WdefQuote | And let's not forget that organized crime is also interested in your private data - especially for identity and credit card fraud. And they have considerable resources at their disposal, equal at least to your average three letter agency... |
Beat ya to that punch: http://lucky13.blogsavy.com/2007/05/05/why-i-like-tor/ (Hopefully my host is once again stable for longer than a week and the links work; if not, go to my page and scroll down to Why I Like Tor.)
mikshawQuote | You're not being dishonest if you simply do not explain your motivation. |
Correct, and that would absolve others from being asked to support questionable (ab)use of technology.
304Quote | ahh.. so it's about forcing your opinon on them then? |
No, it's about not aiding those who are known bad apples. You can find your own assistance and your own information without tainting others.
Quote | As surprising as it may be... |
It isn't surprising, especially given my proximity to and familiarity with an international border, travel, etc. Pretty safe bet you're not from one of those other countries you allude to.

What guys? I only see ads.

But shriveled testicles would be worth it? Acne? Increased risk of incidence of manic rage, early heart attack, etc.?
Eat well, train right, and you won't need to worry about your vanishing balls or break any laws to "carry firefighters." I think that's like the rape case the OP mentioned earlier -- a feeble pretext for trying to justify bad behavior, as though terrorists never had plans for making IEDs or car bombs to cause mass carnage before the rape. You don't need to bulk up to carry firefighters, you need to do that to satisfy your own vanity.
Quote | If you're now going to do a backflip |
There's no backflip. The OP doesn't know what my views on any issues related to crimes, particularly nonviolent crimes, are. I oppose helping those who openly and explicitly ask for help in breaking laws, as well against assisting those who might suspected with a high degree of likelihood will commit crimes, without respect for the nature or severity of the crime.
You came here and said it's about anabolic steroids. Who knows if that's the truth. Maybe that's your cover for something much less appealing to even the most libertine sensibilities here.
The OP said he would help terrorists in certain cases and mentioned a rape (which is being prosecuted -- and if it's the case I'm thinking of, with death penalty on the table) as an example even if it would cause harm to civilians. I have MUCH less respect for that (and zero for him now) than I have for you. Don't take any comfort in that because you're both contemptible; I just have a lot more of it for anyone who thinks terrorists need reasons like rape to kill and maim others and who would use that particular example in the context of a question about where he would -- or in this case, would NOT -- draw a line and would consider offering assistance.
Quote | I'm sure it'll be a thorn in your side to know that I don't mind contributing financially |
No, it won't be a thorn (I don't particularly believe you about it, either). Train smarter and just send the money you were going to use for illegal drugs to DSL. That wouldn't be a thorn, it would be a sign that you have better judgment and character than I think you do.
