Only in...

Because he is calling you racist, because you assumed black was their skin color.

My dear collegestudent22, once again you are sprouting nonsense without having all the facts.

No. I was pointing out that assuming that they were black was referred to as racist, and the fact that racist = nazi in today's PC world. I didn't assume anything.

Lucksi, that isn't the first time I've heard of that happening. And trust me, plenty of stupid shit happens all over the world.

[The Cid]

When I started this thread, I only wanted to post utterly stupid things my own country comes up with as I´m bashing the US on enough stuff already.

Fine, you want something wacky and German? Only in Germany.

Seems to me that Germany can out-wacky just about anybody given the chance. Don't be so down, man.

A prosecutor says Licking County authorities also considering charges for students who received the photos.

WTF? How can you charge someone with having received a text message??

[Rorschach]

Brave man to consumate that marriage.

Deacon, I know that the US isn´t terribly advanced when it comes to technology. Basicall, you invented the A-Bomb and then just stopped trying. But surely, you must have heard that even the mobile phones can transmit and even display color pictures, no?

Wow, somebody's got a chip on his shoulders.

Anyway, perhaps if you ever used a text messaging service, you'd realize that you can't exactly stop some random person from sending you one. That, I think, is Deacon's point. She sends folks nude photos, and they're expected to be responsible for it?

[BtEO]

No, that's probably just the icing on the stupid-cake.

[collegestudent22]

But surely, you must have heard that even the mobile phones can transmit and even display color pictures, no?

Wow, really? Yes, they can. It's called a text message in normal speech. People don't differentiate when they don't need to be technical.

It's called a text message in normal speech.

No it's not. Generally I've only heard it called a picture message or a PIX message (Verizon's name for it).

[Deacon]

If it's not illegal for that boy and the girl who sent him a picture of herself to have sex together, then how can it be illegal for her to send him a picture of herself naked, even if it can be proven that he specifically requested it? I mean, it seems that he'd have to have distributed it to adults or even minors at least without permission in the latter.

[Deacon]

I don't know of any state wherein two minors (say two 15 year olds) having sex is illegal. A 19 year old having sex with a 15 year old, yes, but....

[collegestudent22]

@Deacon: I know I have read about teens being charged for underage sex. I´ll have to search for some news about that though.

"In July 2003, a videotape surfaced showing Wilson, then 17, engaging in consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old girl at a hotel party hosted by fellow high-schoolers. A jury later found Wilson guilty of aggravated child molestation, which carries a mandatory 10-year sentence and requires placement on Georgia's sex offender registry."

Only in Georgia, USA

In the meantime : Only in fun loving Germany can you hold a Muhammad look-a-like competition

A Muhammad look-a-like competition is slated to take place during the Frankfurt Book Fair, and it has already offended and outraged people far beyond Germany. But Titanic, the monthly satirical magazine behind the inflamatory event, insists: "It will be a blast."

[Hirschof]

Only in California could someone have the idea to create a company that specializes in e-cards telling someone to get tested for STDs.

Roses are red
Violets are blue,
I'm low on white blood cells
You might be too.

Now I want to be arrested for swearing at a toilet. Easy money, baby.
