Without their consent...

Sounds like the equivalent to sticking your fingers into your ears and singing "lalala" You've just crystallized your total disregard for cause and effect which is why you're not bothering to examine either the DJ's or the radio station's behavior. The DJ's may have gotten away with it on a...

You obviously don't watch enough Judge Judy :p You may find this interesting. It doesn't cover criminal liability but it does address what you are talking about. http://bc-injury-law.com/blog/tag/take-your-victim-as-you-find-them

You know what, you are so mixed up on this. You insist on the nurse having been wronged because you insist on apportioning the blame for her demise on something other than her. You then go on to explain the inadequacies of the shock-jocks behavior. But you then refuse to make any link between...

This is what I don't get. Why is it necessary to look for any further reason for that nurse's response other than: a) She had a history of suicide attempts b) She was jerked into world-wide publicity without her consent. It really, really irks me to think of the possibility that that job was...

Actually leaving the second line out benefits your argument but as you didn't understand mine how could you know? Anyway in response to your second line: They "ought" to have known that they were causing harm by the fact that they believed their call was one of a large number of prank calls...

The problem with your argument is that the shock-jocks said afterwards that they thought the hospital would have received many prank calls and that this was why they thought it was ok. They knew they were causing harm through this very fact alone. You, like them, pass off responsibility for...

Perhaps, God forbid, he's enjoying his weekend. :rolleyes:

1) If you think deceptively coaxing somebody into a course of action that could lose them their job is not your problem then you're a moron. 2) If you think (1) is ok because other people are also doing it then you are a moron * 2 The radio DJ's actually cited point 2 as a defense for their...

Just need to wrap quote tags around the appropriate text. eg and with the name and with the name and post reference I believe Colin caused a stir when he adjusted the names when doing this :p

I am guilty of this though I've always hated attaching anything foreign to me. Watches, rings and the like.

The first cartoon was hilarious. [The one about the pacemaker] :D

No probs. I used to be quite involved in SEO until I realized how insidious it was. Here's an example. This week I had a local client ask me to re-do his small website. He already had a GoDaddy account for it so I had to login to his account to see what was what. Next thing I know I have...

Here's the vbulletin manual entry for it http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/what_is_spider

Are you talking about the ads? If so, these are target based. See third paragraph http://support.google.com/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=9713 Highly invasive stuff.

It doesn't take religion to do this. Why do you think the phrase "I'm just doing my job" is so widespread? It's a common human trait to shirk responsibility for your own decisions. I would go further and argue that elevating religion as a special role-player in this behavior could be seen as a...

Of course the benefit of religion is that it prevents the misplacement of authority to a stranger you talk with on the internet.

Sounds like an excuse to me, get back here and justify your existence some more. :p
