  • This mortifies europeans of every generation. In Scandinavia you can leave your pram unsupervised outside a café so your child can sleep well in the cool fresh air while you get a coffee and talk to the other parents doing the same. European schoolchildren walk or bike to school from first grade onwards and they can take public transportation all on their own. Our playgrounds would be deemed suicidal by modern american parents and they would freak out knowing children learn to whittle with sharp knives in a waldkindergarten.

    I really don’t know how americans can still believe to be the freest nation when the only freedom index they are not completely outclassed by european nations is the economic freedom index.

    To quote the greatest poet of our time:

    The finger to the land of the chains What? The “land of the free”? Whoever told you that is your enemy.

    Aber zumindest mal keine Minister-Pension:

    Wer mindestens vier Jahre lang Bundesminister war, erhält eine Pension von 4.990 Euro pro Monat.

    Dafür dürfte er einen Pensionsanspruch als MdB haben:

    Pro Jahr der Mitgliedschaft im Bundestag erwirbt ein Abgeordneter einen Pensionsanspruch (Altersentschädigung) von 2,5 Prozent der Abgeordnetenentschädigung

    33 Monate von Oktober 09 bis Juli 12 und 84 Monate seit Oktober 2017, sind 9,75 Jahre, bald 10 Jahre, gäbe ihm 25% der Abgeordnetenentschädigung, also ca. 2800 Euro pro Monat.







  • If baboons and macaques are monkeys, and if howlermonkeys and spidermonkeys are monkeys, humans MUST be monkeys.

    Because they can ONLY both be monkeys if their common ancestor was also a monkey and we share that very same common ancestor. In fact we are closer related to macaques and baboons than to spidermonkeys, which means we share a more recent common ancestor with old world monkeys than both us and the other old world monkeys share with the new world monkeys.

    Cladistically, you can not outgrow your ancestry.

    Humans are apes, apes are a subgroup of monkeys, monkeys are a subgroub of primates.







  • Which drives the partisanisation of the media. Bozo is right about one thing: the trust in media is at an all time low in the US and trust is build through accurate and unbiased reporting. Endorsing politicians is biased as hell.

    The newspapers repudiation of a fascist in dangerous times would hit that much harder had they not endorsed other politicians in less dangerous times.

    So now it’s damned if they do, damned if they don’t… swallow that pill they must at some point. But it would have been an easier pill to swallow after the rule of fascism in the US had been averted.
