    France allows both pro and anti Chinese demonstrations.

    The unelected Chinese government tolerates anti-French protests in China, but murders its own citizens if they demonstrate for free elections in China.

    If the Chinese living in Paris want to protest about media bias, how about protesting against Chinese censorship of anything…

    Never mind, the supine Supreme Court will soon overturn this ruling, regardless of what the constitution says.

    If the run-off isn't held by Saturday, the despot Mugabe will hold power illegally. I wonder what it will take for Mbeki to denounce him?

    I'm not sure that means testing will work. Just look at the number of politicians with their Y20,000,000+ salaries, plus expenses who claim to have almost no assets.

    Do we really need constant "growth"? If the population is declining then the growth in GDP per head will be greater than that in countries such as the UK, where the majority of growth is due to immigration.

    The government needs growth in order to fund its debts and wasteful…

    Aren't these "deductions" simply the insurance premiums that the elderly should have been paying anyway? Y2000 every two months isn't much. I was paying Y10000 (ten thousand) per week when I foolishly enrolled in the national health care system years ago. Maybe the elderly haven't noticed, but my taxes are…

    The despot Mugabe refuses to give up power. Meanwhile, neighbouring countries remain silent. Perhaps they see Mugabe as a kind of perverse role model?

    "Capital punishment is one way to deter people from committing heinous crimes"

    "Atrocious crimes are increasing to a great extent"

    It doesn't seem to have worked, does it? Poor old Machimura should have a lie down as he is obviously tired and confused. If the death penalty is such a…

    Once again the Supreme Court shows its bias and unwillingness to uphold the constitution.

    Exactly which "rights" were infringed by posting some leaflets in a mailbox? Where in the constitution does it state that these "rights" have priority?

    Maybe this is the start of a shift of whaling operations from the south Pacific to areas nearer Japan?

    But don't whales in the northern Pacific have a high heavy metal content?
