FOR YOUR NFORMATION I was there to get phone numbers from girls...for the Justin "Beeber" Fan Club. And I did briefly have the bottle up there ($12!!!!) but only because it was near frozen (at first).
I didn't want to hurt him, just that stupid-ass haircut.

What kind of dick throws a bottle at a kid? You may not like his music, but what the fuck are you doing at his concert then?
Be the adult, and shove that bottle up your ass instead.


You get numbers from 12 year old girls..?


You dont? :3

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I think it's called "mobbing" what happened to her. An online mobbing is one thing, but when they get a home address and a phone number, that takes it to a whole new level. It might look funny from the outside, but when complete strangers know more about you than a complete stranger should, it rattles your cage, believe me.

Also there's a residual paranoia that fucks with your mind after the mobbing stops. Sometimes people will say very innocent things, but there is a coincidence to it that sort of, behaviorally, puts the victim back in the same place they were before.

I'm all for free speech, privacy, etc., but if I could track down some of those 4Chan fuckers, I would do it. If the Pentagon could find them, I'd support that. I'd support prosecution to the full extent.

In reply to this comment by chtierna:
I'm a bit taken back by the lack of sympathy. I do think she made stupid choices and that she said stupid things, who hasn't. I haven't been harassed by a whole community of people online, but it must be just beyond horrible, especially if it connects back to your real life and you can't shake it off.

I have a real problem with communities like 4chan etc when they start going after someone, because at the end of the day if they drive someone beyond what they should, it's just a success story, it's just something to be proud of, it's just such a remote incident that they have no reason to connect with the people they are causing to suffer.

I saw that comment of yours and really appreciated it.

Sadly, I think that blaming anybody but the perpetrators of the harassment is still sort of missing the point.

This thing really bothered me. I was stalked back in the nineties (in my 30's at the time), and I experienced something like Jesse experienced, and I don't think anybody here really understands how terrifying that is.

If it was rough on a thirty year old man, I can't imagine the effect it would have on an eleven year old girl.

I'm with you on this one, she is 11 and didn't deserve this treatment.

Should sit next to me in a bar, and shoot his mouth off.

The girl absolutely DESERVED every single piece of ridicule that she received from the internet. She posted naked pictures of herself on an anonymous imageboard, that has a notorious reputation of figuring out who the hell you are if you don't hide your tracks well enough. Not to mention she provoked them, knowing full well what they are capable of. Anyone who has been there for long enough knows how quickly they can track down information on someone to find addresses/jobs/phone numbers/spouses/family/etc. It's almost scary how good they are at that.
Not to mention most of the people that get a "hard-on over fucking with a stupid eleven-year-old girl" are stupid 11-year-old boys, something that eventually they will grow out of, but will be replaced by a flood of other 11-year-old boys with the same/similar online demeanor.

As to the second bit, best case you are partially correct, worst and unfortunately best case, NOT!.

You're a cunt.

I'd beat the fucking shit out of you if you ever came near me.

She's eleven. You're a cunt.

Everyone here who thinks that's funny is on my shit list from here on out.

What I find humorous is the shock and outrage from her and protesters like her. She has a legal aid phone number written on her arm. She was anticipating the possibility of getting arrested and then is like, oh my gawd I'm getting arrested!

When I got my 14.4 US Robotics modem, I dialed into their bulletin board that they advertised on the underside of their modem. I thought it was very interesting. My mom not so much when the phone bill came in and she demanded to know who was calling a California phone number for 2 hours.


Yeah, it sounds like when was I was a newbie during my teenage days. I didn't know same area codes does not always mean local calls.

I still use my dial-up modem as a backup ($9.95 per month for ten hours a month, but it gives me Giganews with it!) once in a while when my cable modem goes down (stupid TWC RR, Adelphia, and @Home).

I went to a funeral for a 16 yr. old friend who was murdered a few days ago.
700 attended, The church was so full, the event was simulcast in another room within the church. They had live music, On screen video, PowerPoint presentations and so on. Something else they did that was cool was they displayed a phone number on the screen so all the youth could TEXT in their condolences and then the Text messages were streamed along the bottom of the projection screen LIVE as they came in. Great use of technology. An amazing address from the lead youth pastor and words from many of the youth & friends of the deceased.

So, it doesn't have to be boring...
You want boring, yes, go to a Catholic church - you want non-boring go to a Pentecostal church

>> ^Deano:

I think going to church should be more exciting. I attended a memorial mass yesterday for a friend who died last year. I may be an atheist but they really have to jazz things up.

Happens a lot with people who don't ask any questions about dog/cat temperaments/sizes and buy whatever they think is cute. Then they end up with a really big dog, or a siamese cat that bites their kids when they "play" with it. Tons of people moved off and left pets when they lost their houses, just left them wherever..in the yard..locked in the house...out in the neighborhood. I'd imagine people would abandon their children, but they might end up in jail if they did that.

I understand people make mistakes and end up with kids (although a lot just dont bother trying to prevent it), but it's a choice to take in a pet. Government has programs to let people give up their children if they can't deal with it, but when it comes to pets there's very little past animal control and they only really come out over violent animals. So, I think the law should pick up the slack and bust down people who take in pets and don't do right by them. Dog fighting rings are one of the more popular things the news focuses on, but there are a lot of dogs just simply being starved to death.

Parents adopted a german shephard who was maybe 2-3 years old, people have him in their back yard chained to a tree with a massive chain wrapped around to where he barely had 5 feet of slack. The collar was too tight and digging into his flesh. They threw garbage out there with him, he'd eat what he could of it...and of course it had cans/glass/whatever else in it. They rarely gave him water, my parents were secretly feeding/watering him during the summer while they tried to get someone with authority to remove him to come out. When they finally did come out, they said since he had food and water..he was considered cared for...the stuff my parents had put out. So they had to just talk the owners of the dog into giving him up. He's about 8 years old now, has had heart worms and problems associated with that and lots of messed up teeth due to his early years, and has what I'd call abandonment issues but those could be related to him getting older and not hearing/seeing as well...he just doesn't like to be alone. But it pisses me off still knowing that he has spent the rest of his life suffering from what those people did to him. Yes his life is better, and he probably wouldn't have lived as long if they had decided to keep him but it wasn't the first or the last animal they had before moving off.

Strays aren't nearly as helpless as a dog in that situation. Although I know a lot of people take it upon themselves to aim for animals crossing streets while driving their cars...and leaving out poisoned food and water. Was some news stories of a guy catching strays and feeding them anti-freeze...which basically kills your kidneys and you die of kidney failure in all it's glory....slow and painful.

Spay and neuter your pets and avoid puppy and kitten mills. This wouldn't happen if there wasn't an extreme abundance of stray cats and dogs dumped by owners who like puppies and kittens and get rid of them after the cute stage has come and gone.

People fucking do that? Well, people leave their cats outside, de-clawed.
A couple days ago I walked outside, saw this well groomed cat. I walked right up to it, and said, "What the fuck are you doing outside?" It mewed at me. I was about to take it home when I saw the tag with a phone number. When I called the owner of the cat, they didn't speak a lick of English and never even heard of the damned cat.

If you think its a joke then try donating. If its just a parody then the links to donate won't work. Or try phoning the large donation phone number which gives you the Dan Southern Leadership Group in Texas, whose website is selling Stephen Baldwin books. I don't think its an intentional parody but it's certainly an unintentional one.

It's a parody done by him. You see, he actually has a sense of humor.
There are some opportunistic christian preachers who are every bit as corny and tactless. So I can get why some people think this is real. . . They do a pretty good job of committing to the premise.
But seriously, just read this page and it should become obvious that it's a joke.
Here's one example, right under the default donation of $4.21
"Some have asked why $4.21? Job 42:10-11 is the model and inspiration for this movement. $4.21 is the lowest possible left to right combination of these scriptures."



Holy shit nanrod, I think you're right. I actually did try the larger donations number a couple days ago, it was disconnected and I took that as another sign this is a parody. They've since replaced it with a mailing address. And going as far as I can with bullshit donation info shows a credit card payment system that appears to work. Jesus Christ.
