<< Um, like Ford suckz, and, um like Chevy rulez! DOWN WITH FORDs!! >>


Fords tires are horrible...they'll blow up and kill you. Who would buy ford anyways? Ahahahhaha.

Lucidguy....The Patriot...if you realize that the Americans killed the Indians to take their land, what is there to be proud of? We raped and robbed...and stole their land. And now the American dream is to have enough electricity to power our retarded computer that Microsoft is trying to get into. If we in California are constantly having rolling blackouts...we'll be ok...hopefully MS servers will eat it. Better yet...what if those hackers attack MS again. That was funny.

I know we're Off-Topic in this thread but who really wants to stay on topic in lucid's thread after his trolling and thread crapping. Can I see a show of hands for those willing to stay Off-Topic???

I'm in. So, how much do people hate the Raiders? I know I do. Do you think MJ will come back, and do you think that he should or shouldn't? America really wants to know!!

Is that off topic enough for you?

Also, Fords really do suck. I know that we will disagree on that Psycho, but I HATE Fords, just like LucidGuy/AaronP/Joe-I'madumbass-nator hates Bill Gates and MS.

Here's the way I see it
Don't want the kid at the local video store to have your personal info, don't become a memeber,
Don't want the Dmv to have it either, don't drive,
Not the banks either, do all your financing in cash,
You have a choice, you paranoid freak(what the hell makes you think that Microsoft gives a squat about your personal info anyway, have you checked yourself for little microsoft anal probes lately, maybe there tracking YOU)

The analogy to remote disabling of high-priced vehilcles is invalid.

The vehicle is disabled if and only if you default on your payments. Otherwise, you are left alone and your privacy is respected.

However, in order to even get to use Win XP, you must have paid for it to begin with. So why is the privacy of a paying customer being threatened even though he paid in full before he even started using the OS?

Sorry, my love for hot dogs was as far off topic as I could get.

For something slightly related to lucids topic...Microsoft is not God, and believe it or not they are not above the law. Bill Gates is not some greedy bastard. His charity foundation gives away millions. And sorry Lucid, but I'm sure that if Microsoft takes any info from your computer, they will cover their ass and people like you yelling life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness won't be able to do sh1t.

I wrap my hot dogs in foil with cheese and broil them on the exhaust manifold of my Escort. I can do 0 to 40(hot dogs) in 8 miles flat.

Hey Shudder, was that a good bagel? I like bagels.

And hotdogs

And the Ford Cobra-R is nice! It out-handles the Vette. Of course you need to be a race team to buy one.

Their road cars suck...Chevy is much better than their regular road cars


LucidGuy:
Ok callerID and IP address.
If you are that paranoid, sign up for an anonymous email from a local internet pub, and activate via email.
Or use a payphone to call in your activation.

Stop being so paranoid.

OK Lucidguy......since you've gone there........you're &quot;Buying&quot; anything! When you pay for your software you're getting a licsense to use it, and when you install it, you're agreeing to the terms setforth by said company........i.e. you're basicly paying to USE the software or RENT it! That being said, I encourage you to go try and buy, lease, rent, or use anything of any real mean value these days without giving up quite a bit of vital info before you walk away with possession!
