    I think that you over estimate the willingness of US soldiers to fire on "friendly" units (i.e. civilians). The officers that I know would resign their commissions before ever doing such a thing. We cant control spin about collateral damage in Iraq, how in the world do you think it would play if it was Boston?

    Why is it that the unborn are deprived of life without due process?

    Because our Lord Jesus Christ says so? If you would actually read the book that you are sitting on, you would see that Jesus is even past pro-choice in His views of this matter.

  8. Re:Vista/Mohave Remix on Developers Will Get Windows 7 Alpha On Oct. 28 · · Score: 1

    The Vista codeline is what Windows 2008 is built on (it is Vista SP1 with additional server-orientated stuff). The Windows 7 codebase is built on top of this.

    And though I wont look it up, the fact that Vista needed a patch for a 3.1 bug with image handling tells me that they have actually never changed anything. And so you pay good money for 1990's technology. I make my kip as a .NET programmer, but I would never pay for the pain that is Vista or 7, and my organization is sticking with XP come hell or high water. Scares me for the long run though.

To put it bluntly there are way too many Darwin is "TRUTH" scientists out there that have never bothered to actually *read* The Origin of Species. It *has* become a religion for many with all the hallmarks of one. One of the dumbest things being done these days is allowing science as a whole to get into this position.

    Normally I don't reply to this kind of philosophical mess, but you seem to be young and impressionable.

    It is a themed Distro? Great, one more reason to ignore it on Distrowatch. Ooohhh... why isn't the Hello Kitty Distro there? People actively gripe about *actual* distros that are different because of compiler issues on different Archs on different chips on different chipsets, and even they don't make the grade.

    I know he is not a Satanist because he never claims such. I would bet if he was making Ubuntu-Bhudda and got this kind of treatment he would (rightly) scream his lungs out. Besides, his responses on his own site were more about censorism then religious persecution.

    Besides, 99.9% of the people who call themselves "Christian" aren't Christian either, they just use the name.

    I can make up 99.9% of facts too

    DistroWatch can do whatever they want. But if they start deciding what's a valid religion or cause and what is not, they are losing credibility..

    No, they decided who was an asshole for publicity and who wasn't.



    This really isn't a religious thing. I could make a UbuntuOvens distro where my themes was Auschwitz pics of Jews in line for the showers. Guess what, I would be an asshole. And it would have nothing to do with being a Jew if I hated it or thought it was stupid. Worse, me screaming "MY RIGHTS!" means nothing on a private forum.



    I will go off board here and say the the brand of modern Solipsism and Hedonism that modern Satanism seems to think they have inherited from Anton "Lion tamer" Lavey makes them holy instead of the pretenders that they are. If you want the Name, earn it.


    And if you want to stray into real Theology, be my guest. My Sig should give you caution though.
