And meanwhile Europe ...

... is burning.

Some info:
http://world.time.com/2012/11/13/europe ... austerity/

I have been there (yup, nadir-the-nerd left the basement ... strange enough. No idea why the media didn't report that as the main news. As if it would happen everyday),
but in Germany the protests have been very lame (750 people in my home town).

In Portugal there were the biggest protests since the revolution (it was said):

I've been at a protest in Portugal, per coincidence, and that _is_ a protest. No shitting.
Spain and Italy seem to have been hot too. I heard nothing about Greek yet. France neither. Lots of protests were announced (way more than in other countries).

Oh, and i watched "V like Vendetta".
Funny.
I also watched We.Are.Legion. Interesting (really, not that romantic stuff, really interesting):

(gets removed all the time. If so, but you are really interested, i got links to get it):
There opinion does no longer matter, cause someone out there in the internet is kicking ass.


blah-blah-blah-beginning-is-near-blah-blah-legion-blah-blah-forgive-and-don't-forget-foobar-blah-blah ... you got the idea (aka I trust the 99 just as far as i can throw them).

Perhaps i will join the pirate party. Not sure. I don't like humans. In general.

This was just a bit of personal diary. Not a discussion or such. Things i am interested in (besides computing). If i start a discussion with Dean (about the subject) it won't end well ... like in "fish swim in water" (I am not against such a discussion. Of curse not. But i doubt we will get more far than last time ...).
So i herd u liek mudkip?

Oh, yeah, that sounds right. But i do recall something about fish, and that they do swim in water. No clue how to insert that into a sheep-talk. Bad teeth and fish? Seems to fit.

Oh, while smoking a ciggarette before hitting "submit" another thing came to my mind
(thinking about the differences between the popu of USA and the popu of Europe): I watched JFK too (the hollywood thing). I have thought for quite a while that governments are the wrong targets and that the military-industriel-complex is the main actor, behind the scenes. That film has convinced me of it, more or less (though it is only a hollywood thing).

k, nuff of that boring stuff. Back to the sheep (at least they don't complain about bad teeths).
