Go Spain? About what dropping out of Iraq or Afghanistan because they got train bombed. If you ever watched Terrorstorm by Alex Jones he brings up questions about state sponsored terrorism stating that Spain might have been behind the train bombings just like England may have been behind the bus / subway bombings.

Well if that was the case the president, who went on to loose the election because he blamed the wrong terrorist group, should have organised the evidence to support his case for reelection. That would make more sense.

And i was referring to Spain's courts and their international jurisdiction for crimes overseas, including the invasion of Iraq.

 



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

@ Kasz - in Europe we don't get free speech a right in many countries, but governments support the ol' democratic saying "I'll fight for your right to disagree with me". So whilst we get free speech, it's not what the Americans would define as free speech. But to be honest I, and a lot of people, are happy with it that way.



François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), better known by the pen name Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, essayist and philosopher known for his defence of civil liberties, including freedom of religion and the right to a fair trial. He was an outspoken supporter of social reform.

Many of Voltaire's works and ideas would influence both the important thinkers of the American Revolution and the French Revolution, an honour he would share alongside other political theorists.

He is famous for the following quotation: "I disagree strongly with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Free speech is not completely free in most (if not all) European countries. In Norway holocaust denial is not illegal, but hate speech can be, especially racism. We also had a law up until recently banning blasphemy, but that law is not being enforced anymore, and will be removed.

We also have restrictions on porn, which is not defined as "speech" here, which it is in the U.S.

I can hardly wait until I get threatened with jail time for denying global warming.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

If the polar caps melt the oceans would not even rise more than 200 feet.

We would all survive and we will be playing videogames, having jobs, posting on internet forums discussing videogames like we do this very moment. Sea level rising is a gradual process. Plenty of time to adapt. :P

Let's all try to stay On Topic.
