Hey now. Coal from West Virginia gives electricity to the whole United States, and we have some of the most beautiful and accessible landscapes in the world. There are rednecks everywhere, and I don't know anyone that says 'yaehoo' here. Please know what you're talking about before you blatantly bash Appalachia.
"gay propaganda," eh? Well, you know, every homosexual act is merely brought about by peer pressure. And once we all submit to the gay culture, we just won't be able to reproduce anymore. God knows gay people never have children, even by adoption or artificial insimination.
>Sorry, but you are wrong. The accepted meaning of the word means, at its purest, "one who enjoys >programming." There is quite a bit of skill connotated. Check out the Jargon file for more info.
I did. And you shouldn't be so quick to judge. Here is the definition straight out of the Jargon file (not including the special section entitled "The Meaning of 'Hack"):
hack 1./n./ Originally, a quick job that produces what is needed, but not well. 2./n./ An incredibly good, and perhaps very time-consuming, piece of work that produces exactly what is needed. 3./vt./ To bear emotionally or physically. "I can't hack this heat!" 4./vt./ To work on something (typically a program). In an immediate sense: "What are you doing?" "I'm hacking TECO." In a general (time-extended) sense: "What do you do around here?" "I hack TECO." More generally, "I hack `foo'" is roughly equivalent to "`foo' is my major interest (or project)". "I hack solid-state physics." See Hacking X for Y. 5./vt./ To pull a prank on. See sense 2 and hacker (sense 5). 6./vi./ To interact with a computer in a playful and exploratory rather than goal-directed way. "Whatcha up to?" "Oh, just hacking." 7./n./ Short for hacker. 8. See nethack. 9. [MIT]/v./ To explore the basements, roof ledges, and steam tunnels of a large, institutional building, to the dismay of Physical Plant workers and (since this is usually performed at educational institutions) the Campus Police. This activity has been found to be eerily similar to playing adventure games such as Dungeons and Dragons and Zork. See also vadding.

Do you have a personal relationship with God, has he told you that Christianity is wrong?
Yes, the Christian God came to me, and said 'All the people that believe in me are wrong.' That makes sense, buddy.

It's back now, try again.
