The Brits are gay! The Brits prefer peeping on each other.
Notice that our country is not their monarchal colony, and that the
United Kingdom is not four states. Good thing us and the Russians saved
Europe in World War II, although Russia itself was bad, for a while.
Did you hear about that firecracker school in China?

All their hackers are government people.
Everyone has hear dof the distinction between hackers and crackers. A
cracker is a hacker that uses hacking to commit a crime, basically.
Hackers have varying definitions of crime, but they're good.
So, I think the government better stop giving itself so much rope.
