I love it when Americans think their country is the most free and hot shit country on the planet. And then find out it isn't.

Maybe if you didn't harbor illusions about the "highest possible standard" in your leadership, you'd be able to elect people who weren't total douches in the employ of corporations. It's so easy to reject a good candidate just because he once cheated on his wife, or shoplifted when he was 8. But that just leads to some rich douchebag who can afford to hide his mistakes to get elected with the full intention of fucking you over.

I'm not falling for your South Park defense. I know you're a peaceloving hippie that secretly wants the rednecks to stomp all the "bad" stuff in the world for you, while you sit at home smuggly smelling your own farts.

Speaking of the CIA connection.. maybe Assange is not so afraid of legal extradition, but something else: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_rendition#Sweden

What goes around in high-school, comes around in later life. Homecoming queen is a boothbabe for the class geek and the captain of the football team is pumping his gas.

Not to mention the occasional cameos as a robotic destroyer of small Colorado towns.

You mean advances in design.. the technology innovations weren't his, he just took them to the next level of usability. Something which I aspire to somewhat in my own line of work. So I didn't appreciate a lot of the things Apple did and don't own the toys (because that's what they are), but I don't deny what they did to the field of personal computing.

RIP Jobs.. enter greedy corporate bastards carving Apple's carcass into their own personal empires.

I think you're right, with that name they should've tagged it as a porn movie.

I think this proves what my personal experience is.. that there's a lot of good in Linux for the end-user, especially in Ubuntu. But there are SERIOUS gaps in drivers & usability sometimes. It's a better effort from a community than I thought possible some years ago, but amount of work to keep all drivers up-to-date is just too much. Windows wins by virtue of all companies automatically developing drivers for it.. so whenever some driver doesnt work, it's the vendor, not M$ that gets the blame. But with linux driver handling is so integrated into the system most users (like my wife) just go "linux sucks" when something doesnt work. This is just my opinion and doesnt need to be followed by posts asking "So what exactly doesnt work?" and "You're wrong, all you need to do is configure doohickey1 by using nageesh3.8, which you can get with the command...."

While you're probably a troll, i'll take your bait:

Not every church has this problem, because not every church expects celibacy from their priests. For example: Lutheran (protestant) clergy are allowed to marry, thus have no need to get their rocks off prison style.

I can see Bill being more popular than the pope, atleast he just screws his mainly adult customers, while the catholics are known for their penchant for the underage demographic.

The same way having sex with a willing female is a crime in sweden.

In Finland we have a long running joke about all swedes being gay.. I now see why they would be.

"The truth is out there"

That's a patent lie. The old swings, sandboxes and merry-go-rounds were put there by God to test our faith.
