I sincerely hope you are inferring that there’s something very wrong with being gay. ;-)

The question is: Do you agree that Yahoo was wrong for helping send those Chinese dissidents to jail, supporting the government crackdown on those Chinese who want freedom?

I think you are afraid to answer the question directly.

Red Hat is to help the communist government of Kerala, in southwestern India, to deploy open-source software in its e-governance and literacy efforts.

BTW, Bill Gates was in India a while back, pushing his own software, and even giving out hundreds of millions of dollars. Microsoft called Kerala an important market and actively pushed Windows there, offering it to schools at a very deep discount. Red Hat is not allowed to do the same?

Trying to change the subject again of course. The obvious differeence is Gates didn’t selectively engage the communists like Stallman does. I’ve already posted links to recent videos of him in Cuba singing Guantanamerica but you’re of course still here defending that creep LOL.

Linux is a hobby, not an OS.

There are quite a few government departments that would disagree with you.

Yeah, like the governments of China, Cuba, Iran, and Vietnam which have all announced plans to standardize on it, you’re in great company huh.

Yeah. I work for one of them.

We use Linux as a novelty--to show that we aren't stodgey goobermint guys--that we are Hip! and Now! With the Dotcom Kids!

It doesn't really do anything, and it is a pain in the ass, but the name has cachet with the poseurs.

It's a hobby and a name-drop, not an OS.

^^^^^^^^^I don’t directly support any radical green party leftists but you clearly do.^^^^^^^^^^^^

Nope. I do not. They get exactly zero dollars directly from my pocket.

However, you give plenty of financial support to left wing causes unless you are a pirate. Are you pirating software over there?

^^^^^^^^^^^all he needs is blind disciples who want things for free above all else and you perfectly fit the mold.^^^^^^^^^^^

Nah. I want superior software.

Windows is too bossy.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^and no amount of vague generalities accusing others comes anywhere close.^^^^^^^^^^^

Nah. I’m being very specific here.

You financially support leftists in a major way by buying their softwares. I don’t.

After seeing the last few posts and how all of that has transpired, I can now fully appreciate the Bush administration’s position when it comes to dealing with the left wing media.

Answering questions with questions, half truths....... jeez.

I guess you realized that you are in complete agreement with Stallman on something and got stuck in dishonesty, that is unless you think it’s good that Yahoo is helping send dissidents to jail. You’ve already established the position that one is a leftist if he in any way agrees with Stallman on anything. Caught agreeing with him yourself, you’re only choice was to avoid the issue instead of honestly answering.

You dig your own holes.

The record is clear, I am far right and Stallman is far left, and you constantly defend him (and other leftists, criminals, atheists, socialists, communists, etc) and attack me instead. Great, you make a great overall example of why leftists love Linux.

Political ideology is like a circle, the what would have been opposites in a line meet at the far ends to find common ideological ground. That is why you are the one poster on FR who is most like Stallman.

I may be “far” right, by your leftist standards. But Stallman is “far” left, and where your heart obviously lies. Not forgetting all the other leftist causes you constantly support. Thanks again.

You agree with him on his stance against Yahoo vis China. You must obviously be far left too.
