Your Feedback

What do you mean by 'make a rational argument'? You're too chicken to put up your opinions and you still want others to submit rational arguments, like you're some kind of Booker prize committee?

You will not be intimidated? Like you wish you were that important. I'm sure George Bush logs on here on a daily basis to find out what you think. Rant away, you juveniles, that's what the US military invented the internet for. Enjoy!

At the time this was posted, the title page made it quite clear that we had not yet given our reasons for supporting a boycott, although you will note that clicking the 'about' link on the left hand side of this page will give you the information you seek. Furthermore, we were not specifically asking for 'rational argument' but rather for people to stop using threats. If you disagree with something, explain why.

Also, the US military 'invented' the Internet to provide a robust communications system in the event of a nuclear war (which, undoubtedly would have been caused by them in the first place), although it ought to be noted that Arpanet would never have happened without the innovative work of Donald Davies, a Brit, at the National Physical Laboratory. Still, you Yanks are not averse to re-writing history so no wonder his contribution is generally forgotten.

The bases are there to keep peace..Don't you understand that??
To oppose them would create another need for a Normandy??
Or do believe that we'd have been better off without US troops in Europe in 1944?????? You are very shortsighted!!! Pity!!

No, I do not understand how a continuing military presence in the world's trouble spots ensures peace. The USA has bombed 21 countries since WWII. Hardly a good track record in the peace stakes, now is it? And I think we all know that the US were pursuing their own agenda in WWII. They nearly persuaded Churchill to invade Russia after all.

I fully agree with what this site stands for. It's high time we (the Western world) put a defence up to this blatant warmongering and landconquering.

That such belligerent, oppressive behaviour, as demonstrated by the USA government, should be tolerated is a lack of respect to the people who have died in the tragedy of 11/9 and in the post-11/9 bombarding of Afghanistan.

Were it not for the now infamous US foreign policy sticking its nose where it's not welcome, think of how many thousands of lives could have been saved.

Nelson Mandela is right. They are a threat to world peace. And we must stand up to the real instigators of world terrorism, oppression and dictatorship - the US government.

Hi, I like your stance, look forward to seeing the site up and running. Any change there may be a mailing list available ?

PS. Don't like the choice of fonts/colors etc.

by 'JJ'

Our response:

We are considering the implications of the UK Data Protection Act before setting up a mailing list, but we hope to have more news on this soon.

Regarding the colour scheme, most feedback on this has been negative and therefore you can expect a re-design soon.

Quote "This page aims to explain why the site's contributors are calling for a boycott of major US companies, services and products."

Yep you are so keen on boycotting US companies you sue a US hosting service for your web site.

by 'J'

Our response:

Um, we are not quite sure how www.uklinux.net could be considered a US hosting service? Keep taking the pills.

You stupid pussy.
The UK is in on it too.

Our response:

It depends what 'it' is? The New World Order? The Illuminati? What? Use of the word pussy suggests an American origin to this comment, so we would guess, by the law of averages, you are a loony of the right-wing variety?

Why is it that you people support the most vicious and worthless elements of society? When dregs like Saddam are allowed to run free, there would be no more computers, no more medicine, and no more cocoa cappuccinos.

Our Response:

This is the classic 'either for us or against us' argument used by American politicians, in their religious zeal for generations. The world is more complicated than 'us or them' and 'right or wrong'. Being opposed to the US's policies does not automatically mean we are supporters of the US's enemies, either perceived or genuine.
