I'd like to add my name to this. I'm a Christian, but I think I'm going to have to change the term to "Jesus-follower" or something similar because the term "Christian" is rapidly coming to mean someone associated with lunacy like this.
I too am profoundly sorry.
Oh, by the way, no we don't all believe that the Bible is irrevocable fact.
Why should you release something in country X first just because you're located there. I would think they'd make decisions based on what would get them the most money, not based on something arbitrary like "where we're located."
I don't really know much about the workings of Linux (but don't talk down to me and rest assured that I know what is being discussed here.) Could someone please explain to me why a consistent binary driver API would lead to a lack of stability?
Windows XP's window manager works well for me when using two screens. I really have no idea what you're talking about with regards to maximizing over two screens. You probably have something configured wrong.
Although I'm not racist and I don't agree with any of these stereotypes, that was REALLY funny. And I'm not going to let political correctness get in the way of me saying: Mod parent up.
Are you sure beta particles aren't electrons? I don't really know much about this stuff, and I'm still in high school, but my chemistry textbook seems to disagree with you.
Although many United States citizens are dumbasses like he is, please do not take him, George Bush, or any similar fucktard as evidence that all of us are stupid. Really, we're not.
I suppose anything's better than IE, but why not go with the more popular (and probably better, but I haven't tried netscape lately) Firefox or the more advanced (and now gratis) Opera?
Note that Old Europe was starkly divided on class lines, and life generally sucked for all but the top echelon of society.
I don't know anything about Ancient Ireland, but did you notice that it isn't around anymore?
The rest of your examples are specific problems with a particular government. It doesn't mean that all states are evil, or that it is bad as a concept.
Also, why do you have the right to your property. Any inherent reason? I'm sure most communists would disagree.
Anyway, you agree to our laws by living here. If you don't like it, leave, is a very valid sentiment. The only reason it wouldn't be is if this was some sort of state that prevented people from leaving.
I imagine that you're pretty well-to-do, or, if not, at least middle class.
Remember that you don't have a god-given right to your social status. The guy living in a cardboard box 15 miles downtown from you sure feels different, I'm sure.
Anyway, we need roads, safe water, etc. What you describe is not at all how America works today. But if you don't like it, leave.

Do you mind explaining why it's stupid?

You sound like a Gentoo user. I'm not trying to insult you in any way. I just think you sound like a Gentoo user.
Lo and behold, I was right!

Just out of curiosity:
Do you use Gentoo?
Ah, sorry, I seem to have missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.

To whoever modded me flamebait:
Try to learn how to laugh at things. Laugh at Whites. Laugh at Blacks. Laugh at Americans. Your life will be a lot more fun.
As an intersting aside, I have no doubt that this would be +5 funny if it was making fun of Americans, Irish, or Whites in general.

I'm not against swearing or foul language in any way but it sounds REALLY stupid when you use it that much.

Oh really, Mr. 772434?
You could back up your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette.
You're the biggest joke of the internet.
My grandparent poster is an idiot.

Dude... why are you a vegetarian?
Please, tell me, so I can change your mind. Nothing saddens me more than someone fallen to vegetarianism...
Ah, I understand now. Thanks for clearing that up :-)
If it's something Bush said, shouldn't there be quotes?
Bah, why mod them down? I find these GNAA thingsrather funny, actually.
I suppose anything's better than IE, but why not go with the more popular (and probably better, but I haven't tried netscape lately) Firefox or the more advanced (and now gratis) Opera?
I think my sig will suffice here :-)
Then how do you explain the word "flawed" which seems to be the past participle of "flaw"?
x is flawed.
I'm too tired to argue with you.
Yes, I will FULLY agree that from an ivory tower perspective, libertarianism is the best.
But in the real world, we have practical concerns.
Again, although I could respond to all your points (except the last one, which was very good), I am much too tired. Goodnight.

Wow.
A Slashdot admin-on-high is responding to a direct concern from a mere peon! This almost never happens.
Thank you ScuttleMonkey, and may all slashdot admins be like this from now until eternity.
Put down the libertarian peace pipe for a second.
