Have you ever thought about how fortunate we are to live in a day and age where technology is affordable enough and network infrastructure which utilizes open standardized network protocols is widespread enough that you have the ability to cheaply, easily, and almost instantaneously call people halfway across the globe who are using different hardware ``faggot'' or ``nigger'' with anonymity and impunity?
Contemplate that for a second. Or a minute. Or an hour. Or a day. Or a few hours a day for a week, because it's easier to retain information if you refresh yourself on it every now and then rather than braindumping. Or not... I'm not in any position to tell you what to do. Feel free to contemplate it, or not, there is no obligation. It's just a mere suggestion, you see.
Anyhow, it gives ultimate freedom to those who otherwise would feel too shy, scared, or constrained by the political-correctness of our rather draconian society, allowing them to voice their true opinions. American citizens, for example, have the freedom of speech, but only to a certain extent... it's not socially acceptable to say such things to someone face-to-face, even if it is technically legal... although even then it could possibly be considered slander or hateful or harassment or whatever else. But technology breaks us free from the shackles of societal norms.
We do indeed live in a marvelous world, wouldn't you say?
I wonder what the world would be like without people like Richard Stallman.
On a side note, which Touhou character is your favorite? I like the one that shoots bullets in that one game. You know the one. I just forgot the name. There are so many of them, like Pokemon, only catering to pedophiles and autists rather than children with parents who have lots of disposable income for trading cards.
