    Hypothetically, if Larry was eaten, would other billionaires be on their best behavior and stop positing fascist control mechanisms?

        You go right ahead. I’m not eating any of those assholes. They’re only held together by hatred and bitterness. I’d assume the taste would be influenced by that.

      Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle.

        Oracle, the official company of “Look, we’re developer friendly now, our stuff is open source and free to use! Oh, right, you’ve activated my trap card, now pay 10k per every employee of your company because you used our proprietary JDK mwhahahahaha”

      After 9/11/01, he said, “You have no privacy anyway. Get over it. We should have a national ID card database.” (paraphrased, but that was the gist)

      I’m not disputing that he’s dangerous, but I’m pretty sure his comments are mostly driven by wanting to sell Oracle licenses. Which somehow makes it worse.
