You don't have to be rich to use the phrase "That's rich". The 2 have nothing to do with each other, except both use the word "rich".

We want less government, except when private companies don't support our bullshit. Then we want government involvement. That's basically it. Ya'll really want to see Hunter Biden's dick pix, huh?

I'm in ATL. All we get is ice. Trim trees near power lines. Sometimes trees or limbs fall on lines and you have repairs. I thought TX also had overloads aka we haven't built enough new infrastructure to handle our expanding needs. This isnt an unsolvable riddle. They ignored the problem.

Not my job but maybe have a chat with Minnesota or Wisconsin. Any place that doesn't lose all power in the winter, like what seems to happen in TX again and again. Maybe better maintain what they currently have - trim trees near the lines etc. I'm pretty sure they have people they pay to solve these issues. But like I said, it's up to them to focus on this issue rather than making sure guns have more rights than women and ensuring everyone is safe from the menace that is anything non-christian and straight. Making improvements in their power grid isn't what I hear from TX leaders these days... except when the power is out.

If the people who ran Texas cared as much about the power grid as they do about making guns more available, you folks might have electricity during times like this.

Yes. Yes it could.

Something to do with Laundry but I dont get the connection between cows or milk and laundry?

You say stupid things. I do not agree with those things.

Well here we are with an article about encouraging self-harm being made illegal.... and a bunch of people saying it can't or shouldn't be done. :-(

Judging by the comments here, encouraging self-harm doesn't qualify as harassment.

So 1 person at Veterans Affairs Canada did this, is being investigated and appears to be an isolated incident equates to "social workers in Canada are promoting self harm"?

I dont think those are the same things.

We need to invent some sort of gathering of people who understand the laws and decide how they are applied. Let's call it a court of law. Wait a minute...

Some people will always try to twist or redefine words to accomplish their goals, regardless of what the other side does. Might as well try to make good laws like : make it illegal to harass someone until they kill themselves.

Basically they want to criminalize harassment leading to death or self-harm... and people here have problems with that on this thread.

Source?

So now misunderstanding a law is an arrestable offense? Wow, I hope you dont actually work anywhere near a courtroom or in law enforcement.

People that need a guardian is something else? Like young people aka children? Thankfully no young children use the internet. Young people are always kind and thoughtful and never do or say bad things, right? They are immune from depression as well as the effects of bullying. And they certainly have never committed suicide as a result of online bullying. Harrassment until someone kills themselves is still harassment, adult or no.

So murder for hire is legal in your book? Go kill them is fine to say? But INCITING someone, oh that's different. That's a nay-no.

Double literally, yes.

America is headed this way regarding abortion.

"Tech companies mining and selling personal information or court-ordered seizes of devices could potentially be used as evidence to prosecute people who performed abortions, got abortions or helped someone get an abortion in some states."

Harassment laws have been around for a long time, even if you cannot understand them.

If it makes it easier to call it online harassment, then do that.

It was always around and more severe in the past? In the 80's assholes you've never met could harass you anonymously and en mass? Pre-internet, only assholes from your area could be assholes to you IRL. Sorry but your comment doesn't hold water.

And again, the article isnt about criminalizing self harm. Youre right that self harm isnt illegal. It's illegal to tell someone to kill someone. It should be illegal to encourage someone to kill themselves as well. You dont have to criminalize self harm to make this happen.

And if you are confused about the definition of self harm, just look it up.

Changing the legal definition of words after creating laws is beyond a slippery slope - its bullshit.

Weird title of the article that's better stated in the 1st sentence. "The encouragement of self-harm will be criminalised..."

I thought people were supporting making a law that criminalized self-harm. I haven't had coffee yet but is it just me or is this weird?

And I see no difference between encouraging someone to hurt their neighbor, or hurt themselves. So yeah, put it on the books.
