I do. Are you able to offer an intelligent rebuttal or is your M.O. simply to call one names? If you are what passes for a "patriotic American" today, my assumption will be you are a passively genocidal bully who prefers Muslims dead, homosexuals castrated and Mexicans rounded up. My guess is you'd claim I don't "support the troops" because I think the wars illegal and you use such as justification to label those like me in Orwellian doublespeak "Enemies of America." You would likely support Toby Keith in a run for Congress. I stand with real patriots, those willing to use their birthright freedoms to protest against government abuse, against wars for profit.

It seems to me that a lot of people still don't understand what Anonymous is. It's not some select, small group of people. It's thousands of random people worldwide and never the same exact people. Anon is all of us. They're the people. The government may arrest a few of them now and then. All that will accomplish is pissing others off even more.

I'm sure I read somewhere that this video isn't the work of ANON some random dude posted the video pretending to be them, I cant remember where I saw it I think it might have been the youtube comments on the video...
Please offer more than hearsay.
Especially when you make bold claims and don't even show us what you are talking about.

Silly script kiddies...
you should really leave the community. we'd be better off without you.
Really...why?
What has Anon done besides DDoS attacks on public websites???
OH...besides terrorizing people and flooding youtube with videos of porn that had "family friendly" titles???
No Cussing Club
No Cussing ClubIn January 2009 members of Anonymous targeted California teen McKay Hatch who runs the No Cussing Club, a website against profanity.[58][59] As Hatch's home address, phone number, and other personal information were leaked on-line, his family has received a lot of hate mail, lots of obscene phone calls, and even bogus pizza and pornography deliveries.[60]
YouTube Porn Day
YouTube porn dayOn May 20, 2009, members of Anonymous uploaded numerous pornographic videos onto YouTube.[61] Many of these videos were disguised as children's videos or family friendly videos with tags such as "Jonas brothers."[61] YouTube has since removed all videos uploaded. The BBC contacted one of the uploaders who stated that it was a "4chan raid" organized due to the removal of music videos from YouTube.[62] BBC News reported that one victim posted a comment saying: "I'm 12 years old and what is this?"[62] which went on to become an internet meme.
Yeah...this is a GREAT group for ATS to support....so great that someone who opposes their childish (and pointless) acts should leave the community...right?
Just tell me ONE thing that you think Anon has done that is worthy of support?edit on 10-2-2011 by MindSpin because: (no reason given)
So your proof is a wikipedia reference??? Please tell me it aint so
crashing the Iranian Governments servers during the Iranian Protests, attacking the banks that stopped paying donations to wikileaks, Scientology campaign, shutting down an Irish Political party website for sensoring free speech which they had set up the site to promote
Don't post nonsense here based on personal beliefs and not factual beliefs. You basically replyed to this thread with wikipedia references that you googled directly after your first post in this thread, so its obvious you have done little or no research on Anonymous and if your basing your "belief" on wikipedia references.....well I give up

Are you denying Anonymous were behind those examples?
Because everyone of your examples was also on the Wikipedia page. So are you saying that the Wikipedia page is only valid for the examples that show Anonymous in a good light???
What would be an acceptable source for you? I thought these were all pretty much common knowledge for anyone that knows the history of Anonymous anyway...Wikipedia just puts them all together nicely in one place.
crashing the Iranian Governments servers during the Iranian Protests, attacking the banks that stopped paying donations to wikileaks, Scientology campaign, shutting down an Irish Political party website for sensoring free speech which they had set up the site to promote
All of these are examples of them doing the exact same thing that they are supposedly fighting for.
"You aren't allowing free speech (in our opinion)...we will shut down your website." HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO ANYONE?
And the whole Scientology thing is again a matter of opinion. They don't agree with them...so they want them silenced.
Is that the type of rule you want....agree with us or we will shut you up???

Please educate me wise one. Give me the knowledge and the sources that show the true benevolent nature of Anonymous.
Seriously...show me...because obviously you have some secret information about the group.

old anon and new anon.
old anon has some principles and targets for the people...people on this board would be doing things with the best intent. They don't bother me much overall because what they do has some morals behind it.
new anon are a bunch of retarded asshats whom just try to break anything for the lulz. will gladly rip apart a small mom and pop shop website out of fun, etc. Those are the type that need to be found and doing some hard prison time with bubba (for the lulz)
Anonymous, by the very definition, does not have an agenda, and so you cannot simply say you support anon blindly because for every saint, there is a sinner in the crowd kinda thing.
just wanting to add some perspective.

A non accountable non elected group of people that decide on an arbitrary basis who is or isn't guilt of and punishable for things they as a group deem as bad

As awesome as this is... I fear that we could face the threat of Obama pushing the "Internet Shut-Off Switch" if groups like anonymous are threatening the government.
It was a great video though, and this is just another perfect example of how the US talks about spreading freedom and democracy to the world, while in reality, it has supported a lot of regimes that are the exact opposite.

At the end of the day you came in here blasting about Anon this and that, I merely highlighted the fact that your pre-determined opinion is blinding you to the facts! You can accept that if you want or not I dont really care! If you can't see it I can't do anything for you.
