First Cyber-Bully Trial

 

A shocking story about a young girl who has committed suicide after a nieghtbour set up a fake MySpace account to bully and intimidate her.

 

Just  be interested in peoples opinion on this, in light of the recent problems on here.

 

Sad, so sad, I think too many don´t realize how vulnerable others can be. Here is another shocking cyber incident....

 

MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida teenager committed suicide by drug overdose in front of a webcam streaming live video to the Internet and some viewers may have egged him on, authorities said on Friday.

 

There can be real consequences to rudeness.

Just as I expected, the ones I thought would jump on me did, with the exception of one who has not yet posted against it.  When the boot is on the other foot comes to mind.............................

 Jump on you?  As I said, you preach "respect" but enjoy lighting the fires.... 

 

When the boot is on the other foot?  I really do not understand what comparison you are making here.

I think this is well beyond rude.....watching someone die for kicks......it´s sickening. 

I can´t imagine how the family of this person feels.

F**king hell, what on earth is going on here!!!?!?!?!  Sorry, this is the first time I ever swore here, but how the hell can you compare a suicidal teen on some social networking site with people arguing on this website about deleted posts?

 

More to the point, why the f**king hell am I wasting any further time reading such dross?

 Gee, I don´t know the answer to that, but it is evident you are rather distressed by a few words on a forum from someone you don´t know.

 

My point is, being polite and considerate is always a good policy to follow, in particular with people whose mental/emotional state you have little knowledge about.

 

Words are powerful.

 I am not distressed, I am just soooooooooo frustrated that you blow such things out of all proportion!  {#lang_emotions_head_bang}

A song for people who still call Isanbul constantipole!!!

 

 

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it´s Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it´s Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you´ve a date in Constantinople
She´ll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can´t say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can´t go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
That´s nobody´s business but the Turks
