The Autistic Hacker: is He at Fault?

[Macgyvercas]

assburgers people are just a bunch of attention-whoring dickshits. The proper term for their "illness" is Autistic Psychopathy. Any other group of psychopaths are locked up for the good of mankind, but assburgers have convinced the world they're special. Lock him up for life. And then pass a law that requires euthanization of anyone who uses assburgers as an excuse.

I have aspergers and some of us are attention whores but so are "normal" people (for example: Charlie Sheen or Paris Hilton)
and unlike Chris Chandler most of us are mentally stable and form no threat to the society.

Quoted for truth. It's people like the guy you quoted that really tick me off (Aspergers as well, diagnosed at age 6).

OT: In regards to the hacker, this guy's post sums up my thoughts.

Was he fully aware that what he was doing was illegal?
Yes, so he should be punished like any other hacker.

If a person without Aspergers or Autism hacked into a system and their excuse was "But I was REALLY curious!" it wouldn't help their defence.

Let him suicide. One less psychopath in the world.

This is the fird post where you cry for the death of another man due to some mental problem. I don't know your problem, but this is way over the top, Kiraxa.

I'd be fine with him not dying. As long as hes locked up for life. Along with everyone else who says they have assburgers. Though dying would be cheaper.

Look, Asperger is the "light" form of Autism. Now, if an asperger do so much trouble to you, what do you do when you meet an autist?

Ignore them like I ignore dogs. Since they're the same thing.

Kiraxa confirmed for psychopath.

Kiraxa confirmed for sociopath.

That is not exactly a good thing, you know. Actually, is kind of bad.

Frankly, yes, he should still be charged.

I don't care if you have ADHD or autism or Asperger's Syndrome, that should not be a free pass for anything at all. None of those conditions are untreatable, nor are they even remotely difficult to treat. We as a culture need to stop feeling bad for these sorts of people with extremely minor mental disorders, and stop letting them use it as an excuse or scapegoat.

Schizophrenia, maybe, would be another story. But certainly not Asperger's.

actually ADHD and Aspergers are untreatable (Ritalin only combat,s the "symptoms")
but I agree people should stop using scape goats when they do stuff.

huh funny people keep telling me that I need to tell MORE people I have ADD because I I am constantly not catching things in classes and dazing off in lectures so I miss important things and end up failing assignments but I guess your right its my fault...

Not necessarily your fault, but I would say it's completely under your control if you would make an effort to improve. ADD makes it more difficult to focus, but not anywhere near impossible. And if you really can't help yourself, maybe you should get help in the form of medicine or therapy.

I do wonder, what has happened that makes you dislike or even hate people because of this?

kk guys. Queue the SS death squad and have him and his family rounded up. Let's purge that gene pool.

 

[TakerFoxx]

Uh, Kiraxa? You do realize that the Escapist has several members who have Asperger's Syndrome, right? Just checking.

I live in USA, where being a sociopath is considered one of the best attributes you can possibly have by the upper echelons of the country.

Never heard about that. It's still a bad thing, as I really kind find any social reason way lack of empathy and wishing another man dead is good.

 

[Maze1125]

Every assburger harms society with their presence.

Well that's a completely irrational and unprovable claim.

snip

to be fair most people,s experience with autistic people is Chris Chandler and he doesn't really doing a job of putting us in a positive light. (I personally think he doesn't have Autism and is just mentally/socially challenged)
also I don,t defend this troll or ignorant user.

 

[Gametek]

Excuse me, my question is different. Did he even found anything on the UFO matter?

As for the prison, it's -tecnically- impossible. Gary is british, and last time I checked, US stand for United State. The USA are powerfull, but not to the point of arrest a citizen of another country. And I think that the England government will be all over Gary information, trying to steal any single private file of USA. They will obviusly try to stop, or at least buy some time, to take a look to any single Data in Gary's Harddisks...

Firstly, they can. It's called extradition. Look at one of my previous posts in this thread to ascertain the rest of the info you need on that one.

Second, if they were going to do that with the hard drives, they'd have done it by now, this tale is several years old now. And frankly, they probably already had them, they have got much better cracker's on the payroll (mainly because it's more gainful to employ them than punishment when you ctach 'em, provided that you do it quietly and so can not look like you're rewarding criminal activity).

Even if the GB government discovered that before the USA, a cracker this good to break USA cyber defence is mana from the heaven. Think how much information they could acquire using him. And still, I don't think that the USA database are cracked this often, or even that the GB crackers are better then the american one. Mostly because extremly skilled cracker are very rare.

The best way I can sum it up is... if people want a pet, fine, go get a dog. Bringing a human with the mental attributes of a dog into the world is cruel to the dog and society as a whole. Assburgers are worse because they have the personality attributes of a dog, but the intellect of a person, but not enough intellect or willpower to overcome their compulsions, so they wind up being worse for society than anything other than straight criminals.

What? THIS DON'T MAKE ANY -FUCKING- SENSE!

[and it's not even a funny trolling]

So then, Kiraxa, it should be fine to cull douche bags of the highest order from the gene pool since they don't provide any benefits to the gene pool when it comes to (say) increasing the average IQ factor?
Great, stand in front of the wall over there. *points to bloodstained and bullet hole riddled wall* Yes, right there, in front of that area with green blood from the last execution of a bunch of Romulan bastards will be fine. We were gonna repaint it next week anyway.

 

[TakerFoxx]

Eh, we won't have to deal with him much longer, anyway. He's bought his ticket to the ban train.

 

[Platypus540]

He should be punished fully, but given medical treatment. He still had to make the decision to hack the computers.

I think the train has been canceled. Looks like we're waiting for the replacment ban bus service...
