/* I noticed Yahoo has you listed as one of their business supporters. I stopped using Yahoo aggressively after I realized they support all religions except Christianity. Just try to find a Christmas card about Christ amongst all the other religious cards they freely give users access to on their main page for "Christmas". Since Yahoo refuses to acknowledge Christmas as an American Religious Holiday, like the other ones they list, I figured this year I would sent out a Christmas card from their service to all my family, friends, business associates, clients, & online news media simply explaining what I've observed and how it makes me feel. I also will list all the sponsors, advertisers, & partners as supporters. You don't need to respond to me. YOU NEED TO REACT TO THEM. In Him -Debbie */ Yahoo uses FreeBSD. That's why they are supported. What the fuck does that have to do with Christianity ? How the hell can you assume that everyone associated with FreeBSD is a Christian ? Your Christian arrogance is common but it still makes me sick. Of course SOME people who use FreeBSD are Christians, but others of us are not. Look at it from our point of view. Christ has NOTHING to do with FreeBSD. Another Christian bigot that assumes that everyone else in the world is Christian by default. Keep your beliefs to yourself Christian. Why don't you go boycott Disneyland because Mickey Mouse is a false idol or something ? I'm waiting for natural selection to take care of your kind. I apologize to everyone else on this list but if someone had came on the list using the word "nigger" or any other sort of bigotry, I would react the same. I am not a Christian, I know there are millions of other people out there who are not Christians, and I don't see how someone could say "Why does FreeBSD associate with a company that doesn't support Christianity ?!" That is the stupidest thing I've heard in a LONG time, and it makes me sick to my stomach. Like network operating systems have anything to do with religion (unless you pray for your server to work) ;) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
