    Very eye opening indeed. 

  2. I bought two of his books, the first one when I was still at school. I didn't know I had a soft spot for 'nerd' topics back then, that wasn't established as a 'category' yet. So I felt a little awkward and my friends were like 'what are you on about with black holes and white dwarfs???' Anyway, I think I owe him a lot when it comes to appreciate physics and the sciences in general. Because I hated all of it in school but loved it in any other context. 

    He is a truly inspirational man. 

    Rest In Peace 🌹

    If not, how on Earth would we buy shamelessly t-shirts made by overworked and underpaid people from another country?  And when we less expect it,  the overworked and underpaid person is us. And nobody will care. And so on and so on.  

    It's scary and true. People know about the bigger picture but decide to ignore it completely. I am disgusted at all the Primark shoppers in my greater neighborhood at Alexanderplatz, the place itself has become a display of ugly and stupid since the store has opened a couple of years ago. And people are not even ashamed anymore of buying cheap ass clothes, i remember times when you would not want to be seen with a bag of a discount store. Today it's totally accepted to be cheap and greedy and ignorant and to make a bargain any chance you get. We had very damaging campaigns in the early 00s here in Germany (google 'Geiz ist geil') that left such a big mark on all our society, it's hilarious actually. Germanys economy has suffered a lot because of that, there are numerous studies about it. And I still wait for some professional government-funded campaigns to open people's eyes and help turn the tide. Germans are usually very receptive to campaigns, see all the Bio-movement and trash recycling and green thinking, that's mostly based on politics and campaigns.

    I have always shaken my head in disbelief at young women who claim they are anti feminism and wondered if they knew what the women's movement had given them. 

    Yes, it's very unnerving to see young girls being so ignorant without even realizing how privileged they are to even have a voice and a choice! What's even worse are those middle aged women who want women to return into the kitchen and being mothers and quit having careers, because they should know better. It's ok if they think it's right for them, but it's disgusting to run around and demand it from all womanhood and shame others as unfeminine or sluts or careerists or the downfall of occidental society. Sometimes I wish I could just send them back a 150 years for a couple of months to shut them up.

    "honey come over here" OMG 

    i wanna feel sorry for the parents for being exposed/shamed like this (and for the patience with the kid), but the way they handle it is all kinds of wrong. would it be wrong to have stepped up and told the kid to behave? sometimes it's more effective when it's a stranger. im surprised no one at the plane did this

    Yes, no one really steps up anymore because they don't want to get trouble with overprotective and sensitive parents. But I do it all the time tbh. It's also how I was brought up, things were really different back then and we got quite a few rants from strangers. Just recently I was very harsh with a couple of siblings who ran around and spit at other children. First I asked them in a friendly manner to stop, but then I had to get really loud and dominant. They were shocked, but it worked. I still don't know, which one of the grown ups around was there parent.

    Sad but true.  People have now become desensitized. Another day.  Another mass shooting in America.  

    Just as Jazzy said though, that teacher's attitude is part of the problem. It's never the right time to talk about gun control it seems.

    Why is it that America is the only (developed) Country  which these mass shootings constantly happen?  It's horrible that these 17 people, many of whom were kids, were killed. How tragic. When is it gonna stop?

    The problem is the culture.  America has a serious problem and it's time to do more than just "pray" and send "condolences". A lot of evil and sick people here in America.

    Seriously though, what action is being taken? I mean, the NRA is too powerful so don't expect any change in regards to gun control. 

    At least beef up security at all schools. Panic buttons, more security and even metal detectors. If that's what it takes then that's what it takes.

    Just take some action at least.

     

    I agree. Watching from the outside it's all such a disgrace, and the U.S. were always supposed to be leaders. It has become so pathetic and sad as a country. 

    I think you got the teachers statement wrong though. He/she is exactly condemning the phrase 'it's not the right time'. Nothing wrong with the attitude.

    This is so sad.

    But first of all, why did the parents allow such them (9yo/7yo/4yo) to go to beach without any adult?

    I guess it was just different times and from what I understood it was not very far. And they must have been familiar with taking the bus. I used to go to a nearby lake alone all the time, with my bike, as a kid. It's so sad that this is unimaginable nowadays... How will I ever be able to give my kids the space they need? How can you let go with stories like this in mind? It's hard and frightening.

    I love how the world's hatred for Donald Trump (and the US to a lesser extent) is what will ultimately bring South and North Korea together again :lmao:

    You could be right! Imagine if this was his involuntary legacy. He would hate it so much :lol:

  9. Every time I check this thread I see Donald Trump is mad again. 

     

    I almost feel bad for hating his guts because he is clearly demented and has a serious condition. And if it all wasn't so freakishly embarrassing I'd still laugh at the Americans for getting exactly what they deserve with this clown as president. Hubris galore payback.
