Dude
your are really mad, and need to cool off. It's not that big a
deal. Look at how many people are actually taking part in the
thread.
If people objected that much to it, I don't think they would be
activelyparticipating.
For some of us, it actually costs money to d/load this crud, for
instance, where I am (rural remote in Oz for example) there are no
local ISP's, my nearest is an STD call away & they charge $3.79 an hour
for access, so I need to be in & out as quickly as possible. Ax
aresult, I'm very picky about what I subscribe too. I did *not*
subscribe to Classic Computers for this sort of patriotic nationalistic
US rubbish that has developed in this particular thread.

You are responding quite late in this thread. If you are so opposed to
it, why are you propogating it so late in the cycle?
Your line, "patriotic nationalistic US rubbish that has developed in
this particular thread" is exactly what I was talking about in another
post. It seems to me that the US is singled out quite a bit as being
somehow bad, and offensive. Do you people think so ill of your own
countries that you have to verbally attack another?

To flog a dead horse and cause inevitable prolongation of this nonsense...
Chad, you are actually really out of touch with the prevailing sentiment
towards the US around the world.

You're right, we should pick on every country evenly, just to please
the anarchists and libertarians.

And I can add (by experience) that Iceland sucks even more.

Why, I own and maintain five Icelandic purebred sheep,
the cutest little Viking sheep you ever did see, big round
horns, shaggy wool, etc. Twin lambs this spring and
everything.
And there's a map of Iceland (in Icelandic) on my office
reception wall. What, you don't like the cold and dark?
CNN.com says the flyers are coming home, all because
they said they were very sorry about the law of gravity, etc.
