I haven't looked much into this particular statistic in a long time, but the US has a proud tradition of incarcerating the highest percentage of it's population of any country in the world. Welp, since the whole economic superpower thing is falling apart, and Australia is now officially more obese than the US, we have to be in first place for something.
I wonder if the UK is still #1 in Teen Pregnancies... We've held that title for damn long time |

I agree that actions have consequeces, but is 8 years in prison really the right consequece for this particular action? I think not. I hope you think not as well. Altho I don't really care what you think.
I this case a private citizen filed charges against a person. The police by law can't ignore it, they have to investigate. Obviously they found enough evidence to arrest him and he goes to trial, and now the courts have to decide if he guilty or just foolish. 3 things could have prevented the entire incident.
1 - The kid could have used good judgement (which he didn't or maybe he wasn't joking now wouldn't that be a twist) 2 - The lady could have done nothing, she had to fill out all kinds of paperwork to get the police to respond (think about that) 3 - Change the law to give the police more power to ignore the law and do whatever they want (now that is not a good idea)
Last as other have stated the guy is NOT serving a 8 year sentence he is awaiting trial, nothing more. He is still innocent as it stands right now.

Shortening quotes and ignoring the context may lead to a statement that one didn't want to give really. See how this works? It is as easy for any law enforcement guy to give a spin on everything. To do good things only, of course. And only against "terror". Obviously. _______________________________________ Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime. |

Therein lies the problem. Most people don't see a problem with this kind of thing. "It's for your own good" is being lapped up by useful idiots (pardon the Leninist phrasing) left and right. I once thought it was strange, but now it's getting downright pathetic. |

The whole concept of mens rea, or more accurately its replacement in the USA, seems to be ignored in America now.
Was looking at some of the crimes I could do in the UK and get less than eight years, based on newspaper reports: arson, murder, ****, drunk driving with killing four people, and all sorts of other serious stuff will get me less time. Bank robbery still likely to get you more than eight years.

I had to execute a Furby once because it was watching me
Of course, like any right minded indiviudal, I subjected it to Stalinist Justice
I put it in the freezer for 5 months, then took it out and tortured it until it agreed to sign its own confession (which of course I supplied it with as it no longer had even a sembelence of limbs)
Then I invited everyone in the State to come and view its show trial
Only after it pled Guilty to its crimes did I finally sentence it to be taken from that place and be bludgeoned to death with a claw hammer
Later, it turned out that it wasnt a Furby but a cat, by that time the Furby had defected to next door

I agree here far to much prejudice about gaming and the like. Thing is the majority of gamers, contrary to popular belief by the 'normal' community, can distinguish between real life and fantasy, as you probably very well know. It has gotten to the point where the 'normal' community (thanks to the media I guess?) have put us all in the same category.

This. It is such that its now the normal to say oh well its your own fault time to be punished. Problem is, yes while this guy clearly did something to offend someone, the punishment doesn't fit the crime. And it's getting more and more of a regular occurance. It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself. |

This was a case of players monitoring other players. OR perhaps this was a case of a mother monitoring a 9 year old playing a game. Perhaps the guys comments upset this 9 year old which prompted the mother to act. There might be a lot more to this then a simple joke.
Did your ever get into trouble for swearing as a kid or did you ever get into trouble for saying the wrong thing to your parents ? If you did those where supposed to be a lesson about thinking before you open your mouth. Obviously this kid did not get the lesson. EVERYBODY KNOWS |

The fact is that we are surrounded by morbid humor on a constant basis. It's been that way for a very long time, and the internet has only fueled such. I mean, ffs, do you remember the "you give love a bat name" meme that was going around after the theater shooting in Colorado? No one ever gets punished for black humor, so why would anyone think that their joke is but so far out of the ordinary?
Was it in bad taste? Sure. But if jokes in bad taste were a criminal offense, I could think of a whooooole lot of people who should be in prison right now. |

True, but the justice system being what it is in the US, the kid could end up sitting in jail for years while technically innocent.
Jails are huge buildings where hundreds or even thousands of technically innocent people spend their time waiting for trial. Many of those people are stuck there because the system is too clogged up or somehow obstructed for the case to go to court. It's just as good as being in prison. Same thing for the tax-payers, same thing for the person who's locked up.
The fact that you're considered innocent in the eyes of the law is little consolation when you're confined to a cell with no idea when you might be getting out. |

Maybe but joke are tailored to an audience. You don't make certain jokes when children are present.\ You don't make racial jokes where you might bet your ass kicked. The internet and internet games are a party line you don't know is listening. How many corps in EVE are adult only, there is a reason for this.

I won't argue the system of speedy justice is well defunct and needs to be fixed. I seriously doubt this kid is a flight risk so he should be out on bail by now, makes me wonder what is going on there with that.

1 Yes I do. They dont understand them so it has no effect
2 I dont make racial jokes. I state racist facts like "Elephants are better than people"
3 I dont care who is listening. If they get upset, thats funny to me

That's the other issue with the internet anonymity thing. You don't know who YOU are talking to when you say things. If you did, pedobears would never get caught up by FBI agents. Did that guy know his joke was aimed at a very young person? I have no idea, but I am willing to bet not. I have found that in online video games, people are often rather shocked at the age spread of those they play with when/if they find out. I've played games with people as young as 8 (kid was a damned good enhancement shaman too) and guys as old as their 70s (most of those have actually been in Eve). Do you always ask the stats of a person you are talking to before making a joke? If so, you're probably known as the corp/guild creeper. |

That is right you don't know who is listening so you watch what you say. Just like you do at work or in front of a cop or sometimes in public. I may be sitting at home right now in private, but this discussion is VERY public.

You are correct, and that is both a blessing and a curse. All I can do is speak out in hopes of lightening the curse aspect. I feel the way I do, because I have been where that guy is right now, just without the jail aspect. Some people don't know how to take sadistic humor, and that has caused me more than one problem. Do some people dislike me for the things I say? I'm sure they do. Does that really affect me? Not at all. However, as soon as I have police kicking in my door over a joke that put no one in direct harm's way (unlike where the smartass pointed out the "fire" in an airport example earlier, as that causes panic, and panicked people are much like panicked cattle), then something has gone very wrong in someone mind, and it isn't my own. |

I'm not surprised. Yes, cause I'm sure the countries all you people are soap boxing about are perfect. People these days have no respect for other countries. Your total lack of respect or honor is evident when you call a country like the US, 'Murica. Do you honestly think he's going to get 8 years? He's not. Stop being over dramatic. No respect for other countries???? It's hard to respect a country that claims to be: "the best country in the world", "the country of freedom", a country of immigrants but that hate immigrants; a country that bases their economy in starting wars against other countries... Should I continue? And and a funny one: a country where a vid of nudity (barely a nipple) is banned but a vid of a body being shot with a shotgun is ok. PLEASE SHUT UP...
