That may be true, but the point is that somebody out there may just be nutty enough to actually do this type of thing. All it takes is one person with a grudge against society, and heaven knows there is no shortage of that type. Today a report was confirmed of a woman being arrested for burying her newborn child alive. A police spokesman confirmed that she'd been arrested and convicted in '01 for the same type of offence. Now i ask you, how did the Justice Systems of our countries become so liberal that people doing such wicked deeds are allowed back onto the streets within 3 or 4 years? Somebody capable of committing such a deed is surely capable of planting infected needles. They need no motive, simply the opportunity.

I'm not disputing that there are nutters out there.. there's nutters in here too btw... but this is more about spamming the net with totally, or mostly totally, ficticious emails meant to scare or whatever their purpose and people fall for it and forward them around the net continuing the cycle
when I see stuff like this I immediately pick a sentence or two and google and show them up for what they are

Nah, Masseurs right. That one's been doing the rounds almost as long as there's actually BEEN email!
I got one today, it was a rather well written and poignant poem about child abuse. Something I, like (hopefully!) everybody else, feels very strongly about.
Unfortunatley, at the bottom of the email it said something along the lines of "If you don't forward this email to five other people within the next ten minutes then may god have mercy on your soul for you will be cursed for evermore..."
Kind of takes the impact out of it somehow, and needless to say it got forwarded straight to 'deleted items'

I remember rumours about this of thing in school, some said people were being ejecting in clubs and being told "congratulations welcome to the world of hiv"
Things like this get sent once and then spiral out of control

@ zMastaa
You might want to leave the article back in your original post so new comers to the thread can see what it's about. And then just leave a EDIT at the bottom saying it's false.
PS... If it was true... that's sick, but i gotta hand it to them... pretty clever.
