    Enjoy it while it lasts. Because SCO and MS are going to sodomize Linux and leave it out in the dumpster next to OS/2.

    Never heard a woman complain of "feeling bloated" because she is "retaining water"?

    Yes, I'm sure he hasn't. Douche bag.

    I just wouldn't expect it to make headlines...

    It is official; UN Statistics now confirms: the USA is dying.

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered USA when president Bush confirmed that their markets have dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction their value when he began his term. Coming on the heels of a recent UN survey which plainly states that America has lost its way, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. America is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by being the most hated nation in the world.

    You don't need to be a foreigner to predict America's future. The hand writing is on the wall: America faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Americans because the USA is dying. Things are looking very bad for America. As many of us are already aware, as the American economy continues to collapse.

    Red ink flows like a river of blood. For all practical purposes, all Americans are dead, or at least should be.
