U.S. is World Leader in Spam

adept256 writes "Sophos outs 'dirty dozen' spam producing countries. And the USA is in the lead by a country mile. 'The United States is far and away the worst offender, accounting for nearly 60 percent of the world's spam. Even though European countries are responsible for less spam, they are still generating millions of junk emails a day,' said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos."

      Thanks for lowering my opinion of (most) those outside the US by yet another notch. Bashing anyone or anything based on idiotic stereotypes only makes you look even worse than they are.

      In short, grow up.

    Subject: Good News

    Contents:Jesus is Lord. I know for a fact. Read the New Testament. I wouldn't be emailing you if I didn't 100% know the truth.

    Reasoning: God's given me the power of infinate faith by showing me a series of miracles. Now I'm passing this to you. God has a path for each of us, I hope you get to see miracles too.

    I am not lying, God has really shown me miracles.

    If you know how to spam, either send out subject and contents. Or teach me how to spam, James_Sager_PA@yahoo.com Right now I'm sending out to emails indivdually. A good round of spam will contact a ton of people, like a religious bomb.
