People that hack websites have way too much spare time on their hands, and have not a care in the world for other people's property or for the damage they cause.
Most hackers consider what they do noble or honorable. As a matter of fact, they think it is their duty to hack websites and expose weaknesses to code. Yet, what they do reaks havoc and damages so many others in the process. They have probably never thought of creating a site of their own to hack so that we non-hacking people don't have to deal with their uncool deeds.
Hackers consider themselves cool, yet what they do is only considered cool in their world, their cyberworld.
True hackers are supposed to have ethics and supposedly care enough about those they hack that they do no harm. Hackers that cross that fine line and do harm, at least in dictionary terms, are considered crackers and care only about themselves. As far as I am concerned, they are the detritus of society. They are hacks.
