   nothing.  cyberpunks cannot exist as they are characters in books.

   this doesn't make you a cyberpunk.  it makes you foolish.  for many reasons.   
   but lets face it.  no one will thank you for the truth.  don't you ever read   
   between the lines?   
      
   While

   a gross generalisation.  i wish people would stop doing that.

   better you than me.   
      
      
    Or you label us as criminal's,   
      
   perhaps you are?  depends on what you're doing at the time.  if you're   
   walking your dog then i will agree it is an injustice.  if you're robbing a   
   bank, then suffer the consequences.

   no.  he's a twit who likes the style.  and he is entitled to have an   
   opinion.  or have the cyberpunk nazis spoken again?  and i really liked his   
   80's stuff!!!!!

   same as i do now.  being rude.

   don't worry, i'll be there at the bar to cry in the beer next to you...  and   
   i'll deny the aliens ever came!  i'm very good at ignoring the rest of the   
   world.
