    conservatives are just nannies who make you clean up your own shit.

    except for Japan on 30%

    no wonder they invented pocamon.

    but seriously. perhaps the finding on high child injury can finally put pay to criticism of current emphasis on safety culture.

    computing was once a wild frontier of sorts.

    it's become a nanny state.

    yeah, i dunno about that one neil. if the allegations are true, then all iraq's neighbours seem to be funding fighters, but the coalition is the only one putting them in regular uniforms.

    surely what the US actually sees is a credible threat to its multi-billion dollar investment? don't you think it's more a case of them saying "if we can't have them no-one can?"

    Thats all you have, America or those guys

    exactly... the "love america or you'll get hitler" argument is the most stupid of all neo-con arguments.

    that said, lets tone down the anti-troll rhetoric, or RB will get grumpy. this isn't kiwiblog.

    can't agree with you stephen. although i should have said "by contemporary standards germany was highly liberal".

    afaik no country in the world was what we currently consider a functional democracy in the 1930s.

    you might want to read george mosse, confronting the nation: jewish and western Nationalism, 1993. he describes the flowering of liberal thought, the precursor to current liberal democracy. jewish thinkers were pivotal.

    man.. i wish i could drink coffee... but, you simply cannot compare the colossal events pre and post ww2 with the lame efforts to "democratise" the middle east from inside a humvee. it's a stupid pipe dream inspired by bible-thumping lunatics.
