The sad irony here is that "racial theory" - a long discredited pseudo-science - comes from Austria. Let's not forget how hugely popular the Nazi party was there before and after the German invasion and annexation of Austria into the Reich. Say what you like about the Austrians, many may be really decent people, but when, as you yourself have stated, a very wealth little country has over 30% of its population voting for Neo-Nazi parties, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see there is something seriously fucking wrong with Austrian society and the values Austrian kids are raised with. “The present situation is the result of a mistaken policy and not of the Genes of Austrians”

Hitler and Flanker, both of you are ignorants. One should not try out an irony where people could misunderstand it as serious postings. As much as I dislike Hugo Chavez, he is not Hitler and this should not be insinuated even not in an ironic postings. There are no "The Austrians". Many things have changed. National-Socialism was beaten by the Allied and Austria has democratic structures, division of power, elections, freedom of speech, of religion. The present situation is the result of a mistaken policy and not of the Genes of Austrians. So lets not try to ridicule and essentialise Austrians. Same goes of course for Jews, Britons etc. A.

He was after all a nationalist and a socialist, just like my hero, Hugo. ps Let’s not forget that Hitler wasn’t so bad. He was after all a nationalist and a socialist, just like my hero, Hugo.

This is all a horrible mistake, and I'm sure the neocons and Yanks are all behind it. I think the Austrians are truly lovely people.

Why would you expect my people to change after a mere 70 years? After all, you told them after WW2 that they were the victims, rather than active perpetrators and collaborators of my policies!

Most Muslims are as against Islamist extremism as you are. You have to change your attitude about Muslims. Your hatred towards them is a terrible illness you'll soon need serious medical treatment for. Be a mensh and look at the difference between extremists and ordinary people. Once you do that you'll feel better, I promise you. Please stop going on about Islam and Muslims. Most Muslims are as against Islamist extremism as you are.
