Meh that may be, but I fail to see how my post was off topic.
Dear mod, "I Disagree" != Off-Topic... If the content of posts for two generations has been GIMP, further discussing GIMP is quite on topic from a sane point of view.
I have just the minimum that I need to survive to be honest.
A bank account so that I can pay my rent, they refuse to take cash at the front office and the hell if I'm going to buy a money order every month. An apartment so as not to have to live in my car like I did when I was 19. Cheap internet access and a cell phone.
I fail to see how that makes me part of your definition of society and I think quite well thank you. Perhaps you should try doing it for yourself and see how things in this world look after?
So the bank that charged me over 250$ in overdraft fees for a 5$ overdraft from charge by a company I canceled my account with deserves my money? How about the water company that told me to stop paying them when my apartment lease switched over to a new management company then sent me a 900$ water bill a year later? The phone company in europe that charged me 125$ for 3 dialup porn calls at a time when i was living alone and didn't even have a modem in the computer I was using?
I think not.
I have about 4 more of these examples if you really think I should pay my "bills".
Sadly this is how it works in civil cases. I personally have been sued half a dozen times by various utility companies and banks.
Each time I didn't show up (mostly due to the fact that I don't recognize the court system as valid) I get a letter in the mail saying the judgment has been made in favor of whoever and that I lose. It doesn't seem to matter if I even knew about the case or not, not showing up means you forfeit.
I'd also like to say none of the companies have ever gotten a single dime from me for anything. Even tho the system is flawed and craptastic, it doesn't always win even when you do "lose".
I'm quite the fan of Linux myself and have been using it for years, but I fail to see how it's going to stop the NSA from spying on internet traffic...

Sorry friend, your first post was canceled.
Sadly my boss still types full site urls into the text input box on google... trying to convince him to use the address bar has repeatedly failed.

Thanks for your time.
Good luck accessing my encrypted hard drives on my Linux system.
I lock the fucker down everytime I leave the room with just a keypress.
Fuck the police.
I assume you're trying to tell us how much better Adobe Photobloat is than the GIMP?
Oh noes! Infected files on a Linux system! what ever will we do?!
Huh?
Napster Bad!!!!
Yes, they must be destroyed.
All of them. Viva La Penguin!
Simply refuse to not smile.
They can't stop us all. Fuck em.
Well it's a good thing that I don't have other binding set in place for those keys outside firefox... oh wait.

I don't care to goto court nor do I care to be a member of this society you speak of.
You're missing the point here quite badly it seems. The whole system is wrong and telling people they have to be involved in or lose is bullshit.
I'd like to see the employer who tried to fire me over bad credit.
Lucky for you nothing has ever happened in your life where either you or someone else fucked up causing financial troubles.
