This thread is now about Furries, for some reason. Formerly: "So. Anonymous."

Hatred of entire blocks of people just because they belong to X religion or have Y skin color is messed up.

Well, sure, or at least tribally motivated or ignorant.

Hatred of entire blocks of people just because they belong to X religion or have Y skin color is messed up.

did you just equate following a moral code dictated to you by someone else (which you choose to do) with having a skin color (which you are born with, Michael Jackson notwithstanding)?

because that doesn't really work.

No, I didn't, I said hating someone because of one single identifying feature is wrong.  Chosen or not, it's still bigotry.

[East Coast Hustle]

wrong.

hating someone for something they have chosen to do is not bigotry.

Otherwise, I'd be a bigot for hating white supremacists.

The minute Anonymous started to take itself seriously was the moment it became an ego-crutch for basement dwelling social misfits.  It was an interesting example of emergence and web-based organization, but there are other examples of that now.

PING!

In the hacker universe, there are lots of groups like anonymous, but they actually remain, well, anonymous.

Yeah, I've stumbled upon groups like that on occasion.  Not very often, but here and there.

What was fascinating was when John Robb talked to a member of Anonymous, when discussing strategy for their attacks on the CoS.  I don't know if this particular member was well linked within the /i/nsurgency, but he had an excellent grip on 4GW and said that such theories had made an impact on how the fight was being directed, at least in the early days.

[The Dark Monk]

WTF, WHY DOES SHE GET THETANS?!

[Telarus]

There are no thetans here.

[Faust]

duh, everyone gets ten free thetans when they register, if you have not received said thetans please check with your local post office

[hooplala]

Fuck you.

TOUCHÉ!!

Seriously, though, Scientology may be an evil pyramid scheme but it doesn't do anything as horrible as, say...and I'm just pulling a random example out of a hat, here....ohh, let's say changing a state constitution to fit its moral mandates.  So, really, fuck you.

Not yet, but they are getting there and I guess we can deal with them then, right?  So actually fuck you...

[BADGE OF HONOR]

Oh, and what are they doing to do, put a tax on thetans?  Ban all aliens from outer space?


Pardon me for having different priorities than you.  I didn't know that individual thought was frowned upon round these parts.  Obviously I'm just completely wrong and have my head stuck up my ass.  Thanks for setting me straight, there, buddy.

I'm just saying that simply because they aren't controlling elections yet doesn't mean they never will... you can either resist them now or later, because with the way the Cos deal with it will probably eventually be a problem.

[Elder Iptuous]

you're not?

Mr. Webster says:
: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices  ; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

so, although it is especially associated racial or ethnic groups, it is not limited to that.
oooor, i could stick my foot in shit and say that hating gay people is hating someone for something they have 'chosen' to do.....
