  1. Re:Too bad.. on The Full Nader Plus a Taste of Bush and Gore · · Score: 1

    That's lovely. I imagine you will be voting for GW too.
    Oh, wait, silly me, with a reply like that you are most likely too young to vote. Ah, well.

  2. How to achieve a Republican USA without voting: on The Full Nader Plus a Taste of Bush and Gore · · Score: 1
    Whoops I posted this to the wrong forum, hence the repost

    Here's a way for Republicans not to have to bother to vote - if they do everything here, they'll individually achieve what a Republican government would achieve, all without ever having to go to the polling station!

    • Pour 3 barrels of cyanide into the nearest river, killing everything for 40 miles downstream - no need to worry about pollution, mother earth will take care of that; and anyway, if any pollution is caused by corporations (which is obviously a liberal lie), we can safely let them police themselves. They'll voluntarily take steps to reduce it whatever the cost, won't they?
    • Fight to lower the price of gasoline, after all its everyone's god-given right to drive an SUV that gets 5 miles to the gallon - cars that do 25 mpg are for gays, commies and environmentalist wackos.
    • Dynamite your nearest family-planning clinic, and make sure that no-one under the age of 21 gets access to birth control - if they got a hold of condoms, my god, that will encourage them to have sex!!
    • Initiate prayer at school and at sports events. After all we hardly ever get to pray in our churches, do we?
    • In public say you are for medical care for children, and then secretly work against it - fuck-em, it's not as though they work for a living, the little leeches.
    • Tell your Grandparents to fuck off and stop whining about prescription costs. If they can't pay them then they should get up off their wrinkly asses and get a job.
    • Go out and kick the crap out of homosexuals, after all they have no rights, they are deviants in the eyes of God! The fact that over 10% of the population is gay is a fallacy made up by those damn liberals.
    • Donate 50% of your income to the war on drugs. We need to make more anti-drug laws! After all, we now have over 400,000 people in jail for non-violent drug crimes, which is 100,000 more than the whole European prison population for all crime - even though they have 100,000,000 more inhabitants. So we are no.1!!! We proved that prohibition worked for alcohol, we just need to pump a few more billion tax-payers dollars into it and it will work for drugs.
    Obviously I am a pinko European, so the above is merely an ill informed leftist rant.

    You don't like abortion and you value your freedom? That's lovely. What about a womans freedom to choose? Fuck other people's freedoms as long as you have yours and can moralise and pontificate all you want. The trouble with this country is that too many moralising right-wing wankers like you will vote for GW and he'll get in. Still you get the govenment you deserve I suppose. I'd laugh if it wasn't so fucking sad that due to your ignorant, selfish and pious nature a totally inexperienced, conservative dickhole with no clue about foreign policy (in fact no clue about anything save self-serving, selfish poiltics) will probably get in.

    I'm not surprised that your .sig say's "I'm sorry. I don't know what you mean by that."

    I bet that there is an awful lot that you don't understand, like any concept that takes you outside of that safe and bigoted world you live in. So you don't like homosexuals, and you don't agree with evolution? You sir, are a small minded, backward, dog-tosser. Don't you realise that your kind of christianity makes you the laughing stock of the world? Probably not, far too smug and self-rightous for that.

    Perhaps I shouldn't be shocked, but it amazes me that a forum such as Slashdot has attracted so many pig-ignorant racist morons.

    There, I feel better now.
  8. Re:Yawn. on Too Much Corporate Power? · · Score: 1

    In a free society that means lobbying. Trying to stop lobbying means trying to stop free speech.

    So since free speech is a constitutional right, we have a constitutional right to bribe politicians? And if you need money to pay for this lobbying does that mean that people with no money have no voice?

    I started off when I read your post and thought, what a load of bollocks. But that was probably just my knee jerk reaction to what appears to be a knee-jerk republican reaction.

    I think I agree with you! Aaaagghhh.

    On of the big problems in the US is the way campaigns are funded - the fact that large corporations fund the respective parties thereby undermining the democratic process (paying for special interests to be represented).

  13. Kubrik not commercial? on Anakin Actor to Star in Ender's Game · · Score: 1

    I thought that too. Had a great deal of respect for him. That is until "Eyes Wide Shut". The epitome of commercial. Two talentless hollywood wankers in a movie cut to ribbons so that it would escape an NC17 rating. Still, I undersatnd it may be released intact in Europe, where censors have a more sensible attitude towards sex.

    It's a shame that that had to be his last movie. Still, I'll allways remember him for 2001 and Clockwork Orange.

  15. So when's the open benchmark test taking place? on Mindcraft Posts Linux Hate Mail · · Score: 1

    On the Mindcraft site there is a mention that the open benchmark test will take place in the week of 14the June - last week. Has there been any mention of it anywhere? Anyone know anything?

    I think that the Linux community should be glad of this whole shebang. It has highlighted the areas where work is needed, provided us with quite a bit of publicity. It's also illustrated that the spouting off at the mouth by a few immature kiddies does nothing for the reputation of the Linux community as a whole. These stupid, purile flames (just like the ones sent to that Bryar journalist) do absolutely no good.

    I've been advocating Linux at my place of work for some time now, slowly chipping away at the prejudice. Recently in a discussion at work, talking to someone who I had finally convinced over several weeks to take Linux seriously, I found myself almost back to square one, because he associated me with these stupid little boys.

  16. Re:Why are they so fat?! on Linus @BALUG · · Score: 2

    It's almost impossible not to put on weight in the US. I moved here last october. I had weighed 70 Kg for the last 10 years, after eight months here I almost weigh 80 Kg (that's 176 Lbs on old money).

    The causes?

    • Not being able to walk anywhere, not even the shops. You just can't do it, distances are too far, pavements are few and far between, and people look at you as though you're a freak.
    • Humungous portions of food in the restaurants, really ridiculous. And the food isn't too healthy either, lot's and lot's of lovely fat. Try and order a salad just to be healthy - it arrives covered in dressing with enough fat and colesterol in it to sink a ship.
    • It's hot here (I live in Houston) so I need (oh yes, need) to drink lots of beer to stay cool.
    • Skinny people are hunted down and shot like dogs.

    I might not agree with everything Jon Katz writes but I certainly don't feel outraged or threatened in any way by it. I've got a lot of respect for the guy, he keeps sticking his neck out and people with seemingly nothing better to do slag him off.

    Did he do something to any of you personally to be treated so venomously? Shag your sisters and rape your mothers? Don't think so. I'm probably about as interested in your spoutings about the anti-christ-geek-wannabee that is J. Katz as you are in what I have to say. So don't read it.

    Anyway. on to more important stuff. Whats all this about an anti-vibrator law in Alabama? Now that sounds interesting.
