You never saw an abstract? It´s absurd that it does not disturb you when a priviledged group of people can snoop on you and everybody else at will, plus you pay a tax to finance this group of people. No, I did not say Obama´s race "has to do with it". Can you generalize a little more? I...

On a more personal note, the son of my girlfriend, 8 years old, recently told me in the tram I can "suck his dick". I replied "your behavior is very impertinent today". He grinned and said "yes I know". (of course he could only afford that because mama did not hear it). My reaction was to...

Pearl said its better not to intervene. The child could be seriously injured or even killed at home with abusive parents, but for Pearl we should be careful because who knows how violent the parents are. A society that allows its children to be beaten is ill. It is criminal to injure a child...

Irvine511 is ready to give up a modicum of privacy because he lives in Washington. BVS says we shouldn´t complain because we invited this ourselves by opening email accounts. Deep thinks its tolerable because the world ain´t perfect. Pearl says people who expose a government spying on its...

When Prism and Boundless Informant were leaked, Obama, Alexander et al implied that the surveillance systems were only - or mainly - used for targeting terrorists, legally authorized by a secret court. This revelation is proof that the U.S. President and the Head of the NSA lied again and...

I´m not, I knew who financed his campaign. But a lot of his African American voters must be disappointed; many expected an African American to be a better President than Bush. Here´s an update: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/jun/16/gchq-intercepted-communications-g20-summits "There have...

mama cass, I guess there are many interested readers on this topic, but everyone´s afraid to comment. Obama´s interpretation of free speech. The NSA leaks are not surprising, rumors have been around since 5 years when they found the NSA room right at a Tier-1, methinks it was the AT&T...

I thought Murdoch makes the big money with Hollywood movies, not with the bloody UK tabloids?

So finally I will do it. I´ve been waiting for a decade... it is time for Africa. I will go to Tanzania, Zanzibar and Kenya. We skipped Uganda because of political unrest there and Ebola Vrius has been around. And I will not pass Ethiopia and Mocambique which are high on my list. But I just...

Amazing you have seen this independent movie, it´s written and directed by an Austrian. I dealt with one of the producers of the movie, Antonin. He´s a pain in the ass when doing business. Anyway, most movie producers are assholes. Aside from that, a nice guy, he gave me the DVD of Darwin´s...

A book by Hank Bordowitz, a friend of mine who wrote a lot of music books, including one about U2. He gives it away as an e-book for free! Enjoy the read, feedback won´t hurt! http://fairplayformusic.com/xmasbonus/DirtyLittleSecretsOfTheRecordBusinessWhySoMuchMusicYouHearSucks.pdf

Intersting stats, yolland! Just to clarify, Strasser was former interior ministry from Austria. Later he went to the EU parliament where his lobbying activities were proved by an investigative journalist. Excuse the quick hijack, but it might be entertaining.. watch it here (btw he´s not...

Exactly. I am concerned too. Berlusconi is another special case. Just two weeks ago I had the chance to speak to Giancarlo Caselli, one of the leading prosecutors in Italy who told me of "Lex Berlusconi", equivalent to special laws the Italian parliament passed so Berlusconi couldn´t be brought...

The far right frightens me too. But keep in mind it is not the far right thats in power currently. Neither in Austria, nor in France. It´s not Strache or Le Pen, the ghost always painted on the walls, it is the policies of the established medium right conservative parties at work. Strache is not...

Very true. A lot of European countries are downright racist. The EU has Frontex, a police border agency that regularly breaks human rights. I have been involved in meetings pro asylum seekers. The problem with that is that in our kafkaesque little country Austria people who defend asylum seekers...

I just reserved 4 weeks of holidays at Betty Ford Center for the whole band! :hyper:

I heard you fart. Seconds later, three indian ocean dolphins died because of you. It´s called butterfly effect.

Ah, the Bible of Capitalism in practice, Verse 1.

"Countries like Russia experience what Rice called “the resource curse” — a phenomenon that occurs when oil exporters avoid diversifying their economies.
