myLot Discussions on New German Shepherd Caution Sign| So now you can expect a full body scan at the airport? Not so fast! | | In the light of last week's incident on the flight between Detroit and Amsterdam, airports are rushing forward plans to instal full-body scanners, as the traditional metal detectors cannot pick out PETN (the explosive carried by the young Nigerian terrorist), as it is not metallic?Well the technology is still controversial[em]confused[/em]. Large numbers of women's movements in various countries round the world still regard the technology as disgustingly intrusive[em]thumbdown[/em].If what I read on Yahoo News this week is correct, the technology would run foul of the Child Pornography laws in the UK, so it could not be used on anyone under 18. And when you remember that there have been suicide bombers aged 16 in certain countries .... And if it breaks the Child Pornography laws with minors, doesn't that also imply that it is pornographic where adults are concerned?Then there was the statement from the German government yesterday. As regular readers will realise, I am a foreign national living in Germany, and that I am no great fan of the new German government coalition[em]cry[/em] (previously I have limited my criticism though to their ridiculous economic package... | |
| | Finding mt friends@family | | Ever since my auny@uncle were here I've been a little home sick. It always happens after a visit[em]sad[/em]. I found this New German site my uncle was telling me about and found 2 of my cousins and 1 of my friends from over 30 years ago. I have a little problem finding my girl friends course they all got married and have a different last name. I keep trying though. I feel a little bit closer to home being able to look at there site and check out there pictures and see what they been up to.
What do you do to feel closer to home when you're so far away?[em]rasp[/em]here was the statement from the German government yesterday. As regular readers will realise, I am a foreign national living in Germany, and that I am no great fan of the new German government coalition[em]cry[/em] (previously I have limited my criticism though to their ridiculous economic package - which puts me in company with most of the economic pundits here).Yesterday they announced that scanners will come. They will start testing (not installing) them in June 2010. Realise that Frankfurt has one of the four busiest airports in Europe. What happens till then? And if a maniac... | |
| | I want a dog, but my mom refuse to have it now... | | Okay, so the deal is that my last dog died a few years ago and it was a really hard time for us after 10 years of working hard to raise her. Currently I am living at home, and both me and my dad (and one of my sisters) want a new german dog. However, my mom refuse to have it because we have a baby at home and my other sister refuse it until she finish school (one year from now) because it takes lots of effort to raise it.
I REALLY want a dog, and I keep having dreams of having a new dog because of it... Can you advice me what to say to my mom so I can convince her to agree to having a dog? please reply if you do... thankes. | |
| | luxury consumption. welcome | |
since i am stilla postgraduate without much disposable money.but i usually blame him for spending too much money and ask him tobe more thrifty.
i seldom buy luxury items\however.
i never feel sad
i usually sop online to search some accesseries which are real bargains
and all my friends said the things i bought online were very lonely
my luxury items items are all sent by my boy friend
such as an new german piano
a longines, several bottles of perfume and sets of skill
i appreciate his giftsm
my roommates alway beleive that my consumption is the abnormal among my classmates
because i always uya few thigns and use a lot nmoney
actually i do not know where the money has gone
and i do not knoe how to buy the adequate things
so i always abandon the realtively new things and then get the new
i think this is the luxury consumption
nothing is the most expensive for me
because oi do not know whether the price is reasonable or not.
it is really depedns on what kind of person you are
people have different coinsumptoin direction
a year ago
a friedn of mine has bought a pair of sunglass of gucci, even during the big sale
cost more than 2000 yuan.
as i say i would rather... | |
| | Why I fell out of love with my Country South Africa | | I have received several messages from my friends asking me why I no longer feel patriotic towards my country. I thought instead of me rambling on without the writers touch it is best said in the words of Rory Carroll, one of my favorite journalists and columnists. It is a bit of a long one, but I hope it will be worth your effort."How I never quite fell for South Africa""Rory Carroll is leaving the country after four years as our man in Johannesburg. Here he tries to unpick why such a beautiful, complex, vibrant nation ended up leaving him cold.

The Guardian""It was an interesting few years. I was mugged, burgled and branded a liar. I betrayed the confidence of someone with HIV and chased a stranger in the hope of stabbing him. I listened to people moan from want of medicine while the wind howled through their shacks. I watched the country inch closer to a one-party state, and that party slide into scandal and crisis. I would like to say I fell in love with South Africa. But I didn't.
After almost four years in Johannesburg, the time has come to move on, and I do so with a sense of detachment. This never really became home. Partly it was running to the... | |
| | Comments Heard in the Coffee Houses of the 40s... | | ~We were bombed by Japan, what are we doing in Europe?~There is no proof that Hitler is working on some utlimate bomb that destroys whole cities.~There is no proof that Hitler is running these so-called "death camps".~What! No bid contracts with Coca-Cola to supply their products to our troops? NO BLOOD FOR COCA COLA!~Of course THEY are targeting civilians, THEY'RE NAZIs! To keep the moral high ground, we should be careful not to kill any.~Are our troops really holding European's prisoner without lawyers or their day in court? Constitutional rights should extend to everyone!~After the Battle of the Bulge there is no way we can win this war.~Germany was NEVER a threat to the US!~The new German government has to stand on its own, BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!~Why are our troops expected to drive around in those little jeeps with no armor?~3 year rotations is too long, our troops are tired of this war!~American combat deaths have reached the 100,000 milestone...

| | Legal move | | The European Commission launched legal action against Germany yesterday over a new German telecommunications law which EU regulators fear will give Deutsche Telekom an unfair advantage over its rivals. The European Commission has given Berlin 15 days to respond to its formal warning, the first step of legal action under "fast-track" procedures, instead of the usual two months. | |
