Follow this link! I don’t share all thoughts, but some are certainly interesting and seem to have a foundation. And since this is in English, I thought why not share it with the readers of my blog 😉 // Oliver

Posted on 2008-01-27 by Oliver

Wurdet ihr von den Russen überrannt? US-Präsidentschaftskandidat nennt jedenfalls den deutschen (Bundes-)Präsidenten “Putin”. Glaubt ihr nicht? Hier (englisch!): http://www.chilloutzone.de/files/08012403.html

Laut GMX haben “Sektenexperten” – gemeint der Sektenbeauftragte der evangelischen Kirche in Brandenburg, Thomas Gandow, und der (selbsternannte) Historiker Guido Knopp – Tom Cruise mit Joseph Goebbels, seines Zeichens Propagandaminister der Nazis in den tausend Jahren zwischen 1933 bis 1945 … Continue reading →

Catholic church being ridiculous again

Posted on 2008-01-16 by Oliver

A colleague sent me this link today, after a short discussion during lunch. It shows again how ridiculous the self-proclaimed universal church is. Never mind the criticism of Harry Potter or having it called “satanism” or so. I just don’t … Continue reading →

Wie passend: katholische Streitkultur

Posted on 2008-01-15 by Oliver

Der Herr Lehmann, seines Zeichens Vorsitzender der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz hat sich – so DW-World TV – auch mal getraut mit dem Papst zu diskutieren. Ich sage: das ist Ketzerei. Schließlich hat der Papst dogmatisch immer recht! Diskutieren ist also nichts … Continue reading →

“Demokratische Streitkultur”

Posted on 2008-01-11 by Oliver

Posted on 2008-01-11 by Oliver

Nach den Rechten scheint in Deutschland auch aktiv die Rechte von den C-Parteien in Deutschland demontiert zu werden. “Hessen-Hitler” (O-Ton, Titanic, über Roland Koch) hat schon früher mit ausländerfeindlichen Parolen gepunktet und wird es aller Wahrscheinlichkeit auch diesmal wieder tun. … Continue reading →

Posted on 2008-01-08 by Oliver

Everyone knows John Cleese (keyword: “Monty Python”), but you might not know Kaupþing. It’s a bank, and by chance the bank I have my account with here in Iceland. Now, don’t get me started on the topic of banks, but … Continue reading →

WD MyBook World Edition

Posted on 2008-01-06 by Oliver

I had just bought the WD MyBook World Edition a while ago, since I needed some kind of storage solution that wouldn’t occupy yet another USB/firewire port and could be accessed from different machines at the same time. As such, … Continue reading →
