Beatings Can Be A Good Thing

Recently I had the displeasure of a worm. No, not the living kind, the computer kind! I saw a link on a friend’s bulleting and didn’t even think that it might be a worm or virus. It was a link to get a gift certificate, I figured it wasn’t anything I would do, but thought I would check out to see if it was crap or worthwhile. After I clicked on it, unbeknownst to me, it sent itself out to everyone on my friends list (which isn’t a big list but still). So I start to get messages asking what it is, and others saying I have been hacked, and one that tells me they are pretty sure it is a worm. So I am annoyed and a little pissed… more embarrassed than pissed though at this point. Then a day or so later, all of a sudden, my mouse and keyboard stop working. Now I am pissed off. I try a few things to try and fix it and nothing is working, so I have to call Dell. Luck fully the computer is only a month old so I can still get help for free from Dell, but the fact that I have to call someone also pisses me off. After some issues with Dell (nothing too serious) I finally get my computer working and even learn a couple of extra things as well. All is well with the computer now (as far as I can tell) and I can get back to homework.

All this leads me into the real reason I wanted to blog about it, people/hackers that spend their time trying to get into or making programs to get into other peoples computers or websites to cause problems. I can somewhat understand trying to do that sort of thing to make money, it’s bullshit but lots of people always try to find ways to get money, legal or not. What I miss are the days that when someone did another person wrong, the wronged person could, without worry, knock the other person around. It was a deserved beating and everyone understood that, it kept people in line. Now-a-days there’s criminal charges, lawsuits, and the list goes on. I’m not saying violence solves everything, and perhaps it doesn’t solve anything, but the potential for it sure makes people think twice. I know the system that I speak of was abused, and in those cases there absolutely has to be consequences (charges, lawsuits, etc.), but otherwise, it seemed to work. I figure if I could somehow find the douche-bag/s that sent that worm out, throw them around a little bit, probably break their computer (maybe over their head?); they wouldn’t be willing to do that crap again. If they did, the process would be repeated, adding some more bodily harm, and eventually it could lead to death, but that would only improve the race be getting rid of someone who just doesn’t learn. Science shows the positive benefit of such things.

I’m not saying when there is a disagreement that this process starts, that is one way it was abused; the argument of “I’m bigger than you so I am right and you’re wrong” just doesn’t work. When a little turd is talking crap to someone bigger however, solely because there is no harm that will come to them, then the process should start. When it is the bigger person being the turd to the smaller one is when someone else needs to step in to dish out the smack down. I remember when I was younger; when someone said they were about to open a can of whoop-ass, people understood their wit wasn’t appreciated and would stop.

While I write this I think back to some of the dim-witted jocks I have came across, the ones that would fight each other, threaten others to get their way, or do the other things that made most people hate them. Those are the abusers of the beautiful system; they are the ones that wear society down. I hope everyone can understand that I am not a violent person and I don’t like fighting. There are times that call for it though and the way everyone thinks these days, it is often not used when it should be; come to think of about it though, it is often times used when it shouldn’t be. So tell me what you think, maybe I will make another blog in response to the comments, but don’t write anything retarded, OR ELSE, no I’m just joking… but seriously.
