      No, you insulted someone's religion. Of course it got voted down.

    But if we do not stick together they the company's will just have there way with us.

    Sounds good, but you only said "there", without saying where.

    So if it's hunting season then it's somebody else's safe?

    Man... your quoted sentence is wrong in so many ways it made my head hurt while trying to parse it:

    - "they the company" (as opposed to we the people?)
    - "The company's will" (so, because they died, they the companies are making a "will"
    - "Have there way" ... as you said... have where??

    I am really happy I did not learn English as a second language in Slashdot :(
