OK, this is what the Icelandic laws are.....
"Children aged 12 and under may not be outdoors after 20:00 unless accompanied by an adult. Children aged 13 to 16 may not be outdoors after 22:00,
During the period 1 May to 1 September, children may be outdoors for two hours longer."

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

No no nazis and holocaust deniers deserve as such and the fact he has a whole bunch of nazi fuckwits hitching there fascist wagon to his makes it even worse.Ghatanothoa wrote: As far as I'm concerned David Irving should get the first Icelandic freedom of expression award. I don't agree with his hypotheses but I agree even less with the fact that he is subject to arrest in several states for airing them.
What he is doing is an abuse of freedom of speech and a affront to all those who suffered during the holocaust.
The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."Trolldor wrote:Ahh cardinal Pell. He's like a monkey after a lobotomy and three lines of cocaine.
