Yes, computer virus writers should go to jail. We have all been exposed to viruses that are destructive, not only to our computers but also to our finances. Machines may be obtained in place of another but the actual destructive force of a computer virus is in our pockets, our finances. What is the purpose of a virus but to destroy, and why write a virus if the whole idea is to ruin? What motivates a virus writer to demolish another's project? Why do it at all? Do virus writers find satisfaction in wrecking another's project and/or product? It is beyond understanding how one would manufacture something that is totally a force that not only demolishes another's product but also places the product maker into financial ruin. In terms of consideration and justification, a virus writer is nothing but a virus itself, a worm that invades the privacy of others, and a thoughtless individual who glories in his evil actions.

Punishing a computer virus writer with jail is not enough punishment for someone so selfish and is without concern for others. A computer virus writer should be castigated severely, publicly and in the presence of those whose lives have been ruined through his action. A computer virus writer should be housed in a mental facility where his brains should be removed. A computer virus writer should be given a life sentence of hard labor and subsequently sentenced to death. A computer virus writer should be relegated to the lowest of all animal species, to be regarded as nothing but a thoughtless, selfish, and brain-dead piece of meat.

Whatever happened to ethics and good behavior and concern for others? Whatever happened to good conduct and moral judgment? Why must our world be dirtied with computer virus writers, whose intent is a gross destruction of another? Who glories in another person's ruination? What kind of individual deliberately creates something in order to tear down another's project and/or product. What senseless individual comes up with a computer virus that demolishes another's product? Where have we failed in our intent to make this world a better place to live with computer virus writers roaming the earth? Have we lost our ability to be considerate, to be giving, to be godly? Is there nothing to look forward to in the future but nastiness and evil? Have we lost our belief in the goodness of the human heart, of the humane?
