Of course I'm hoping that they succeed. But I see no reason to kid myself into believing that there is a high probability that this will work. Since I'm living in Münster, where a lot of the German Pirates are and know quite a f

Why is everyone fretting about US citizens? a) Thinking the NSA and other intelligence organizations would really make the distinction between US and non-US citizens, except in the scope that public opinion doesn't instantly crush them

If the respective pirate parties put in enough of an effort, informing the public, organizing protests, petitioning local and EU authorities and so forth they might get some of this through. I still think that even then it would be unlikely

Actually I want a cooperative anarchy with localized institutions that are publicly controlled and from which anybody can opt out in some way.

No, they need a full range of policies if they are to get people to vote for them. Otherwise, people will say "I agree with you on X, but other policies are more important to me, so I won't be voting for you." It just see

Isn't the NY Post regularly 'speaking out' on behalf of homeopathy? I think they even had a post about how you should be an anti-vaccer if you're a parent or some bullshit like that…

At least in Germany a lot of people have become disillusioned by the (german) Pirate Party. They seem to have degraded into a mix of ridiculous infighting and traditional political party stuff. I'd much rather see them to push for just

I'd say that culture is a much more powerful agent of change than traditional political work could ever be. Politicians can act as scribes and put down into legislation a part of the cultural ethos, but they don't do much in the w

IMHO "Very Short Reply Expected" makes it sound like an answer longer than ~5 words is not welcome. I think it ought to be more inclusive so that in case there is more to say you still feel welcome to do so. Maybe something like SRW for "Sh

My thoughts exactly. But if there is no systematic or other error in her research and there are health-impacts for humans, too then we better get up to snuff and look for a solution to make our food healthier. Also even conventional farming

Just for the record (pun totally intended): I fucking hate it when at a party/rave/concert everybody and their damned mother is standing around recording everything. Especially on the dancefloor. Especially especially if they then are all l

I can second that. I've been working 30 hour weeks since last year and am more balanced and relaxed since then. Working less also helped me downsize my depression and (as of lately) procrastinatory tendencies. It also gives me more energy t

I really, really like the logo. Most companies today don't go through the effort of coming up with a good one (or with one at all), but yours does it's job very well. But yeah, the fade effect ought to go; Would be nice if it only happens t

I don't think we need a spiritual element in our life, rather a "knowledge", concept or other form of understanding of what our place in the world/universe is. But even with that I can't speak for everyone. What is nice about churches are r

With child rape scandals I was merely referring to the wording "sex scandals", which seemed very euphemistic. With the churches/religion dying I mean that atheists are the fastest growing 'camp' concerning religion. The catholic church migh
