    You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
    1. Denial of the holocaust and of WWII war crimes is a criminal offense. So yes, your "Tour guide" would be arrested and could face a jail sentence if he did this on a regular basis.
    2. Except the few idiots, every country seems to have their share of, people know what happened and will aggressively oppose any right wingers trying to downplay history. For every march the eternally backward do, there is a counter demonstration 10 to 100 times larger, telling them to go back to their brown holes.
    3. I don't think any country in the world gives a more detailed account of how badly germany fucked up in these years. Almost all school children visit the sites of at least one concentration camp at least once to see with their own eyes what happened.
    4. Germany committed one of the most horrible atrocities in history, but unlike most other countries does not hide or downplay their guilt. Try looking at the history books for school children in any country and look how they cover their own dark chapters. Be assured they are there.

    Your were probably trying to push a cheap joke, but as usual: If you have no idea what you are talking about, you might as well just shut the fuck up.

    And a hyperinflation in Germany would affect the face value of US Treasury bonds exactly how?

    Well it paved the ground for this guy who stole Charlie Chaplins beard and his pals. They later engaged in a little tour across europe that indeed did affect the US economy. But beyond that, probably not much.

    The main reason Starbucks an the like flourished and hot this big, was that the ordinary coffee available in the US sucked (to put it mildly). Microbreweries seem work through a similar avenue.

    So at the end of the day I find the statement of the House of Lords quite correct, but would appreciate it if someone could apologize for this. ....

  12. Re:Turn it off! on Symantec Identifies Android Trojans That Mutate With Every Download · · Score: 1

    Simple solution? Go for the money and this will disappear.
    Any company setting up a premium number must sign a lot of liability clauses in their contract. No money is transferred to the company right away for any premium number. They get a "payment received" messages, but the money itself is frozen for at least 2 months, either with the carrier or an accredited payment service provider. If reports of abuse come in, this period is extended. If to many complains come in, all transfers to this company are frozen and an investigation is launched.
    Most of these schemes work, by grabbing as much as they can before they are noticed. Then it's run with as much as you can.
    The idea could probably use some more work, before actually being useful, but I think the basic concept should be fine. The bad news is, that telco carriers probably won't do this without a push from new legislation/regulation.

    I was thinking more along the lines of "psst. are you available??? ;)". would work wonders.

    Amen. If just clicking a link (compared to "do you really want to install this potentially dangerous software") results in an infection there is something deeply wrong. Browsers (or even the Fb API) should shield users from something like this, or be considered defective.
    I have seen parts of the internet where normal eye bleach wouldn't have helped anymore, but if we couldn't just go out and explore, the web wouldn't be the same anymore.

    Have you ever tried to file any big public event? Not sure about the laws in your area but here you do need to provide emergency plans, escape routes, ambulances on standby and more. The police and the mayors office will probably be helpful but if they think it to be dangerous they will not put they seal on it. Neither you will get any insurance and you will be liable for everything happening.
    Of course, if you are "important" and the want you to hold your event, they might look the other way. Love Parade in Duisburg anyone?

    Life is never simple and the fucking nut jobs who commit, plan, support or even endorse such attacks should be regarded as filthy scum and can rot in hell being butt raped by 50 demons day in and out. But one also does have to ask oneself, why do they hate me so much they willingly die do harm us. What have we done to them (quite a lot I'm afraid) to warrant such hate. No one is free of sin (maybe except this guy they nailed to a cross two millenniums ago) but you can't really tell everybody what to to (even if you are right) without picking up a few enemies on the way.
    The reason so many people utter these "but"s you mention, are that we don't even bother to act as we preach. We preach freedom and democracy, yet support dictators because they are easier to do business with. We hail a bill of rights and a constitution but have Guantanamo Bay, so we don't have to play according to our own rules. We trained the Taliban and gave them weapons, because they were fighting the Russians at that time. We must first clean our own yard and look carefully at all the skeletons in our basement. Maybe an humble an honest apology might be called for here and the.
    If that was done, any attack would call for the righteous wrath of all decent people. Some idiots never learn and we will not live in a peaceful world for a very long time, but should not fall to their levels.

    Actually it's not simply "human" flesh, as it symbolizes the body of Gods son. So it is eating part of their god. Human sacrifices were already out in the old testament.
