I just want to what he was disputing in the original poster's version.
Again, please point out what I'm being ignorant about, I'd really like
to know.
Or is asking someone to explain their statement ignorance? I forget how
readily you Europeans like to believe anything at all that you're told
so maybe that is ignorance.

Drink bitter. Lager is not beer! Amongst other things, it is flashed
cooled to a temperature where your taste-buds are no longer effective
(deliberately, because it tastes very bad), it is pasteurised, thus
removing much of the flavour it might have had, and it is carbonated,
thus making it unpleasant to drink, causing the stomach to bloat, and
giving a 'full' feeling.
Real bitter (not the 'smoothflow/creamflow rubbish, which is like
lager only nitrogen injected rather than carbon dioxide - same as
guiness, btw), that is.
Lager is the Microsoft of the beer world. Over hyped, over sold,
cheap to make, presented as a 'high quality product' to an unsuspecting
marketplace.

what you're hinting at here is:

a point with which i agree.
thus:

After all, that's how MS got its near-monopoly in the first place.

The under-21 laws don't work. They never have and they never will.
Punish the drunk driving... not the people drinking a few beers.
This is the type of hypocrisy that pisses me off about conservatives,
they screech and screech about freedom... but it's only their freedom
they're talking about. Remember when Bush called Dukakis a
"card-carrying member of the ACLU"?
So we all know that conservatives don't care about "freedom" anymore
than liberals.

Sony playstation PS2 costs less than that, and plays to a TV screen
properly. Cold hard fact. And you can play games on it (hey, just
like XP, only *much* cheaper).
Linux has DVD support for several drives, details are in the HOWTO.
This has been available since before XP had a day one.
XP - there must be mileage there. For the user, it's eXtra Pricey,
for Microsoft it's eXtra Profits, as a server, eXtra Pathetic, as
a serious desktop, well, it's not, it's really an eXtreme Playtoy.
For all except Microsoft, an unpleasant eXPerience.
Anyone help here, or has it all been done before?

I've had a look through it, and it dismisses alot of the
psuedo-generalisation facts Aaron tries to use to push his agenda on
other people.
such as "Over 95% of all cases and 95% of AIDS deaths occur in the
developing world, mostly among young adults and increasingly in women."
also:
http://www.unaids.org/epidemic_update/report/Epi_report.htm
is quite indepth, regarding AIDS/HIV in the developed and undeveloped
countries.

I've noticed that US-bashers generally announce killfiling when they
have their asses handed to them.
Personally I usually don't announce a plonk and find it odd that people
do. The people in my killfile go in without their knowledge... just
because they're usually not worth speaking too.
Don't worry Steve, in about a month Matty will be flaming you again...
because he just can't stand that you may be disagreeing with him and he
won't know it. I know these people.
