    Linux: A Europian Threat = My Ass!

    http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/...y-tristan.aspx

    Read, Discuss - what do you think about this bs article?
    I think that people COULD NOT get any DUMBER. This guy has posted a complete article about how Linux is a threat, with short-based facts that aren't even true. This guy should do some research... What gets me though ... Is that the admin of the website actually agreed with him, and then got found out to be hosting his site on a Linux server via nmap scan.

    lol?

    Don't worry about the people on the website, they certainly aren't for real.

    It is a kind of parody on what might happen when the most zealous right-wing slash conservative slash nationalistic slash christian fundamentalism meets open source technology and tries to combat it with the usual arsenal ( if it is open source it must be drugtaking liberal homosexual communism which we all know to be the worst evil of all time, etc., etc. ). See it as a farce on modern technology being reviewed emotionally without bothering to get a single fact straight.

    I can only guess that the person(s) responsible are disguising the non-seriousness of the content because no sane person could ever believe that another sane person would have opinions like this (like: I certainly don't want to side with those lunatics...)

    The scary part is, considering todays state of affairs in the world ... there just might be people who ARE buying these arguments.

    Come on, that's so over-the-top it can't be serious (and I'm sure it's not).

    You guys are taking this too seriously. It is definitly a joke. They also wrote an article on Firefox. It is absurd as everything else written on this website.

    Have a look: http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/...a-exposed.aspx

    Consider reading it in links or lynx... the dropping flags in javascript are a pain...

    I hope this is a joke!

    I can't believe somebody is stupid enough to write something like this.
