Non-Texan's....you gotta love 'em.
Moronic enough to believe a whole state holds the same stupidity, rather than being intelligent enough to realize that every state has their fair share of idiots.
Not sure where you're from, but I'm sure it's full of s.
Yes, I realize I'm using the same logical fallacy as he did...just trying to prove a point;)
As I said in another reply, I over generalized my comment, and you bring up interesting thoughts.
You refer to the parts of government I said wish they could do away with FOIA in the first one. The second group along with the public in general are the cause of the FOIA.
True, I over-generalized far more than I should have.
I shouldn't say government in general, however there is no real generic classification for the parts of government that would do this.
I'm mainly referring to things the government does, that it knows the population will disagree with, but do it anyways. Those are the types of things that would get classified at any opportunity regardless of whether it has any national security involved at all.
If left up to the government, it will end up with everything being classified as a National Secret.
Majority of things I've heard about that were leaked, were only classified to avoid embarrassment and prevent protests against things people disagree with.
Can't speak for your experience on the matter, but in my experience, if government had things it's way, FOIA would not exist, and everything would be kept a secret until no one who can suffer consequences for their actions involved with something are long gone.
The will of the people is the true purpose of democracy. Regardless of the fact that people are doing this anonymously, this is similar in line to the rebellion against a tyrannical government.
Just because the tyranny is not as bad (censorship of porn), and the attack by the people (DDoSing government websites) does not make it a "joke" or an immature prank.
If the government was actively rounding up thousands of people from a certain ethnic group for "cleansing", you could expect everyone to gather guns to kill them.
Since it is not that serious, you get a less serious, albeit effective response. It made them realize what the public wants.
And I don't believe this is a symptom of the "vocal minority" simply because people don't get involved with something for no financial gain, unless they genuinely believe in it, and while it could be the act of a few, it is most likely the act of many.
Even if it were a vocal minority, in the US, the constitution was created to protect the freedom of the minority. I don't know how Australia views it's minorities, but I would hope a country that everyone considers "western" holds the same ideal.
Anonymous is the true unhindered will of the people. It does not give in to socially acceptable norms, or anything that hides what someone truly wants.
If people want porn, they will do so under anonymous.
Anonymous is legion.

This is my understanding of the processes at work here.

These games were so obviously made just for the console. And lacking that, absolutely no porting was done for RE4.
:(
I loved the games on the PS1/PS2/Xbox 360, etc. However when I decided to buy it for it the computer, I regretted it.
Ruined my love for the game
