The Nazi party started cleaning up political dissidents... quite soon after they got to power
Actually, they started doing that even before they got to power. That's part of how they got to power: having the SA (no, not the SysAdmin, the Sturm Abteilung) beat the lefties into silence...
There is a well established legal right to engage in this kind of discourse
IANAL and I've never bothered to read the US. Const. 1st Amend. But...
In most democratic countries, plotting to overthrow the government by any other means than a general election is considered as terrorism and/or treason.
Also, most democratic countries have explicit constitutional feedom to assemble, for political or other purpouses, but assembling to plot the overthrow the government is still illegal.
Conclusion: It's still a crime, even if you don't get caught.
But the wide boy in his racer will wear false plates or register at a false address and leave you to pay the bills...
Except that he's a "rich bastard" who probably pays more for a coffee than the CC, so he can't be bothered. Also, he most likely has personalised plates saying something along the lines of "My other car is a RR"...
You are trying to prove awareness by quoting that 80-so % of the people aware think this and that - nice!
On a different point: For a nation boasting a 1000 years of proud history, you seem to have a stunningly short memory. In all that time, you really only bailed us out once (and don't try to compare Napoleon and Willhelm with Hitler, that's just ignorant), and you have yet to bail "us" out of something you weren't part in starting yourself...

From a Scandinavian point ov view, I really don't think a Dane is in a position to critisise Sweden for human rights violations, considering recent legislation passed in Denmark... but hey, that's just me!
Some great quotes from Mr BodstrÃm (Minister for Justice) include:
"We have not done this to satisfy the big record companies"
"The police will not come running into people's homes looking for these things"
He is clearly completely clueless...
I'm afraid you are the cluless one.
There is more to law in Sweden than the letter of it. There is the intention of and spirit in (as interpreted by the High Court [HÃgsta domstolen] and Law Council [LagrÃ¥det] from the protoclos of parliament) which it was passed.
If the intention was to satisfy the big record companies and for the police to come running into people's homes looking for these things, then yes, it would be unenforcable. Since it isn't, it won't! ASAT
It applies to every part of Swedish citizens normal life
False. It only applies to electronic media, hence the misconception it is an internet law. It does not, for instance, apply to telephone directories. The "school" examples are usually exam results being published on the school's web page, which is illegal without prior active consent. Publishing it on a physical notice board isn't, at least not under PUL

Swedish courts are very different, in theory and even more so in practice, from US courts. They don't suffer the lynch-mob effect some times seen in the jury system, as rulings are decided by professional judges and laymen who take themselves rather seriously. They are by no means "untouchable" but are, generally, pretty hard to influence and have an established history of "sensible" rulings, in favour of the public (with the exception of the Gothenburg demonstrations).
I, at least, am not afraid (and, yes, I am Swedish)
For some reason, the media and government are a bunch of wishy-washy whiners, incapable of seeing far beyond the end of their noses.

Exactly! Most European countries have a more flourishing pron business than Sweden. For example, I didn't know (still don't know) a single porn actor/actress when I lived in Sweden. Here in London, I know a handful, and I'm in investment banking. Hey, one of my collegues is even married to one!
Take an extended holiday back in Finland. Find a nice lake, open a bottle of vodka. Sit back, enjoy the view and laugh hysterically as SCO goes down in flames!

The fact is, the Russians have never been able to defend their borders effectively but always used the "scorched earth" tactics of falling back and waiting for winter. They never had enough soldiers to defend their most western provinces. If they tried, they would have lost and the road to Moscow would have been wide open. Maybe in the end, lives would have been saved, but Moscow would have fallen. Yet no invading field marshal ever had enough soldiers to fight their way all the way to Moscow and at the same time maintaining supply lines etc. This is the reason why not only Hitler, but also Napoleon and Karl XII before him, failed to take Moscow too.
No one cares about your definition of the union. Maastricht is a legally binding treaty.
With Brussels, I assume you refer to the European Parliament rather than the Belgian Parliament? The European Parliament is, obviously, not exclusively made up of Belgians, but also, to an unproportionally large part, actually, of Britons. Sadly (or luckily?) only pro-europeans vote in the British elections to the European parliament...
I restate my claim that Britons are the EU citizens most unaware of the Union...

'would the Prime Minister lie?' Bearing in mind he's a: a politician, and b: has a pretty good track record of telling untruths
You forgot, he's also a lawyer...
Patriot Act
You missed the point:
Developers may be held liable if software does not work as expected
Developers can be held liable...
liability is limited to the criteria common for items given away for free, i.e. severe negligence only
...for causing damage through severe negligence.
Quite Easily Done ,-)
If he's so smart, then why can't he make a profit on anything besides his illegal monopolies?
Because it's much easier! That's why it's illegal.
Unfortunately, he's smart enough to get away with it...
It's Fascist, not Nazi...
Just because the defendant is guilty, it doesn't mean a summary conviction a lesser shambles, if you see what I mean..?

I'm sure some people saw Gutenberg's printing press as the Big Devil too.
Yes, that would have been the Roman Catholic Church... ,-)
My advice would be:
Take an extended holiday back in Finland.
Find a nice lake, open a bottle of vodka.
Sit back, enjoy the view and laugh hysterically as SCO goes down in flames!
Personally, I still have reservations about using a relational database to keep track of files.
Isn't that what what the AS/400 does..?
(At least, I hava a faint recollection of my old man (mossy old main-frame-guy) arguing this as a reason why OS/400 is surperior to Unix.)
I prefer cheese-munching surrender-monkey, if you don't mind?

Makes great ice cream, though...
Much appreciated, thank you! It will make some mighty interesting bedside reading... ,-)
