yeah muddy the topic why dont you.

if you read the posts on the submission page, it rapidly "devolves" (get it) into a spirited converesation on eugenics, which i read till i could no longer view Nazi Hate Speech.

i didnt read, but am assuming there some lovely eugenics in the /. comments, but im too sicked and scared to find out .....

but seriously tho, how is microsoft able to hemorrhage this much money because of steve balmer being a stupid fucking gorilla instead of a CEO? there stocks are rock steady but little growth! what happens when all this money disappears? we will need to be ready to switch to linux/android type OS's quick

windows 8 is single handedly tanking the entire pc market. my wife just switched to linux mint, and she likes it okay.

my biggest interest in in steam-on-linux! are they going to have a full library?

this will put the windows gaming market in jeopardy.

will linux make things like masquerading as easy as windows Internet connection sharing?

i think that this community is a futuristic thing in a world where people have left behind these old misconceptions and work together for bother their own betterment, AND the betterment of the species.

im pretty sure the race of morlocks will disagree with this. and they have all the power

tribalism is quite disgusting on all levels. i think that its opposite counterpart might be called "community" where the members are all about helping each other, not purifying the herd, or backstabbing for rank positioning

good point. perhaps we come full circle to my original distaste for all religions. (if you dont consider buddhism a religion than it rings true)

thank you for some refreshing conversation

as to your last point, of tribe by tribe basis for judging, i partially disagree.

i guarantee with high probability that the majority of white christians you inspect will have any love for certain groups. lets just talk about the rights of mexicans to live in america without persecution or the rights of people in the middles east, especially israel.

their sickly sweet veneer rubs off rapidly

i used to believe that all ideologies deserved to live (as in the same vein as speicies deserve not to be extinct). then i realized that modern religion was quite degenerate in all its forms, quite rife with authoritarianism and fascist values, couched with the smooth creamy frosting of what small ethics remained in their holy books. ethics that are absolutely common sense, paired up with hateful, racist, sexist and anti-everyone values.

so now im anti-abrahamic, primarily. but there really arent any hindus around here to despise, and buddhists i think are actually correct.

ahh, a moralist, my favorite enemy. i would say the same, except i would switch how you use the terms.

i feel that ethics is a simple concept, given lip service by many religions around the world. the golden rule is a very easy version of ethics. you simply cannot hurt people. Morality, however, can also include things that are unethical like the persecution of people with alternative lifestyles, ethnicity, or ideology. Morality uses aspects of ethics to lend itself credence, but in actuality, american "Family Values" is a thinly veiled Neo-Fascist (or neo-nazi, supremacist) agenda.

I am a Libertarian Socialist, and i will always oppose the Moralists, the Capitalist Rationalists, and and other form of fascism.

you seem to use the words "morals" and "ethics" as though they were interchangeable

by arab aggression you mean when they invaded israel in 1948??

its the fact that there are dozens of games out there that are far above crap. and they are being released with directx and pandering into the microsoft monopoly. we need game developers and corporations to be willing to stand up to these contractual games and just release games with an opengl or many other graphics systems available.

then we can have the game on whatever the hack system or OS we feel like consuming them on

your not alone, brotha.

uh yes. we have had the ability to do something this evil for two decades.
