Is there a point here you are trying to make?

But the unwritten point is that you need a life.

The US doesn't even own the US. The UK, Saudi Arabia, Dubai and China do.

You obviously know nothing about either.

Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan: lost wars by the USA. Europe isn't a
warring nation like the USA. In short, Europe is civilized and most of
the USA is not.

Examples:

The USA and China have the highest percentage of prisoners in the world.

The USA, China and Iran have the most executions on the planet.

The USA tortures prisoners and holds people without charge indefinitely.

Have you read the "Patriot Act"?

Need I go on?

Not bullshit but it's expected that you would be clueless.

Um, dumb ****, it's a *global* recession and some countries are in a
depression. That said, the recession in Spain not only started later
than the USA but most of the banks here are unaffected and those that
are have ties to the sleazy banks in the USA. We don't have former
middle class families living in tents like in the USA and we don't have
1.5 MILLION children living in the streets like in the USA. Not only
that, we don't have Mexican narco gangs killing people on the US/Mex
border. You live in San Diego so you should worry more about yourself
than what's happening in Spain, a place you are too CHICKEN **** to make
good on your EMPTY threats.

Now, why don't you be a good little troll and **** off?

Maybe Spain doesn't have the same problems as the USA but Spain does have a
big problem with some dipshit stealing money from little old ladies by
selling them FREE copies of that INFERIOR OS Ubuntu. Ubuntu was written by
geeks for geeks who can't get laid.

Imagine, a FREE OS that NOBODY wants. Ubuntu has been around for years and
still is on less than one percent of the desktop.

A lie. I have installed Ubuntu on ONE little old lady's computer and
that was three years ago and she is very happy with it. I charged her
for the install and support, not for the OS but that won't stop you from
posting this sleazy lie again, now will it?

A lie.

So what? Less than one percent thought that the world was round way back
when. Less than 1% thought that all hell would break loose in the
economy. The majority is usually wrong, asshole.

P.S. Just got another computer today that has Vista on it that will be
NUKED and replaced by Ubuntu.

Hey Franky, have you checked a comparison of the declining value of
the US dollar vs other currencies? Nope... didn't think so.

Sorry, Born Dead, I don't swing that way. Besides, you know your Mom
won't let anyone else move into her house. She's desperate enough to
get you to move out.
