1. Absolutely disgusting...

*kick

[NMMNG]

2. Stupid SOBs!

I sent them a very angry e-mail.

[enigmatic]

3. It's NOT going to happen

Please read my posts on that thread..

[friesianrider]

5. It had better not...

But don't be so sure.

[enigmatic]

6. I'm sure

Very sure.

[smbolisnch]

4. kick

[Floogeldy]

7. Don't be a sucker.

A dog is not going to be drowned in water.

It's like the old "100 Grand" ruse.

Don't be so gullible, McFly.

[barb162]

8. The fact they ever bring this up shows they are sick bastards

I wrote a nasty email telling them to drown themselves. If they want to increase their ratings, they can do it all kinds of ways, but to mention what they mentioned, is sick of and by itself, even though I think they wouldn't do it.

[Floogeldy]

9. "They" have you wrapped around their little fingers.

I don't know how else to say it. Don't be a sucker.

[barb162]

10. I'm not. And I don't get that station, hell I never heard of them.

My point is they are mentioning animal cruelty and that is sick. I'd like to see them get fined and the jerk who mentioned it fired. Where this sick publicity stunt would totally backfire on them/shut them down

[Floogeldy]

11. So, you're not real big on the First Amendment?

x(

[barb162]

13. not when it violates FCC rules, not when it concerns someone yelling

fire in a theater, not where animal cruelty is concerned....

[Floogeldy]

15. None of those things have happened.

What are you talking about?

[barb162]

17. saying you will be doing something

that is a crime (cruelty to animals, killing a person, whatever,eg) It doesn't have to happen...saying you are going to do it is enough to get your ass nailed under FCC rules

"Broadcasting false information concerning a crime or a catastrophe violates the rules of the Federal Communications Commission" (FCC)

[Floogeldy]

20. Show me the rule.

[friesianrider]

22. Methinks she just did...

State law says that animals may only be destroyed by lethal injection or gassing. Intentionally drowning an animal is considered cruelty, and would be prosecuted as the CRIME that it is.

[Floogeldy]

23. Did IQs suddenly drop around here?

Show me the rule applicable to the subject matter of this thread.

[friesianrider]

24. As much as I appreciate your insulting my intelligence...

Perhaps I should ask WTF it is youdon't get about the post you replied to in the first place.

Let me spell it out for you: killing a dog by any method other than euthanasia or gassing is illegal, making it animal cruelty -> animal cruelty is a crime -> what they are doing is illegal. Therefore, not only is it a crime, but even if they are only "threatening" this crime, that is in violation of FCC rules, per the DUer's post which you said "show me the rule." She copied and pasted it right there for you.

Do you get it now, or shall I type slower?

On edit: animal cruelty IS a crime, not "it" a crime :)

[Floogeldy]

25. Ha ha!

[friesianrider]

26. Does that mean you comprehend now?

I'll take that as a yes. :Hi:

[Floogeldy]

27. No

It means that I knocked you out.

[friesianrider]

28. Alright well, can't help you anymore then.

Perhaps the IQ level in this thread is so low because of, ahem, you. :eyes:

[Floogeldy]

29. Ha ha!

[friesianrider]

31. Okay...I'm so clearly outwitted.

Go ahead. You've got last word. :eyes:

[Robeson]

32. I don't think you are "outwitted" at all friesianrider, and there are..

...problems with this that many are ignoring, or haven't seen. Even if this is a hoax, which I'm sure it may be, its called, "yelling FIRE in the middle of a theater". And yes, there are laws against that, which some don't seem to remember. If anyone would like to go back to that thread, and read what the original poster said, they stated further down that so many people responded to this locally, that the 911 number was busy. What if a real emergency had been going on in this town?

The "shock jock" tactics in this case were inappropriate for many reasons. And I've just illustrated one above, though I have no doubt, someone will say, that too, is overreacting.

Again, you don't scream "fire" in a crowded theater.

[barb162]

41. Please take a look at my post 11

And I welcome your comments that freedom of speech doesn't mean that anyone can say anything they want at any time and this is a well noted rule in American jurisprudence.

[Floogeldy]

45. I made post 11.

And you still haven't shown me the alleged FCC rule to which you refer.

[Floogeldy]

47. Do tell!

Please explain the similarities between yelling "fire" in a crowded theater and what this talk show host allegedly said?

:rofl:

[friesianrider]

49. Oh my god...

You are a complete moron.

[Floogeldy]

50. Show me the rule.

Show me the dead dog.

You can't, because they aren't there.

:smoke:

[friesianrider]

52. Like I said

THREE people have pointed it out to you, so I can only assume you either were absent the day God was handing out brains, or you're just a tool. :) I'm sure you can continue this fruitless discussion without me just fine - if your posts on this thread are in any way indicative of YOUR IQ, no doubt you're used to handling things all by yourself ;) Either way, I'm headed nighty-nights. Toodles! :hi:

[Robeson]

53. I'm glad you find it funny....

...obviously, you didn't go back to the original poster, as I said some should - primarily you - and see what he said. He said so many people were calling into the 911 over this that the line was tied up and busy. Thats what screaming "fire" is in a theater. And if someone who legitimately needed first aid had needed help at that time, which could even have resulted in their death, they may not have been able to get through. But roll around on the floor some more, since its such a laugh riot for you. I'm delighted you can find humor in anything....:eyes:

[Floogeldy]

46. Thank you. You are totally outwitted.

I still haven't seen the FCC rule. Nobody has drowned a dog yet.

You were saying?

:rofl:

[barb162]

40. Friesianrider, thanks friend

My several animals are all rescues and I remain active in rescue. I think the idea of even mentioning stuff like this is repulsive at best. It is a crime to do it and your post is also right about the quoted FCC material.

[friesianrider]

43. Good for you! :)

I too think this isn't the least bit funny, nor do I think this "proves" or "draws attention to" anything. The accidental drowning of a child is tragic and sad absolutely, but the adoption of a dog with the intention to drown it intentionally is just sick and proves absolutely nothing.

I know it did not happen of course, but joking about a crime (and in some states animal cruelty is a felony) isn't funny.

[barb162]

44. I totally agree n/t

[barb162]

39. Check post 17; better yet, look up the FCC rules yourself

Oh and my IQ remains quite high; as to the questioned drop of others....

[Floogeldy]

48. Better yet, show me the rule.

You are not my source for FCC rules.

:rofl:

[barb162]

38. The FCC rule is quoted verbatim in my previous post off the FCC site

Not the entire thing, of course, which I amn sure probably runs pages, but the quoted sentence is right there

[Floogeldy]

51. I won't take your word for it.

I need the actual rule. That would be great. A link, too.

Thanks.

[friesianrider]

21. I'm not real big on something ILLEGAL and immoral

1st Amendment my PeTA-nut ass.

[enigmatic]

12. Anti-war activists did they same thing in the late 60's

Read my post on that thread; it was done many times and was one of the most effective things to get people to wake up t what was going on there.

Were they wrong, too?

[barb162]

14. what exactly are you saying the activists did many times

because I don't recall anything they did back then on the TV or radio that bothered me.

[enigmatic]

16. Read this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4323836&mesg_id=4324200

It happened many times; I've personally talked to a few of the ones who did it at both Kent State and Bowling Green.

[barb162]

18. never heard of that one

[enigmatic]

19. It happened

And it's pretty well documented.

This is the reaction they want; if you want to waste your time on something that's not going to happen, it's up to you.

[radwriter0555]

30. Did anyone figure out that this is a hoax yet? Or better yet, a game to

get this doggie adopted?

[roguevalley]

33. I called the station, the governor's office and the aspca. Call them

and leave a message.

[barb162]

42. I left two messages there (the station) last night

[Clintmax]

34. I sent an angry e-mail to the station...

DEMANDING that they put a stop to this despicable act! When I read what they were planning, I got madder than hells! If I lived in Michigan, I would go to the station myself and remove Mindy even from the hands of the two idiots who want to kill her!

[Shell Beau]

35. This better not be for real. What sick bastards! Even

joking about that is disgusting. Child drownings are a tragedy, and everything should be done to prevent them. But this isn't a way to do that. This is just sick.

[sniffa]

36. they shouLd throw in a sack of kittens for good measure

:yoiks:

[MN ChimpH8R]

37. This is a HOAX

a HUGE hoax. Check out the website. There was never any dog in danger.

The site tells people to go out and adopt pets.

[LastKnight]

54. fake, although a sick hoax, it remains a hoax.

[Bride of Cthulhu]

55. Absolutely disgusting...
