Never heard of it. Someone else told me that little story once and I remembered it is all, she didn't say where she got it from.

Your friend should give credit where it's due.



Jeez that credit thing has been posted like 15000 times on /.



Dammit Phish should really stop stealing our steam accounts. It seems that the money they make from CDs and concerts aren't enough to satisfy their mighty lust for Counter-Strike.

I didn't get it. Besides which, nobody told me how non-impersonating phishery is illegal.

I'm pretty sure I was banned for expanding something once.

How is 'phishing' news... it seems as tho this fridays 'news' is just a lame attempt to fill news at valve...



P.S. If you're stupid enough to fall for any of this sh1t, you deserve to have you account stolen... and you also deserve to die in a fire...

Dont be such an extremeist. The term stupid is an opinion word that all depends on comparison. If we went by your logic, you condemn yourself to die because in comparison to einstein youre stupid. Even beside that fact, stupidity is never a reason someones life should be ended, or deserv to have thier account stolen, or any other heartless action aginst them. Stupidity alone, is enough punishment.



Theres nothing directly malvolent about being dumb or ignorant. What should be looked down on or shunned upon is not the inocent witless. But the intentional dishearted con artists that seek to exploit people for thier own personal and selfish gain.

[Thortok2000]

I agree that con artists need to be handled in some way but I still think that the human population is big enough already. If you're going to cull something, cull the stupid and the ignorant, possibly the immature, so the human race can continue to advance.

Big enough already? sounds to me like your trying to justify murdering people. Maybe youre worst than the two combined. People tend to do thier own thing.



As far as i know stupidity hasnt held back any "human advancement", smart people will invent and come out with inovations in science, recreation, medical, regardless of how many idiots are out there.

As far as culling goes, insert a drug into the water that removes fertility. You don't have to 'murder' anyone. Then let only smart people with good parenting skills raise children.



Stupidity has brought the USA pretty far downhill, and it's one of the most ignorant countries. It's ironic that I can't even tell you what all it's ignorant of because I'm an American citizen myself.



But we assume we're the best because we don't care enough about the rest of the world to see if anything's better. Our education system is crap and the government won't fix it because the majority of the people are stupid because they were raised by the crappy education system, and the majority rules the elections which controls who's in power. Nobody knows anything anymore and most of those who do don't care.



I've never liked society and that's all I have to say about that.



Nobody's said anything about what exactly makes phishing illegal anyway.

Most ignorant country? have you not seen north korea? They have no private media, they probably have no idea what goes on outside the world, theres no mainstream information to get it to them. Or howabout any middle eastern country, they are hundreds of years behind us, if you study englands or our history you can find some great comparisons to how we used to act 2-3 hundred years ago. USA is one of the most informed countries, we have more private media outlets and the widest branching departments. I think your mixing up "spoiled from middle class to upper class values" with "ignorance".



We dont care enough about the rest of the world? Are you nuts? Its the usa that gives more foreign aid than any other country in the world, aswell as americans give more to charity than any other country(based on annual salary avg). And whos the first one on the scene to help of any calamity that happens anywhere on this planet?

Argueing with you about this stuff is making me feel rather stupid myself. And i think the reasons why are self-evident.

I smell a Bush crotch-rider.

Something smells phishy.

"give me yr account details"

[Thortok2000]

I actually would've voted for Bush, the first time, if I had voted. I've never voted even since I turned 18.



Have I ever heard of North Korea? Barely, I think it was mentioned once, off hand, in school. Is it anywhere near Vietnam? Or Thailand?



I suck at the following subjects because my schoolteachers never made me interested in them: Civics, World History, Geography, Western Civilization, similar stuff. And I don't watch TV at all, much less the news, and when on the internet I read maybe 2-3 headlines a week without reading any articles. I find basically anything non-fiction to be really boring.



And I'm not saying the country as a whole is ignorant. As someone else said, the small minority will still continue to advance in spite of the ignorant majority. Some USA citizens make some of the best advancements in some fields. I'm just saying that (mostly do the crappy education system that's been there since before Clinton) the majority of people in this country grow up stupid.



I mean, here's an ignorance check. Who invented the internet?



A) A group of teachers in USA

B) A group of scientists in USA

C) The USA military

D) One of the above answers, but not USA



Ask that of the majority of people and they won't say D, which is the true answer.
