Although I do find this law to be pretty pathetic, I have to agree with Mathman and others regarding the guy breaking the law.  Stupid or no, if you break a law you should be prepared to face the consequences.

Persons who approve of such laws and of the prosecution of individuals under them pose a greater danger to the Western libertarian tradition than Irving does.

One other thing Irving was arrrested on a warrant issued in 1989 and convicted under a law passed in 1992...

Unless you are Austrian, you have no right to grant approval of sovereign Austrian domestic laws, and Thrawn does not have the power or privilege of granting 'souless' status on anyone. The laws and culture of any nation are the sole domain of its citizens.

You would expect the same consideration and respect for your nations domestic laws and culture by those who are granted the privilege of visiting your nation.

The souless status is ment in jest.

Yes, I expect those who are guests in my country to respect our laws, as retarded as they may or may not be.

I am not arguing the right of Austria to have retarded laws.  I am arguing the rightness of those retarded laws.

I worship Thrawn as my Canuckian God, so yeah he does.  Thrawn giveth, and Thrawn taketh away.  Please Thrawn, accept this basket of beer and poutine as a sign of my faith...please give me my soul back, eh!  Hoser.

Is it OK if I have an opinion of an Austrian law, or is that out of line?  I don't expect any Austrian to give a damn what my opinion is, and I don't plan on heading to Austria to shout my opinion from the rooftops.

Souless status is arbitrary and final.  Sorry, if there was anything I could do...

yep... it's their law and he broke it.  It is a really stupid law that violates human rights but... it's their law.

That is why you stay out of other countries or walk on eggs when you are visiting them.... that is why you don't let the UN have any power over your own country.
