Seriously? Religion it's a mechanism to control the masses. Don't be one of them, I know, it's so cozy and easy to project all on that, but sadly you have to think for yourself and take responsibility for your life, alone, no "god" or religion can and will set you free of that and it's not a bad thing, just think positive of that fact and it's not that hard anymore. I don't say : don't search for spiritual fulfilment, just stay independent in your thinking, don't let anybody talk you into guilt, there is no hell, you decide, what you do or you don't do. And animals - please. Nature takes care of itself, far faaaar longer as any one ever invented a "god" to cope with reality. We all die, that doesn't make life any less precious. Since billions of years, everywhere in the universe. We are living on this insignificant pebble called earth and for thousands of years religion didn't contribute to peace, less wars or better distribution of wealth, actually it contributed to the opposite, because it's so simple to exploit for the powerful. Please, from one human being too the next, think for yourself, do good without the feeling you have to because someone or an old book says so, and very much not out of guilt.
Edit: everybody can vote something down or make a joke, how about sacrificing 5 minutes of your day for a little talk to maybe, just maybe, change something?
I don't either, but the front and back are the Wildenstein brothers (only one is still alive), billionaires, art dealers, tax evader and crooked business people par excellence.
Ha! I don't believe a word. That's clearly a short statued person besides it (our parents called them "dwarves" and fought at their side, with pencil and dice)
"I stopped taking the medication because they kill all creativity I had and the shitty health system refuses to give me a different one" - one story I've heard so far. I'm not saying it's bad, don't get me wrong, I'm saying every patient is different and they shouldn't be pressed in drawers made by the pharmaceutical industry. Take your meds, if you can.
Banning religious symbols in school is one thing, but banning what people can wear is an assault on privacy. So is forcing people to wear things, directly or through religious brainwashing with imaginary "gods".
Sad that it needs an "image event" to clean a river.
I don't have a solution for this catastrophic injustice all over the world, but we - as in we humans - have to chlose down these inhumane shadows like north Korea or other nations killing people for expressing their opinion. That has to stop. We have to go the way to overcome that concept of closed nations completely, we're all on an insignificant pebble in the dark & mankind has to grow up at last, from the ego-driven toddler at least to a plagued teenager iykwim.
Who decides, what's "similar to hate speech"? When I burn my property? That's a slippery slope there. Respect is important, but when the intolerant demand respect with threats, that's blackmail.
She's right. One thing though: here in Germany it's a bit different. They need money too, yes, they listen to the corporate overlords too, but for another reason: they do anything - and I mean ANY thing - to get more votes. No, that's not a good thing. For example: they do rather nothing than lose votes. Parties like the ultra right AFD are prospering by appealing to the lowest instincts and fears. But many people vote for them because they think, they will change stuff because nobody does. And that's only one thing, I could go on and on. What I'm saying is that the problem is even deeper, the tyranny of the majority works both ways, and politicians and citizens both lose. Only the rich will find a way, every time, to exploit the system, because it's actually easy. A child could do that. Ok, a manipulative asshole child could do this. I don't have a solution, I've got some ideas, but so has everyone, right?! The thing is: we, as in WE ALL HUMAN BEINGS, have to take responsibility not only for us, for our fellow people too, neighbors, society, etc. Not with the morale of law, religion or obligation or duty, with human sense. And if you think this through that means that nations, as we know them, have to change. We live on one insignificant pebble in the dark nothing, we, as mankind, have to grow up a bit, from the ego-driven early childhood, we're in, at least to early teenagers. With all that comes with it. Money has to take second or third place after humanity, empathy and common sense. Education for all. Making it impossible for individuals to amass billions. And this change can only come from within everyone of us. Is somebody full of hate, it's almost every time fear.
A tower. I'm dreaming of it since I was a child and it's weirdly specific, made from wood with a stone base to the first floor, and the roof has a mechanism to unfold a 1-person balcony. It's not to be above other people, it's more like a "I'm seeing everything but I'm safe and only I can decide who's getting in my tower" -thing. Plus: I love wind and fresh air and hate the feeling of being underground or even trapped in a box. Would base jump and day, but would not set a foot into an underground mine if you give me a million dollars. Some day I'll have a tower... Actually waiting for the land prices around here to fall a bit to buy building ground, no joke. Don't know if my wife says yes to doubling the house building money for a meager tower though, lol
