All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
Who stands behind the terrorists of September 11?
voidmain:
Why is it that everything has to turn into a slam on the USA? It's really starting to get under my skin. I am from the USA. I am proud to be from the USA. I have lived and spent much time in many other countries although I was born and raised in the USA.
I do not look down upon anyone from any other country. I do not criticize anyone for being from another country. I certainly am not proud of Bill Gates or Microsoft, in fact I am totally against them. But, Microsoft is not the USA, they just happen to reside in the USA. They could have just as easily been from the UK, or Germany, or Canada, or ...
Now, could we keep the anti USA remarks out of this anti M$ site so we can band together in the common goal of eradicating Microsoft? There are plenty of other sites for political discussion...
Now I don't mean to piss anyone off and I thank you for your consideration.
Calum:
voidmain you must have a guilty conscience or something. and i do not say this in any way to piss you off. I did not make any anti USA remarks. The USA has always stood for the whole bootboy becomes president thing. The states are built on that sense of altruistic capitalism, and after hundreds of years that type of society happens to breed people like bill gates. it is a sociological observation and in no way a slam on the states. At least that was not in any way the way i intended it.
voidmain:
Well, I certainly don't want to sound like a whiner but when I read that stuff I see it as a slam, since many people are into slamming the USA lately. I am sorry if I read it wrong. And I'll stop whining, but I would prefer to not see Bill Gates/Microsoft, and the USA in the same sentence. M$ does not discriminate based on nationality when they suck people dry.
Bazoukas:
I would also like to know about the Date, Place, people, involved in your "true story".
As a prior cognitive psychology major I will argue that your "true story" is flawed.
Visual Supresion (you might call it) doesnt work that way. No doubt shock is a factor in your "true story", but there is a mechanism called rationalization, which doesnt work against us all the time.
And by the way, that Web site is way out there.
I have no doubt that each goverment has its own dirty little secrets, but that web site is 9 warps ahead of Star Treak.
And saying that the US planed that attack is just plain stupid. Bill Gates was behind this attack, to protect his company (if i read it right). OOOOoooooooooook!!!
And as VoidMan said, enough with the AntiAmericanism. Most isms out there are for morons. I will agree with Calum when he says that America has the "bootboy becomes president thing" but this whole nation has produced so many socialogical/technological wonders because of that.Its no wonder why all around the world when it comes into describing an American they all say "Those crazy Americans".
I dont think Calum though was making bad remarks about the USA in general. I think what he ment to say is that because of this bootboy attitude morons sometimes get lucky.
And am not saying USA is the start and end of all Civilizations. But generalizing is so easy for people and people are lazy by nature.
Bill Gates just got fuking lucky and on top of that he is smart enough to take advantage of his luck.
And if you brake it down ideologicaly, according to the American Ideals, Bill Gates is like Stalin.
Each country can be the content of bad jokes and bad remarks, but as I said again in another post, there is so much good going around the world but WE dont wanna see it. Its how we wired ourselves through the eons.
And no am not a treehuger. Infact After I graduate I am seriously thinking of going in the US-Military.
Anyway that was my 2 worthless cents.
Lets all hug now am buying Ouzo. :D

It is not against Americans - it is against the man who drives them down.
Look at a version of the industry development without Bill Gates (from the beginning):
Bill Gates didn't create DOS. There was a better alternative to DOS but it was not ready to the prime time. So, without Bill Gates IBM would take DOS or a better version but it would happen a bit later than Bill Gates stole DOS. Then IBM would go to antitrust, and Dell, Gateway and others would develop much better than now. If Apple for a long period of time had 100% opportunities be a super-monopoly during Bill Gates existence but he did not use its chances - what the difference is there Bill Gates or not? Apple won't be a super-monopoly anyway. What we missed?
Thus, Microsoft has engaged super-monopolistic practices that grew into its super-monopoly. Building of super-monopoly only on the first stage looks as healthy competition but the reality it is always the same from the first stage - it is building a super-monopoly. Please, do not use wrong words to describe it. (or you can explain why IBM, AT&T etc. were broken by antitrust law, and only Microsoft is going to get only a minor slap?)
Can you tell me what Bill Gates invented for his entire carrier? Excellent money-draining business gang? Or DOJ/public cheating machine?
There is conspiracy (by facts). There are reasons to say that huge companies involved ...
For instance, terrorists "hated" the U.S. so much that they chose to spread Anthrax, which could contaminate nobody (!) except a person who came in direct contact with it. But Anthrax (it was made in the U.S.) caused production of an enormous amount of Cipro (antibiotics). Did Bill Gates invest money in the pharmaceutical industry?
