Now here’s a bright idea!
‘Kill the president’ e-mail prompts probe
Santa Rosa teacher gave assignment
Yeah, people don’t participate because they fear the secret service will drop in on them for writing about killing the President. How many even know the damn address of their congressional rep or the President for that matter. Man anyone can get a degree now.
Dear Elected Official:
I hope nobody decides to KILL THE PRESIDENT! “KILL THE PRESIDENT” is not a suggestion I would make to anyone, because it’s not nice.
Yours truly,
Some random loser
When I took the Dante’s Inferno Test – What Level of Hell Are You Destined For? one of the questions was something like, “Are you planning to assassinate the President?” Good Lord! Only a FOOL would say “Yes” to that question on a live, unencrypted Internet poll!
Seriously, wishing for “Tecumseh’s Curse” to return is a baaaad thing, because that would put DICK CHENEY in the White House…hell, I’m all but convinced that he’s the one pulling GWB’s strings, esp. with the Iraq bullshit and all these new anti-free speech laws. GWB just ain’t that smart, whereas Cheney is the Antichrist defined!!
KGS, I think the Anti-Christ would have a stronger heart. Then again, maybe that’s why John the Baptist was so confident that the Anti-Christ’s forces would be crushed at the battle of Armageddon. No leadership after still another coronary…
At any rate, I can’t even fathom this yokel’s motivations for telling his students to invoke the wrath of the Gestapo. Can anyone help me out with this?
You would have to be a complete moron to actually do that assignment. With all the hype on terrorism you would think that an email to an elected official saying “kill the president” would get you in a fucked up situation.
While you’re at it, you should put in terms like WMD or anthrax or Suddam is my love bitch.
Seriously, are people that fucking stupid? :smack:

Thanks for the Dante’s Inferno Test – What Level of Hell Are You Destined For? link
At least I’m only going to the Lvl 2 hell…whoo hoo…I mean doaht :smack:
Level Who are sent there? Score
Purgatory Repenting Believers Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo Virtuous Non-Believers Low
Level 2 Lustful Very High
Level 3 Gluttonous High
Level 4 Prodigal and Avaricious Low
Level 5 Wrathful and Gloomy Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis Heretics Low
Level 7 Violent High
Level 8- the Malebolge Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers High
Level 9 - Cocytus Treacherous Low
Woohoo Level 8!. This one is for all those people who said I would amount to nothing!
Don’t forget “W”.
Nitpick: the “John” who wrote Revelation was not John the Baptist.
Oh, and I scored Level 7 on the test…I think the “suicidal” part put me over the top. Everything else (below Limbo) was “High” to “Extreme”, except the lowest level, which I only scored “Moderate”. Hmmf. I’ll have to work more on stabbing my friends in the back and plotting treasonous acts against God and Country. 
Moving this to MPSIMS.
Purgatory! I have a chance at Heaven! Thanks for the Inferno Test.
Hey, I’m being sent to Purgatory.
And honestly, was this seriously assigned? This looks more like a joke to me. I’ll admit, though, I didn’t click the news story like a good doper should.
I think I just dropped a couple levels of hell. . .
As an active duty military member, I’m required to report threats against the president (and other secret service protectees). I guess that makes me a jack-booted thug, according to Michael Ballou. (The thread title sure got my attention :))
[sarcasm]The gov’t investigates threats against the head of the country? How can we tolerate such fascist oppression!? Now we see the violence inherent in the system![/sarcasm]
There’s one positive thing about this story. Out of two classes, only one student was foolish enough to actually carry it out.
“Dear elected official: What would you do if someone sent email saying “kill the president, kill the president”? I am doing research for a class. Thank you.”
Not too hard.
And wouldn’t you hate to be that guy…?
Will I be investigated for listening to Drugstore’s “El President”? Nothing quite like Thom Yorke urging you to “kill the president.”
Level Five on the test. Not too bad, but I suppose the vindictiveness isn’t a good thing.
