High Tech Bullying, EH?
 

never understand this, parents should be teaching their children to turn of phones and computers etc if it is a problem

Imma kick yo ass!

[/cyber-bullying]

Can't these people ignore the text, or e-mail?

I think it means people that know each other in real life bullying each other through the internet. Not random internet bullying.

I bully people over the internet all the time. What are you gonna do about it? Cry?

is this online bullying?



im cowering in terror!!

You must spread some terror around before cybering !@#$%! again.

i was supposed to be getting a lawsuit against me for "cyber-bullying" but it never happened.

what did you do? tell them "i r l33t h@x0r!"??

no, what parents should be teaching their kids is to suck it up and deal with it. i mean, shit, how old are kids with IM handles and cell phones? 12, 13? aren't they fucking old enough to stop crying and stop having their mommies kiss their boo boos yet?

what do children even need cell phones for anyway? in my day they'd have got a clip round the ear instead

haha. apparently i stole someone's identity as well as cyberbullied them.

scuzzyanalbroom?

hahaha, no, but that was fun.

I melt faces.

you should have kicked her i the shin & save the lawsuit. lawsuit! how crazy can people get?

i found this info. sounds like a crock to me.

Mobilizing educators, parents, students, and others to combat online social cruelty Welcome to this web site! Cyberbullying is sending or posting harmful or cruel text or images using the Internet or other digital communication devices. The stories are heart breaking. Teens who are:

• Sending cruel, vicious, and sometimes threatening messages.
  
• Creating web sites that have stories, cartoons, pictures, and jokes ridiculing others.
  
• Posting pictures of classmates online and asking students to rate them, with questions such “Who is the biggest ___ (add a derogatory term)?”
  
• Breaking into an e-mail account and sending vicious or embarrassing material to others.
  
• Engaging someone in IM (instant messaging), tricking that person into revealing sensitive personal information, and forwarding that information to others.
  
• Taking a picture of a person in the locker room using a digital phone camera and sending that picture to others.

Cyberbullying is emerging as one of the more challenging issues facing educators and parents as young people embrace the Internet and other mobile communication technologies.
Cyberthreats are a related concern. A cyberthreat is online material that threatens or raises concerns about violence against others, suicide, or other self-harm. There are two kinds: Direct threats are actual threats to hurt someone or commit suicide. Distressing material provides clues that the person is emotionally upset and may be considering hurting someone, hurting him or herself or committing suicide.

Creating web sites that have stories, cartoons, pictures, and jokes ridiculing others.???

cruel, vicious, and sometimes threatening messages??

for fuck's sakes,can't people learn to deal without lawyers?

and i didn't even do any of that! she did all of it.

but now her life kind of sucks. karma.

sounds like a royal bitch.

how about korma?

yum.

hostile posts on the intardnet are one thing, but when people take it further into "real life" it's another.

I can how legal action would be applicable if someone posts your home / job address / phone number with the intention of causing problems.

there is very little accountability on the web, and for the most part that's a good thing.....but sometimes people take things way too far. I believe that some actions deserve repercussion.

with that said....the net would be a boring place indeed without ridiculing jokes. :p

someone from this board once threatened to sue me for defamation of character

i'm not sure how to respond to this so i'll list several options that are popping in my mind:

• really? are they crackers??
• isn't one already defamed by virtue of spending time in this place?
• you shouldn't have been so harsh in your review or rather ripped
• [censored]

:eek:

You must spred around....

well i said something fairly harsh to them, i think they just said it to try and give me a scare.
i mean, i assume that was their intention because anything else would be stupid.

Since the Bush Administration has been proven to be a bunch of terroist-supportrs and traitorous criminals the bullying element on this board has dropped off quite a bit...but then, most of the users here are superapathetic drones who affect a radical edge by consuming Sonic Youth, an edgey product.

heres the real hitech bullying-

Tessera Americana

In ancient Rome, a tessera was an identification tile that every slave was forced to wear or face possible execution. The tessera actually indicated ownership of the slave. There are current proposals by a number of companies eager to make a mint, to institute a national ID system for the United States, a tessera Americana. In this effort the companies are supported by a chorus of members of Congress, including Senators Richard Durbin, Dianne Feinstein, and Jon Kyl.

One of the leading proponents of a national ID card system is Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle, Inc., the world’s largest database vendor that owes its very existence to a Central Intelligence Agency contract awarded it in the 1970s. The CIA needed a database to help it organize and retrieve large amounts of information. The agency awarded the “Project Oracle” contract to Ellison, hence the name of his multi-billion dollar company. In September 2001, Ellison told San Francisco television station KPIX, “We need a national ID card with our photograph and thumbprint digitized and embedded in the ID card.” Ellison even agreed to provide the U.S. government the software to run such a system free of charge. However, Ellison’s altruistic offer should be viewed with a healthy dose of suspicion. He knows that if the U.S. government bases a national ID system on his database product, every hardware and software vendor who would interface with it would be require to license his software, which would become a de facto industry standard. Ellison stands to make billions of dollars if such a system is adopted.

Also waiting to cash in are the dozens of smart card vendors that are responding to congressional clamor for a chip-based national ID card containing photographs, fingerprints, retinal patterns, and even DNA data. In addition to the hundreds of millions of dollars that could be made from manufacturing smart cards for the U.S. population (the cards costing between $6 and $10 each), stand alone smart card reader terminals costing around $300 each would be required at hundreds of thousands of locations around the country.

Ironically, because the United States has been slower than Europe to adopt smart cards for pay telephones, health care, vending machines, and transportation, most smart card companies are European and they stand to make the most profit from a national ID card in the United States. These companies include Gemplus and ActivCard of France, Philips of the Netherlands, and Siemens and Giesecke & Devrient of Germany.
