    Dude! You not understanding what you're quoting is even worse.

    1. Get nailed with a misdemeaner or minor felony. Tons of stupid shit can get you both.
    2. Become a computer tech.
    3. Fail government check due to "criminal record"
    4. Continue working on computers ILLEGALLY so you can support your family.

    Was that so hard?

    Simply claiming that someone else's arguments are true contributes nothing to this discussion. You could have shown facts, figures, anything....but instead you thought you'd be clever by providing a "witty" insult.
