"Regurgitate?" I'm the author of it, you fool. It is a parody of this wingnut idiocy — and, I dare say, a far classier than the original for it uses no namecalling to get its point across.

As so often happens, an Illiberal fails to recognize his own... Yep, somebody here is "mentally handicapped".

Sitting causes hypertension, standing — thrombophlebitis. Whatever you do to a human being, he stubbornly crawls towards cemetery.

They're equally as egregious. If you have a license to do business with the public, you serve all the public. The only limits are those customers who are causing a disturbance to other customers. You can't single out swathes of the population because you don't understand the difference between making a cake for something and condoning that thing. "Participating in a gay wedding ceremony" by being miles away from it and unaware it is going on, save for a cake you cooked and were paid handsomely for? Give me a fucking break. Just because you can crowbar in some weasel words doesn't mean the two things are in any way different.

You are blaming people for espousing science because it makes some weak-minded fucktards abuse kids by filling their heads with nonsense. Why not blame the weak-minded fucktards?

Easy, APK. Ever notice how no one else engages in such behaviour?

You could feign indignance on Slashdot, or you could read for yourself. It's tough, I know.

Only because they refuse to do business with people based purely on bigotry. Kind of like how racists were hounded out of business when they too refused to do business with certain people. Ignoring that part kind of makes you sound like a vicious old fucker living in the past. That couldn't possibly be the case, right? :)

Which changes absolutely nothing. The software is still not available on Linux. Excuses are nice an' all, but change squat.

Linux hardware support has got a lot better, as has software, but to pretend for one instant it's comparable with Windows is lying to yourself.

Rural economies cannot support the nice houses, cars, jobs, shopping malls, and priviledge they see, and they feel left behind.

These same people also feel very intimidated by things they don't understand, and they don't understand much.

Thank you very much for this example of condescension. The way you dismiss over half the country — without, as is usual your kind, any attempts at citations — is really telling. Telling about you... At least, your erzats-deity managed to get some compassion into his condescension — you lack even that.

Me? I would take a country pumpkin over your kind of snobbish "I know, what's better for everybody else" asshole any day of the week. And twice on Shabbat.

It's a symbol of the red state/blue state divide. That's why you're sticking up for it, after all.

Oh, yes, a Ukrainian immigrant living in New Jersey is sticking for Confederate flag, because "he is left behind in a rural State". I've seen people making worse guesses than you just made — with all the aplomb customary to the above-mentioned snobbish assholes — but they are very rare indeed.

But, at least, even you admit, the flag is not "about slavery". I suppose, that's progress.

Because we know Alex Jones

• Q: What do Illiberals have other than ad hominem?
• A: Nothing.

Please, don't hate.

There are no such people in America too. Zero... Even the deranged killer of Charleston never said anything about restoring slavery.

The flag is dear to some people's hearts because it is a battle flag of their ancestors... I do not share the sentiment for this particular flag, but I understand it. And you better understand it too — for the healing to begin.

Even if those perceptions are wrong?

Yes, even if people hold a wrong opinion about you, you still can not force them to change it.

The reason it might be a good idea to allow these to expire from search engines

There is no difference in principle between forcing a search engine to remove a record, and forcing a human being to undergo a memory-erasing procedure. Any and all arguments for the latter will also apply for the former.

Previously, this sort of offense would only be known to you if you personally knew someone who knew the individual.

Or if you paid somebody to dig up dirt on whoever. What used to be available to the rich, is now more egalitarian. Congratulations...

On this 4th of July, the day when Americans flock to their grills and smokers

That's it? Seriously? Rather depressing...
