Try again pal. Nothing you say will absolve you from your lies and the
fact that you're just a linux lovin lyin loser troll.
We all know that to be a true statement.
Now go ahead gives us your pat 'lies, insults, clichés and bluster'
bullsh*t answer. That won't change one fact about you.
On second thought, don't.
Just do us all a favor an disappear like you did once before but didn't
have the balls to stay away.
On top of being a know liar and troll, you're also weak.

And, "Air is free now" was an idiotic attempt at a metaphor. Oops.

"Air is free" is what an intelligent person would have used.
The "now" creates a time comparison...that conditions of the value of air
have changed with the progression of time.
Good Lord man...put Linux down and read a book !

There will be a day when you will have to pay for clean air unless the
world does something about climate change and air pollution. Soooooooo,
NOW air is free.

How come you can't reply to the post and only, lamely, I might add, try

You can wriggle all you want, you stand corrected.

So, you predict I will pay for air?
You believe your doomsday scenario will occur in my lifetime?
You are truly a buffoon.
Your predictions on environmental collapse run parallel with your
predictions on the success of Linux.
Both are incorrect.
You wouldn't happen to be waiting for a messianic messenger?
He is on a private plane with Al Gore, adding pollutants to the atmosphere
at a far greater rate than the average citizen.

You need to learn how to actually debate an issue as apparently you've
taken to using a pat "shoot the messenger" dodge far too many times.

You're the one who has "issues"...want to discuss them, though I really
doubt you'd want to confront or be confronted with them.
