You're the only one here who seems to think stealing is "cool." MADem Mar 2012 #34

Let's propigate more FUD. RoccoR5955 Mar 2012 #86

What is "propigate" (do you mean propagate?) and what is FUD, pray tell. MADem Mar 2012 #106

Exactly! He's trying to disguise his filthy, fundy self by hiding behind good people. Judi Lynn Mar 2012 #16

No--Anonymous is NOT MORAL. They steal. They take money, they take information. MADem Mar 2012 #20

To understand Anon, you have to understand the nature of white hats, grey hats, and black hats chrisa Mar 2012 #25

So, the guy who takes the money from the bank and causes the bank to screw the customers is....? MADem Mar 2012 #32

Depends what they do with that information. DireStrike Mar 2012 #38

Ah, the two wrongs make a right school of thought! MADem Mar 2012 #58

The corporations have been packaging and selling your private information for DECADES. AdHocSolver Mar 2012 #67

It's not misplaced, though. If a corporation sells your data, there's a paper trail. MADem Mar 2012 #70

You're wrong. They certainly are compromising it. caseymoz Mar 2012 #100

I don't use those big banks, so I don't quite take your point. MADem Mar 2012 #108

You don't use big banks, but the system around you still does. caseymoz Mar 2012 #110

The ones who haven't been involved in theft--of money or data-- are not being arrested. MADem Mar 2012 #119

Who "causes" the bank to screw the customers? caseymoz Mar 2012 #98

The person who takes the thing that does not belong to them is the "cause" of the theft. MADem Mar 2012 #121

Hence, the popular love stories of Bonnie and Clyde on Hallmark... LanternWaste Mar 2012 #120

And they are all thieves. nt MADem Mar 2012 #33

And that's bigotry. nt caseymoz Mar 2012 #101

Hacker suspected of more offences Judi Lynn Mar 2012 #40

There is a clear, well-known procedure for discovering if someone is part of Anonymous... saras Mar 2012 #41

How is he acting like a right winger? FreeBC Mar 2012 #44

His own claim is that he did it it because he disapproved of acquaintances' choice to have abortions LeftishBrit Mar 2012 #82

Morrissey dissaproves also Puzzledtraveller Mar 2012 #125

No offense, but what horseshit!! Ewww, the "knowledgeable public"--please! MADem Mar 2012 #51

I think saras was being sarcastic. n/t BzaDem Mar 2012 #57

I hope so--I admit, I'm old and a lot of this "cool" conversation goes right over my head! nt MADem Mar 2012 #59

Once again, eveyone misses the point. FreeBC Mar 2012 #42

a security issue? OKNancy Mar 2012 #43

This information wasn't kept in a home. FreeBC Mar 2012 #47

The point of making it a "criminal justice system issue" is to disincentivize hacking. BzaDem Mar 2012 #62

FreeBC is correct. Hacking has been occurring for decades. AdHocSolver Mar 2012 #61

Burglary has been going on for Millenia. And it may very well be that the best defense against BzaDem Mar 2012 #63

You're the one missing the point--he had a personal beef against abortion. MADem Mar 2012 #53

The thing is, Anonymous isn't really a group. chrisa Mar 2012 #72

Well, that guy that got them all pissed off seemed to think they are a group of sorts, and that MADem Mar 2012 #75
