  I wonder why they don't include a lameless filter to filter out the first posters...
  
  I mean, like in the first 5 minutes, don't allow any posts with the strings "First Post" or "FP" or similar

  True! And somehow eliminate the people that feel a need to point it out and respond to first posters!
  
  Oh, and eliminate people like you. Now shut the fuck up asshole.

  Because their commander-in-chief says it like that.
  It's "folksy", you know. Who would like a posh twit like Tony Blair who talks like one of the lisping twink prostitutes you meet at the Piccadilly circus roundabout when you can have a real, butch Texan man with his finger on the nuclear button?

Actually, the French by Anonymous Coward · 2002-10-10 23:47 · Score: -1, Offtopic

They're an easy target. You can write an insult about anything, and still insult the French in some way.

Example:

I do not like Cheese

See! Its easy. Although not a direct attack on the French, or even an attack of any sort, you can still use the above sentence to insult a Frenchman.

*lol* .. mod me down, and keep moderating the parent up - which is still not true and neither interesting nor informative ;)

Again, for the moderators who know nothing about the crypto in Bluetooth, it's NOT bluefish. The parent post is trying to be funny, so please - before marking this down as off topic again - first correct the moderation of the parent from informative/interesting to funny.
