    Yep utter madness and a public too apathetic to hold them accountable. After all people just want to be happy...completely ignorant of the fact that eventually the events that are unfolding in the United States will affect everyone everywhere. They actually already are and they don't even know it. :(

    Fucking madness!

    Did you hear about Edward Snowden, I just read on Anonymous Facebook status, coming clean about the whole deal about motives and plans behind U.S, he is in Hong Kong right now, probably for his own good, ready to speak his mind, search for it, the link is on my native language so is pretty much useless to share :wink:

    About this subject, their classic move, they do that every time for everything they want to control, make madness than come up with solution or just trying to make a statement sacrificing one man with madness, hoping fear will come to others, pretty classic global move, all of them are doing the same, no matter what country, side or whatnot, the same deal with all those damned human beings.

    Just posted it up, check the new content. :wink:
    And since you brought it up I ask that people read the Edward Snowden article because the guy gave up a lot for us to know what's going on. *yes*
    You're absolutely right my friend. Honestly I feel like everybody has this heavy feeling these days because we all know it even if we don't think we do. You can see it on the streets, in people's eyes, in their words, in their sadness...this feeling that somewhere along the line we've lost it. It's just all gone to hell. :(

    A VPN (Virtual Private Network). I will actually be making a post that will help you out tomorrow...maybe even tonight. I was hoping to work on some music but I might end up just putting it up too. I've had it planned for a few days but there's been so much going on in the news that I've been trying to get people aware of, plus I've been working on some stuff for the forums and fielding questions.

    Pretty much, it's progressing the way I expected, the truth will be free when madness become reality, we are living it right now, madness is on the streets, started to become global, i was digging this whole deal few years back and than educated myself to help others, even joined some forces with people of good will, pretty much older educated people that are not that much for the action, tried to move the people around me, left on "you are paranoid" now don't have satisfaction to say "I told you every freaking thing that is happing and it's public now", it's too late for that and by now I'm pretty much just happy to see people waking up, but sad when I see the madness, damn sadness :(

    You said it Xsze. I have a friend from childhood and we grew to view certain things differently particularly when it came to government. He always thought that he had more insight into the topic because that was his major in college and what he spent his whole life learning about. He used to always come up with an excuse or a way of looking at what was happening that was somehow rational. He would try to make me feel like I was just paranoid even though I am a very logical person and research everything from credible sources. Now when we speak I can see it in his face and at that moment I honestly wish I was wrong about what I thought because that would be a reality that would make more sense than the one I see before me now.

    This line gave me goosebumps, pretty much that, it would be better that in the end of the day we were just paranoids that are living in their own imagination, what a beautiful day that would be, finding out you are the problem, not the things you think you see and know and reality is far away from you actually....on a funny note, pretty good movie too.

    Absolutely, it's quite a chilling thought to have. It's like this horrific moment where you're intimate with the deepest recesses of the human condition and emptiness just overtakes you. We like to think we're so civilized, that somehow we're above it all. America was founded by people escaping religious persecution and such a short time later it's all been forgotten. On that funny note I'd go see that film.

    We are deeply disturbed and damaged, walking on thin line of despair, one moment so deep in darkness, another chasing that light we see in the end of the tunnel(the track above started playing from nowhere in my head when I wrote this), but again,moments like this, love and understanding, it's just good day no matter how bad it is in reality, just one moment of human interaction that is giving a hope, until we come back to reality and fall into the darkness that is waiting to fill us in, what a interesting times for all of us.

    More proof that the lunatics are running the asylum!

    And that those stumbling around in the asylum are so passed rational thought or consideration, just so long as they have their big sports games, reality TV and game shows, and no one comes knocking their door, they couldn`t give a fook about their brother man!

    Yep that about sums it up. *yes*
    What gives me hope is that some people are finally beginning to wake up. I just hope we can stop this snowball before it destroys the village at the bottom of the hill. If we had begun earlier we would have stood a much better chance but what else is there left to do? The thing about seeing things for what they are is that you can't ever go back to being asleep again...even if you want to at times.

    hmm its a bit harsh, but this guy sold the illegal cracked software and this should be punished.

    ... but the real question is why copyright infrigment is still punished harder as child pornography? :dunno:
    maybe because there is an actually lobby behind them?

    money, any criminal who steals money from large corporations or governments, you are going to get fecked.

    Beat up an old age pensioner for their purse containing their weekly pension so you can go and buy some weed, you get a slap on the wrist, a few hours community service (doing a few odd jobs) and asked (nicely) not to be a burden on society. And the old age pensioner dies 1 month later due to the injuries and the shock of the assault.

    I'm sorry, but its one thing to give programs away freely, even though its not right. BUT this guy was SELLING software that he didn't write?? Definitely deserves to be the example of profiting from someone else's hard work. 87 months is about right. I've started in the computer science field with 'blood, sweat, and tears'...which means HARD WORK! Imagine taking 4 years to write a set of applications for a company that pays you about $60k a year. Then you find out some guy is selling that software, undercutting your company's price. SO then the company can't make the money to continue paying its programmers, so the team gets laid off, and the project goes to shit because the company has lost financial interest in the product. Put yourself in the developer shoe sometimes. This is why I strive to buy all that I want. If I can't afford it, I'll 'try before buy', but NEVER try to profit from the sweat and late night work of another. If you make money from software, it should be from USING it, NOT selling. AND, that entire profit SHOULD go toward a legitimate software license.. its only FAIR.

    Let me officially say that I'm not knocking guys here who download stuff to see if its worth their money, or those who really don't have money, but will honestly learn the program and making an effort to buy it when their eligible from paid work. But SELLING a program you didnt make....thats just wrong to the point that punishment is necessary.

    For those afraid of privacy invasion, get over it, privacy no longer exists. How about curbing the acts of greed and balance your life properly. I'm sure you'll avoid the crosshairs effortlessly.

    Oh and this guy wrote false invoices to the government?? Guess where that money came from.........my taxes...at a rate of 35%. :snuffy:
