Sick of Internet Trolls Whining about 'Censorship'

On the news today, there was a story about hate speech made against Muslims on the Western Standard web site http://www.westernstandard.ca but the Human Rights commission here isn't doing anything about it because they claim the internet is federally regulated, and this was a site in a western Canadian city. Bull! If they won't do anything over such a piddly technicality and someone feels threatened because some stupid hater wants them to die - and this hater living in the same city as them - what good is this human rights organization at all? The net isn't federally regulated, it isn't regulated at all, really. Go federal, and you'll surely get told that this is a municipal problem, take it up with the site owner. Or worse, you might be told to go fly a kite and get over it, because as the owner sees fit to leave the hate speech up on their site, it's their site, and they have a right to put whatever they want on it regardless of who feels threatened or gets offended, no matter how egregious the hate blither is.
 
Every time somebody behaves badly and shoots off their disgusting mouth, saying things that are incredibly stupid and hateful, scores of people rally to defend these blockheads to the hilt, but when haters say anything against a religious group or race, we are told they must be allowed to exercise their "right to free speech" bull shart! It's not free speech any more, it's ABUSE of the freedom of speech! And it's way past high time people yanked these sorry, hateful trolls off the internet altogether or at the very least, make them take the burning heat for their foul mouthed, disgusting attitudes. Only idiot trolls whine so much about "censorship" and "You're taking away my right to free speech! Waaaaaahhh!" because it's a way they know they can bully people into knuckling under and letting them get away with wishing Muslims would die or wishing Jews, Christians, etc. would die, and calling people "scum" just because they are of a different religion or ethnicity from them.
 
It's time those with any clout on the net got some guts, to do something about these haters and tell them in no uncertain terms to shut the flying hecx up!

Old Virus Hoax Learns New Trick - the Merry Christmas Virus Warning Hoax 2007 Version

HOAX!
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/invitation.asp

Just because a chain letter claims Snopes says it's real and provides a link,
doesn't make it so...

The 2007 "Don't Open Merry Christmas" virus chain email is a hoax that gives the
usual bogus "This is the worst virus ever, it will burn your hard drive!" and
other such hysterical claims. But in order to try looking credible so people
will pass it along without actually bothering to look it up, the chain also
provides a link to a three-year-old Snopes page about a virus from 2004. The
deal is that most people will just pass on the chain without actually checking
out the Snopes info. And no, it is not better getting any chain email 25 times
than opening a Merry Christmas message.

Outdated 2004 virus info:

Missing Kid Hoaxes Started by the Kids Themselves

Missing Nanaimo Teen Email is a Big Hoax

http://www.canada.com/vancouverisland/nanaimo/story.html?id=4f7749de-8e18-487b-948e-8b30bf42b78a

Furthermore, it's also a rip-off of the Evan Trembley hoax.

http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/evantrembley.html which was started as a
sick joke on Myspace by the real and not missing Evan Trembley himself.

It borrows content from the Ashley Flores hoax
http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/ashleyflores.html
which was started by one of the real and not missing Ashley's friends on Myspace
as a sick joke, and borrows heavily from the Penny Brown hoax
http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/pennybrown.html
which is a mutation of the Kelsey Brook Jones chain, which was true for the two
hours that kelsey was thought missing. Kelsey was found playing, and unharmed
two hours after her mother's initial panic.
http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/kelsey.html

http://www.breakthechain.org/missing.html

People who start hoaxes like that should be penalized, because they are getting
very sick kicks at others' expense!
It's manipulative, attention-seeking behavior on a level that is so low and
disgusting because people are getting jerked around just so a few childish teens
can get their haw-haws.

Ignorance or lack of forethought as no excuse.

Playing pranks on your friends in a social network like Myspace is bad enough,
but when it's in the form of a chain letter, it's not going to stay just among
the friends of the hoaxter. This is because your circle of friends also has
their own circles of friends, which in turn, have their own circle of friends,
so, you start a hoax about yourself as missing or dying or whatever, and your
friends might think it's funny, but somebody else who is listed as one of their
friends but not listed as your friend, looks at this friend's profile and
bulletins, and this stranger looking at your friend's profile, sees your
missing/dying hoax and assumes it's for real, and compulsively passes it along
to their friends, who pass it on to theirs.

So, yet more reasons chain letters really stink, and why starting a hoax might
get you the controll over the masses and the attention you desire, but it could
also land you and those associated with you in a pile of inconvenience if not
trouble.

I'm very sorry for anyone these hoaxes have hurt, from those who were taken in
by them, (hopefully they'll know better than pass on chain email from now on) to
those who are friends of or related to the hoaxter and suffering fallout because
of the hoax.

But as for the hoaxters themselves, I wish they would get a lot more than just a
slap on the wrist for their self-serving, inconsiderate and just plain sick
actions.

Evan Trembley was exceedingly stupid to start a hoax about himself, as was the
friend of Ashley Flores. The guy who mooched off the Trembley hoax and made it
about himself as a missing kid in Nanaimo is just as guilty. Shame on them!

Missing Nanaimo Teen Email is a Big Hoax

Nanaimo Daily News Missing teen e-mail is a big hoax
Plea urging people to look out for Nanaimo boy is a prank that first began in
Texas
Derek Spalding , Daily News
Published: Thursday, October 11, 2007
Nanaimo RCMP say its unfortunate that someone is circulating a fake missing
person notice through e-mail accounts.

Thousands of Harbour City residents have recently received a message in their
inbox about a missing teenager from Nanaimo, but the chain mail is nothing but a
hoax. The message asks recipients to please "pass this to everyone in your
address book" in hopes that someone will have seen 15-year-old Evan Trembley.
After a simple Internet search, however, the real story behind the prank is
revealed.

Evan Trembley of Wichita, Falls, Tex, created a fake Amber Alert with himself as
the missing person. He then sent it out to his friends on MySpace.com. Then a
few people who didn't know it was a joke, sent the e-mail out to everyone on
their list. Police exposed Trembley who said he thought his "friends would
recognize it, get a laugh out of it" and delete it, he told reporters in
Wichita.

****But then people who weren't his friends took it seriously and continued to
e-mail all their friends. Trembley and his mother Tammy said they do not expect
any criminal charges.

It appears someone in Nanaimo decided to localize Trembley's prank and
distributed it throughout the city. Using the same photo and similar
information, Trembley now appears to be a missing Nanaimo boy. This week, the
e-mail reached Robin Dutton, owner of Arrowsmith Bikes, who then forwarded it to
more than 300 people on his mailing list.

"I just thought, if somebody's missing, it doesn't take a whole lot for me to
send it out to everyone in my address book," he said before expressing his
disappointment in the hoax. "I just think it's really unfortunate. I'd like to
think that people have a bit more to do rather than waste people's time."

McCann Case - Police and Media Bumbling Way Off the Map!

The police and the media are making complete idiots of themselves over the

-The stupid media should not have splashed little Bushra's picture all over the
world and assumed she was Madeline in the first place! Not only have they wasted
a lot of people's time and attention on a claim that isn't real, they added to
the torment of Maddeleine's family! Gads, but you police and news reporters are
inconsiderate, bumbling idiots!

her, then Santa did it, then the Easter Bunny. Please, don't waste any more time

stupid cops are all over the map, you have no idea what you're doing, and the
gullible media, desperate for a story, any story, truth be damned, will print
anything, not caring how it hurts the McCann family and their friends!

http://missingminorities.blogspot.com/2007/09/if-madeleine-mccann-was-black-would.html

-What's black and white got to do with Madeleine McCann!? Oh, please, give me a
pickin break!!

The reason the world knows about Madeleine McCann at all is because of a chain
email one of her relatives started - a chain email that, for once, isn't a hoax!

-Yes, if she was black, and it was the same story and it was for real and if a
relative had started a chain email and everybody heard about it, everybody would
care just as much!

-Sheesh! Why in the heck is it that some apparently bigoted attention-hogs with
their own racist agendas always have to go throwing the race card and silly
pity-parties into things!? So now, tell me, should we all of a sudden just stop
praying that Madeleine will be found alive or at the very least, didn't suffer a
horrible death because she's not black? Should we wish she's dead because she's
not black? Should we just forget all about any other missing kids we are told
about if they happen not to be black? Should we only be on the look out for
missing kids if they are black and simply shrug off and refuse to even consider
trying to help out if a picture shows a missing kid who isn't black? Are we
supposed to only care about missing kids if they are "the right color" for you
now? Sheesh! I'm not even going to read your crummy site! This isn't about wite
and black! Stop trying to turn it into that and just please go away if you
aren't interested in helping find missing kids regardless of skin color! ARGH!

whose kid went missing from a motel room!

(self-righteous, ego-puffing, and hypocritical when humans are getting killed every day and they're not crying over that. "companion animal" is the term PEta wants to get everybody using instead of "pet" as a step to putting animals as equal with humans in order to eventually end all contact between animals and humans with the exception of themselves, of course.)

        Visit *www.StopTheKilling.net*
 
(offensive self-righteous looking domain, typical of animal welfare/rights egotists)
        
        In the news today, a dog *who*
 
(who is for humans, this should read "a dog that was)
 
was taken to the veterinarian's
office in the state of Georgia is being held *hostage*
 
(Implies a kidnapping which didn't happen, and since when is a dog a "hostage"? People are hostages, dogs are impounded!) until the *"owner"* (yes, the OWNER, not the mommy or daddy or guardian or care taker or steward or any other aw term, so no need for the quotes around it, dude.)
pays the *nine-hundred-dollar bill* (Holy crap! That's horrendous! The dog probably didn't even cost that much to buy in the first place, no?) owed to the vet. This is *receiving
tons of coverage in the mainstream press,* (meh...If you say so - I haven't heard of it, anyway, lots of chain letter hoaxes claim the same thing when in fact the story can be seen nowhere in the media except maybe to be exposed as a hoax.) which is discussing the
issue of *companion animals* (PETS!) *)cats, dogs, rabbits)* (Uhm dude...Er, like...Most of us know what pets are, and what kinds of pets are commonly found in households! DUH!) being given *more
standing in the law.* (which is sometimes mentioned in the media, but is still ridiculous and absolutely wrong. Animals are not and never will be little fur-people, or come before people except in the depraved minds of the animal activists who hate their own species...) As *the journalist* (Which journalist?) explaining the story stated,
*"If you took your daughter to the dentist for dental work* (This is a dog, not your daughter, a blasted dog, for crying out loud! Any journalist who attempts to equate children with animals needs to have their credentials as well as their head examined, not to mention, they just wouldn't belong in a media job!) and couldn't
pay the bill, the dentist wouldn't be able to hold your *child hostage* (Again, this is a dog, not a child! But it seems to me somebody is trying to weasel out of paying a tremendously outrageous vet bill, or a vet is trying to bilk a dog owner out of their hard earned money! It stinks either way.)
or send her to an *orphanage."* (Orphanages are for children! Dogs go to the pound or a kennel, doofus!)

Even though under our *draconian laws* (Draconian law would be forcing people to treat their animals as children and thereby end pet ownership!) animals are still *considered
someone's "personal property,"* (Obviously you have a problem with that, which makes you an ar extremist. Get a life!) there are many judges across the nation
who are apparently *awarding "companion" animals extra considerations
in dealing with issues similar to this one.* (Not because they are as sadly and scarily twisted as this, I hope, but rather, because of other factors like who's pet it is and who has a stronger case for keeping the animal - and even that's no guarantee the animal would end up where it belongs, animal welfare people are very good at stealing animals from people and using the law as a cover for their rotten activities.!) Some judges have extended
the term "personal property" in dealing with *companion animals* (They're called pets, dude...) to
"personal property *who* (Who is a human...) make a positive impression and difference in
the lives of those who own them!"* (Again, yes, people do own pets,the animals don't care what you call them, but anybody who cares to keep their own rights to be benefited by their personal property, should care, and shun your disgusting rhetoric and call it for what it is, extremist animal rights propaganda!. And yes, everybody who has ever owned and loved a pet knows pets do make a positive difference in their lives, but you animal rights nutters want to take that away, and that is the bottom line with you here!)
 
Now, of course, ADL-LA believes that animals should have intrinsic
value and be accorded *rights* (Rights is a human concept and cannot be applied to animals...) independent of their meaning to human
beings. Because *non human animals* (of course they're non human, they're animals! You're making me want to throw up!) are indeed *sentient* (Right up there on the ars favorite words for describing their idea of animals, right along with "innocent" "voiceless" and all other tripe. Give me a break!) and able to
*suffer* (As you ars continually to fantasize about, you just can't stand that somewhere, a human is happy, or that an animal and a human are happy in each other's presence! Again, get a freaking life! Yes, most of us know animals feel pain, get excited over treats, miss their owners when they're away, have foods they like and foods they dislike, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! That does not make them little children in fur coats!) *- feel pain, fear, pleasure, disappointment, depression, etc.* (Yadda, yadda, yadda, I just covered that...) -
they *should* (No they should NOT) be  granted rights irrespective of any "human"
considerations whatsoever.
 
(Oh right. To you, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy, and an ant should be granted the same consideration as your child since your child is of no more value to you than an ant...You pass with flying colors to be a good little soldier in the PEta/HSUS/ALF etc. army.)
 
But, in light of *how companion animals are treated* (Pets, dude, pets!) inside the *prison*
walls of LAAS and other municipal *shelters,* (the pound) this broadening of the
term "personal property"  being given by some judges is a positive
step forward. Therefore, the veterinarian in Georgia is going to
either be forced to give the dog back to the owner or make sure the
dog gets a safe and loving new home; he will NOT be allowed to send
the dog (as he had initially intended) to a *shelter* (pound) with the dog's
death the likely outcome.
 
(So...It's either a money-grubbing aw extremist vet, or a loafing animal owner looking to get something for nothing, trying to cop out of having to pay a vet bill. Yes, I hope the vet is forced to give the dog back to its owner once the bill has been paid - provided the vet was on the up and up about the amount and the owner wasn't trying to get something for nothing. It's not easy to tell which one was the villain and which one was the victim here, but either way, it's disgusting how the animal rights people are trying to use it to their own twisted interests.)
 
This issue set ADL-LA members to pondering how we can use this new and
more progressive perspective in thinking about *companion animals* (Pets!) to
serve LA's own homeless and lost animals. It seems - if we are to
agree with the many judges who are giving *companion animals* (Pets!) 'extra
consideration' - that when a  *companion animal* (Gads, I've never seen so much repitition of an offensive phrase except for the flamer who flamed somebody's guestbook with pages of the words "bitch pants" Get it through your thick head, it's PETS!) is lost, the "shelters"
(yeah, they are pounds) should be unable to kill the animal because they have an owner
somewhere. Even if the owners make no attempt or are otherwise unable
to find their missing pet, the *shelters* (pounds) should be forced either to
find this animal a home or care (humanely!) for the animal's physical
and emotional needs for the rest of his/her natural life.
 
(Gosh, for a second there, I actually thought you were going to say something truly compassionate and sensible, and say the pounds should be forced to track down the owner and give the animal back to him/her! So - you didn't say anything surprisingly and refreshingly decent after all...)
 
Furthermore, animals *who* (should be 'which' or 'that') don't have owners ("strays") are the de facto
personal property of the community in which they are found - and,
therefore, *a portion of the tax dollars (more then 22 MILLION EACH
YEAR) given to the department of Los Angeles Animal Services by the
citizens of Los Angeles should be allocated precisely to finding homes
for these animals as well, so that they can "make a positive
impression and difference" in the lives of someone else who chooses to
own them!*
 
(Who wants to shell out more money for useless taxes? people are already being taxed for more important things such as schooling and for other things they probably don't even know or care to support. And if I didn't have a pet, I should not be expected to pay taxes so some mangy flea-ridden mutts or alley cats are foisted on people who should have the right to choose to get their pets elsewhere than at some dumpy pound, and there's no way I'll support any funding to help the institutions that participate in raiding pet owners and importing sick and vicious dogs from other countries to perpetuate the animal overpopulation myth and put pet shops and breeders out of business, eventually ending pet ownership altogether, as pound pets get spewtered before they're allowed back into a home!)
 
Therefore, no *companion animal* *Blimey! Okay, I'm going through this nauseating thing to tally the number of times you churned out your favorite PEta phrase! And they are still pets!) should ever be *killed,* "(Like it or not, animals do have to be killed. If that wasn't the case, everything that moves on this planet would be living on vegetation only! And sometimes animals are killed to prevent the spread of disease, sometimes they are put down because to let them live and suffer from an incurable condition isn't doing it any favors and may be a huge finantial drain on the owner who can't afford steep vet bills every time meds are required, especially when this owner has his or her own condition they are spending lots on for meds, or if the owner has a loved one such as a child who needs special care and it isn't cheap!) *neglected,* (Pets usually aren't neglected by their owners. It's when animals end up in the pounds or the hands of other animal rights extremist raiders is when the neglect comes in to it.) or
allowed to die from treatable illnesses in our LA *shelters*
 
(pounds, and that's what pounds do, because ars working there would rather see them dead than go to live with another human.)
 
just
because they are lost or homeless. ARE THERE ANY LAWYERS OUT THERE
WILLING TO TAKE THIS ON?
 
(A smart lawyer who is not greedy, wouldn't touch this with a 30 foot pole unless it meant making the greedy animal welfare extremist pounds give the animals back to their owners every time!)
 
This to ADL-LA would be a step forward in the way Americans view
certain categories of animals - i.e., those classified as
*"companions."* (pets.) This should be a given - not something for which
activists should have to fight for, get arrested over or be
continually dragged into court.
 
-Wrong. Activists should be arrested, and dragged into court, for simply being what they are and making it their mission to cause strife wherever they go!)
 
Once we as a society are forbidden to kill *"companion" animals* (PETS!) in our
municipal *"shelters"* (pounds!) maybe - just maybe - this will pave the way for
other animals *who* (which or that!) are not considered "companions" to be given
consideration under the law as well, and NOT be *violated*
 
(Animals don't have a sense of dignity, so they cannot be violated, even if they can be hurt! The term 'violation' is connected with rights, which is a human concept alone!) *for human
greed, vanity, profit, entertainment, or culinary desires.*

Disgusting! I'll put *s around anything else I see wrong with this garbage, and it's bound to be a heck of a lot.
 
   Subject: FW: [stopthekilling] Extension of *Rights* for *Companion Animals*
    Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 09:07:36 -0700
    
 
        ----- Original Message -----
        From: ADLLA
        To: *Stop The Killing* (self-righteous, ego-puffing, and hypocritical when humans are getting killed every day and they're not crying over that.)
        Sent: 9/18/2007 11:48:03 PM
 
        
 
        *POST AND CROSS POST!* (Yikes! All caps = shouting, chain letter style - and this instruction's how chain email gets started, and it's very typical of animal welfare people to do this)
        Visit *www.StopTheKilling.net* (offensive self-righteous looking domain, typical of animal welfare/rights egotists)
        
        In the news today, a dog *who* (who is for humans, this should read "a dog that was) was taken to the veterinarian's
office in the state of Georgia is being held *hostage* (Implies a kidnapping which didn't happen, and since when is a dog a "hostage"? People are hostages, dogs are impounded!) until the *"owner"* (yes, the OWNER, not the mommy or daddy or guardian or care taker or steward or any other aw term, so no need for the quotes around it, dude.)
pays the *nine-hundred-dollar bill* (Holy crap! That's horrendous! The dog probably didn't even cost that much to buy in the first place, no?) owed to the vet. This is *receiving
tons of coverage in the mainstream press,* (meh...If you say so - I haven't heard of it, anyway, lots of chain letter hoaxes claim the same thing!) which is discussing the
issue of *companion animals* (cats, dogs, rabbits) (Uhm dude...Er, like...Most of us know what pets are, and what kinds of pets are commonly found in households! DUH!) being given *more
standing in the law.* (which is sometimes mentioned in the media, but is still ridiculous and absolutely wrong. Animals are not and never will be people, or come before people except in the depraved minds of the animal activists who hate their own species...) As *the journalist* (Which journalist?) explaining the story stated,
*"If you took your daughter to the dentist for dental work* (This is a dog, not your daughter, a blasted dog, for crying out loud! Any journalist who attempts to equate children with animals needs to have their credentials as well as their head examined, not to mention, they just wouldn't belong in a media job!) and couldn't
pay the bill, the dentist wouldn't be able to hold your *child hostage* (Again, this is a dog, not a child! But it seems to me somebody is either trying to get out of paying a tremendously outrageous vet bill, or a vet is trying to bilk a dog owner out of their hard earned money!)
or send her to an *orphanage."* (Orphanages are for children! Dogs go to the pound or a kennel, doofus!)
 
 
Even though under our *draconian laws* (Draconian law would be forcing people to treat their animals as children and thereby end pet ownership!) animals are still *considered
someone's "personal property,"* (Obviously you have a problem with that, which makes you an ar extremist. Get a life!) there are many judges across the nation
who are apparently *awarding "companion" animals extra considerations
in dealing with issues similar to this one.* (Not because they are as sadly and scarily twisted as this, I hope, but rather, because of other factors like who's pet it is and who has a stronger case for keeping the animal!) Some judges have extended
the term "personal property" in dealing with *companion animals* (They're called pets, dude...) to
"personal property *who* (Who is a human...) make a positive impression and difference in
the lives of those who own them!"* (Again, yes, people do own pets,the animals don't care what you call them, but anybody who cares to keep their own rights to be benefited by their personal property, should care, and shun your disgusting rhetoric and call it for what it is, extremist animal rights propaganda!. And yes, everybody who has ever owned and loved a pet knows pets do make a positive difference in their lives, but you animal rights nutters want to take that away, and that is the bottom line with you here!)
 
Now, of course, ADL-LA believes that animals should have intrinsic
value and be accorded *rights* (Rights is a human concept and cannot be applied to animals...) independent of their meaning to human
beings. Because *non human animals* (of course they're non human, they're animals! You're making me want to throw up!) are indeed *sentient* (IRight up there on the ars favorite words for describing their idea of animals, right along with "innocent" "voiceless" and all other tripe. Give me a break!) and able to
*suffer* (As you ars continually to fantasize about, you just can't stand that somewhere, a human is happy, or that an animal and a human are happy in each other's presence! Again, get a frickin life! Yes, most of us know animals feel pain, get excited over treats, miss their owners when they're away, have foods they like and foods they dislike, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! That does not make them little children in fur coats!) *- feel pain, fear, pleasure, disappointment, depression, etc.* (Yadda, yadda, yadda, I just covered that...) -
they *should* (NOT) be  granted rights irrespective of any "human"
considerations whatsoever.
 
(Oh right. To you, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy, and an ant should be granted the same consideration as your child since your child is of no more value to you than an ant...You pass with flying colors to be a good little souldier in the PEta/HSUS/ALF etc. army.)
 
But, in light of *how companion animals are treated* (Pets, dude, pets!) inside the *prison*
walls of LAAS and other municipal *shelters,* (the pound) this broadening of the
term "personal property"  being given by some judges is a positive
step forward. Therefore, the veterinarian in Georgia is going to
either be forced to give the dog back to the owner or make sure the
dog gets a safe and loving new home; he will NOT be allowed to send
the dog (as he had initially intended) to a *shelter* (pound) with the dog's
death the likely outcome.
 
(So..It's a money-grubbing aw extremist vet, then. Yes, I hope he/she is forced to give the dog back to its owner!)
 
This issue set ADL-LA members to pondering how we can use this new and
more progressive perspective in thinking about *companion animals* (Pets!) to
serve LA's own homeless and lost animals. It seems - if we are to
agree with the many judges who are giving *companion animals* (Pets!) 'extra
consideration' - that when a  *companion animal* (Gads, I've never seen so much repitition of an offensive phrase except for the flamer who flamed somebody's guestbook with the words "bitch pants" Get it through your thick head, it's PETS!) is lost, the "shelters"
(yeah, they are pounds) should be unable to kill the animal because they have an owner
somewhere. Even if the owners make no attempt or are otherwise unable
to find their missing pet, the *shelters* (pounds) should be forced either to
find this animal a home or care (humanely!) for the animal's physical
and emotional needs for the rest of his/her natural life.
 
(Gosh, for a second there, I actually thought you were going to say something truly compassionate and sensible, and say the pounds should be forced to track down the owner and give the animal back to him/her! So - you didn't say anything surprisingly and refreshingly decent after all...)
 
Furthermore, animals *who* (should be 'which' or 'that') don't have owners ("strays") are the de facto
personal property of the community in which they are found - and,
therefore, *a portion of the tax dollars (more then 22 MILLION EACH
YEAR) given to the department of Los Angeles Animal Services by the
citizens of Los Angeles should be allocated precisely to finding homes
for these animals as well, so that they can "make a positive
impression and difference" in the lives of someone else who chooses to
own them!* (Who wants to shell out more money for useless taxes? people are already being taxed for more important things such as schooling and for other things they probably don't even know or care to support. And if I didn't have a pet, I should not be expected to pay taxes so some mangy flea-ridden mutts or alley cats are foisted on people who should have the right to choose to get their pets elsewhere than at some dumpy pound, and there's no way I'll support any funding to help the institutions that participate in raiding pet owners and importing sick and vicious dogs from other countries to perpetuate the animal overpopulation myth and put pet shops and breeders out of business, eventually ending pet ownership altogether, as pound pets get spewtered before they're allowed back into a home!)
 
Therefore, no *companion animal* *Blimey! Okay, I'm going through this nauseating thing to tally the number of times you churned out your favorite PEta phrase! And they are still pets!) should ever be *killed,* "(Like it or not, animals do have to be killed. If that 3wasn't the case, everything that moves on this planet would be living on vegetation only! And sometimes animals are killed to prevent the spread of disease, sometimes they are put down because to let them live and suffer from an incurable condition isn't doing it any favors and may be a huge finantial drain on the owner who can't afford steep vet bills every time meds are required, especially when this owner has his or her own condition they are spending lots on for meds, or if the owner has a loved one such as a child who needs special care and it isn't cheap!) *neglected,* (Pets usually aren't. It's when animals end up in the pounds or the hands of other animal rights extremist raiders is when the neglect comes in to it.) or
allowed to die from treatable illnesses in our LA *shelters* (pounds, and that's what pounds do, because ars working there would rather see them dead than go to live with another human.) just
because they are lost or homeless. ARE THERE ANY LAWYERS OUT THERE
WILLING TO TAKE THIS ON?
 
(A smart lawyer who is not greedy, wouldn't touch this with a 30 foot pole unless it meant making the pounds and greedy animal welfare extremist vets give the animals back to their owners every time!)
 
This to ADL-LA would be a step forward in the way Americans view
certain categories of animals - i.e., those classified as
*"companions."* (pets.) This should be a given - not something for which
activists should have to fight for, get arrested over or be
continually dragged into court.
 
-Wrong. Activists should be arrested, and dragged into court, for simply being what they are and making it their mission to cause strife wherever they go!)
 
Once we as a society are forbidden to kill *"companion" animals* (PETS!) in our
municipal *"shelters"* (pounds!) maybe - just maybe - this will pave the way for
other animals *who* (which or that!) are not considered "companions" to be given
consideration under the law as well, and NOT be *violated* (Animals don't have a sense of dignity, so they cannot be violated, even if they can be hurt! The term 'violation' is connected with rights, which is a human concept alone!) *for human
greed, vanity, profit, entertainment, or culinary desires.* (This passage sums up this judgemental self-righteous egomaniac animal extremist for what he/she is.Someone whose bigoted, dictator views run so deep they want to force everybody to eat only carrots, soy and greenery, even if a human hates it or is allergic - oh, but the animals can go on eating meat, right? Hypocrite! Or maybe you want to force pet owners to feed their cat a vegan diet? Hypocrite! And wear only plastic and other synthetics, even if they are not comfortable or even good for people, never see animals except in picture books and on outdated, anti-human nature programs, and all of this on pain of getting bullied and insulted as greedy, vain, etc. if one doesn't comply.

internet of them? Doesn't say much for your own character, does it, hmmmm?

You're a spammer yourself, and if anything, in competition with the others.

Besides, if I refuse to put your lousy link up on my site, you could always do

birthday, and that of my sister (her aunt) is coming up, and my mom's a month

Spammers and their Loony Subject Lines

Quarantine: 699 Message(s) Search:

Argh!

I had to go through all that because a few messages from my friends were
mistaken by my isp for spammers!

Sifting through all those messages and making sure to sort the few friend
messages from the mass of spammers wasn't exactly my idea of passing time
online.

But while I slogged through this task, I found more spammers to laugh at

I did get my friends' emails out of quarantine and back into my inbox, so
that was good, too.

Another Good Post about Chain Email

Here's another great post about chain email.

http://articles2.org/e-commerce/chain-emails-hateem/

Chain Emails, Hate'em!

This week I received for the hundredth time a chain email that's appallingly
stupid. This one announces the closing of Hotmail.com, the popular free
email service. As it explains, the user must send the chain email to all of
his/her friends in order to avoid the cancellation of the service. It goes
like this: since hotmail.com administrators don't know who is really using
the service nor the real popularity of it, they are sending this email to
contact all their users and find out if the service is being used and then
decide if they keep the service active or close it, because of the economic
problems they were having. This is just one of the versions I've received.

Obviously, this is not going to happen. Hotmail is the most popular free web
mail service and they don't have any plans to cancel their services. Sadly,
this is just one of the many chain emails I've received. Issues range from
free gifts from notorious companies to good luck promises, help for sick
kids, free money, free software, etc.

What fundamentally bothers me about these chain emails are two things:
first, the time and resources that are wasted sending these pointless
emails; second, the nonsense people swallow.

E-mail is one of the most used Internet tools, and it's a real shame to fill
it with trash that only wastes people's time. This is one of the main
reasons why some companies limit internet access to employees, because
instead of raising productivity, web hosting servers get loaded with trash.

But of all the chain emails I've received, the ones that annoy me the most
are those that say things like "If you send this to 10 friends, you will
receive a surprise, if you send it to 20 friends…" People that send me these
emails not only make me waste my time filling my inbox with useless stuff,
but they go and promise me happiness and good luck (some even threaten me!)
for continuing the chain.

For all of those that follow these chains, let me tell you, you are just
wasting your time and that of others: hotmail is not going to stop service,
you are not going to help any kid with cancer, you are not going to receive
any money nor (please!!) are you going to have any luck as you send your
stupid chain email to more accounts.

If you too are annoyed by this trash, you can use the following answer, and
probably some of these guys will get the idea:

"I just received your chain email. About 1,000 people have sent me chain
emails and every one of them has died in the following 6 months, probably
caused by the 'Chain email curse'. You will probably die soon if you
experience any of the following symptoms: 1) tiredness at night, 2) Hunger
just before eating, 3) Inability to remember your license plate number, 4)
stupidity".

Some Myspace Users Who Do Not Like Chain Letters - Fancy That! Hehe!

CHAIN LETTERS: EXTREMELY ANNOYING, ALL FORMS, ALL TYPES!!

I liked chain letters when I was about 10 years old. Get a chain letter in
the mail and send it to 5 of your friends and watch it all go and come
around again. That's when I was about 10 years old.

Then we all got older and it seemed to have disappeared. I don't know if
chain letters actually disappeared or if we were just too old to care
anymore.

The first time I got a chain letter text message on my cell phone, I thought
the sender was a total do-do head. Maybe it was just something unusual. Then
I started getting them from different people, both male and female. I'm glad
that I pay for a text message bundle and I don't have to pay for message
after message, message after message. Um, please, stop sending this stuff to
me. It only makes me wonder why my so-called friends do this stuff!!!

E-mail text messages, too. Here, I'm thinking that I have a letter from a
dear friend and its B.S! I appreciate some people thinking of me. Oh, wait,
they are not thinking of me or wishing me good luck or health and happiness.
They are running out of people to send the chain letter to!

MySpace chain letter bulletins! Here we go again. "Re-post this bulletin
again to wish love on the world or to show God your love." Sometimes I will
re-post it for someone if they are a friend.

What's shocking to me is the number of guys who do this. If I'm thinking its
annoying or childlike for women to do, I cannot understand why a guy would
do it!

CHAIN LETTERS: EXTREMELY ANNOYING, ALL FORMS, ALL TYPES!! Who agrees with me
on this? If you agree, copy this blog and send it to ALL your MySpace
friends or put in it a bulletin. Don't forget to send it through e-mail.
Next send it through text messages. Then get addresses out of the phone book
and send it to everyone through the mail until you have spent your life
savings on paper, ink, envelopes and stamps!

I was just kidding about that, if you didn't know it.

-Well, I don't have a Myspace account, so I'll kudo this person here
instead. Great post! I also liked these entries.

Don't tell it all-do you want a stalker??

If you are someone who reads my profile alot, you know that I put my
interests up and take 'em out and put 'em up. I'm taking them down again.
MySpace is not a personals site and I feel like its a personals site when I
display all that info about me. I know MySpace is supposed to be for
networking. Am I gonna really get a new friend because we both like "The Two
Coreys" or we both listen to Robin Thicke? I don't think so. A fansite may
be used more for something like that. And definately a profile advertising a
business. I am not trying to advertise my self. I've had a wonderful time on
MySpace getting in touch with old friends and associates. I do enjoy the
entertainment of MySpace and seeing how different people did thier profiles.

I've also written about the dangers, large and small, about telling all of
our business on MySpace. Small dangers like someone pretending to know you
by telling you about yourself by getting the info off of your page. Large
dangers such as someone knowing your name, location, family, etc , etc. I
have to be careful about that, too.

Time to filter out friends again

I've filtered out my MySpace friends before based on the R-rated contents on
their profile, their R or X-rated profile pix, and just to clean out the
friends. (I've been past that "OOh, I want to have a big number of friends
on here" for a while.) Now I'm filtering out for my own benefit. I'm tired
of seeing Bulletins like "Ni@@as in the House" or "How to eat p*ssy right",
"Why women are b*tches" etc, etc. If a person has over 40 friends on here,
they probably won't even know-and if they are not my friend in real life,
I'm sure they don't care.

There is another Myspace blogger who's as sick of chain letters as the
person above and as I am. But I can't post her entry as she wrote it
exactly, neither do I want to just point anyone to her site, because,
erm...Well - because of some lingo problems, and I had other additional
ideas and it just needed a bit of touching up IMO.

Email forwards

Ok, first I have to admit that there was a time, probably a good 10 years
ago, when I was pretty "e-gullible," if you will, and I believed the warning
emails I received, and I passed them along to my friends and family, out of
genuine concern no doubt.

It took ONE response from someone saying, basically, umm, yeah, tardo...
this is a hoax - check it out.... to get me to stop forwarding those damn
things.

So WHY is it that there are a few people who just can't stop? I swear that
if someone sent them the following, they'd forward it:

WARNING!!! LADIES, THIS IS IMPORTANT, SO BE SURE YOU FORWARD IT TO EVERY
DAMN PERSON YOU KNOW.

Whatever city you live in, there is a guy there named Chuck who likes to
flash headlights and slash at people's ankles with an axe. He has been
targeting women with extremely huge butts, thin lips, skinny limbs, and
greasy, matted, dandruff-laden hair. He puts razor blades in their food and
arsenic in their beverages, and he goes online and tries to lure their
daughters into underage cybersex, and he has poison perfume samples, tapes
of babies crying, and terrible BO because he doesn't use cancer-causing
de-odorant! He likes to microwave plastic, which we all know causes cancer
as well, and he would like your money for Katrina and 911 victims, and he is
working with the terrorists and the Mexicans (who we think are in cahoots
anyway), and he could be hiding in the back seat of your car right now,
waiting to slash your ankles and snatch your daughter or niece or any
under-age girl who gets into the car with you, and this would never have
happened if only our children were allowed to pray in school, and you had
passed on every single good-luck friendship chain letter you ever received,
to every single email address you ever heard of!

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T GO TO YOUR CAR! PASS THIS ALONG TO EVERYONE YOU
KNOW. IT MIGHT SAVE THEIR LIFE. AND IF YOU DON'T PASS IT ALONG, I AM GOING
TO TELL CHUCK AND HE WILL NO DOUBT COME FIND YOU BECAUSE HE KNOWS YOU HAVE
AN ENORMOUS butt, thin lips, skinny limbs, and that you never wash your
hair!

P.S.: God bless America!!!!!!

For the love of all things good, please don't send on this stuff to anybody.
Please!

And when I repeatedly reply back to you and everyone else you forwarded it
to saying "this is a hoax," don't get mad at me because you are a moron and
can't figure out that John's Hopkins University would not publish a cancer
study (with several misspelled words) in the form of a chain email.

Don't get hot under the collar when I use the "reply-all" function in my
email to debunk a hoax that was sent to me by someone who put you, me, and
everybody else under the sun in their list of email address for passing on
junk to. I didn't get your address by myself, nor was I the one stupid
enough to pass on the chain letter to you in the first place! Want to get
mad at somebody for exposing your precious address to the whole world in the
Cc field, yell at the idiot who sent the chain letter to both of us in the
first place!

Do not send me this shart at work after insisting you need my work email "in
case of emergencies."

Do not forward anything race or religion related. I'm not in the least
paranoid about different races taking over my country and have no tolerance
for people who are!

I know that God does not work through the disreputable means of spam, which
chain email is part. I'm sure some religious hoaxes and chain email rants
are actually originated by anti-Christian twits who just want to see if they
can fool and manipulate religious people into passing on their dreck!!

I know that just because something claims to be from God, doesn't make it
so. Chain email does not come from god, nor is it any substitute or even a
good way of showing what a good friend you are and how much you apparently
care about me!

Don't pass around fake petitions claiming that our children are in danger if
I don't type my name at the bottom of this email and forward it to everyone
I know.

Please don't send stuff about "baby killers" or about marriage being "in
danger" in email forwards.

Please don't send forwards telling me that there will be no social security
left for me because of those blasted Mexicans or whatever race of the month
is currently prey to the racial paranoid chain emails going around.

Please don't send emails with pictures that don't load.... or with pictures
that do (unless they are pictures you actually took).

Quit forwarding videos of some stupid kid putting maxi pads all over
himself, which I think could possibly be construed as child porn.

Stop forwarding stupid quotes supposedly from famous people. 50% are bogus
or misquoted anyway.

Stop passing on lists of supposed facts and trivia. They are often not facts
at all and a trip over to any hoax debunking site can debunk a good lot of
them.

Stop sending these annoying "Getting to know you" surveys that asks an
endless number of pointless, meaningless questions such as what color my
kitchen dishes are and if I like croutons or bacon bits on my salad. (I
don't even like salad.) Those things are so long and time consuming, and the
questions differ just a bit with every time these surveys come around, I'm
sick of getting them, nor could I remember all of my friends' answers to
those pointless questions let alone care to fill out the infernal thing as
well, only to get another one almost like it a week later!

Don't send me joke forwards! I know they are still chain email, especially
after getting the same stupid jokes in my email from different sources
twenty times within the last ten years! There are plenty of humor sites
where all the forwarded jokes are archived! If you like them, go there and
have fun, but please, don't circulate more copies of it all over the net.

Don't send the chain letter that offers excuses for sending chain email!
I.E. "I care about you. So, I forward jokes. Now, if you care about your
friends, please pass this on to let them know, and next time you get a joke
in your email, please please please know someone cares very very very deeply
for you! Pass this on and share the caring!"

Stop forwarding any religious whining chain email that tells me Christianity
is in danger and I can save it and be a better Christian and show everybody
else what a good Christian I am by passing on the chain and spamming
everyone with copies of the forward all over the net! I'll scream especially
loud if you send me one that whinges on about how joke emails are being
forwarded many times more than religious chain email because everybody's
afraid to admit to believing in God! I've been on the internet for years. I
can recognize a chain letter manipulation when I see it, and in my
experience, I've received just as many religious chain email forwards as
jokes!

Stop passing on glurge chain email in any form, from stories to make me cry
to poems or sayings about "mom stuff" or "friendship" "I've learned" "I
believe" "A simple friend VS a true friend" "the virtues of a hug" "the
virtues of a smile" "Friendship is like" "Love is like" "If I could catch a
rainbow for you" "Internet ten commandments" "Email prayer of kids" "The
darndest things kids say" "Kids on love" "Kids on the Bible" "How good it is
to be a woman" or anything like that in a forward. If it's a chain letter
forward, it's been around the net and back a million times or it will be
soon, and it's phony!

Please. Please. PLEASE STOP PASSING ON THIS SHART.

Please remember that when you're tempted to send sayings and quotes about
"God" and "His glory." in chain email forwards!

If you want to send me religious content, you're welcome to if it comes from
your own heart, in your own words, or from anywhere BUT chain email
forwards - provided you know it's something I'm already inclined to agree
with.

Chain Letters, Extremely Annoying

This is a great entry about chain letters on a Myspace blog.

Sick of the Ban-Happy Scare-Mongering

I was outraged when there was to be a report on whether or not trampolines
should be banned because of kids breaking bones.

What in heck is this society coming to? Kids break bones in car accidents,
should we ban cars too? Kids break bones falling in the living room against
furniture, and break toes running in the house and stubbing them on the legs
of a chair or sofa, good gosh should we ban furniture and living rooms too?
People get injured and suffer broken bones skiing, maybe we should ban ski
resorts and disallow people to ski on any hill as well! Kids fall off
skateboards and have mishaps rollerblading, OMG, gotta get rid of
skateboards and rollerblades too!

Kids get hurt in the playground, woops, we should outlaw playgrounds!

People have always risked injury and gotten hurt millions of ways throughout
all of human history, and it's time to see the ultra pro-ban movements for
what they are, nothing but fear mongering, exploiting any tragic story that
they chance upon in order to further their "Let's ban this! Let's ban that!"
agendas and control and run our lives, and trying to use our children to
scare us into screwing ourselves out of our rights and freedoms to live our
own lives. All the big-brother movements can back the heck off, like
yesterday! Stop scaring us about our food, stop scaring us about our
livelyhoods, stop scaring us about our books, stop trying to ban everything
that might resemble some kind of fun and that might actually *gasp* give us
and our kids some happiness!

Chat Room Idiots! Argh!

Warning: long, frustrated rant ahead.

This morning, I was chatting with a friend and some other people in an audio
chat room. And believe it or not, the fact it's audio doesn't always prevent
misunderstandings or people from acting like idiots.

Cases in point, this morning when we were talking about our pets.

First of all, there was one joker in there, who everybody knows is a cronic
joker, everything out of his mouth is a flipping wisecrack or attempt at
being witty or funny, and sometimes he's funny, sometimes he's not.

Someone on the site was saying how they love animals, which IMO is it
necessary to say if people already know you have pets? She's a bit of an ar
anyway, so I don't like getting into too many discussions with her about it.
Anyway, she said that, and this joker guy said "I love animals too, pork,
chicken" you get the idea.

Sorry, but I've heard that kind of thing from him before, and from others on
the net in different forums when they deliberately tried to joke and tick
off the ars all at the same time. I'm just tired of it, and I do
differentiate between food animals and those that are my pets. We weren't
talking about food anyway, we were talking about pets and their different
behavior etc.

No one really laughed at his joke, but he cracked so many while online that
he was bound to get groans, laughs, or jibes back, IMO, it just looks like
attention-seeking and gets tiresome after a while. But this joker wasn't the
problem in the room.

There were a couple of others there who treat their joking like some kind of
daggon religion, and they don't even attempt to let you know they are
getting what you're really saying when you want to say something that isn't
just another unfunny wisecrack to add to their own.

Such was the case of this guy when he recited this really stale joke along
with the declaration that people didn't own their cats, cats owned them.

Of course, that is animal welfare/rights extremist speak, and when a stupid
stale joke is added, that makes communicating with such a person even more
painful. The joke was that dogs have masters and cats have staff. I've seen
that along with the joke about the dog thinking his owners were gods VS the
cat thinking he was a god more times than I'd like to count. I was anything
but impressed with those half-baked jokes the first time, and I continue to
get sicker of them every time they crop up anywhere.

Like sheesh, people. Cats and dogs don't have any concept of religion, and
they don't feel any differently toward their owners just because they are
different species. Cats and dogs want food, a place to stay, somebody to
play with, and they can be equally demanding on their owners. Just because
cats tend to have a more independent nature than dogs and some might want
something other than what their owner is giving them at the time, doesn't
mean cats are elitist and that they own their humans, or that dogs are any
more loyal and actually view their humans as more masters than cats do.

I pointed it out to this guy that technically your animals don't own you, in
other words, I was trying to make a point that no matter what kind of animal
it is, it's still an animal and if it's yours, then you own it.

I was trying to explain that to this guy, but he just refused to acknowledge
any attempt at trying to understand where I was coming from. He babbled on,
getting perturbed at me for pointing out that cats and dogs really weren't
all that different when it came to making demands on their owners, and that
they didn't own us.

But my friend was still in the room, so I didn't want to just clear out.

The guy then made the idiotic statement that technically he was the boss of
his house, but it was really his wife who was the boss.

Like what the hell!? This was about pets VS. humans, not husbands VS wives,
now he was joking and trying to blurr the line between what a pet is and
what a wife is!? *Gags and rolling eyes!* and if he was still trying to
joke, I wasn't laughing, and for gosh sakes, there is a time to know when to
cut at least some of the attempts at joking long enough to really look
around to see if whoever you're talking to is still laughing or just wants
to be understood on at least some level.

I said something to the effect of "But that's your wife, not your pet." And
he said "Ohhhhh, she's my pet...I love to pet her."

Ahem - not that kind of pet, moron! And let's not go there, please!

All I said was "Well, I guess that's just you." because I couldn't think of
anything civil to say at this point, let alone anything he wouldn't just try
making a huge, unfunny wisecrack about, or take further into territory I
didn't care to venture.

Then he got all hot under the collar because he could tell I was really
getting disgusted by this point, so oh my goodness, I wasn't laughing at his
jokes! He started accusing me of being too serious, taking myself too
seriously, not having a sense of humor, please, your average internet troll
falls back on that sort of spew when their posts aren't treated like
literary masterpieces.

The other girl (not my friend) who was also in the room, ganged up on me as
well, and when he ranted about how picked on he was because he only had
grade four in school or something, and basically gave me hell for not
laughing at his stupid jokes, and that I should always joke all the time and
laugh at his wisecracks all of the time.

He's not the first to get his knickers in a knott when some joke wasn't a
big knee-slapper. I've seen people get into snits because they posted joke
chain letter forwards, and they actually got up in arms when it was pointed
out to them that the jokes were archived and discussed on hoax busting,
chain email breaking sites.

Seems the jokers take themselves and their dumb jokes way too seriously, and
if you don't like their jokes, and you'd like to stop this idiotic
wisecracking long enough to actually insert something a little more
intelligent or even just your point of view, they attack you as if not
falling off your chair laughing at their joke was some kind of huge sin and
a weakness in your character.

The guy stormed off the room in a pouty, self-pitying huff, and his friend
right after, not before she called me "Miss Perfect" and then she slammed
out.

Both these people had to be at least in their 50s so shouldn't have behaved
so childish, especially not the woman, that was an all out name-calling she
gave me. So, unless and until she apologizes, we are officially enemies.

Jokes are fine, but not when they are all that ever comes out of somebody's
mouth. There are times when people need to look around and see if anyone's
still laughing, and stop listening to themselves joking long enough to try
to understand that someone has another point of view they want to express.
Likewise, couldn't people be considerate enough not to expect one to be
joking around all the time?

I don't have much patience for people who continually make poor attempts at
joking, like they always have to be center of attention, always trying too
hard to make people laugh, and it's amazing how many people actually laugh
and up the anti purely out of politeness so as not to offend the chronic
joker. And there is a difference between someone who jokes frequently and
