And I'm getting sick of the younge sheep here who can't form their own opinion and only that of the drivel that spills from the mouth of those that bitch the loudest. The anti-Americanism is mostly only carried by the young street punks that live here. Anyone with half-a-brain and a little REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE knows that the US isn't what sensational media makes it out to be.
Sure, shit can be bad there, but tell me one place in the world that doesn't have it's problems. The real deal is the US exports a lot of news, not like any other country in the world. When something happens, there are news feeds all over the world about what's happening in and with the US. And we all know how media is, they focus on the things that bring viewership so they can get advertising dollars. And what gets the viewers attention the most? Morbid, sensational, bad news. What about the good news? Do you care to even look? Didn't think so.
Lest you forget what the US has done for others. Where would Europe be right now if it weren't for the US? How about the rest of the world about the decade ago when the only market that wasn't in stagnation was the US providing the only pull that brought any of the rest of the world out of their finacial slump? How about all those earthquake, flood, huricane, famine, epidemic, and repressed people that have gotten help from the generosity of the US?
When the US had it's massive flood, did it see on *bleep*ing cent from ANYONE?! Including Canada?
Put that in your peace pipe and smoke it. Hope it tastes good.
The US has massive problems. I'm a dually, I have an American parent, and I know my other home has problems. But the same is going on here. How about the RIAA in the US being mirrored right here. We were kinda lucky a fair use law was passed that made downloading kinda legal, but they are going after the uploaders and ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE LAW SO IT IS MORE FRIENDLY TO THEIR STYLE OF LAWSUITS. So don't be do freaking smug. Canada is doint the samething.
And to any other patriotic Canadian out there. Is it so easy to forget about the huge scandals going on here? Hmmmm? It seems to me the recent news seems to indicate corruption to the N'th degree going all the way to the top. Hmmm? Yeah, Canada is pure as the driven snow.
And I look, and I see, people are all the same everywhere. So he who is without sin, cast the first stone. Would that be the UK? Or Russia? Or France? Or Japan? Or South Africa? Or anywhere? Right. I dare you to speak up and to remove all doubt you are a fool.
Instead of pointing fingers, how about looking in mirrors.
And it seems to me Linux has suffered very little in this case as has gained/will gain much. So don't try to focus this into you hidden bitter agenda with the US from the truth that the trial is going quite well.
Think. There is no better advertisement than advertisement like this. I'm talking to people about Linux that wouldn't otherwise have a clue what a Linux was. People, who before, knew that I favored Linux but didn't even know that Linux was an operating system. But they are coming to me and telling me stuff I knew years ago like this is something I need to know. I love it.
And what about Groklaw? It was SCO BS that birthed it.
And what about giving Linux validity? We know SCO is full of it. This is going to prove that Linux is produce in good faith, and if there is copying, it is minimal and marginal.
And this is going to help protect Linux from future attacks by pointing weaknesses we need to fix, and to test the GPL in the US courts.
And anyone who has any incling to what is going on knows full well that the case is being deliberately stretched out by IBM to let SCO burn every bridge it has to an appeal when the will eventually lose.
It's not only SCO that's dragging this out, but someone who has a vested interest in seeing this through, completely, and thoroughly.
So piss off you trolls. When have something helpful and relevant to say, and when you've matured enough, poke your heads out of your holes and join the responisible part of humanity.
