This is the most ridiculous post I have ever read (and that is saying a lot for slashdot).

> Wife alleges you hit her? Off to jail, guilty until proven innocent buddy.

Unless she has marks, you aren't going to jail. If she has marks, yes you are. Guess what, you probably hit her.

> Wife alleges you molested the kids? Say goodbye to your kids forever, pal. Maybe if you're lucky we'll let you see them for a few hours once a month with a supervisor present.

Uh no. Only if there is evidence of such abuse. Which you would likely create by your own juvenile response that you just posted. Stop reading the mass media.

> Wife wants child support? We don't care that she's spending all the money on her new ex-con boyfriend's meth lab, you'll pay it or it's jail for you, sparky!

Yep, and your point? Prove it is for the meth lab, and get custody of the kids and have her have to pay you child support. All it takes is pictures, and maybe 1000.00 to a private detective.

> Wife is a drug addict who neglects the kids? Tough luck pal, she's still getting full custody over you. That's what you get for showing up to court with a penis.

Uh, no. Prove she is a drug addict. File a motion to compel for a drug test, offer to take one yourself. Be clean, have her not be clean. You will get the kids.

> Wife won't let YOU have the kids during your court-appointed custody days? File this paperwork. We'll look into it in about a year, if you're lucky.

Uhh I have personal experience with this. The "Wife" will get in a whole heap of trouble for this and it doesn't take a year. You file for a one hour hearing... the states do not screw around with this stuff anymore.

> You won't let HER have the kids during her court-appointed custody days? Freeze, motherfucker! Get you're hands on your head NOW! ON THE GROUND, ASSHOLE! DON'T MAKE ME SHOOT YOU!

Now this... although exaggerated can happen but, seriously if you are doing that, you deserve it.

Don't we want all of our code lean?

Yes,

Linux fans are for Innovation. That is why the most innovating distros have the mind share of the community. What you are dealing with here are people who are not the majority. Remember the 2% always whine the loudest.

It is a license. Free Software and Open Source both are derived from a simple idea, the code is free to reuse and distribute. The religiousity of the community is derived only from the community itself. Would it be nice if those projects were more community driven? Sure. Does it make them any less "Open" or "Free", no.

At stewarding its own resources, preferring instead to buy resources from other countries that do not have the level of regulation we have. We have plenty of oil, gas, rate earth metals etc... we just don't go after it.

Of course they picked it over yours. Yours is intelligently written and has an expectation that people will understand what you are talking about.

Unfortunately, this is Slashdot.

I am not rich but I do make more than 200k. You know why? I employ people and am an S-Corp. The current tax format in Washington is actually fair. I pay a % right off the top for the business. I don't pay off profit, I pay off GROSS!. An income tax on top of that would literally double my tax burden.

That is ridiculous.
