    Okay, I don't disagree about the child-pornography sites, given that I can't think of any countries off the top of my head that legalize that... It's still better to report it to the authorities, vigilantism is NOT a good way to conduct a serious long-term personal attack on illegal sites. But it is a way for people who have too much time on their hands to feel justified in a little bit of their own crime...

    Hacking porn sites? Well, it *is* a legitimate business. And some people DO make their living from it... As for PAYING these guys... why PAY them? No way. Remember the saying about prevention and cure? An ounce of prevention is what is called for, which is called GOOD PARENTING. (And, if what irks you is something else, then you should call it POP-UP-WINDOW FILTERING. )

    Now, back to the Bin Laden thing... I'm sure that hearing their real and/or percieved greviances against the US is important. Not to say the USA is the bad guy, but our foreign policy has definitely had some impact on this. "What role did we play in this?" is a question not often asked, but a very important one. Instead it has become a "Attack them... Hmm... My approval ratings go up! Lets have a war!" Sites advocating actual violence with instructions to blow things up... that would probably be less objectionable to being defaced... But if it is a: "We believe in Bin Laden because..." site, then I think it has just as much right to be up. Why stifle their message and flood them with our own, when we can safely say that neither is the whole truth? (If someone thinks that either side DOES have the whole truth... thinking for themselves must not be a strong point for them.)

    several european countries as well as southern pacific countries have legalized child porn,but , All this chat just begs the question, "Who's perception of this is right? Do we have the right to crash web sites? Do they have the right to crash airplanes? It's extremes on either side if you ask me. God bless freedom of speach. God damn freedom of speach.

    terr, you make an excellent point. i mean really, what is truth? there is no truth.... no absolute right and wrong. no black and white, just a sea of infinite greys. The Bin Laden thing.... what a disgrace. it never should have gotten to the point it is. no one is right. we wronged him, he wronged us, and the cycle continues. how far back must we look to even find the beginning? Was there ever a beginning? I DO NOT ADVOCATE what that man did/orchestrated. on the other hand though, both sides are justified in their own minds. it just depends on what side of the ball you are on. in the end, no one is really justified..... they just think they are.

    People who support Bin Laden should have a right to. It is free speech like the rest. Just because you don't like him doesn't me you should destroy peoples sites who do. Thats like the Republicans burning the White House because they don't like the Democrat president. I also don't see the difference between kiddi porn and normal porn. :P

    Not true as petemcevoy said.

    Lolita is a film with no child porn involved, the issue is prevelent throughout the film and it's a shocking film but that is perhaps the purpose of the film. Im not sure what you mean by check out lolita so Ill wait till you reply before saying anymore.


    As for hacking these site's, its just becoming a vigilante, we would all love to go out and beat perverts and rapists on the streets but we dont because it is illegal as is hacking.

    Two wrongs dont make a right, leave it to the authorities.

    Paying someone to break the law is no different than breaking the law yourself,no matter how noble you may think the cause is.I,personally,do not condone vigilanteism.In the case of porn sites,one goes away and two more reappear a few days later on another server.

    Bin Laden is a terrorist and resposible for the deaths of over 5,000 innocent civilians. Saying that he is like the Republicans is disgusting, they are not terrorists and would never do anything like burning down the White House. In my opinion, Bin Laden should be brought to justice ASAP, or even better killed in action by the US forces.
