    Did you ever wonder why Slashdot only supports 7-bit ASCII, i.e. no extended ASCII, Unicode or ISO-8859 characters?

    Because Slashdot is a wholly American and Patriot website, that's why.

    Think about it! Do you want Slashdot to become a forum for terrorists, where they can freely discuss plans for taking away our freedom and killing our brave soldiers through HORRIBLE ACTS OF TERRORISM in their own language and the heathen Arabic script? Unicode, a system that enables terrorists worldwide to plan terrorist actions and communicate through the Internet. Though most try to cover it up, it is no secret to most IT-savvy Americans that Unicode development is partly funded by Al-Qaeda and partly by the French, dictator-supporting government.

    There is none of that anti-social trash here. Slashdot supports only AMERICAN, PATRIOTIC CHARACTERS. Eurotrash, look out, because you can't use your fucking umlauts and ~'s here. We saved your sorry asses in World War II -- the least you can do is show some fucking respect and use our alphabet. Slashdot does not support your anti-American characters. 7-bit ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is commonly known as US-ASCII. This speaks for itself. The one and only choice for PATRIOTIC AMERICANS is US-ASCII, the STANDARD CODE for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I'm proud to be an American, and I'm PROUD be a member of this patriotic, American Slashdot community. I am not going to let freedom-hating terrorists plot evil plans on an American-owned, FREE SPEECH website.

    Do not believe the terrorist propaganda lies.
    Boycott Unicode -- it is a tool of terrorism.
    USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN US-ASCII AND THE TERRORISTS HAVE ALREADY WON.

    Call me when this new veggie can make my penis bigger.

    Although, you'll have to prove to me that it works better than the few dozen brands of pills and creams that I get offered to me daily in my inbox.

    Everyone here should watch Penn and Teller's Bullshit episode on Gene Modified Food (Season 1 episode 11) and then come on here and talk about it. It might change your opinion on it. Check your favorite BT site for torrents.


    People in developed countries can bad mouth shit like this because we don't worry where our next meal is going to come from. It's different in the third world where you may never know where your next meal will come from. Anti-Science hysteria has got to stop.
