March 2, 200421 yr CTW Members QUOTE to be honest thats really not my problem i guess this is what i'm getting at. you implied it wasn't a problem but now it is a problem. i'm just a bit confused by your responses i guess. anyway, i'm guessing you don't want to discuss it for some reason and i can respect that. QUOTE do you do everything the US goverment tells you you should do and think? me, personally have my own oppinions and thoughts, be them right or wrong, they are my OWN try it you might like it that's a bit of a cheap shot, isn't it? i would have hoped that, love me or hate me, at least most CTWers would recognise me as somebody capable of doing their own thinking. QUOTE no, thats why i asked you honestly can't see how information which is misleading can be harmful? your doctor prescribes you a painkiller. he means to tell you to take one a day but he wrongly tells you to take 10 a day. you die of an overdose. that's obviously a very crude example but it's deliberately so to make the point clearly. in the case of these internet hoaxes we're discussing, perhaps some guy reads this mail about how dumping roofies (a so-called date rape drug) in a girl's drink can get him laid with ease. so he asks a friend about getting some and his friend says "no problem". the problem is, however, that the friend scores him some G (also known as a date-rape drug). the first guy dumps it in some girl's long island ice tea at a club and, of course, she dies because G and alcohol and be a lethal combination. one minute a guy is getting a stupid email in his inbox. later, a girl is dead. a little heavy handed perhaps but it is just a hypothetical example. alasdair "I've got medication, honey.

March 2, 200421 yr CTW Promotors Alasdair, I get what you are saying hon, but surely a guy as intelligent as you are, is well aware that the WWW net is full of misleading & wrong information???!!! All that is being said here, in this topic, is that yes the email is a hoax & how many emails, virus etc are sent out?, lots!! However, these emails awaken our awareness to things, so as much as it is bad, it has a good point too!! Techno, Techno, Techno
March 2, 200421 yr CTW Members I agree 100% with Lisa on the awereness thing. But also, some people need to be aware that comman sense is mostly what is need here also when such things like this pop along ! ClubTheWorld.com's OFFICIAL Events Reviewer
March 2, 200421 yr CTW Members QUOTE this has caused major trouble in another forum.doh. i wouldn't say major trouble - we're just having a discussion aren't we? QUOTE i dont think the hoax has done major harm at all i agree to some extent. i don't think this specific message has created a problem but if you read my first response, in the bigger picture, messages of this type are creating a huge problem for a variety of reasons. see you alasdair "I've got medication, honey.

March 2, 200421 yr Author CTW Members alaister(sp): i meant in on another message board its caused problems,funnily tho it seems the only ones with a problem are the men? i know what ur saying about false info,but this isnt as harmful at all,the sterile drug,well,u cant get,and the rest of the mail makes gilrs aware. if a bloke is considering drugging a girl then he's fucked up anyway and he can find out info on drug rape drugs anywhere on the net.this mail isnt helping him at all,maybe if he believes the sterile bit he'll panic,who knows?! the fact is this crime is increasing and it seems the men dont think its rape,its like when they pick up a paraletic/drunk girl and shag them even tho the girl moans no under her voice,they think they can do it. im also aware not all men are like this,but it is increasing.
March 2, 200421 yr CTW Members i guess this is what i'm getting at. you implied it wasn't a problem but now it is a problem. i'm just a bit confused by your responses i guess. anyway, i'm guessing you don't want to discuss it for some reason and i can respect that. i didnt say it wasnt a problem, i said it wasnt my problem! BIG difference, as iv said before i pay for the service and people get paid to sort it out.....but again OFF topic QUOTE you honestly can't see how information which is misleading can be harmful? your doctor prescribes you a painkiller. he means to tell you to take one a day but he wrongly tells you to take 10 a day. you die of an overdose. that's obviously a very crude example but it's deliberately so to make the point clearly. in the case of these internet hoaxes we're discussing, perhaps some guy reads this mail about how dumping roofies (a so-called date rape drug) in a girl's drink can get him laid with ease. so he asks a friend about getting some and his friend says "no problem". the problem is, however, that the friend scores him some G (also known as a date-rape drug). the first guy dumps it in some girl's long island ice tea at a club and, of course, she dies because G and alcohol and be a lethal combination. one minute a guy is getting a stupid email in his inbox. later, a girl is dead. a little heavy handed perhaps but it is just a hypothetical example. and again, we are refereing to the first post, rape, sterilization and rohypnol. your could prove your last point by doing that with any drug and any cercumstances, not just through Emails Edited March 2, 200421 yr by Louise

March 2, 200421 yr CTW Members QUOTE (Louise @ Mar 2 2004, 03:42) your could prove your last point by doing that with any drug and any cercumstances, not just through Emails well of course but that doesn't change the fact that misinformation spread by email hoaxes is potentially dangerous. the logic you're using here is flawed, surely? it's like saying: "people are killed with guns" "well sure but people are killed with knives and poison too" the second statement may be true true but has absolutely no bearing on the accuracy of the first. QUOTE emails like this are not gonna make a rapist rape......only his needs do that again i agree that's true but it has nothing to do with the discussion. you're picking apart tiny details in what i already admitted was a heavy-handed, fictional example when i think, with respect, a bigger picture perspective is needed to appreciate the problem we're discussing. alasdair "I've got medication, honey.

March 2, 200421 yr CTW Promotors The disscussion started with what Kitty thought was a genuine email, however, it has since come to light thats it is infact a hoax & peeps were saying, hoax or not, we should still be aware as spiking goes on in pubs & clubs, not whether or not hoax emails make rapists & so on!!
