Nice. Oh, i did not mean hackers and drugs, they are not really what I classify as a hardcore, criminalised addict who is now at the point where the drug runs them... most hard non-pc crimes, are this way. Although, i know of many many people who abuse benzodiazepedines, and thats where it can get only abit tricky to *speak* with them ;p , however, this does not classify to me, as a harder tyope, who would rip that computer outta your hand and take it to sale! Thats the crims i mean, and thats the reason why PC users have a much higher chance to not be any kind of 'repeat' addict... simply just they are not running around, daily, robbing things and people, (how would they use a pc...) and many actually, work at places. So, it is a rather good area to look at, because the chances of rehabbing a PC/IT user, is much much better than any harder criminal who has done say, 20yrs of theyre life (out of 25 yrs on earth), behind jail bars. Anyhow, i think alot of hackers do *abuse* but, not addicted, to drugs, wich makes me wonder why they do it, some i know, have to for medical reasons, and know this, and when under influence, usually jump offline or stay afk abit.. Some, just abuse at a low level with pills, but if you were to count IV users amongst hackers vs IV users amongst the public/crime scenes there, then you would have a very different sizing. Is good reading to look at a few cases, regarding drugged people committing crimes, and compare the statistics to the turn-about with jail, wich is probably 99% amongst the hardcore crims, rotation rate*. Anyhow, cheers! xd
