[QUOTE=Ponder;39790070]well anyone, even the cool kids fuck the corporation yolos will rely on a business someday, so it's fairly ironic. nonetheless, i rely on BoA so i hope anon fucks off and im really tired of hearing about anon, in reality they dont do much[/QUOTE] you can rely on the concept of business and still criticize certain businesses / industries when they do terrible things no matter how hard you try to ironicize and satirize anti-corporate viewpoints (look how many smiley faces / tildes are in my post guys!), bank of america is an awful organization and deserves to be criticized
I really just love how this is a label now. Anonymous used to be just a bunch of /b/ basement dwellers playing pretend superhero and now we're using it for every hacker everywhere. Reminds me of the whole extreme-nationalist "hurr every iraqi is terrorist" ideal

[QUOTE=Fangz;39790094]All businesses are evil, just some businesses are more evil than others.[/QUOTE] well i'll be honest; i don't care as long as they serve my interests, i have no reason to go elsewhere unless they're doing something really really bad like holocaust #2 but honestly it seems on here no matter who you choose (except valve) you can't win besides, i'm not really saying BoA is in the right; im just really tired of hearing about anon when they don't do shit
[QUOTE=Fangz;39790094]All businesses are evil, just some businesses are more evil than others.[/QUOTE] Please tell me this is sarcasm. It has come to the point where it is actually hard to tell now which I find rather sad.
[QUOTE=Ponder;39790084]no last time i checked on fp all businesses ever were evil except valve[/QUOTE] you don't need to bank at a for-profit business dude. there are alternatives to banks.
[QUOTE=Fangz;39790094]All businesses are evil, just some businesses are more evil than others.[/QUOTE] Credit Unions are good. They're not banks.

[QUOTE=Pie108;39790130]Credit Unions are good. They're not banks.[/QUOTE] I've got Navy Fed, they kick ass so far.
[QUOTE=Pie108;39790130]Credit Unions are good. They're not banks.[/QUOTE] Credit Unions technically aren't technically a business due to the democratic involvement for each location, so my statement doesn't apply to this.

Anonymous used to be just a bunch of /b/ basement dwellers playing pretend superhero and now we're using it for every hacker everywhere. Reminds me of the whole extreme-nationalist "hurr every iraqi is terrorist" ideal[/QUOTE] Anonymous isn't a label people are applying to hackers/"hackivists" in general now (at least, not most people). It's a name many people hide behind, for good reason (it has a history attached, but can't be used to track you). Usually the people called out as being "a part of" Anonymous used the label themselves.
[QUOTE=Ponder;39790015]are you really saying that stealing your life savings is no big deal but i'm not even going to try, there's no use when most here on fp circlejerk to anon[/QUOTE] you are a foolish fool for being so polarized about this..
They can do whatever they want. Just don't touch my money.

Whenever I hear Anonymous reported about (very ineptly by people who don't understand the internet, but what can you do) they always manage to make it seem like a shadowy network of well-organised computer geniuses and while I don't generally dispute the latter part, it really isn't as cleverly-thought-out as the media (and indeed some anons themselves) make it out to be.
