Quote of the Day (5)

2007-09-11

.

“We argued enough, we should make it now.”
Interior minister Wolfgang Schäuble about an online search law (source: Handelsblatt/ap; my translation)

What?!? An argument, lots of controversy, no consent – so push it through quickly? What the hell came over him now? [BTW: Is the devil blogging now, too? :) ]

Hey, basically, I don’t mind if the computers of acute suspects are being searched – within the same scope, of course, that applies to wiretapping phones and similar actions now, i.e. on a case-by-case basis and verified and ordered by courts. Or else – in the extreme case – we’ll even have to look for a new anthem, because there may be not much left of “unity and justice and freedom,” which didn’t appear from nowhere, by the way.

Theoblogy

2007-09-11

Apparently, nowadays everyone must have a blog – God has one, too! (He chose to write in German, though.) At least the god of the christians and jews, the others – with the exception of the Flying Spaghetti Monster – are not linked. But maybe that’s to come in the future…

Anyway, it’s nice to read the (funny, interesting, worth reading – if youi speak German, that is) heavenly insights from a being that doesn’t even exist. :devil:

Take a look, unless you’re humorless fundamentalists (well, maybe you should then, especially):

:bow: gottsblog.de [no longer existing].

Duh!

Just for fun, two more results from the numerous Blogthings quizzes (quite hard to find some that are not intended for the girls…) — two for which I wouldn’t have needed the quizzes at all:


You are an Atheist
You Are Very Skeptical


When it comes to religion, you’re a non-believer (simple as that).
You prefer to think about what’s known and proven.
You don’t need religion to solve life’s problems.
Instead, you tend to work things out with logic and philosophy.


Your personal motto is: “Prove it.”
While some ideas, like life after death, may seem nice…
You aren’t going to believe them simply because it feels good.
You let science and facts be your guide… Even if it means you don’t share the beliefs of those around you.
What’s Your Religious Philosophy? How Skeptical Are You?

Blog Parade CD Memories

2007-09-06

BP 25 Jahre CDI almost forgot that I wanted to participate in this (German) blog parade from 49 Suns – well, it’s a suitable day, though one sun would be enough now…

:musik: So these silver discs exist for 25 years now, their size allegedly caused by the duration of Beethoven’s Ninth… among my first CDs in spring 1989 were some House/Sample Beats works à la Hithouse, House Sound of Chicago etc. – yes, I used to listen to things like that at that time, and my first double CD sampler “Blastmaster Radio: The Best of the Sample Beats” is still one of my favorites in this(!) genre; there are, however, also some that belong among the most embarrassing CDs, and I’m moving in the vast field of rock for quite some time now, anyway…

:rocks: But also Queen used to be on my CD shelf back then, and I was glad that CDs show no wear like vinyl (by the way, I didn’t even have a record player then) or especially tapes, because the “I Want It All” maxi CD was playing veeeery often. And though I can’t pick a single one as my favorite CD, my extensive Queen CD collection – maxi, album, live, bootlegs, promo, cover; group and solo – is certainly the most dearest in my CD cabinet. It includes some gems that are among the rarest CDs of Queen & solo: maxi CDs from The Cross (Queen drummer Roger Taylor’s solo project), some of which I got for just 1-2 DM in a second-hand store, one of which, however, I later spent over 100 DM Euro for…

And today? Thanks to Rockantenne, I don’t even have much time to listen to CDs at all. :tongue:

(General note, by the way: it’s CDs, not CD’s!)

Update: JuliaL49 has evaluated the posts of the 19 participants and also listed all the mentioned CDs.
