....sure

edit: k, my only point is, if they were truly useless, they wouldnt make headline news.... useless to me, would be more or less them being in the background and people going "oh, whos that?"

The idea of Anonymous is an interesting concept. It's just made up of regular people like you and me, and it could be anyone and everyone who choses to call themself anonymous. "Anonymous is a decentralized network of individuals focused on promoting access to information, free speech, and transparency".

However, they use illegal measures to hack into websites, steal information and send it to wiki leaks or other uncensored media. They pretty much hack into everything, fbi website, national security, police departments, fox news, cnn, fbi phone calls ect ect, theres no limit and no real way to stop the attacks. And for this, anyone associated with Anonymous can be labeled a terrorist, which now thanks to National security act, means that those who are labeled a terrorist dont even have a right to court.

Another interesting thing is, they claim they will expose all the corruption of the Government by Dec 21 2012. Basically are against laws such as the patriot act, national defense act, sopa and ACTA.

And in other countries that have censorship internet, they make it so people can talk freely about their country and government and give them ways around the censorship.

So the question is, are they terrorists because of the unconventional/illegal methods they go about ending corruption?

Or are they patriots for standing up for our rights against unconstitutional laws?

I personally, think they fall somewhere in between. I think some of the sites they hack are pointless and just so minor in the whole scheme of corruption, and i certainly dont agree with everything they do...but i do agree with some...i mean Sure, I think its good people are trying to make a change and restore our rights and ending the corruption is a great idea in itself.... But the government has already made claims like "The group of Anonymous is strong enough to shut down the whole power grid"... Now Anonymous denies that they can do that and also say that they wouldnt want to, millions are on life support, they wouldnt want to end their lives ect ect.

Anyways, hypothetical, say something would happen..weather the power grid goes out, or the internet shuts down for a day or cell phones dont work for a day... anything like that, Anonymous would be the first accused.... and the point isnt weather Anonymous  did the attack or if its the government itself that does the attack.... the attack itself would probably be enough to PASS bills like SOPA for 'our protection' so 'this doesnt happen again'.

I think they want to do alot of good for the people, and their message is good but the ways the are going about business could be the very reason more unconstitutional acts are passed.

whats your opinion terrorists or freedom fighters?

Except terrorists are real. I'm not defending the law in any way, it's awful, but don't compare a real threat to a made up one.

....we been in Afghanistan and iraq for 11 years, if there was even any threat, it was dead in the first 3-5 years. but this whole terrorist propaganda is to put fear in people like yourself, so you feel safer giving up rights you once had... being its 'for your protection'.

As far as im concerned, the war on terror isnt a real war at all... didnt face any real army... the reasons for war were based of fiction kinda like the boogie man. the more you look into the reasons for wars we enter, the more you realize the number dont add up, not going to turn this into another 9/11 thread, you can figure that yourself, or dont. no matter.

but seriously, this is just more 'give up our rights today so we're safe tomorrow'.

ya, that makes sense.

I FOR ONE AM DONE WITH AA 2.5. TOO MANY ADMINS ABUSING POWER, NOOBS PLAYIN EVERY MAP WITH SF... THE OTHER DAY, I WENT TO PLAY PIPELINE, LOOKIN FOR M16S, AND THEY FORCED MY CLASS TO SF... UNCONSTITUTIONAL BASTARDS! AND ON THE OCCASION I DO GOOD< IM KICK/BANNED FOR H4X.

Im moving to AA3, better graphics and community and i effen suck at it, so nobody can accuse me of cheating. it will be great.

EFF YOU ALL

pretty much, sorry to see that too Jonnym... i like how they even took US approach, throwing in words like 'crime' and 'terrorist'.... Lose your rights for a fear of the boogy man.

I'd be happy just knowing where the killshot hit. so instead of a spam of messages per firefight it just says,
<name> killed <name> with a <shot> to the <body part>
so flash messages wont show up unless u actually kill the person with the flash and spamming ar at the enemy wont tell u who u hit unless u killed them

that'd be pretty cool

-.- yeaaah. Why did they even bothered to implement flashes? Wait, why did they even bothered to make weapons, better fight with a stone and a knife. That, that is really manly and masculine.

lawl, big difference between killing a blind opfor and killing an opfor with a bigger (better) gun.

and you would be one to bring a stone and knife to a gun fight. ;D

edit: why is every one of skewy's posts about cocks? dont you think about anything besides penis's? gettin lil obsessive over there

lol, keep the game play the same. I like the fact that the gun roles on BOTH sides are generally EQUAL... you want to use ak? svd? rpk? listen for the gun to fire and hunt his ass down, then you got ur gun... dont need to change anything that keeps this game original.

I think if they do anything with skins, they should bring back the old skins in 1.7 of opfor on from icamp... they use to look arab and have turbines!
