Ummm.....Are you familiar with what a snuff video is?

I thought the title was an open invitation for a first post. Having looked around a bit, I think I will enjoy visiting with this bunch (& perhaps add a bit of weight to the Texian/Southwest faction)

I've never been terribly impressed by verbal admonitions with no apparent teeth. This is probably due to having spent over twenty years in the U.S. Coast Guard, where I always knew exactly what the consequences would be if I failed to follow orders.

While working on my civilian job after I retired from the CG, I once knew an MIS person who had the ability to message all users of our mainframe from her desk in St. Louis. She felt that was too impersonal, so when she needed to do something that could be totally screwed if anyone were on the system, she would call me in Texas and ask me to contact all 25 users in our location and tell them to stay off the system. She could have sent a single system message and then disconnected all users at one time. I never managed to convince her that a simple disconnect is much more effective than a 3rd party message (which may or may not be delivered and recognized as important or authoritative).

I've seen snuff videos, most of which are faked, by the way. What law makes them illegal?


Hi JerryM, I second Cicero's welcome to the Cellar.

Hi JerryM, I second Cicero's welcome to the Cellar.

On topic:
The conspiracy to commit law. 5 years ago it became illegal to talk about a crime you are intending/ or not intending to commit. Just talking about killing someone with others is illegal. Actually doing it of course, is also illegal. Unless they have changed the laws about premeditated murder which I don't think they have. How many are fake v. real is not an arguement or debate I want in on..........And you thought Pingu was strange?http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...comedy&pl=true Huh. Curious.....
Now let me go find that law for you. I wish I had an account with Lexis Nexis, this would be so much easier. Ahhh- here we are:

I fail to see how these activities aren't illegal......really.

That link gives me some server.....in German, or something.
Why is a faked murder on a grainy 8mm film any different from a fake murder in a Hollywood film? Could it be a myth to help marketing crap for big bucks?

I'll be expecting to turn yourself in, Rich. I know you've watched the Magruder film of JFK getting his head blown off.
Oh, and Jack Ruby's performance too...I'll bet you've watched that, haven't you?
