Why God, Oh Why..

This is the main thing that irritates me the most about some people when it comes to the internet. It took me a six minute make of my chow mein to actually think on this and just get all pissed off all over again. Its like, people don't understand and KNOW the goddamned definition and the certain law based rules here in America that applies.

The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks - a network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information from any other computer (and sometimes talk directly to users at other computers). It was conceived by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S.

Internet of old, how cute!

Today, the Internet is a public, cooperative, and self-sustaining facility accessible to hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Physically, the Internet uses a portion of the total resources of the currently existing public telecommunication networks.

See a very important word? PUBLIC.

Right now, me posting all of this crap, being that it's in my humble opinion, and knowing full well how stupid I may or may not end up looking (*giggles*), its all going to be public. Because I want it that way. The second I hit that 'Publish Post' button, it means that it'll be sent through their lovable servers, and up for viewing within five minutes of me clicking. Public viewing that is.

So, want to sue me because I think you're dumb.., and posting your medical records online, and cry about how people leave you and post pictures of a very, very hideous balding man on your page? *laughs.* Right. Sue. But it'll go nowhere. Lets find out why!!

This little excerpt was pulled from the Internet Privacy Law article..

Internet users sometimes do not realize the amount of privacy that is lost when accessing the online world. Usenet postings and contributions to bulletin boards may remain archived forever. Public records are available free or for a fee. While much of this information has been freely available in the past, the advent of the Internet has made it available more easily and quickly.

See? Remember when Fred said that deleting your blog posts doesn't erase stupidity? Fred didn't hack into your computer, invade your privacy, and wrote all that stuff down.. Nope. He just wrote it, because he saw it, like I'm sure a million of other people have because you chose to make your personal problems and issues public.

He has done nothing to you that would have caused you to lose wages.. though, I do so hope that someone that you work with HAS seen Fred's post, and sadly has seen the stupid replies that you left to let everyone KNOW whom he was talking about. Sweetie, its nothing to feel flattered about. Seriously.

Now before I lose myself in writing a bunch of political and law induced jargon, I'm going to say this.

1. You can't sue because someone called you a flaming, high functioning retard in a blog post.

2. You can't sue because someone refuses to leave a group that THEY made with their lindens. (No copyright clause!)

3. You can't sue over lost lindens! Though, I wish. I'd be rich by now, some of the outfits that I bought back in my pre-fashion days suck! (Eventually, someone will be able to sue, and hopefully the right people.)

4. If you can't handle the truth (i.e. If you vomit on yourself after reading this) Then please, shut off your computer, unplug it, sell it, call your ISP and tell them sorry that you've wasted their time and get your lines clipped. I mean.. really.

5. I just like the number five.. o.o
