Just as clarification Iceman, it was a joke.

Nothing new.




Questions for you. Who said the following? When was it said?

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they allow disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children now are tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when eleders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

George Orwell in his book 1984.

(This is a guess on the fly so I'll see if I'm right).

This refers to an article from Friday in the Sacramento Bee, for which i do not have subscribed. A 14-year old girl had participated in a photographic collage of school children, showing Bush with a knife in his hand, and wriotten below was "Kill Bush". short after the site went online, agents of national security appeared in biology lessons and arrestzed her and led her away. During interrogation she did not allow to get intimidated () and insisted on not having planned to assassinate Bush, but wanting to protest against his policy, and that she completely dislike him. she said that she herself were a peace-loving person. the father of her said that while he does not accept a behavior like it was shown by his daughter when writing that subtitle, he also does not accept the behavior of the police and agents, brandmarking their action as exaggerated.

Hm, what was it with news-essages about routinely fingerprinting schoolchildren in Western countries, routinely taking genetic samples of them, and the widening of use of ID chips attached to clothing?

a peace loving person that like to draw knives in peoples hands is this the same type of peaceful person that owns a 357 magnum or an assault rifle

Wrong.



Here's an english version of the story:

"SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Upset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson vented her frustrations with President Bush last spring on her Web page on MySpace.com. She posted a picture of the president, scrawled "Kill Bush" across the top and drew a dagger stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page on the social-networking site after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense."


Full story.

Is that so ?
So i guess that over 50% of the american population should go to jail seeing as they possess firearms, automatic weapons etc...
220.000.000 firearms are freely circulating in the USA.
