Ah jeez deFaria:
That's clever! Did you come up with that all by your lonesome?
As an atheist I always wonder why christians can "turn the other
cheek" but cannot seem to muster how to turn their eyes away!
As a thinking man, I always wonder why atheists:
1. Hate Christianity, yet harbor no such hatred towards all the other
religions.
I said not such thing. I think all religions are equally ridiculous! But
if you wish to partake in the fantasy then by all means do.
2. Would squeal bloody murder if fortune spit out Bible verses, yet
are *proponents* of having it spit out outrageously profane limericks
which are offensive to Christians, Jews, Muslims, Atheists, Men,
Women, Children, Mothers, Fathers, Bosses, Frenchmen, and all breeds
of dog in between.
I wouldn't squeal bloody murder. I'd simply say it's stupid. Fortune
already spits out a number of stupid things as well as some quite funny
things.
If you don't like it then what stops you from simply not looking at
it! Is something forcing you to use fortune or Cygwin or open and
look at the contents of that file?!?
Is something telling me that fortune is loaded with material
completely inappropriate for work environments, material which could
conceivably even directly result in "harassment" claims? Answer there
is "no" my friend.
Only if you'd claim harassment on yourself. To me anybody poking into my
machine deserves what they find.
[x] Because of the hub bub raised by the religious folk I had to
download and check it out whereas if they just ignored it so would
have I, proofing, once again, that by doing this they just draw more
attention to it and cause more harm than good.
Ok, so you have actually been harmed by this.
Whoever said that?!?
While I haven't, I can certainly agree with you that this profanity
needs excision post haste.
Then you don't agree with me because I don't think it need excision.
Oh and this randomly chosen signature is appropo!
