So, let me get this straight, if you suggest that genocide numbers are inflated, nonexistant, or anything like that, they throw you in prison?

And Europeans complain about the patriot act?

If you deny the holocaust, most people think you are a idiot. In Austria they send you to jail.



Heh, here hopes the crazy Iranian leader visits Austria...

World War 1.

What the hell's the point of creating legislation to control someone's opinion (genocide vs. civil unrest), let alone on an event that took place almost a century ago.

Seems like a waste of time to me.


Europe is very very strict with it's media. I was just listening to something this morning, talking about how a Dane's (I guess that would be in Denmark?) first and only news of the Iraq War was by coming across a rerun of Oprah with an iraq debate on it.

The show caused such a ruccus over there, the government fined the station that aired it.
