pawnman Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 At least they have the gall to stand up for what they believe in. Also, they operate knowing that they will go to jail if they are caught. They go up against some pretty big fish and are still around. It's scary to think what they are capable of. Or maybe it's all for show. Who knows. So do the Nigerian scam artists. Going up against the "big fish" of the US government doesn't make your cause honorable. While I agree in theory with some of their stances (like, violating Google's terms-of-service agreement shouldn't be a felony), I don't agree with their methods (punishing Sony by publishing the credit card numbers of everyone on PSN) or some of their other stances (Let's help Wikileaks spread state secrets because government is bad).

Vno Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Never did I write that I think/thought annoymous' actions were "honorable" or that they were "heroes", so you both can stop acting as such. I'm simply stating that a bunch of nerds behind computers were able to completely bring down a government website on multiple occasions, on top of other acts of cyber crime, and are still, for the most part, at large. And nobody knows who they are. Edited January 27, 2013 by Vno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17D_guy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It was a comparison to demo that just because someone is willing to fight for something doesn't make them or their something honorable. Could have said "militants firing RPGs at U.S. troops." Except, you know, they're not killing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm sorry I can't hear you above how awesome that T-Shirt is. You gotta go read the comments on that page, pure gold: “This is my most fave shirt to wear to my Neighborhood Watch meetings. ” In the face of danger wearing this shirt bestows upon me the incredible strength and fortitude of Eagle-man Fighter Pilot. . . the man, the bird, the legend.

He was admitted to the nursing home as a surprise by his family over the holidays. He's probably playing Bingo in the activity room right now.

DEVIL Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 These people need to be more clear with their mission statement, "Stop the Drones!".

Gravedigger Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) These fuckers show up to Schriever every October to protest the military use of space. My favorite line: "those sneaky sneaky Air Force base people." Here is the real WTF moment. They brought an 80-yeard old disabled woman out in 2009, she probably died of pneumonia shortly after.
