Inching towards Utopia…

‘CYBER bullies could face up to three years’ imprisonment, with their bullying set to be criminalised in a new bill being introduced to the New Zealand parliament.’
Now wait for the unintended consequences and malicious mis-use of this idiot law..the bastards never learn, do they?

    It will be like the ‘Hate speech’ laws. Ensnaring the innocent more than the guilty. I look for it to be used to harrass worse than the cyber bullying in the first place.

      Yep, exactly.
      Teenage spats will be elevated to major legal cases and the effect will spread like pond ripples, until all free speech is chilled. And people begin to self-censor. :evil:

    Speaking of idiot NZ Utopians, apparently how KIDS react to something is now guidance for adults!

    Article by a woman. Why am I not surprised?

    Sorry, I read the headline as “Lynching towards Utopia”. These Poundland specs aren’t all they are cracked up to be!

    Politicians do nothing but re-enact the Law of Unintended Consequences. Perhaps they intend to?

    The problem with these laws is who defines what bullying is?The obvious answer is some slack witted judge and prosecutor appointed by a politician with either an axe to grind or a political agenda to push or both.

      Yep.
      Most of this “bullying” crap is fuelled by the hysterical ever-reaction of silly little girls who have been overprotected and can’t deal with vicious or even merely thoughtless comments online.
      Of course, the obvious answer–stop frequenting those sites and stop putting up personal information is never suggested.
      Because the silly bitches actually enjoy the drama and the “victim” status.
      Any person who slashes his/her wrists over online comments is a fuckwit who would be doing the gene pool a favour.
      But as always, all of us have to be lectured, coerced harried and persecuted in the name of the lowest common denominator. And that denominator gets lower by the day. :evil:
