We are, of course, amazed that our readers occasionally disagree with our brilliant and witty essays. In fact, sometimes quite a few readers think that The Outrage editors are wrong, misanthropic, idiotic, selfish, deluded, or all of the above.

Mother Outrage always told us that even the dull and the ignorant should have their say, so we've allowed space below for those dissenting opinions (and for shameless flattery).

write on!!!

Beh, the Seagate "saga" isn't too much an original invention: more or less the same way was stolen to the people of East Europe everything they gathered in half of a century of heavy work and renouncing. The operation is called "transition". Well, who did steal the transition idea to whom?

Isn't this a perfect example of the results of "outcome based education"? Surely, a well educated person could have discerned this scam as it happened.Again, the "dumbing down" of America has shown its ugly head.

BLOODY THIEVES. In bloody suits. The only buttwipess that make them pale are the bloody thieving buttlickers in the White House, Pentagon, state capitols and, of course, their counterparts in Kanaduh. Dickheads all of 'em!

Acctually nobody was forced to sell their shares in the first place (unless the buyers allready controlled 90 % of the company and could basically do what ever they wanted anyways!). And secondly nobody is forced to buy the shares now either. Good luck in making a profit if nobody buys. If people are so stupid as to give away their hard earned money the people taking them are not to blame! You have a choise, don´t buy into the stock market if you don´t know what you are doing! I´m sick and tired of people doing bad investment decisions and blaming others for their losses. Read a book or something before you make any decision as to invest your money. Most people do more research before buying a car-stereo then before buying shares for their lives savings, STUPID! Not to say anything about everyone buying in to tech stocks when they are valued at a P/E above 100! STUPID! Those people deserve to be screwed! As I said, read a book or at least start thinking on your own. If you do as everyone else you are not going to get any other result then everybody else and everone will not make money investing! THINK!

A few big energy companies swindled Californians out of at least $10 Billion a couple years ago when the market was deregulated, while the Bush Administation as well as courts, commissons, and agencies on down have went out of their way to protect the crooks.

Why are things going to be any different with Seagate?

Yes, it is theft and a scam and the way to stop this type of thing from happening again and again is to require 'buyers' or hostile takeover investment companies, to actually operate the companies for five to ten years following their actions. Not with a skeleton crew but within a range of twenty percent of the current staff and payroll as of the time of the purchase/takeover.
