I think what you mean to say is "I don't know, I cannot convey my position logically because there is no method to do so." But then again I'm asking for honesty from the intellectually dishonest.
What you see around you, and what you hear isn't exactly what it looks or sounds like. Your senses can only interpert limited ranges of light and sound. Largly, your brain simulates the objects that it can percieve around it into coherent elements through which you learn to navigate your physical body. In this context, imagined elements' existance is not necessarily percievable as different from real ones. As evidence of this I submit to you that human beings hallucinate. I can imagine, if your cognitive ability had piss poor training with discerning reality from fairy tales (and lets face it, in most cases around us this is deliberate), that you could float through life living in some sort of dreamland that doesn't actually have any form outside the human mind.
Such is human nature. It is the echo of the primal intellectual notions of our ancestors. Further evidence of our evolution and origin. Instead of spending life trying to change minds that cannot change, I figure spend it on what I can. Good food. Warm space. Plenty of booze. Someone to share. I don't think I'll get another shot at this, so why waste the time?
I've said it on here before, personlly observing people who are asking this particular question is analogous to what I observe when a dog chaises its own tail. A lot of energy is expanded but nothing is really achieved but some form of mental masturbation. I can only come to the consensus that this question is completely irrelevant.
Ok, perhaps not you... I may have read you wrong. But the answer is the same. There are enough people who truly wish to dehumanize others. Skin colour is just another vector for them.
There is nothing to debate. Your assertions are asinine. They are in there because people, like you, feel like they belong there. The rest of us don't have your fucked up world view.
To the oens who hit the 'overrated'.. Exactly what is overrated here? It's a direct counter example of the premise stated, thus completely relevant to the point made. Might it be because you don't like that there is a counter example in the first place, and instead of acknoledging it you want the rest of us to stick our head in the ground just like you?
Most people are actually clueless as to how all of this works together. They never bought the lego set you and I play with on a regular basis. As such, it actually comes down to the defaults. Do the defaults help or hinder individuals? Probably hinder. One way to look at it is this: does anyone tell "I'm so and so and I'm in your store" to the staff? This is a trick to get you to speak when you were not going to through your device.
While I cannot say I'm educated on the subject of gene splicing and recombining for the "benefit of man kind" (read: profit)... I can't say I'm too surprized. Have we yet discovered whether virii (or viruses w/e) evolved before/after/along cellular life? Can we rule out its not random broken peices of machinary that just happens to sequence for replication? All I'm saying is that this is experimental. We do not have the answers to these questions. We still need to keep probing to know anything for sure.
Cat got your tongue? (something important seems to be missing from your comment... like the body or the subject!)
Honestly, slashdot.. fuck you. I'm not old, but too old for this shit. Yeah I missed the fucking subject. Just say "error" and highlight the fucking field (like the rest of the world).
I would love to get a bit more on this... What did you find *not* working... I'm actually looking for a replacement for Ubuntu. Been through slackware and gentoo.. I'm honestly leaning towards gentoo again. (I've asked this before, the general scense I get is that Debian is up to it, but would love as many second opinions as possible (don't wanna compile).)
This is not a "misguided attempt at appeasing stalman", it's the realization that there is a limit to how much you can fuck with another human being's ability to not become a criminal for no other reason than a stupid technicality, and it's the refusal to do so when given the opportunity. Imagine... there are people out there that are NOT out to fuck you over... what a concept.
Pick a name and run with it. Honestly... really stupid question when the answer is "any fucking thing you like". May I refer you to the concept of "Liberty"?
The real issue is pretending that facebook (and the like) matters to an OS. If you take that away, what are the chances that this retardeness would manifest itself?
"The LTTE was responsible for a 1998 attack on the Buddhist shrine and UNESCO world heritage site Sri Dalada Maligawa in Kandy that killed eight worshipers. The attack was symbolic in that the shrine, which houses a sacred tooth of the Buddha, is the holiest Buddhist shrine in Sri Lanka."

I did not say he was. I asked what was destroyed in his name. People do things in the name of 'X' without knowing what 'X' is all the time. As per your assertion that it is not a religion...

It's not as catchy.

And how was that?
How?

Sounds like you haven't an actual clue as to what professionals use.
Ok, perhaps not you... I may have read you wrong. But the answer is the same. There are enough people who truly wish to dehumanize others. Skin colour is just another vector for them.

Which one usually depends on the situation too. There isn't really a "one true way".

Who's mad? I was just confused. Maybe the joke isn't that great?

We would, but your bladder is the size of a thimble. Best we could master is stepping on a drop here and there. Good luck though!

Just do it. You will thank yourself in the end. Ubuntu = Dodo
