AOL
 Ah... AntiChrist Online. The single most greedy, lousy, worthless, & absolute idiot-infested shithole there is, aside from the Evil Empire itself (Micro$oft). In my years online, I have met VERY few AOLers who aren't complete idiots. Their slogan should be:  "So easy to use, no wonder the net is flooded with complete morons."
Thanks to AOL, an idiot can not only annoy & irritate his/her village, they can annoy/irritate the whole damn world too. Don't you think that there's just some kinds of people that have no business being online? I DO. For instance.. some people have been GIVEN a regular ISP account and all the bells & whistles to get them around, and they complain that it's "too hard".
My god, people.. HOW hard is it to double click an icon on your desktop? It's not fucking ROCKET SCIENCE...
 It's obvious to any semi-computer literate person, that AOL doesn't have a damn clue. Internet users hate busy signals, excessive advertisements and censorship. So what does AOL do? They overload their membership so "You've Got Busy Signal!" Not content with having their users inundated with 10 billion SPAMs a day and force-fed inane advertisements at login, they clutter up snail mail with millions of useless CDs. And in the Internet spirit of sharing information and free speech, they send out "Guides" to censor such highly offensive words like "fart", "submissive", "gif" and "wet". And apparently "thing" is currently under review as well.
 Apparently, people want an "easy" safe, and reliable way to get online. Here's a hint.. You don't NEED that damn AOL to do so. Others complain that they can't get things that "only AOL" has while not using AOL. Well that's total bullshit. There's not one thing that AOL has, that can't be done easier, more reliably, faster, and more diversely than on AOL. Like so:
 
Chatrooms DALnet, ParaChat, Webmaster, TalkCity, Webnet, UnderNet, etc.
Instant Messenger ICQ(now an AOL shitheap), Powwow, MSN IM, etc.
E-Mail Eudora, Netscape, Outlook Express, Opera, etc
Web Surfing Netscape, IE(which is what AOL uses anyway), Opera, etc

And so on..
 So now no one can say that they need AOL. Shit, all AOL wants is money. They want to be the MTV of online "services". But... my argument has already been made for me over at AOLsucks.com and I really suggest you give it a look. It's more diverse & has more inside info than I can put here.
