Balt: Don't mistake standing up for what one believes in as an inability to bear criticism. >>>I AM NOT A COMMUNIST!! <<< Funny thing is I never said you were, you kinda' took this on all by yourself. Your messages portray an individual who is genuinely confused as to what he believes. >>>Gee! where the hell did you get your notion of altruism infiltrated? Boot camp or the Marine corps?<<< It is you who have no grasp of what altruism truly means and why it is evil by definition. It appears that you wish to define your concern for the "common good" as altruism. Mere concern is not altruism, pick a new term or settle for your "socially aware" capitalism, a cheese-ball non-committal state of confusion if you ask me. If you really wish to label yourself, spend some time self-introspecting and define yourself to yourself. No sense spouting off here before you have your own house in order. In my opinion, if you indeed own your own business you should not be elligible for any student discount on anything! Your message appears to be "stay enrolled in at least one class and 'test drive' the world's software for pennies." As a business you have the opportunity to become a beta test site. This would be a legitimate way to your ultimate goal which appears to be spend nothing for that which is so tempting to crack or copy. Bob

McCarthy seems to have at least one reincarnation! >Funny thing is I never said you were {a communist}, you kinda' took this on all by yourself.< check your message where you sent me to red china. this implies being one. >a cheese-ball non-committal state of confusion< at least our cheese in switzerland tastes a lot better than your unidentifiable cheddar… >"stay enrolled in at least one class and 'test drive' the world's software for pennies."< It just happens that I'm studying medicine; probably the toughest way at university to go because you can't "stay enrolled" and do nothing! (at least in our country; because places are limited.) My company only employs students who have to earn money to pay for university. Bob, please take notice of this message and don't reply. I'm not interested in continuing this "Nightmare". (yes, that's what it is: I'm horrified to see where that wonderful country has come to. I hope you're not the average). -B [INside Corp.]

Balt: Not respond and let you off the hook? No chance! There is no message in which I mention Red China, you've confused me with someone else. As far as cheese goes, I prefer Cheez Whiz and Velveeta both chemical derivatives and 100% unnatural. The twinkies of cheeses if you will. Your McCarthy reference is way out of line. Because I despise communism you think I'm like McCarthy? Since you believe in god does that make you a "jesus fish" as you call 'em? Now I'm content to let this thread die. Bob
