The birth of legends

The birth of legends

  • My most favorite topic this week is the evidence of propaganda that pops up everywhere. The web can work both ways: Spreading the propaganda or giving the other side. However, the truth will be less true and the lies will be less wrong when all this comes to a conclusion.

  • A cool site is linked to from the Heise pages: http://www.snopes2.com/rumors/rumors.htm

    I did not even hear some of those rumors before...

  • The trend to a strong, forceful, violent reaction to crime has catapulted extremist Schill into the Hamburg city government. This guy is Germany´s George Bush squared. I think the latin phrase is something like: "In dubio contra reo" (If in doubt, kill the suspect).

  • I can´t believe how this crisis is bringing the worst out in people. I can understand when people are scared. But Jesus! Dave is in favour of dropping nukes on Bagdad to show them and the US´s allies who´s boss. Dave, you need to stop this and get a grip on yourself.

  • America still is a super power. But it is not their world alone. Remember: only one out of 27 people on this earth are US citizens. Their lives will not be good when they have the other 26 against them.

  • More FUD? Are the gas prices going up (as my girlfriend´s daughter who is in Texas claims) or down (as CNN claims)?
