    I caught you you lying piece of trash, I FUCKING KNEW you were lying and your "it happened 20 odd years ago (when there weren't but a handful of Hispanics in Orlando) and I can't remember the street (because it never fucking happened)" bullshit is transparent. I would have taken major crosstreets mother fucker, but you would lie and pretend you didn't remeber them either, becuase you know ANYTHING you saw won't be true.

    No wonder she is your "then wife", she saw you as the same thing I do, a lying sack of garbage.

    So, since I know you're lying about that, and I challenge you to name the store and location (street names liar, don't cop out), because I know you're full of shit and can't.

    It's pretty fucking sad that you have to lie about something so trivial just to make yourself feel important.

    Please quote anywhere in his post that says "one side of the political spectrum" has anything cornered.

    Then, when you fail to find it because it's not there, spend some time examining why your stupid knee-jerk response assumed so, and why you're incapable of looking at criticism of your side (save the denials, you won't convince anyone) without whining about being pigeonholed like you did.

    "thw worst thing you can do is ramp up production and burn through your last remaining drops"

    This just isn't accurate ,especially in this case. If the oil were irreplacable, you may have an argument, but it isn't.

    As the cost of oil goes up, the financial incentive to use something else increases, while also becoming cost competitive.

    If you ration, you create artificial scarcity, but you also remove a major incentive to find alternatives. In addition, and not accidentally IMNSHO, you condition people to live on an energy diet. I'm sure some of you love that idea, but I consider rationing out of necessity a scientific failure.

    OH, YES IT WILL

    If i write code that does the job I intended for it, but have never debugged it, you're claiming that's not working code.

    That, frankly, is about the dumbest thing I've see posred here, and apart from being logically vacuous ("code that works but hasn't been tested or debugged doesn't work" um, WTF?) it's just wrong.

    Because, even if you got lucky and made no
    mistakes, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THAT UNTIL YOU FACT CHECKED IT, PROOFREAD IT AND EDITED IT. With code, if it works, nothing else is necessary. With code the goal is to work. With texts, the goal is accuracy and clarity which you cannot have without review. Software has NO such requirement, and your attempts to argue otherwise are demonstrably wrong.

    Furthermore, you posted AC which is a tacit admission that your point is too stupid to assign your name to.

    Even furthermore, calling me an asshole at the end of a post that had virtually no intelligent commentary in it doesn't do anything to change the fact that I'm right, and frankly, if you zealots think I'm an asshole after I've destroyed your delusions about open source software like I did here, then I'll take the insult with pride.
