I think Mike is way out of line here. Debian should have
never gotten into the baby business in the first place. If
you think naming a distribution is a headache, try naming a
baby! Its especially difficult in cross-cultural marriages
(like mine). My wife is pregnant (again) and this time its
my turn to come up with a name.
Seriously though. It amazes me how people emmigrate to the
US, improve their quality of life 1000 fold, only to spout
off BS like this guy. I think we should bounce Mike off the
list -- this mister "user-vote-boy". If you're so "pleased"
then why don't you take your show on the road? Huh, Mike?
As a matter of fact, do you even have any children of your
own? Who the heck are you to give us comments like the
above, based soley on you own "pleasantness"? I love my
country (America) and definitely believe in freedom of
speach, advertising, commercialism, capitolism, copyrights,
patents, and all of the things that make America great. But
I draw the line here.
I think we should:
1) Get off Bruce's back -- I certainly don't always agree
with him (or any one person), but having a baby will provide
him and Valerie with a hell of a tax break.
2) Inform Dave that "anarchy" went out with "Punk Rock" in
the 80's (and was only then popular with European teens.)
3) Buy a CD from Paul, who (like too many of my _real_
countrymen), thinks Debian (or someone) owes him a living.
4) Make more babies -- its a lot more fun than downloading
megabytes of nonsense from unnamed idividuals (Mike) about
things that do nothing bad, and have the potential to do
enourmous good (like having babies, getting tax write offs,
etc.)
In the future, Mike "user-vote" Hill, try to keep the
language civil, lest I get all riled up and give you a
serious taunting! ;-)
Sheesh!
