From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

And some people can't pull their head out of their own ass long enough to see that their problems aren't the same as everyone else's problems. You're right though, it's naive to expect others not to view themselves and their pet issues as the only thing worth discussing in the world. Your response being a great case study in how you can do exactly that while also implying that no one else even has problems to begin with.
What makes somebody's sexual orientation political?
Do you see how you're being political here?
You're just projecting here.
I merely pointed out that everything is politics and yet you respond with yet more bleating.
And you respond further by shoving your head further up your own arse.
Are you trying to make yourself out as the victim here?
What a fucking crybaby!
