Aol is worse. AOL is the enemy.

Learn it! Believe it! wake up in the night and wonder what you really beleive in.

If you think conservative and AOL, There is a disconnect that needs to be checked out.

This is a heck of a lot from a discussion over an ISP, isn't it?

[Incorrigible]

Oh yeah!  Let the evidence show:

Linus Torvalds was born and created Linux in Finland, a country quite soft on Socialism.

When Linus sought a symbol for his new creation, he reached back to the old USSR for inspiration.  The USSR took lots of US generated OS computer code and turned it into "Open Source".  Look closely at the pictures the people are holding in this poster of Stalin celebrating May Day:

If that isn't enough, look at the insignia on Chairman Mao's jacket!  Why the "open source" movement of western software continues to this day in China!

And, finally, Linus himself, wearing one of those oh-so-chic Che Guevara t-shirts!

Maybe you don't think open source is communist inspired, but the creators of open source certainly think so!

Do you wonder if Heaven has a ghetto?

[Incorrigible]

Yeah, yeah.  I still have your company's logo!

[rdb3]

I still have that!

Well, what are you waiting for? It's your move to start the game (I always play with the black, ya see).

;-)

Indeed, aol is a monstrous weapon of the liberals. I will never subscribe to it. I have also cancelled my subscription to msn.

I should no, for I am a recent product of this enviornment.

Well, obviously.

[PatrioticAmerican]

haha. You are incorrigible! Wait...you already knew that.

[dheretic]

Obviously you are not intelligent enough to actually look at the pictures closely. They're a very bad attempt at propaganda by Microsoft supporters (another batch of "communists"). That is no more of a picture of torvalds wearing a CheTee than the average picture found on a search for "Britney Spears f$%&ing" on Google is of Britney fornicating.

Oops. My gaffe! ;) In all seriousness, you need to come back with more than that to prove your point. A spelling or grammar error is not going to get you by so easily.

[AmericanCompatriot]

Pretty easy for you to exhort others to do what you're unwilling to do, yourself. No need for a reply. I have all the info I need.

Take the easy cop out, why don't you? People who attack character and not arguments are usually deficient in logic and reason. That's been my experience.

Surely, even you can see the logical disconnect in asking people to do something you won't do, yourself; otherwise known as "Do as I say, not as I do."

[Bush2000]

Obviously you are not intelligent enough to actually look at the pictures closely.

Hey, college boy, anybody who isn't wet behind the ears can see that Incorrigible's post was completely tongue-in-cheek. I'm not surprised that someone as devoid of humor and common sense as you would mistake his post for a serious diatribe against open source.

No. When it comes to self-preservation there is nothing of greater value, save the preservation of one's family. What good would I, or anyone, do behind bars if such a "movement" was ever necessary? What good is Trafficant to the people now that he has been jailed?

I understand where you are going with your statement, but it just doesn't make sense in the real world. It's great for a Hollywood Hero, but that's about it.

[Dec31,1999]

LoL! Is that where I was that night?

Except if you use 90 hours or more a month.
