Prisons in the Nordic countries are ridiculous. Inmates have better food than we serve our kids in school too. :angry:

Klaus

You should set a precedent and send your kids to jail instead, Rex. Make sure they get a proper meal and some woodshop skills along with their state-mandated education.

Rex

Not a bad idea! 🙂

The human rights case he won was about degrading treatment, which when you see past the fact that he doesn't deserve any better, is fair enough.

Obama's just ensured that a lot of undecided voters will vote to stay in the EU. And made Boris Johnson and Farage look like bigots.

y va marquer

He exposed them for what they are.

Boris disguises a lot beneath that buffoonish facade.

They do that for themselves almost every time they open their mouths, but your point definitely stands.

Rex

I don't understand this 'made them look like bigots' line of phrasing, of which I have seen many different guises. If you say bigoted and/or racist things, then you are a bigot and/or a racist. There is nothing 'like'.

Or his statements could motivate more people who want to the UK to leave to go vote. Though, I think he'll have a near zero effect on the outcome.

Why is Aceh so extreme?

Burnwinter

In its current incarnation, it's basically because of Indonesian imperialism—as the article points out, Aceh's religious conservatives are propped up by the Indonesian government as the best available alternative to the province's highly popular independence movement.

Aceh and West Papua are, after Timor Leste, the highest profile self-determination causes in the Indonesian archipelago.

And when you think of all the aid Australia gave them after the tsunami in 04, next time we should let Allah save them.

Mirth

That's a terrible argument against humanitarian aid.

Biggus

Theres really no such thing as humanitarian aid its always to court influence, why do you think the Saudi's are building all those mosques everywhere?
