    I think that... putting lots of dots in between clauses... makes them look a... bit... silly...

    And on the actual subject matter - Who the hell's gonna trust guys who regularly hack into companies to stead their username, email, passwords with my own username, email & password directly?
  2. Their current goals are more directed towards protesting against censorship and opressio, not "regularly hacking into companies to steal information". A quick look at their protests against Sony (helping the defence of GeoHot), the Westboro Baptist Church, and their actions during the elections in Iran shows that their intentions are good. Their support of sites such as Wikileaks also shows their dedication to freedom of information.

    I personally like Anonymous. They go against the government officials who openly state they need to keep secrets from us "for our own good". I'd rather not be deliberately kept in the dark. If you guys want to retain your prejudice of them as socially stunted nerds (as the Westboro Baptist Church do), then go ahead.
  3. they do fight for the right cause. like visa and mastercard blocking wikileaks, churc of scientology and so on.(sorry about english)
  4. Anyone who doesn't understand, or disagrees with a need for, government secrecy is absolutely too stupid to vote and maybe to run around free. If our governments were completely transparent in all actions, it would compromise the ability to protect you from the groups who are not. Those same groups have made it clear that they do not want anything but an end to America and our (mostly) free society.

    And by the way, Einstein, an Al Qaeda terrorist does not care that you "protested" or complained or participated in the opposition or anything. You will die just the same as the rest of us.
  5. Hilariously you have chosen to post anonymously. Looks like you're just one of them trying to get people riled up. Keep up the good work fellow anti-socialite. (I know that's what you are, don't deny it)
  6. Anonymous social networking?
    Terrible idea, just because they feel butthurt. There really is no other reason.
     
  7. "seems like these guys are getting less popular every day "

    Seems like Mindwraith is a clever name for posting propaganda. Call me paranoid, but I'm going to form my own opinions about Anonymous, and avoid any notion of whether they are popular or not. It matters little whether they are popular, if they are right.

    That said, it matters somewhat more if they are tactful and rhetorically skilled. At the very least, their reliance on "cliche" is imitation of some talented rhetoric, even if it's a bit shaky imitation thereof.
  8. I would want to remain anonymous as well if I put a random preposition on the end of a sentence on.
  9. Autonomous collective are we? Who dictates who they attack? Is it determined at a biweekly meeting?

    I point you to Monty Python's scene 3 script:

  10. Your main social skill is corporate **** sucking. Don't be so greedy when swallowing, you may choke yourself.
  11. I agree with Anon's idea of freedom of information. I believe in transparency in Government. While I have to admit there are some things that should not be public, a lot of the "classified" information is not life threatening.

    Those who wish to stay in the dark, watch your censored and spun Fox news and MSNBC. I choose to know what's really going on in the world.
  12. This is *****ic, there's already pidder if you really need an anonymous social network, why do it from scratch again? I bet this project gets abandoned in a month.
  13. A social network is the perfect honeypot to gather personal info and ip addresses. I doubt Anon will fall for it.

    You really just made that comparison? I'm sure you feel special thinking you know something no one else does
  15. funny, they want to be Anonymous but their against censorship
  16. how much wood, can a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? answer anyone?
  17. haha!!! stupid... can't be anonymous when a domain needs credit card to buy it. Even if its not them, then its someone who knows someone.... and on and on... the main figure heads will get got and will get prosecuted....
  18. good point on the anonymous thing...

    anonymous: we don't believe in hiding information and censorship

    public: then who are you?

    anonymous: sorry that's classified

    LOL
  19. excellent,i2p2 torrent based annon social networking and hopefully included file sharing etc...
  20. wow..all you small minded people who make snap judgements. You people don't know which way is up even when others next to you are standing upright.
