Re:!!!GO USA!!!

Ahhh, how refreshing

only a true redneck could even begin to assume that America "kicks ass" in "every political, social, education, and economic category"

lets tackle these one at a time shall we;

Political -- Have you seen the brain dead psycho who YOU voted in

Social -- Absolutly. I couldnt agree more with a country who would watch someone die in the street if they couldnt afford health care

Education -- Dont make me laugh. Your high school examinations would be aced by an 11 year old in Europe (BTW, its Maths, not Math)

Economic -- True, The good ole' U S of A is the largest economy on the planet due to its sheer size, so how come a country the size of you smallest state is the fourth largest economy (thats the UK by the way, I think you'll find we invented the computer)

Sorry to flame, but you realy must be some kind of moron to rant about "Go USA!" in a technology BBS. Its people like you who keep the barriers in place instead of smashing them down. No doubt you think I am some kind of "Commie", but you probably didnt hear that the cold war ended.

Idiot

Actually, the Gopher protocol is quite old. If my memory serves correctly, it originated in the late 80's and was actually a predessescor (fuck it) to HTTP, which is the current protocal in use.

Of course, anything bashing MS's inability to keep up with new technology would get modded up here... Good job idiot crack-whore mods. Its not even new technology.
