I felt the need to post this here because I’m really tired of hearing Java programmers using the “lack of a universal Object class” as one reason to stake the claim that their language of choice is superior to C++. Of course, there are many other reasons in their arsenal that undoubtedly show the superiority of Java over C++.

C++ rules. We had a guy here a few years ago who created a whole elaborate “universal base class” to do locking, serialization, and so on our C++ class. What a f**kstick.
LOL. Everybody wants to own the world and force their stuff on everybody else. But those same dudes won’t use anybody else’s stuff.
I suppose I can be like that too, but MY stuff really IS better!
