LE>> The short answer to that is "yes, gladly and with
honor". The long

 LE>> answer is a bit complicated so I won't give it here. 

 CR> (shrug)  Okay, but don't consider it unreasonable for the reactions

 CR> you're getting to this idea in here to be *remarkably similar* to

 LE> That's fine. I can and will say "Fuck you !" to the best
of them. In

 LE> fact, I have done so on many occasions. Not to mince words, if people

 LE> don't like my beliefs or the way I follow them, they can either put up

 LE> or shut up. 



"Put up or shut up" with regards to YOUR beliefs?  I don't think

that entirely makes sense.  I'm sure a lot of people here put their

money where their mouth is RE their OWN beliefs, just as you're

doing I suppose, but I don't see why they should have to vindicate

you.



From where I'm standing, if I were Bill Gates and I saw a tattooed

22 year old with those slogans etched into his body, I'd be a mix of

flattered and amused.  While the majority of everyone else would

just be flat-out amused.  And maybe a little pitiful.



In a world where genocide, child-slaughter, starvation and disease

occur daily, you're getting a bug up your butt over SOFTWARE?



 CR> And it'd be a bitch of a thing to have to explain for the umpteenth

 LE> Doesn't bother me. Really. Who's to see it ? It's of most use when

 LE> presenting talks to groups of people, which I'm called upon to do

 LE> quite frequently these days. 



Talks on what?  What do you do that requires the use of anti-Bill

tattoos to be marked prominently on yourself?



 CR> How old are you, may I ask?  Serious question.

 LE> Best part of 22. But who knows, I could die tomorrow. Does that make

 LE> me older than a 70-year-old who's got another 20 years to live,

 LE> guaranteed ? 



No.  It makes you a person with 48 years less life experience than a

70 year old.



I would seriously reconsider having this done to yourself.
