CEO Indicted for DDOSing Competitors
ruland writes "It turns out there was a reason the hosting company CIT/Foonet was raided in February. SecurityFocus.com reports that the CEO of a web-based satellite T.V. retailer has been indicted for allegedly paying Foonet's administrator to arrange denial of service attacks against his competitors, causing outages as long as two weeks at a time, and $2 million in losses. Now he's skipped out on $750,000 bail, while the five packet monkeys who worked for him are left facing felony charges of their own."
Someone please tell me why I should feel sorry for the poor "monkeys" that were helping him commit felonies?
Find five guys who have no savings left, are two weeks away from eviction, and haven't eaten in a week. Promise them a barely living wage (just enough to keep their head above water) to write a few scripts and send a bunch of packets. They don't even need to physical hurt anyone.
You wouldn't understand unless you've been two weeks away from eviction, haven't eaten in a week, and have no savings left. If you want to reply with "but it was still a felony and they knew that" then, well, you just don't understand.

No, Bush loves them. Without the ETA, he wouldn't have such a nice excuse to cancel Novembers elections.
Indeed, without the ETA, the Spanish socialists wouldn't have had anybody to blame the March 11th bombings on, and without that deliberately misplaced blame, they might not have lost the election. And Bush would have had no precedent of "election influenced by terrorists" to use as an excuse to cancel November 2nd...
pay off your debt
And just how does one go about doing that? Have you seen the national debt? Who do you think is liable for that debt? The Federal Government collects money to pay that debt. If it can't get it through direct taxation it does what? It institutes even more schemes to siphon more money out in more ways.
Unless you're given a special opportunity or born into an independently wealthy class it's almost impossible to pay off your debt. You're in debt for life.
I spent the last 5 years paying off all my debt
You received that special opportunity. I spent the last 5 years paying the interest and then was laid off. Now, with the nonpayment, late payment, and overlimit (due to accrued interest, nonpayment, and late payment fees), I'm back at the same level I was at 5 years ago.
I give up. Screw debt.

Really, how old are you? If someone puts a child molestor behind bars, then later that molestor donates money to a charity, does the one that put them behind bars apologize for it? No, this example isn't perfect, but neither is yours. Your argument is so flawed. Why should those that have denounced previous actions of the FBI now apologize for speaking out about the horrendous things they have done in the past?
You need some help with basic thinking skills. I highly suggest taking some critical thinking classes.
