Update

Eh, how about a few updates about Haarde's illness and the election call...? —Nightstallion 00:34, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pepper spray / tear gas

"with pepper spray before using the tear gas" ? According to Wikipedia, pepper spray IS a tear gas. Nicolas1981 (talk) 14:55, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In general, Lachrymatory agents do include "pepper spray", but it is usually delivered as a liquid, not a gas. "Tear gas" is sually CS gas.--Cerejota (talk) 18:12, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Motivations

I think the article could use some more back ground information. Citing the current economic crisis is pretty vague. The economic crisis is everywhere, but riots haven't broken out in New York or London. Why has the response in Iceland been so violent? -ErinHowarth (talk) 20:08, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it's because the kroner is now as valuable as the Confederate dollar. The U.S. dollar and the pound sterling haven't collapsed in the international market (yet). A mention of this in the introduction is probably warranted, rather than just a link to the Icelandic financial crisis. I'll see what I can do.

Yes, if the kroner has so little value that would indicate a great deal of suffering. Almost no one would be able to buy food or heat. I think conditions were like that in Germany before the Second World War. -ErinHowarth (talk) 03:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
