Hopefully not far. I have no sympathy whatsoever for this groups that think they can speak for me when conducting their terrorist activities.
>> While LulzSec itself doesn't seem to have confirmed the arrest, it has issued a request to those who agree with AntiSec beliefs. The request is simple: boycott PayPal; not only by not using it, but by closing down your accounts entirely to show the company that you mean business.
More like it. We choose what we want to do and aren't at the mercy of some little tyrannical cyber group that is no different than those they criticize. It's funny, I tend to think of the movie Children of Men when hearing about these groups. They are much like "The Fishes", the immigrant rights group that, full of good intentions as they may be, end up behaving as bad or worst that those they claim are the oppressors, and by the end of the movie they are just another villain the protagonists have to flee from.
And that's pretty much what these people are. Villains in disguise with designs on a new world order of some kind that would end having us worse than we started. being governed by fear of criminal repression and oppression. What's sad is that they think they actually have an impact on the grand scheme of things, as if the internet and the companies they target were larger than life and the world turned based on their saying. It's like trying to start WWIII with firecrackers on the sidewalk. Nothing will happen, but it's the innocent bystanders that will get hurt.
