In reply to: Owain (UK) 's message, "right-wing socialist" on 22:35:03 12/02/04 Thu

The mythical Owain of the increasingly large numbers has it right, as far as I can tell. We have seen the ideological combination you are talking about, and we fought a very, very nasty war to try and rid the world of it. I would, if necessary, be prepared to go to war myself should it become necessary to perform the job again.

I must say, young man, that I get a distinct mental shudder when I read some of your comments. I find both of your terms � "right wing" and "socialist" � equally distressing. I find that simplistic divisions of complex issues into "left" and "right" are usually a sign of soft-headedness dressing itself up as willpower. I have no problem at all with being proud of one's own culture, but I can't see why it should ever descend to the hostile, bigoted, bone-headed flag-waving and name-calling of nationalism.

I believe that you are playing a dangerous game, Owain, and I hope that you will grow out of it.

Author: David (Australia) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 13:26:21 12/03/04 Fri I agree with you, Ian. Owain's views seem to fit in rather disturbingly with a party known in Australia as the One Nation Party. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
