51% of Scots wish for break up of the Union

[William T Riker]

His work is controversial and I'm aware that some argue that he wasn't an anti semite, but then of course others do, and lets face it, Hitler found some of his stuff rather convenient. Nietzsche of course wasn't nearly as extreme, but he's just another example of the pseudo sciences and philosophies which had their origins in, or were rampant in Germany (and elsewhere it has to be said) in the 2nd half of the 19th and first half of the 20th century, including phrenology and eugenics, not to mention the daddy of all errant philosophies i.e. Marxism. However this debate is purely about the ideas of Max Weber.

Nietzsche philosophy is predicated on self-hatred and chauvinism (much like ex celt's deranged ramblings). Nietzsche hated women and the weak, mostly because he was a sickly recluse himself who never had female contact outside of his sister. He died in the late 1800s after going mad.

The link back to the likes of Fichte and other romantics seems persuasive, along with a twisted interpretation of scientific Darwinism, but I don't think anyone can legitimately argue that the effects of Nietzsche's philosophy were anything other than bad. As for Weber's theory, as you mentioned, it has been thoroughly disproved with the passage of time. Isn't a large proportion of the Scottish economy reliant on the public service in any case?

I hate the way people pick on Ex Celt just because his view is abit different. Funnily enough I agree with Ex Celt that Protestants are work shy.

Irish Catholics are workshy specifically.Check out sales of pyjamas here compared to any northern european protestant constitutional monarchy.

[Global Justice]

by ex-celt's logic, protestants are stupid and education-shy

I totally agree with you ex celt. Catholics work and Protestants don't. Especially the Monarchy. Why is it so hard for these Shinners to accept this fact?

UK trident will have to be scrapped in 2014 with the end of the Union. Loving it.
