shit.

I fucked up.

I invoked Hitler.

thus violated Godwin's law. yet I was going to call Godwin for advice?

oh doooood.

really. I'm not refreshing that page and I'm going to bed.

it's funny that he is the one posting hate speech links to MB and then he complains about it :)

"Who would have guessed that this site would be so welcoming to nazi hate speech". "I see it has a welcoming home here. guess you get enough nazis on a site and you form a consensus".

is it possible to get that edit publically available? i'd like to show it to people :p

thats twice he's refered to MB users as nazis, surely thats libel

PDF it.

Makes me kinda wonder how the court proceedings go if someone from the US sues me, for example

Am I expected to travel to the US for the duration of the court case?

no worries. they couldn't find you.

fin... what?

Or would it be judged by Finnish laws

:D

that's near mexico, right?

Between Mexico and Albania

lol

The pearls of South Asia

follow international & the laws of your country and there's little usa can do to you

they could send in special forces to kidnap you, though. some might consider that a invasion :p

(they had a case back in '94 here in norway, israeli special forces assassinated some guy they thought were a terrorist. he wasn't, he was quite innocent)

I remember reading about that one

It was related to some bigger operation which Mossad generally messed up quite fantastically

hmm, maybe it was in 96? don't remember exactly

1973? wow, that long ago?

i'm pretty sure they based a Law & Order episode on it

juhae: you might consider not traveling to the US if that happens.

In Lillehammer, Norway, on 07 January 1974, Mossad agents mistakenly killed Ahmad Boushiki, an Algerian waiter carrying a Moroccan passport, whom they mistook for PLO security head Ali Ahmad Salameh, believed to have masterminded the 1972 massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics [Salameh was killed in a 1979 car-bomb explosion in Lebanon]. Following the attack, the Mossad agents were arrested and tried before a Norwegian court. Five Israeli ...

... agents were convicted and served short jail sentences, though Israel denied responsibility for the murder. In February 1996, the Israeli government agreed to compensate the family of Ahmad Boushiki.

ah, 96 did ring a bell

how on earth did they catch the israeli agents? usually it takes the police a year to do so

They must've been ordered to surrender or something like that

Or alternatively the Norwegian police is very efficient, succeeding where most intelligence agencies in the world fail

hehe, good joke :p

although, i heard a number some days ago, apparently 97% of the murder cases are solved around here

(wonder if that guy who spent half a lifetime in jail for a murder he didn't commit counts on that statistic)

poor sucker died just before they figured out "oh, he really was innocent"

I think the percentage is quite near that over here in Finland as well

Small countries and usually pretty stupid murderers

we "only" got 30 murders/year, though

in the whole country?

yeh

LA has waaay more than that.

probably that many in 30-60 days. :-(

usually it's drug addicts or, with taking the risk of sounding like a racist, "honor murder" (not sure the right word) within certain religious... circles

We had 111 killings in 2006 (including murder, manslaughter and so forth)

Most of them are prolly unintentional deaths by drunken people

you got roughly 12% more people

(than norway)

Like driving over someone while drunk or hitting someone in the head too hard

believe 30/year is just murder

hmm, where did i read it again

it's no LA..but there's usually at least one every weekend here in T.O.

here we go. early 70's it was between 21-27 murders/year. in '86 & '91 it peaked at 55 murders/year and in 2006 i believe it was quite close to 30

33 in 2005

59 murders in 2006

generally i'd say nothern european countries got a fairly well working system. might help that out countries aren't that crowded too

The dark winter tends to show in the suicide statistics though

Or violent crimes, I guess

But yeah, I figure we're doing quite good over here in general :)

let's see, found some nice statistics. in 2005 173 people commited suicide in norway

170 in 2004 and 128 in 2003

quite a leap there

whoops, that's wrong

that was women

damn, men are much worse. 360 in 2005, 359 in 2004 and 374 in 2003

(woops, windows randomly switched back to qwerty for this window).

not really surprising there was a crazy peak in suicides when soviet union fell and our economy was shot to hell

warp, windows does wierd things with multiple keymaps, whereby it supports different keyboard settings per window

eg, I can have a FI keymap for MSN and IRC, yet a UK keymap for Firefox and Thundertird etc etc

Muzzz: yes, i know. totally annoying, i cannot imagine why you would ever want thact.

s/act/at/

Alt+Shift is the shortcut to switch keymaps

Alt+Left Shift, rather

alt+lshift, yes. i know.

Ah,y ou said "random", thought you were a bit confused as to why it did that

that must be why i'm always in trouble of changing keyboard layouts, as i use alt+tab & alt+shift+tab to change windows

thanks for solving the mystery

Muzzz: easier to blame windows :). i probably hit alt+lshift by accident, yes.

:P PEBKAC

well, i still blame windows for having a keymap per window.

That always makes my brain hurt. D:

(Muzzz, that is, not Windows)

:'(

chefkoch_AW is now known as chefkoch

chuck loads of yes votes at this please. http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=8419339

shame i dont live in usa, i'd travel to see them just to smack the stupid fucker in the face

"Ok Rob, Point taken, you prefer to facilitate Nazis to be able to illegally steel a trademark from an honest hardworking artist to distribute hate speech which is not protected free speech. I hope you feel good about that."

prrrflt :D

One of the reasons I really love to play punk is that there's none of that butthurt-"artist"-crap

very true

wolfpack just changed their name to wolfbrigade after they found out there was a neo-nazi organization called "wolfpack"

and went on with their stuff

If he's so upset be the association why not just change the name, it would ruin his "reputation" less than being a complete knobhead

the exception being Handsome "Dickhead" Manitoba

There seems to be a lot of neo-nazi metal bands that use the same name as other metal bands or punk bands.

still the same topic? didn't that guy give up?

no, he and his friend are still going strong and still insist on vandalising the other band entry

he shall fight on the beaches, he shall fight on the landing grounds, he shall fight in the fields and in the streets, he shall fight in the hills..

etc

and state i'm corrupting the database by raising the release and artist to high level and i'm workin to my own agenda and i'm a nazi lover. they are my new bestest friends

lol. just reading it

when exactly did we force him to change his name?

I suggest he might want to change his name, seemed to upset him

*suggested

:)

One of the more weird things re. neo-nazis I've noticed was the controversy surrounding the THor Steinar clothing line.

christ, that discussion is bizarre

http://www.discogs.com/label/Apraxia hemay struggle to prove his claim to copyright when that label has been using the name for a lot longer

medical names, such a cliche

why are so many music artists such complete wankers with their heads stuck up their arses?

mudcrow: artist annotation as to why the high quality might be in order ;)

same as my edit note? to stop stupid twats from vandalising it?

I think i'll let someone else write an annotation, i'm just slightly completely pissed off with them to write anything not offensive

Yeah, Something like that. We need some kind of hard-to-edit note reasoning the "protection" of the eartist.

maybe outsidecontext could write an annotation. his edit notes are more reasonable then mine. I get angry too easily

I've got ione ready if need be.

ok please do it then petros, thanks

something simple without offenses: http://musicbrainz.org/show/artist/?artistid=11...

uh, sorry. didn't see your post, petros

thanks outsidecontext and petros

outsidecontext: You did good, grashopper ;)

:) back to work
