Do you get a free guilty plea if you post on 4 chan?

Tennessee. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

(please don't Google that term).

I did try but looking the term up on Google became inevitable as soon as you mentioned it.

I found it and wish I didn't

 

[tokae]

I'm psychic!
I forsee a chaotic-time, there are "Anons" afoot...
And just perhaps great Lulz..

 

[Snake Plissken]

Sweet. I'm moving back to Tennessee to sue the shit out of every fucking Jesus freak that knocks on my door with pamphlets in hand for causing me "emotional distress."

 

[crimsonshrouds]

I live right next to the tenesee state line... *sigh* thank the gods my state doesnt try to pull this shit.

This will not hold up in court. Not only does it violate the first amendment, but it violates the interstate commerce clause -- specifically, Tennessee is poking their nose into federal territory by trying to regulate something that affects more states than just Tennessee.

 

[Steve Lovell]

Because being sued can cause emotional distress, could you sue someone for suing you?

Edit* If u get a court summon I mean /end edit*

Free speech? In Tennessee we're too good for such a concept! This law is perfect because it not only requires people to regulate something that would be incredibly hard to prosecute, but is also completely unconstitutional.

I agree. The internet doesn't just belong to Tennessee.

In other news, Tenessee bans other parts of the world from looking at the sky. Does... does tenessee get how the WORLD WIDE web works? obviously not.

Spoiler: I live in Britain, i can vilotate this law

You, good sir, have caused me significant emotional distress.

Spoiler: Prepare for annihilation.

Ahaha, im not done yet good sir! Have at ye!

Spoiler: Take that you low-born ruffian!

Hark! You shall not prevail with such nonsense!

Spoiler: Take this!

You brought this on yourself, you know this.

Spoiler: You can punch...

...But you will never falcon punch!

Oh no! How could you best me with such a -

Spoiler: Take this ragamuffin!

 

[spectrenihlus]

Yea, I don't see this lasting long.

 

[Mr. Grey]

I look forward to the inevitable invasion of the Tennessee Army.

Because being sued can cause emotional distress, could you sue someone for suing you?

But then... but how... my god...

 

[The Lost Big Boss]

Yes, this is perfect. As everyone knows its always a good idea to implement a law you CAN'T FUCKING ENFORCE EFFECTIVELY.

 

[JasonKaotic]

I can understand the idea, but yeah, it's still a bad one. And as it's been said, the law'll be ignored just as much as the law against piracy.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

Wow. That is the very embodiment of a Politically Correct law. Fuck, it even has "make fun of anything religious or political that may offend someone, somewhere, and we'll book your ass"..

Don't you guys have the First Amendment for this explicit subject?

Edit: User ShadowsofHope has been arrested by the Tennessee government for the use of the word "fuck", as it "deeply offended" someone on the internet living in Tennessee. Lulz quickly ensued.

Yes it could create the fabled lawsuit paradox.

"Frighten, intimidate, or cause emotional distress"

Doesn't this pretty much sum up the entire internet?
