WorkChoice edit

I'd suggest "WorkChoice macht frei", but that would be bad of me.  ;-)

I worked out what you are referring to, riské (I found out about reductio ad Hitlerum recently) but it was still clever. Georgeslegloupier 03:04, 28 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hicks edit

Yeah, I wasn't surprised.

I'm torn between suspecting that David Hick's is more mad than bad, and being very suspicious of the treatment he's receiving.

In one sense, what happens to him isn't important, he's just one person, and probably not a very good one at that. On the other hand, the rules that apply to him are the same rules that apply to us all - so there is an element of precedence about this, as well as symbolic significance, that makes him worth fighting for.

A conservative is a liberal who has just been mugged.

A liberal is a conservate who has just been arrested.

Thanks for the message.

I appreciate it.

2006 FIFA World Cup controversies edit

Hi Georgeslegloupier! Thanks for your recent interest in the AfD of the 2006 World Cup controversies article. Your input is most appreciated. Since the AfD is now closed and the World Cup almost over, I'd like to encourage you to put some input into the improvement of this article, either by improving where you think you can, or by suggesting changes on the talk page. Kind regards, MyNameIsNotBob 03:32, 6 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
