Aneirin -> RE: A word of warning, don't insult the president (9/14/2010 9:45:51 AM)
|
I believe he was a drunken seventeen year old, so that says a lot really, seventeen he is not considered to be legally an adult, and drunken says he got alcohol to be drunk, either it was given to him or he bought it, so illegal on both counts. If he stole it, illegal again.
But as to firing off insults and threats to all and sundry, the internet now makes that possible, perhaps people do not think of the consequences of what they may write to the world community, one wrong sentence and think of the consequences with the more volatile people in the world. Can what is read influence people who read it, well that all depends upon the words written and the reader, for it takes all sorts in this world of ours.
But I believe what prompted this seventeen year old to emotionally write what he did to the president of the United states of America had something to do with the tv programme he was watching, and that was reported to be about 9/11 the world trade centre atrocity. Now tell me would he have been the only one to have got upset watching such a programme, would he have been the only person drinking copious amounts of alcohol whatever his tolerance is whilst watching something of that nature. He obviously felt outraged at something on that programme and in his less than sober state he responded in the only way he knew, get on the internet and fire a few words off to where he felt was the fitting place, is that wrong given the nature of the events, perhaps it might have been the wrong president, but this kid saw the leader of the USA, whoever was in place, perhaps it was something Obama had done, who knows, even the kid doesn't know and US inland security won't comment as their policy,
But really, to ban a foreign minor from the USA for life for his drunken, emotional actions, I do hope this class of action extends to Americans when they similarly fuck up through inability to take their drink or not be in control of their emotions
Ah, I just remembered the American right of freedom of speech, I take it that does not apply to foreigners, allies or even countries with special relationships.
Or is it Obama saw what was written and thought, 'ah, British !'
