This is retarded

This hoopla over the recent credit card account theft is retarded. There are so many things wrong with the reporting of this incident not to mention the incident itself that it is ridiculous. First of all, these fucking computer experts give their little sound bytes that makes it seem so freaking simple to break into a computer system as if all systems are built with this intrinsic weakness. These bastards are just instilling irrational fear in people about storing data electronically. Lets all just put stuff on paper in file cabinets again, yeah that will be safe. I think I want to personally slap every reporter on TV reporting this incident. 99% of those reporters don't know a damn thing about computer security except of what they have read in PC World magazine. They feed into the irrational fear with their skewed view and incomplete knowledge.

Aside from the abysmal reporting regarding computer issues in general, especially security, the main problem is the way the system is setup. These so called privacy advocates who don't want national records keept on citizens do more harm than good with their paranoia. It really shouldn't matter if someone has a fucking number and your address in order to impersonate you. If we had a national fingerprint and picture database then it would be virtually impossible to steal someone's indetity for face to face purchases. How many people can fake both a fingerprint and someone's face. Let me tell you, maybe about 5 people in the country. Maybe also have a voiceprint for even more security. I don't get what the big deal is about having a detailed records stored by the government about their citizens. What is the big fucking deal. Paranoid losers think the g-men are out to get them. THE MAN may have his foot up your ass but he can't screw you everywhere or else he wouldn't get his cut. Fuck this isn't even worth explaining anymore. The answer is so simple. Identity theft is the most preventable crime and no one wants to take the right steps to prevent it. All we have is a bunch of half-assed answers that don't do shit.
