I don't get this site, legally

How can people be saying that they want to eat people, and how juicy they think it would taste, or that their dog is performing a sex act on them etc? I haven't yet read any posts about paedophilia but I'm sure it's on here. I don't get how that can be legal. My guess is if you say something very dodgy, they make a note of your IP address and your details you filled in for registration.

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • It'd be a waste of police time to follow up every statement ever made online related to illegal activities.

    A website like this is full of false confessions, so the money and hours spent tracking down some person who it later turns out made the whole thing up would be ridiculous.

    If, during some investigation, a user was found to have posted comments here pertaining to illegal activities, then I'm sure that could be used as evidence. But just randomly sweeping websites like these in the hopes of catching someone admitting to doing something naughty would be dumb.

    • True. Talking about stuff will not get you arrested. The NSA algorithms look for correlations with actual criminals. Some of this crazy talk results in negative correlations. It's called data mining.

    Let me guess: you're very new here?

  • This is a bait site for the NSA. They profile people by IP address. You now have a profile for associating with us. You are a suspected pervert.

  • People should be able to talk on the Internet about anything without being monitored and reported.

  • How can it NOT be legal to say you think people would taste delicious or that your dog was performing a sex act on you or talk about pedophilia?

    One of the above might be an admission of a crime, depending on where the poster lives, but even so, saying it isn't itself illegal.

    • Well, if there is a cannibal on the loose, and someone has written online saying they would love to eat someone, shouldn't the police look into that? It would be crazy if they didn't.

      • You aren't really serious, are you? The police? What police? Don't you think they are a tiny bit busy with REAL crime, not some imaginings of a 12 year old, who hasn't even passed puberty yet?
        Perhaps in the world you want to live in people should be arrested for what they think, but I hope you are in the minority. The US already has more people in jail than any other country on the planet and you want to add those who THINK about eating human flesh or THINK about having sex with children?
        It's people like YOU who should be reported to the police and be incarcerated for being DUMBASSES!

        • You assumed a lot, misunderstood a lot and insulted a lot. You must be really difficult to know in real life.

        • I didn't say they should be incarcerated but they should be looked into, to see if details match. That would do more good than what the police usually get up to...i.e nothing. I love this site for the fact that people can say all their weird thoughts, but some criminals like to brag about their behaviour. For all we know the government is collating info on all of us anyway from what we buy, where we live, work, education and figuring out the likelihood that we would commit a crime.

          • Did you write Minority Report? Time to burn books according to this OP, folks. Careful, the thought police are a-comin.

      • IF there was a cannibal on the loose, forensic evidence, CCTV and witness statements would be far better lines of investigation than Googling 'I want to eat people' and hunting down every result.

  • Meh, I ain't no pedobear so I don't care if the government is watching for that shit. Just leave the potheads alone I say. Frankly, I don't give a shit what happens to the sex offenders. The way I see it that kinda surveillance is a service and a blessing to the rest of mankind.

  • Thinking is not a crime. If it were we would all be fucked.
    If somebody was actually raping and killing people they probably would not admit to it publically and even if they did nobody knows who is lying or not.
    Message boards are not a good source of evidence.

  • 1) Discussing fantasies isn't illegal. I sometimes fantasise about lining politicians up against a wall and seeing how many times I can actually shoot them before they die - doesn't mean I've ever killed anyone, or that I even own a gun.

    2) People lie, especially here. I am sure if I were to post my plans for kidnapping politicians here, and the AFP were to come knocking at my door, my first defence would be "Oh come on, that site is full of trolls, I was having a laugh!"

    Now, if you will excuse me, I'm having a politician I know over for dinner....

  • Freedom of speech? Saying you fantasize about eating humans is very different from confessing you have eaten humans...

  • I can't believe the stuff that gets put on this page... when I've said pretty benign that have gotten taken off by moderators, yet posts about sex acts with dogs and cannibalism stay.

    • What are some questions you've had removed by mods, if you don't mind sharing?

      There could be other reasons they were removed.

        • How about wishing for ALL people to have far, far fewer kids? Smart people don't necessarily produce ecologically and socially responsible offspring, and every additional human is a threat to all other life on earth and the resiliency of the biosphere.

          Just sayin'....

    • So talking about planning to eat someone has no connection to a real crime that could take place?

            • Neither one of those actually states that they are planning to eat someone. They profess to be tempted. But both seem aware that this wouldn't be a good thing to do.

  • What's not to understand? Thinking and speaking are not illegal. It would be a bunch of wild goose chases if they followed every comment. Real criminals would use that to their advantage. You still need hard evidence, not just words.
