Glad to hear your ok Ed. I hope this works out for you my friend. Geo gave you some good advise, and I do hope you'll do as he recommended. Any ways, I wish you the best and look forward to seeing you back on line soon.

Sorry to hear about your problems, Ed. We hope everything works out for the best!

Ehm i seriously hope more than 80% of your post was a bad joke or else my opinion about the US is even worse now.

Ragnarok - tis no joke.... A kid at my nephews school, a first grader, was suspended and the police called when he kissed a girl in his class on the cheek. No [censored], they actually called the police and expelled the kid. Now that kids parents are fighting the Child Protective Service invasion of their family life. They want the child to seek counsiling to determine if he is a sexual predator..... Give ME A F***ing break!

And then there is the kid who took a GIJOE figure to school... Oh that one was a classic.

It gets worse. In the final years of the Roman Empire, the empire began to pass stupid laws, much like the ones we see passing now... thank you so very much to the liberals of America... where simple things, inocent things, are now considered criminal behavior.

I read about a kid who told his teacher that he did not like her and wished she would die, because she took his toy away from him and thew it into the garbage.... He was sent home for the rest of the week for threatening his teacher and his parents had to take him to anger management.... WTF!!! When I was a kid, if you did not like your teacher, you could say that, then get the failing grade as a thank you, now you get the failing grade and a criminal record.

This crap is getting out of hands.... I could not possibly count how many times my life was threatened in school while growing up... now it seems its a federal offense. Well hell, where in the hell were these laws when I was in school?

Barbarian country. One can kill man and escape the jail, but you can't say something to a classmate because you'll be sued for megabucks. Your laywers lost their mind, guys. I'm kinda ashamed to belong to the same profession as these american bastards-in-law.

Glad to hear a word from you, Ed. I beleive you'll deal with this problem. Kick their arse.

As a sig on rpg.net goes; 'God grant me the strength to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I cannot, AND FLAMETHROWERS FOR HANDS!!!'

As far as I know, the only crimes for which the death penalty is applicable in the US are murder (usually the premeditated form, not things like manslaughter, etc.), and other things, like treason. Threats are not enough by a long shot to warrent the death penalty.

Yet.

*ducks*

Ed, hope all this gets worked out soon. Knowing bureaucrats, it probably won't, but we can still hope, eh?

And who decides what can be called Treason and what isn't?

Good Luck with Everything Ed, we all wait for your return and half-finished-mod-ideas
