Well I am not going to start a flame war, but our society has some pretty messed up issues. 20 years for spam, but you can kill a baby being born and were ok with that, as long as it doesn't personally affect us.
Sorry and no need to reply to my comment, i am not going to change your mind and you mine, so ......
I know what you are saying, and I also see that by your "no need to reply" thing you are just hoping to get your statement out and then run and hide - thats just lame and pisses people off.
First off I'm going to say that spammers shoudln't be sent to jail for 20 years. People fail to look at this realistically and I have no idea why that happens.
point 1 - spam is not THAT BAD come on now guys, you spend a few seconds a day decidign whether to read something or not, if not you delete it, its over, done.
point 2 - spam hasn't really ever hurt you unless you are dumb enough to believe whatever you see on informercials
point 3 - we are going to send people to jail for spam? yet at this identical time the majority of the people are against the death penalty.
well I'll tell you what - I'd rather get SPAM filtered by my
already in use SPAM filter (and delete it later) than have my tax money supporting some do0d that didn't do anything with his life and is now getting free food and housing. While I, at the same time, am struggling to get a master's degree and pay my heating bill.
Overall point - get a spam filter, have it filter the stuff you don't want, delete the stuff you don't want after its filtered
automatically and be done with it. Everyone is getting pissed off about something that is fairly controllable.
