when the F! is this going to end?

all that is happening here is an exchange of stereotype opinions about
the matter. nothing new, nothing original, nothing is going to come
out of this, all this has been discussed already on numerous sites (
slashdot, digg, wherever ).

your opinion is useless to freebsd-questions. please go annoy your
relatives and friends.

furthermore, you are extremely short sighted. are you aware rice was
dumped in some African countries which ruined their local rice
farmers? ever heard of "learned helplessness"? ever considered that
not all children in 3rd world countries starve to death?

if anyone wants to ramble on, please do so on the chat list. or bugger
of to digg.

pardon my french,

usleep

PS: you should be ashamed of yourself regarding your statement about
the toilet paper.
