Although it is about C++, mono, and java, you got C++ vs Java flame wars there too. I am very interesting for reading this topic. I read more than one hundred comments. Yeah, maybe it is because I have a depth interesting in programming. Well, the nice side of this story is I love both of them. I love programming in C++ and Java.
He he he he he, what's yours??? And why???
Hey, it's multiple choice.
Enjoy.......

While I can appreciate the passion people feel for this argument (read as: my girlfriend yells at me lots for this), I have yet to fully comprehend the rationale for their depth of displeasure...the paper still comes out regardless of orientation of roll, right? I could see if you were somehow being deprived of your god-given right to TP and had to resort to newspaper/carpet/microsoft-certification, but it does it really matter whether it comes off the front or back of the roll? Maybe I am just some kind of unenlightened heathen?

Well spoken, my heathen brother.
The peculiar thing about it is this....it's such a bizarre thing to be concerned about that once someone mentions it to you it stays in your head for life. As a result, i've made it a habit to cast my eyes away whenever I change the roll, just so its orientation will be completely random. This occasionally results in accidentally dropping the roll into the toilet, but at least I can say I'm no TP slave.
