Free tickets to ST holders that hadn't renewed yesterday, in their old seats.

TEG, I have nothing against you voicing your opinion, that is indeed your right, but my right is to then rebut your point and the fact is, these men didn't become millionaires just by buying lotto tickets very week; love or hate them, they are businessmen and they are that for a reason.

Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Hitler, Thatcher knew something about politics but it didn't make their policies right.

haha, that is probably the worst exam of wickerman debating, I have ever seen and I have debated against redneck republicans.

You know just stringing off names of disreputable people and hoping that somehow links to anything and somehow rebuts me is not an argument, it is plain ball dodging, but who cares I will refute anyway (as if I have too refute such a woeful point they all had something else in common, they all failed badly.

Pol Pot-believing he did know something about politics is about as stupid as believing in his politics, but that aside, the fact he was forced to live out the end of his life using jungle leafs as toilet paper sort of tells it own story.

Idi Amin=As a tyrant, did very well as he was one of those rare man, whose brutish mind somehow always overcame all the politician ramifications used to undermine other small world leaders, by simply brutishly attacking them headon without any regard for what they meant. I mean why try to understand the some UN charter, when just shoot the man giving it to you and then use it as a table mat. However even this savage exam of why insane people and war are never a good mix, was defeated and disposed of in the end.

Hitler-Well in real debating, there is a rule that anyone who says this old name has instantly lose the debate, because, lets face it, calling someone's point, a Hitler ideal has become the debating version of a school bully saying someone has coties or however you spell it. However again that aside, we all know what happened to this oldie and his little dogs too; so lets move on rather than waste more words.

Thatcher, haha, got to love you for bringing this one up because unlike the others, she actually never lost the game so to speak. Well I admit she had her moments which I guess mean you can say she knew politics, but I would say she knew people more than politics. Now the divide here can appear so subtle as to mean that arguing such a thing may make this own debate a little too academic and off track, but I still think it is a fair point to make as the the economic hole she left Britain in with her short-sighted ideals and selling off of important resources showed a rather mundane political mind and her rise to power came not from being a good politician but from a clever ability to pick good socialists to be her aids and a lot of money behind her too.

Finally, here is my real rebuttal of your mundane point, comparing politics and business is like comparing any two abstract idealogical institution's of this thing we call society...stupid! Why? Because they have no physical substance upon which to be judged, so all comparison is merely self-delusion and in true they are different to the core. Business is judged on economic success, these men are economically successful, AKA they can we viewed/judged for our debate which an economic plan evaluation. Politics is judged on many varied and often abstract variables, which are often impossible to quantify, unlike the very quantifiable thing which is economic success. Thus it is impossible to say what is really political success and thus impossible to compare against what is considered economic success. Thus your comparison is redundant and my previous rebuttal was merely done to stroke own ego .

Was going to read your reply Taiwan but decided to read War and Peace instead as it's a lot shorter

Gerald Ratner was a great business man, didn't he make a slight mistake once?

Sinclair C5. DeLorean.

It doesn't take much thinking.

As the old addage goes, he who didn't make a mistake didn't make anything.
