Sick people and people who suffer traumatic injuries are potential "freeloaders"? So in your world, the "good man" without insurance dies along the side of the road like a bloated raccoon? The person who is broken and mutilated by a hit-and-run, who doesn't have insurance, should just bleed out where they are and die? For if they don't, they are "freeloaders"? For your community's sake, I hope you aren't a first responder.

Microsoft can't do anything the hardware manufacturers don't sign off on. Microsoft doesn't run the world. If they have some hair-brained idea that gets enshrined in hardware, don't blame Microsoft... blame the hardware people. Don't buy their crap! There are many different processors and platforms that run modern operating systems. Tell Blizzard to port Diablo and Wow over, then wave farewell to Microsoft.

My Scotts-Irish mom would teach them how to mash balls and turn men into meek church mice.

Time for everyone in Australia to run a 24/7 web spider that surfs random sites.

It's a shame, but the folks at Firefox have gone off the rails in just about every way. First Gnome goes off the rails, now Firefox. We are living in troubled times my friends.

Good luck with that wigheads...
