Wtf?!


I read a bunch of threads and it seems to me this board is more about bashing the U.S. than Linux. I'd like to know why so many people, who don't live here, believe they have all the answers for our problems, blame us for theirs, and yet can't even begin to help themselves without U.S. aid.

I am a Canadian.

Ahh, I see. I think your problem lies with the kernel.



Cool

Reasons I closed this thread:

1. Title tells us nothing of what the thread is about. Use better and more helpful thread titles in the future.
2. Wrong forum, as you posted in a Linux General forum and I don't see any questions being asked regarding Linux.
3. Your subject is only going to stir trouble among those who post bashing type threads, so closing it now and dropping the subject will prevent others from causing another bashing thread that we don't necessarily need.

Regards.

A 'bunch of threads' (2 or 3 a week?) by a minority of trolls (perhaps a dozen, and there are thousands of members here at LQ) do not reflect the membership as a whole.

<edit>
I just looked it up and there are 200 new threads per day and well over a thousand posts per day here at LQ
