in a last-ditch effort to save the thread I dug up a personal favorite troll of mine
"BOYCOTT MANDRAKE (Important):"
Dear fellow patriots: It is with great urgency and sincerity that I bring to your attention the Mandrake Boycott. [boycott-mandrake.com]
You may not be aware that Mandrake Linux is a French product. Indeed, you would never know because of their shallow attempts to conceal this fact. But a simple trip to the whois database [whois.com] can reveal the truth. Now, you and I would never spend our American dollars on French wine, and we would certainly never travel there. So, why should we support a French company? We shouldn't.
While talking out of one side of their mouth about peace and security, the French have been actively engaged with terrorist groups and terrorist nations to sabotage our efforts to secure our future. You can read about this here [arabicnews.com] and here [france-iran.net]. The French have stabbed us in the back repeatedly and, driven by their jealousy of our great Nation, they have exposed themselves as the traitorus liars that we have always suspected. It is also widely known that Jacques Chirac was an active supporter and business partner of Saddam Hussein. This is well documented; you can learn more here [vietpage.com] and here [indusbusinessjournal.com].
The French are having a very difficult time because they are long past their colonial greatness and have descended to a chaotic socialist society of laziness and ineptitude. Rather than realistically assess their own blame and work to restore their own status, they seek to bring us down. They lash out at the great nations who now lead the world community. The French are a shallow people who resent with great bitterness those who saved them. In WW1 and WW2 we rescued the French after they surrended and allowed them to preserve their way of life. But who can forget that the French jeered and spit on our liberating forces, before the final shot had even been fired? For more information check here [wwiionline.com] or here [worldnetdaily.com].
We must now teach the French a lesson, and it is for their own good. They should not bite the hand that saves them, for soon we may decide they are not worth saving anymore. Therefore I urge you to boycott Mandrake Linux. Of course it would not be American for me to tell you what to do. If you must use Mandrake, then use it. Simply do not pay for it.
Now that I have your attention, I would like to discuss the larger issue of Linux in general. It is time for us, fellow patriots, to look at our situation in the world on a global scale. Microsoft is an American company. Bill Gates started with nothing and built an empire. What is the problem here? We should be supporting American enterprise, not undermining it. The simple fact is that no true partiot would use Linux at all. In these hard times we must rally around our companies, our economy, and our president. If we let the 'Linux Community' have their way, we will all be at the mercy of the Germans making KDE, or the Japanese with their desktop. Do you plan to learn Japanese in the near future? You may have to, if we don't start poneying up to the bar and laying it down for our cause...
Thank you for your attention. I trust I have reached you with this message, and we all look forward to a world united under the flag of Freedom, Democracy, and the American Way.
A favorite troll of mine. that I see on stashdot every time there is news about Mandrake linux
