- Agreed. Unix is technically superior to every operating system currently

- Marconi's patents were all revoked because he stole from other inventors like
- Nicola Tesla. And the Internet was started by the United States Department of
- Defense so that intelligence could still be spread in the event of nuclear war
- with Russia. Sounds like you are the "ignorant" one. Broad generalizations are
- another sign of not knowing a damn thing about what you are talking about and
- "ignorant americans" is about as broad as you can get. Especially when you
- consider that everyone from Albert Einstein and Nicola Tesla to the Wright
- brothers all had American Citizenship when they created their greatest master
- pieces. Lets not forget that Democracy didn't have a prayer until the US broke
- away from Britain and then we became the example for all the other countries
- that they too could have freedom.

- True. The "Patriot Movement" is about the only thing that shows remnants of the
- original America.

- So what. Like we give a shit. Are you really so stupid as to hold a grudge
- over something like this? . . .or to even think that most of the US citizens
- even know what the hell you are talking about?
-
- Keep in mind that the US is made up of people from all over the world. When you
- bash Americans in General you are also bashing every other culture on the
- planet. If you do not have the intelligence to give specifics about what you do
- and do not like then you are nothing more than a bigot.
