Red Hat Cornering SCO in Delaware

LordNite writes "There is a great article over at Groklaw on the latest motion in the RedHat's Delaware suit. RedHat has filed for the start of discovery. Looking at the list of documents RH is requesting it looks like SCO will finally have to come clean. Naturally SCO is trying to stall. It looks like the beginning of the end of this whole mess." The faster this can get into court and be over, the better.

    How convenient for you to sit across the pond and judge the U.S. based on what little information you hear through your news media and special interest groups.

    I realize that it's now fashionable to bitch about the U.S. (and has been for decades now) but this is getting out of hand. How many black people do you have in Norway? Do they generally tend to act like the rest of the population?

    You have NO idea about what is really going on in the U.S. Why don't you come here and live in the scum of the earth parts of town? Then tell me that putting cop killers away is bad.

    Not all black people in the U.S. are bad and that is true regardless of their economic status. However, there is this growing amount of people who are stupid, unmotivated, extremely poor, and have no desire to ever do anything with their lives. Once they realize they fucked up by dropping out back in 8th grade they turn to illegal activities as a source of income since no one in their right mind would hire them for a real job.

    Here's a story I heard from my best friend (who lives in a different state): His wife is in her last year of college and is now student teaching. The kids were being rowdy the other day so she told them that anyone who didn't want to learn should move to the back of the room and turn the desk around to face the wall. The white kids, the asian kids, the hispanic kids, and all of the other kids except for the black kids knew she meant business and paid attention. But the black kids in the class went to the back of the room and thus admitted freely that they weren't interested in learning.

    That time she let them do whatever they wanted (homework from another class, sleep, whatever). Next time she does it she is planning on making anyone who decides not to learn write an essay on why they don't want to learn.

    Why is it that a country founded on the principle of hard work for great rewards has an ever increasing segment of the population that wants nothing more than to lay back and eek out a living doing the absolute minimum amount of work? Could it be because people like you bitch and scream any time "poor black people" who are just misunderstood "innocent 'criminals'" go to prison for their crimes?

    Could it be because an entire political party (the Democratic party) aligns themselves behind nearly every cause relating to black people regardless of how asinine it is simply so they can get the "black vote" and the votes of bleeding hearts? What exactly is the black vote anyway? What motivates almost an entire race to vote in lock step for the same party regardless of how screwed up their social policies are?

    There's a growing number of hard working people of all races in this country who are fed up with this shit. My only hope is that we can restore sanity to this country without turning back the clock 40 years on civil rights. Sadly, if more black people don't wake up out of their democratic party induced coma, it's not going to be pretty.

    So, how are things in Norway? Are you living next to a slum? No? Oh. Well surely you've got a fair number of perfectly healthy people in your country who refuse to go to school and get decent jobs? No? Well surely you have ethnic tensions in Norway? Oh, your population is almost entirely nordic. I guess you wouldn't have any fucking clue then. Would you?
