher was browsing the internet when suddenly all kinds of pornographic pop-ups appeared.
They appeared because of spyware.
Of course some parents immediately sued her for permanently mutilating their childrens minds.
Though she didn't mean to access pornographic websites and though the spyware getting there was not her fault, she has been found guilty on all the accusations. In March she will hear the verdict and she can get upto 40 years imprisonment.

Funny notes are that:

-the few cookies of pornographic website on her pc were probably caused by male collegues visiting the websites.
-the school had software against spyware and pop-ups, but they hadn't paid the license for a while so the software didn't work.
-she did complain about the pop-ups to several teachers and the director, but they didn't care.
-those kids had probably seen nude pictures already anyway, knowing our generation.

But still she's facing up to 40 years.

How is this possible?
Is the school retarded?
Are the sueing parents retarded?
Is the jury retarded?

Whatever it is, it's quite sad.

Hehehe, that's just the justice system mate. People looking for reasons to screw your ass over for a pretty penny. Manipulating a childs mind? Come on! If they were within the eight grade or above, some of them had probably already lost their virginity.

Anyway, there's a similar case, with a guy (young) being charged for child pornography when all the evidence was for him. TONS of it. He was facing 90 years, then just got labeled as a sex offender, but I do think they recently let him off...Seemed like a good kid anyway.

40 years sounds harsh, but 10 should be enough for using IE...

It's partly the justice system, partly idiot parrents, and partly a school system that doesn't care about taking care of people.

In effect, it's the human race.

Haha, the same exact thing happened to our teacher, except it was far worse:

The pronographic images just happened to pop-up during a visit from some German guys in suits, and the computer they popped up on just happened to be connected to the projector.

'Course, in Dublin we all just have a jolly laugh at things like that.

Yet when people who arent irish make far more subtle remarks they get the shizza kicked out of them. What a screwed up world we live in.

Its just not as funny when non Irish people say it. Donegal is the worst though. Its just tweed, tractors and whiskey. Bet your wondering how someone in a place so backwards can have a computer, eh?
Well anyway this is just further proof that lawyers have too much free time. I think we should all go out and commit some real crimes. Give 'em something to do.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

Ahh northeast coast of the United States.  That whole region of the country is screwed up.  Probably because it is insanely overpopulated.  The people there will send you to jail for cursing in public but they have no qualms with driving a big fatdaddy SUV that gets 2mpg.  After all, how would they get to their kids soccer games?

Cursing in public was notoriously a crime in the South, but not the north east.  Of course, it was only a crime if it was within earshot of a woman.

You're not getting this :P


In Birmingham, England it is illegal for a man and woman to have 'relations' on the steps of any church after the sun goes down.


See, it's funny 'cause it's ironic. Not bigotted.
