It was something you could do yourself, and not have to track down some sketchy criminal to buy some fake identity that may or may not work.
It was a major crime that you could pull off all by yourself, without getting involved with anyone else
Ok rebel. But that wasn’t what we’re discussing. The point of the discussion was whether or not it was easy. And by everything you keep saying, it was an enormous pain in the ass to do what you’re describing. And well, it may not have been a pain in the ass for you in particular, for any normal person it would’ve been. And the more you keep “explaining”, the more and more you prove that to be the case.
I don’t even know what you’re trying to argue at this point. That you committed crimes and are there for a cool? Because it certainly was neither simple nor easy the way you describe it.

The point was that in the old days, that’s what you had to do to create an entirely new identity, and considering how effective it was, it really wasn’t that complicated or difficult.
Only today, where so many things are easy, does a few steps, including a couple of hours in a cemetery, a couple of letters, and some waiting time, sound like insurmountable obstacles. That’s especially true, when you consider that today, you probably couldn’t do it yourself, and you’d have to involve yourself with some people you probably don’t want to deal with, and pay a ton of money.
But yeah, the old way was harder, because you had to walk around.

You are the only person in this entire comment section discussing that. As I have said, many times now, the rest of us were discussing creating a fake ID. You keep trying to change the subject.
Except you described, in a bit of the detail, exactly how difficult it was, and how long it took. You keep claiming the opposite of what you spend paragraphs explaining.
I’m sorry you’re so confused. But this has been a waste of my time. I’m blocking you because everything you say is nonsense.

I was making a minor contribution to a discussion, and that would have been the end of it, but something about it seemed to really offend you, and send you on the attack. All I’ve done since then is reiterate my opinion that taking a few steps isn’t really that difficult, but you can’t seem to let it go. You’ve already forced the two of us to put far more effort into this argument than it would take to actually create a fake identity on the 60s.
I’ve never seen someone so lazy that they’d get infuriated by three simple steps, with one requiring you to go outdoors.
