kudos:8 | Palestinian hatred and software As much as I despise the Palestinian terrorists, I am troubled to see that so many of you instantly assume that because a coder is from Palestine, that he/she is automatically a terrorist, and was dancing in the street after 9-11. This is blatant stereotyping and is just plain wrong.
Should a coder be automatically hated, based on the country he/she is from? This is how the terrorists themselves think, and part of the reason it is so difficult to break the cycle of Palestinian/Israeli hatred.
Has anyone though that possible the person(s) who coded this filesharing application might just possibly be some productive person(s) one who is trying to stay out of trouble, away from the violence, and providing for a future, and perhaps a few bucks?
Or do you really think that this person(s) codes in their spare time, in between building bombs and loading AK-47s?
While I love conspiracy theories, it is more likely that adding the 'back-door' to this application, was more a matter of simple foolishness, not realizing the marketing damage it would create. The organization that created this app, is obviously not staffed by Stanford and MIT educated professionals. |
