Interest to who, those who worship that flaming leftist Stallman?

Check out his political notes before posting any more of his tripe.

If he's that bad, then why are you always the one linking to him...

Second, we don't worship him--and most all of us here really don't care for his political ramblings.

Again, OSS does NOT equal FSF!!! There is a subtle difference.

FSF is part of the Open-Source community. Not the other way around.

I link him so all other freepers besides your small group that loves to quote him and push his software will know what a fanatical leftist he is. Your whining about it each time shows you don't want them to know, either. Tough.

Excuse me--but you're the one who's quoting him all the time.

A little while back, we quoted his GPL along with several other open-source licenses. But that doesn't have anything to do with Stallman.

You're the one pushing his ideology on us. And if that bugs you, then why do you do it?

Finally, I'm not whining about it, you are. If you don't like it, then stop linking to his website.

Rather simple principle, no?

Hilarious! Like I'm the one pushing Stallman when I point out what a leftist he is. That's almost as funny as you referring to your political science schoolwork as "PoliSci", as if you're studying to be an actual scientist LMAO. Switch your major to "PolySci" or expect further laughter.

I see you're trying to change the subject. Your crush on Stallman starting to get a little embarrassing?

You're still pushing Stallman far more than any of us combined--therefore your accusing us of being disciples of him is at best baseless.

And yes, PoliSci is one colloquial abbreviation for political science. Political science is one of the social sciences--as opposed to hard science (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Earth Science, etc.).

Of course, most of us here already realize this...

I'm obviously not the one pushing Stallman, I'm exposing the fact that his pushers don't like it known he's a radical leftist.

As for Political Science, it's not a "science" of any sort, it's a "liberal art". Which in your case makes perfect sense.

Not only do you have no idea what you're talking about, you'r also massively ignorant of what others try to tell you. And you also refuse to admit when you're wrong. As usual.

But fine. If we're the ones pushing Stallman, I want ten (10) unadulterated posts from any of us that explicitly push Stallman. And discussing the GPL does NOT count. If you can prove it to our faces, then maybe we'll take your word with more than a grain of salt.

Second, Social Sciences are considered part of the current Liberal Arts. Simply put, Liberal Arts studies are any field of study that isn't mostly vocational education in undergrad or are "hard sciences" or technology based.

Most Social sciences, Education, most mathematics, English, etc. are considered Liberal Arts by today's standards. But Physics and computer science wouldn't.

When I originally took up Packaging Engineering, that wasn't Liberal Arts, as it was a direct vocational field of study. So it wasn't considered a Liberal Arts major.

Of course, if you look at the traditional Liberal Arts from the original Universities--the Trivium and the Quadrivium, the studies were in logic, arithmetic, rhetoric, etc. and was designed to provide a full, well-rounded education.

Liberal here comes from the Latin Liberalis--meaning "of free men" and was opposed to the servile/peasantry arts. This idea continues in most of the rest of the world--and is also where we derive the word Liberty.

On a related note, Liberal didn't have its economic and political connotations until the mid-18th century; and since the time of FDR, the typical definitions of Liberal and Conservative got switched around.

So American conservatism is akin to classical liberalism...

You still haven't answered my question. Show me the posts.

Second, I'm an above-average student. And I studied history. The topic of medieval universities played a role in not only my art history course, but world history as well.

Third, you continue to portray yourself as an utter fool on these threads. With all due respect, I'd advise you to stop before you dig yourself another hole you can't climb out of.
