>to be responsible citizens, instead
>of busting them ?
Indeed. Of course, part of teaching children is correcting their behavior. Sometimes this means making them stand in a corner, sometimes this means expelling them from school, sometimes this means prison.
If a child on a playground is beating up another child, they will be punished.
If a child writes a malicious program that causes damage, they too should be punished.
>Aren't they also victims of this messed up,
>disgusting society, just like drug addicts ?
In a word, no. Your comparison is flawed. That is, unless programming has become addictive and people are selling copies of programming manuals on the street somewhere.
> Do you got kids ?
I have two children.
Do you have a high school diploma? Your grammar would indicate otherwise.
