  1. In this new generation,,wheather you are a good businessman,or woman or Good company and not good company,,there are people will come to distrube company owner or company operation,, because people have no happiness. Ecclesiastes 6 : 6,8 / Mangangaral 6: 6,8

  2. EVERYTHING ILLEGAL, TASTES BETTER AND IT'S FUN
    TRY TO STEAL A DONUT AND BUY ONE, NOW COMPARE EACH OTHERS AND YOULL FIND THE STOLEN ONE IS BETTER 🙂
    SAME WITH HACKING/CRACKING… ILLEGAL = GOOD
