    The sneakers is definitely the cause behind this! They must be outlawed. Let's author the bill "Better boots for America". No boot may be bought unless manufactured by Nike slaves^H^HAmerican brand. The bill also include authorization for the police to raid the house of anyone seen with non approved boots.

    But wait... Fact: He was using Windows on his PC. Fact: No Linux user has ever done this. That must be the reason, ban Windows so it won't happen again.

      How will any useful application work if you banned Windows, though? Ban Windows and you might as well be punching your programs in cards with your teeth just like the college days.

        Well, I, for one, preferred punching programs in cards to using Windows...

          Yeah... good times... I reckon many a soylenter are nostalgic about college days... at least those of us who can still remember them.

    What nonsense! If only everyone else also had sneakers as well, then they would have been able to defend themselves!
