HC chars aren't weaker than the SC ones, but they have only one life. Meaning, if a HC character dies, you can't press "ESC" and respawn in town. the char is gone, dead, no way of getting him back. if the HC char was alone in the game and hadn't allowed someone else to loot his body, the epquipment and everything in his inv are gone, too, when he dies.
That's why most HC players are more careful when playing.
btw. did you know that typing in all caps (LIKE THIS) is considered "shouting"? take a look at your posts - it looks like your shouting all the time! most people will either ignore someone who shouts or get angry at him. me, I just think it looks silly. if you want some friendly help - stop typing in all caps. we're a friendly and helpful bunch.. well, most of us
