  1. Neutrality? Who's kidding who? Anonymous -- 25/07/08

    No-one is perfectly neutral on any topic and this is especially true when it comes to politics. We are all shaped by our experiences and this translates into positive or negative biase.

    Everyone should be allowed to correct factual errors about themsleves on Wikipedia. Unpleasant truthes are another matter, but who can blame anyone for wanting to hide them from the world.

    1. Consequences Anonymous -- 25/07/08

      our parents try to drill through to us as kids growing up we are responsible for our own actions and we must suffer the consequences.

      this is no different. if i make a stupid mistake i have to life with it for the rest of my life, why are politicians any different? changing the events after they have occurred to present something other than reality is simply yet another attempt at deception and lies by our wonderful pollies.
