Re: Stupid Americans! -- Stupid... Stupid... STUPID!!! __________-+__ zemviti

The previous post is inappropriate for many reasons. Many who visit these
newgroups are not Americans. A little less than half of the American voters
voted for somebody else. But the main objection to the start of this thread
is that is totally off-topic: it has nothing to do with computer program
languages!

Please, take this rant to the political newgroups. You will still get
dissenters (as well as supporters), but at least it will be on-topic.

The previous post is inappropriate for many reasons. There is no proof
that trolls that posts the same post to multiple newsgroups read the
responses to them, there is even less proof that they care about what
responders say. There is however anecdotal evidence that trolls count the
number of responses to their post to calculate their "score", your post
(and mine) may effectively be rewarding the troll.

In the future you may find that ignoring this particular kind of
troll is the most effective way of combating them.

You are only saying this because you never met the shortest
python expression passing the Türing test :

filter(lambda W : W not in 'ILLITERATE','BULLSHIT')

Is there any equivalent in hermes, icon, or haskell ?
