  10. Why Americans hate Europeans by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    There are many reasons why Americans increasingly despise and distrust Europeans. First, the continued support of terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah by the french and others. The continual "trying" of communism. May Day is almost an official EU holiday. The millions of europeans who march on May Day is just another example of the leftist brainwashing that perpetuates Europe. Europe is the origin of so much suffering in the past century that for the most part people around the world look at the europeans with a wary eye. Third worlders can't trust europeans because of the barbaric colonizations of the third world by europe. Europeans have a serious issue with jealousy of Americans. Because of the fascist, socialistic policies of many Europeans countries, the standard of living of these people is much lower than Americans, so europeans take out their frustrations on America. The continued acceptance of the nanny state philosophy continues to degrade Europe until eventually it will become 3rd world. Germany has so many structural problems and the inability to face them that they are facing serious economic issues well in the latter half of this century. France continues to be a quasi-marxist state where it's next to impossible to conduct business and do research. Look at all the french scientists that are packing their bags for greener pastures. Spain has been scared into electing proto-marxists. The United Kingdom now has realized 1984 with cameras on every street(all in the name of safety). The reason that John Kerry did a violent reversal of his bragging of foreign endorsements is because if he would ever accept an endorsement of someone like Chirac it would be the deathnail of his candiacy. These are the reasons that europeans are despised by the vast majority of Americans.

      It has everything to do with reservign a day for workers, and nothing with communism. BEsides, a substantial part of the EU does not celerate it.

      If you had ever been outside of your little village there in a backwater state of the USA, you would have known that most of the world has a much bigger issue with the USA then with Europe.

      > Because of the fascist, socialistic policies of many Europeans countries, the standard of living of these people is much lower than Americans,

      According to definitions from people like Mussolini and Franco for facism, the current US government is a fascist one.

      Also, the livign standard in northwest europe is at most a few percent lower when measured in money, and likely better when measured in actual quality of life.

      Blahblahblah.

      Just to be very clear, I have a right to live in the USA, I lived there, and I am not going back anytime soon. I have this right because a company I work for needs me so desperately that they arranged for the permission to live and work there.
      SO much for your jealousy 'argument'.

      Now, if you wonder why people think they have to attack the USA (I don't agree with them btw, violence is not gonna solve this), you might want to consider that peopel like you who voted your current fascist government into office, are the main reason for why people feel like doing such things.

      Real reason why Americans hate europeans (male only):

      They are jealous that Europeans have better sex than them because they were not mutilated when they were babies.

      Hence the US concentration on violence, since half their nerve endings have been cut off to prevent them from enjoying sex.

So Anna put the kid on the floor in the middle of a room while she went in another room and had sex. The only problem with this was that the Anna had a ferret that literally ate out the side of this kid - her son.

    After she was finished, somehow CPS figured out what a shitty mother she was and took the kid away for a long time. I heard that her son still has the scars to prove it.

  22. Scottish teens convicted of sporting with dead OS by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Two teenagers who broke into a FTP server, downloaded a FreeBSD ISO and played with it were convicted Friday of violating the dead under an ancient Scottish law used by prosecutors for the first time in more than a century.

    Sonny Devlin, 17, of Edinburgh, and his 15-year-old companion, who could not be named as a minor, were found guilty in the High Court of "violation of a sepulcher" for their acts on the ftp.freebsd.org server in June last year. Both had pleaded innocent.

    The crime, which incorporates the Latin term for a burial place, carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment -- one that is unlikely to be given to the youths when they are sentenced April 20.

    The last recorded court case on this charge was in 1899, when William Coutts faced six such charges.

    Coutts was jailed for six months for digging up coffins to use for other burials.

    The law was most often used in the first part of the 19th century to prosecute "body-snatchers" who removed corpses for use as anatomical specimens.

    Witnesses told the court the defendants broke into the site on a dare to download the ISO, which was in a mummified state.

    The pair then installed it, and Devlin, who admitted that he had been drinking heavily before the incident, installed Linux software as though it could run on the dying OS.

    Devlin and his co-defendant stared straight ahead as the verdict was delivered, but several of their relatives broke down in tears in the public gallery.
