Blog postWhen a Christian kills someone, is Christianity to blame? And when a Muslim kills someone? Or you do? So why do people keep blaming just one single religion? I don't have the answer to that question. But maybe you do. What I do know is that a grandfather wants to know why his - American! - grandson was killed in a drone attack in Yemen. Listen to his story to find out why you never heard about

Blog postIf we want our children's children to even have a chance of living the life we live, we have to start acting yesterday. Right now we're depleting the planet of resources faster than Mother Nature can replenish. And that's a bad thing. Read this article http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/

Blog postIn Germany some 35% of all used energy is renewable. And that percentage is rising rapidly. Even despite Donald Trump's efforts to make people deny climate change and support his friends in the oil industry. Renewable energy will be the cheapest form of power in almost every country by 2020, analysts claim (click) Countries like Iceland and Costa Rica are taking the lead in creating a healthier

Blog postIn increasingly larger parts of the world people are allowed to be who they are. And that's a good thing. The number of people who wish others would act like they do is declining. A good example is the LGBTQ-movement: in more and more countries people are allowed to marry someone of the same sex. However, it will be a long time ahead in the future before non-white, not straight, not handicapped

Blog postWho decides who's to live and who's to die? Doctors? Politicians? God? Some countries urge women to have their child aborted when it's discovered the unborn fruit has Down Syndrome. As if that's a bad thing. People with Down Syndrome have a chromosome more than 'normal' people. But what's 'normal'? If 'normal' is defined as 'like most people', according to certain governments and thousands of

Blog postThe official purpose of military intervention is 'to protect civilian lives at any cost'. Does that mean literally thousands of civilians should perish as 'collateral damage' when bombin a handful of enemy combatants who plan to kill a few dozen civilians? Of course not. But if the cure is worse than the plague? Much, much worse? Shouldn't the attacks be reconsidered? https://www.nytimes.com/

Blog postIf people are treated like [CENSORED], they will act accordingly. But there are still people out there who apparently think that if a person is treated badly, that person will turn to becoming the nicest person imaginable. As if people will stop using violence if you hit them hard on their nose. Or blow up their kids. Maybe you have a really good reason to mistreat a person. Most obviously

Blog postIt is said the rich steal more from the poor than vice versa. What is true of that claim? Here are the figures: http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2017/06/daily-chart?fsrc=scn/tw/te/bl/ed/ This study was performed in Scandinavia and shows the ultra-wealthy don't pay 30% of all the taxes they owe. Makes you wonder what that number is in other countries. What do you think? Here a

Blog post'Yeah, but some Jews protested violently against the Nazi's so both sides are to blame for all the violence in Nazi Germany', is basically what an American president said when a white supremacist in Charlottesville ran over peaceful counter-protestors with his car, injuring 19 people and killing one. http://edition.cnn.com/2017/08/13/us/charlottesville-heather-heyer-profile/index.html 32 Year

Blog postFor some reason we have polluted our planet for years and years. As if we didn't care what happened to it. But it's starting to look like we do. And maybe, just maybe it's not too late to do something to make this planet a better place for our children's children. I think we owe it to them. We made a mess and we should clean it up. Cleaning up oil spills is one thing but how about stop

Blog postI find it hard to imagine there are people who would like to see other people being 'put away' simply because those other people are different. If I'd think they could read texts containing more than 140 characters I would urge them to read the story of the now 92 years old Ed Mosberg, who keeps the memory of the concentration camps very much alive: http://www.independent.co.uk/

Blog postReading this via Facebook? Click this link (click) for a better lay out and to see all pictures. Some people argue only foreigners commit crimes and therefore walls and fences should be erected to keep out every single foreigner. That tactic won't work. See, we all are foreigners to people from other countries so basically we should shut out ourselves. Which is quit impossible. Hungary may try.

Blog postWhen you say you want 'more democracy', what exactly do you mean? Do you want a system in which elected people compare notes, take into consideration wishes from every corner of the country and from every group of people living in it? Or do you want 'the voice of the people' to be heard at every 'important' decision by way of referenda? If so, who decides what's 'important'? In other words: do

Blog postOriginally the planet (and all of its resources) belonged to all of us. One day a few people decided they were entitled to owe more than others. Until this day nobody knows why. From that day people had to work harder than others, just so they could have a little piece of what someone else had. Simply put: we used to work four ours a day to pick some fruit and catch a rabbit. Now we had to work

Blog postThe USA seems to be in a constant fight with countries in the Middle East. Mainly because those countries are muslim nations that treat women badly, oppress their civilians and so forth. Right? The single most extreme muslim country is Saudi Arabia. Women are not allowed to even drive! On top of that, the country is known to support terrorist organisation Al Qaida. So why is it that nobody seems

Blog postIs president Donald Trump a dictator? Is his regime a fascist regime? Fact is his administration just published private details on numerous of oppononts of his policies. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/07/15/white_house_publishes_names_emails_phone_numbers_home_addresses_of_critics.html Giving Trump-supporters every means to 'deal' with people who claim Trump supporters are mostly

Blog postCan we travel in time? There are people who claim there's evidence of timetravel but 'they' don't want us to know. Complications aside (going back in time and killing your own grandfather before he meets your grandmother so you won't be born and thus can't travel back in time to kill you own grandfather): do you think it will ever be possible to travel back in time? The story about the

Blog postPersonally I don't believe in most conspiracy theories. However I dó believe there are conspiracies. And lots of them too. Where ever there are groups of people, people bond to form a block agains other (groups of) people. It's simply the nature of things. Here's one I made up that could explain a lot: What if big oil companies and people in high places in governments conspire to pollute the air

Blog postDonald Trump says he is convinced that Climate Change is a hoax, invented by 'the Chinese' in an effort to hit the American economy. But what's the real reason Donald Trump wants America to pull out the Paris Climate Agreement? Could it have to do with the 22 senators who urged their president to withdraw? And who just happen to make a lot of money in the fossil fuel business? Coincidence. Of

Blog postEvery year around 98,000 people die of medical mistakes that could be easily prevented. In America alone! So forget terrorists. When it comes down to killing civilians doctors and nurses do a much better job. Thing is - although some find it hard to believe - doctors and nurses are people. People get tired, cranky, distracted. In short: people make mistakes. And imagine yourself being a surgeon

Blog postWhat if then president Obama had told the CIA they are just a bunch of Nazi's? And when literally confronted with the highest ranking people in the intelligence agency a few days later simply state: 'When I said that, I meant the complete opposite. Of course!' I think Donald Trump would have said some harsh words directed at Barack Obama. What do you think? Do you - like Trump's son Eric - that

Blog postWhen a Muslim conducts a terrorist act that is proof all Muslims are basically terrorists! Right? No. Wrong. Very wrong. When a man killed five people at an Orlando airport a lot of people simply assumed it was a Muslim terrorist attack. When it became clear the killer was not a Muslim he suddenly turned into 'a troubled young man'. Same thing in Melbourne when a man drove his car deliberately

Blog postRules should apply to everyone and always! Yes? Apparently not. Most people can't get away with stealing 100 dollars. Yet others easily get away with stealing millions. It's illegal to kill an other person. Let alone if that person is unarmed and severely wounded. Unless the one pulling the trigger is an Israeli soldier (click) and the victim is a Palestinian who minutes before stabbed an Israeli

Blog postWith all the negativity going around it's sometimes hard to see there's a lot of great people out there, doing their utmost to make other people's lives less hard. The invention of Loopwheels is just one example but for those who are willing to see it there's a lot more good news out there. Do you know of something worth the mention? Let me know in the comments section! =====================

Blog postIt's hard to make people understand what I mean by 'Is it okay to take away freedom in order to preserve freedom?' and 'If we're serious about having freedom, why do we take it for granted our freedom is being taken away from us and we applaud the people who do that?' So I've come up with these (click to enlarge) so called 'Lolcats': So what do you think? Are you truly free?
