It's such a screwed up world right now.  There's a lot of hysteria and a lot of bad decisions being made.  Already, I hear people saying things that would indicate we should throw our freedoms away in the interest of someones feelings over their religion.  Man, have your religion and let me religion in private.  Don't force crap on me and if you don't like texts, twitters or cartoons then look the other way.  

Freedom was relegated to “rights.” What else did you expect?

That is what you get for allowing them to relegate your freedom to “rights.”

Yep.

What I find really amusing about this story is that the comment that shocked the most the political connected (to the ctrl+p handlers) was her disrespect for the nurse with Ebola... Happily she survived, but is the offensive tweet promoter still free? I am just curious...

money is faster...

People have already gotten criminal records in the UK for offensive tweets and Facebook statues, this isn't really anything new.
I do not find anything bad with people being responsible for what they do. Maybe that would cause them to think before doing, which is not often the case.
On the other hand there is always a ground for a misuse, meaning a strict form of censorship.

think, write, express... did you know that the Nazis never build the censorship apparatus? they just took the keys... from the "good intentioned people", at least work will make them free Cheesy.

Sure. On the other hand, you should be held responsible for your actions in a good and in a bad way. Sometimes people confuse the freedom of expression with the incentive to think before acting (is that your case?). That is my point.

Threatening to kill many people and asking others to help... that's really terrible.

By the way: did anyone here watch the Mean Tweets videos on Jimmy Kimmel ? (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRBoPveyETc)

There is a difference between being offensive, to let's say a group of people you don't like, and making a direct death threat.

Surveillance state at it's finest. Exactly where the spying agencies are transforming society into.
