There are many things concerning the internet that are decidedly not amusing. The internet can be a source of viruses and other forms of malware, which affect computers worldwide. It can provide refuge for the sick and perverted, who use the depths and anonymity of the internet to distribute material that goes beyond any imagination. It can also be a hotbed for other dangerous activities like crime and terrorism. However, I think I speak for many when I say that spam is the one thing that bothers us all on a continuous basis.

Spammer torture = ratings = happy people, and who better to carry out this act than someone with ALOT of experience,, the govt?
It is a good point though, we do have the technology to limit spams effectiveness, but getting anyone to make the jump is a huge hurdle, that many countries will not see for decades to come.

Seems very appealing, but dont let them off the hook that easily, I say sentence them to a bar, with nothing but undesirable people who want to sell everything, that have to ask 'just to make sure' as often as possible. Then you can let them choose between staying there, and the death penalty after a good year
Forgot,, the bar ran out of alchohol...
