You are supposed to make art for enjoyment. If you charge anything for it you are a dirty corporate whore who deserves to have whatever they were selling taken from them as punishment. Art should be freely distributed and then the generous donations from those who don't pay anything will reward you if they like your work.
You're too clever. I don't see what you're doing there. Perhaps you could be a little more blatantly obvious. (You might to at least be on the same continent as the topic).
Wikileaks has said nothing like "stop it you morons you're not helping". Wikileaks is at least using the misguided angst to their advantage.
Also, I never said they outed Manning. I said they were a honey pot for useful idiots. Assgange has an agenda and Manning willingly gave him the weapons he wanted.
The way it has turned out Wikileaks is (possibly was) nothing more than a honey pot for useful idiots feeding Assange information to use on his publicly stated quest against the US.
Yes, they are making things very public but only some things and they do editing to make things conform to their agenda.
That's not whistleblowing.
The site itself doesn't need to be DDoSing major companies to get the word out. As long as people with influence know about the site and *they* report whats on there the word will get out without the site needing to resort to douchebaggery to get the word out.
So now Anonymous isn't doing this. Must mean they've utterly failed here just like they didn't DDoS Amazon out of the goodness of their hearts instead of trying and failing miserably.
"Can you drive a bullet?" The gun usually takes care of that.
"Take the kids to the mall with one?" Depends on the mall. Not all of them allow bullets on the premises.
"Cruise Main Street? Move across town?" Yup, got all the permits I need for this state (may not be applicable in other states).
"Can you use a bullet for anything - and I mean ANYTHING - other than being a projectile weapon?" Without being obtuse by saying anything that lumps of lead are generally good for target shooting doesn't require weapons, so they wouldn't be projectile "weapons".
Liking some aspects of a person while disliking others, a non-binary state, interesting concept. More people should try it, the world would probably be better for it.
I'm wondering if you're aware that the infamous tea was tea of the British East India company - a company that had a Crown mandated monopoly on tea in the American colonies and that they had jacked up the price to cover getting pantsed in the spice trade with no recourse for the colonists.
So it wasn't just a case of "This tea is British! Rargh! *Patriot Rage*". And "Boston Tea Party" wasn't a term used until a century later.
The East India Company in this case was a defacto agent of the Crown, the tea essentially government property. They didn't go smashing up random merchants' tea cargoes. Annonymous is attacking whomever they think they can get away with under the cover of being "protesters".
Hopefully someone that participated in the civil rights protests will properly thank you for comparing them with Anonymous.
What Wing Commander movie? There was no Wing Commander movie. Even if there is an extra fighter in the hangar that says "Wing Commander" it never existed.
Now if you'll excuse me I have some memories to repress.
"Reasonable health care need not be expensive; it's a bunch of basic techniques, basic drugs, and basic preventive care that--together with healthy living--will likely let you live to a ripe old age."
Apparently you only need a *very* basic understanding of medicine and statistics as well.
You can do everything right and still get cancer. Or some hereditary condition decides to make itself known. Or get hit by blue ice from an airliner.
Gay couples can actually enjoy sex without even the slightest chance of being saddled with children.
Don't you hate people that can have everything that you have but don't have to pay for it? Shunning hasn't seemed to work in awhile so they've moved on to hating.

Manning isn't a prisoner of war.
It's almost like the military has its own laws.

Whistleblowing sites aren't about the influence, they are clearing houses for information that would otherwise not be available.
Wikileaks got an agenda and stopped being a whistleblowing site.
Other sites being obscure is just fine as long as the whistleblowers know they exist.
Don't worry, Cryptome will still be there when Wikileaks finally sinks.

Car, is that what they're calling Multi-ton Murder Machines these days?

I can't wait until Moore doesn't do enough to keep the rabid Anonymous horde at bay.

For not being a personal army a lot of people rushed towards Amazaon with fixed bayonets when someone yelled "Charge!".
One game movie is just like another when you've got your head down over your pieces brother.

Use != overuse
The mental gymnastics required to believe Anonymous is anything other than thugs has now reached Olympic levels.
Not to mention it is very expensive if you don't have the income from your former job as well.

"but there's no way for me to stop existing."
Oh, there are many ways. Some of them would be rather entertaining for the rest of us.
For you, nothing. You're a True Believer. Viva la revolucion.

You live in an urban center, don't you?
