Rik writes "Thursday night the Dutch parliament has decided that the Dutch government should not vote for the EU Software Patent Directive at the European Council of Ministers next week. The decision of the Dutch parliament strengthens attempts of MEPs of the European Parliament to send the Software Directive back to the drawing board."

A government making decisions for the people, by the people? Decisions being made based on rational arguments rather than religious drivel or buddies big business interests?

Fuck you America! And fuck you Americans! Your piece of shit country is destroying the world. Your shitty way of life is not our way of life, and it never will be. And you're all equally responsible. Please dirl.
