[Potando]

Talking about committing a crime isn't thoughtcrime. It's perhaps better called a "speechcrime". It's already illegal for all sorts of things. Conspiracy of course is one way. There's also incitement and threats, as well as "intent". That last one is more of a true thoughtcrime. The real world effect of manslaughter is the same as murder, but the distinction lies with what the person was thinking.
