  • ...though I do have to admit that two of the countries were Andorra and Monaco...
    Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

        Poly is a bit of a social experiment. Back then it was full of real right-wing types and a lot of christians.

        Now a lot of right-wingers have either left (usually under a cloud of humiliation) or actually moved towards the left as time and sense has prevailed (some notable converts!). Also the christians are less numerous and no longer openly flout their beliefs because they know they'll be ridiculed.

        So all in all, it is a successful experiment in education and changing of attitudes by exposure to those that can lead them to the right path - even people with right-wing attitudes can be made to see the error of their ways over time...
        Anyone reminded of communist "re-education" camps ? Or the way communists run schools and the way they "teach" communism to children ?

              I'm sorry, for 'communist' shouldn't we be reading 'Muslim' ?
