Death Isn't A Hobby
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
I was just booting my computer up to try and work on another
|
|
file for F.U.C.K. when a story came on the news about a kid who was
|
|
seriously injured when he found a homemade bomb in his friends backyard.
|
|
Apparently his friend had downloaded the bomb plans off of a
|
|
local BBS and had built it just for the fun of it. He then left it
|
|
lying behind his house and forgot about it until his best friend found
|
|
it, picked it up and accidentally detonated it. According to the report,
|
|
the bomb blew off 3 of his fingers, blew a hole through his cheek and
|
|
severely damaged his ear drum.
|
|
Of course there was a big deal made about WHERE the information
|
|
came from. And the kid that built the bomb was on the show. He
|
|
demonstrated how he signed onto a BBS and then downloaded a file detailing
|
|
how to build a bomb. Then it showed him scrolling through DOS Edit,
|
|
pointing out how the file explained what was needed to build the bomb,
|
|
how to go about obtaining these supplies and finally step by step how to
|
|
build the bomb.
|
|
K2 wrote a file similar to this back in F.U.C.K. #163, but
|
|
hopefully I can move in another direction to compliment his views. As
|
|
usual, I really have no idea where I'm going so bear with me if I begin
|
|
to ramble.
|
|
He goes on to say "Right here it says that it's for
|
|
informational purposes only but then they explain step by step how
|
|
to do it." He never once said anything to show any remorse...never
|
|
apologized to his friend or admitted that he made a mistake. He basically
|
|
blamed the whole thing on the BBS.
|
|
The news anchor then went on to warn parents not to let their
|
|
kids get into a situation like this and if they suspected their kids of
|
|
getting involved in something dangerous, that they should just ban them
|
|
from the computer.
|
|
As a final note just before breaking to commercials, the host
|
|
made a short note that this information wasn't just available on the
|
|
computer but in fact similar items have been available in the public
|
|
libraries for decades. But by then, it was not enough, too late. Any
|
|
parent that wasn't at least somewhat experienced with the Internet had
|
|
it set in their mind that if they let their child use the computer to
|
|
"sign on", they would blow up half their block. I wouldn't be suprised
|
|
if at least one kid got banned from AOL or Prodigy because of all the
|
|
"dangers" that lurk there.
|
|
I'm not sure what pisses me off the most about this whole thing.
|
|
Whether it was how they placed the blame on the computer or how there
|
|
was no mention of the kids stupidity. They made it seem like there was
|
|
nothing wrong with him building the bomb because of the fact that it
|
|
was on a local BBS. I'm kind of curious to see what would happen if
|
|
someone were to print out one of these bomb plans and pinned it up on
|
|
a Bulletin Board in a classroom at school. Would the computer still get
|
|
blamed even though the person that finds the plans and kills himself
|
|
trying to follow has probably never used a computer?
|
|
I know that in my old high school, bomb plans and other anarchy
|
|
related items were prominent. One kid even had a complete book of explosives
|
|
and pyrotechnics that his brother stole while on duty with the Navy. My
|
|
friends and I also used to make "M-80s" by packing gun powder into pill
|
|
bottles. And after the Oklahoma City bombing, 2 kids got in-school suspension
|
|
for trying to build a bomb out of gasoline and matches.
|
|
None of the above listed events had anything to do with a
|
|
computer, and luckily, no one ever got hurt. But the situation would
|
|
have been no different had we had access to on-line information.
|
|
After I graduated, I went on-line and was assaulted with the
|
|
vast array of underground information. I downloaded several files containing
|
|
bomb plans. I took these back to my hometown and we tried a few of these
|
|
out, but possessed the one attribute that can be your greatest asset while
|
|
doing any potential deadly projects. We had the intelligence to realize we
|
|
could get seriously injured if we fucked up and we had fear of blowing our
|
|
fingers off. As a result, we stuck to making simple tennis ball and drain
|
|
cleaner type bombs. Relatively "safe" bombs that were enjoyable to watch
|
|
detonate.
|
|
|
|
We never made a pipebomb because there was no reason to. We
|
|
weren't terrorists. We had no desire to kill anybody or destory anything. If
|
|
you want to kill a bunch of people, then build a pipebomb. If you want to
|
|
blow up your school, then build a pipebomb. If you're bored, then get
|
|
another pasttime. Flirting with death isn't a hobby, it's just stupid.
