Marokko: Das Forum Freies Denken verurteilt die königliche Begnadigung des spanischen Pädophilen.

In the con­text of the pop­u­lar denounce­ment, of the roy­al par­don of the Span­ish crim­i­nal con­vict­ed for rap­ing 11 Moroc­can chil­dren, and after exam­i­na­tion of the mat­ter from a glob­al per­spec­tive, by the free thought forum, the lat­er declares to the peo­ple of Moroc­co and every­where else:

Its sup­port to the fam­i­lies of the vic­tims and all Moroc­cans, and joins all free voic­es that had con­demned the par­don, and con­sid­ered it an insult to the dig­ni­ty of Moroc­can citizens.

The free thought forum also calls every­one to take their moral and polit­i­cal respon­si­bil­i­ty, and denun­ci­ates the dec­la­ra­tions of the “Islamist” gov­ern­ment attempt­ing to jus­ti­fy that wrong deci­sion, using lame pre­texts deep­en the insult inflict­ed upon the feel­ings of Moroc­cans, such as “nation­al inter­est” and “diplo­mat­ic complement”.

The forum strong­ly con­demns the sav­age repres­sion of the demon­stra­tors who took it to the streets to express their refusal of the afore­men­tioned par­don, which goes against all nation­al and inter­na­tion­al treaties and laws, grant­i­ng them free­dom of expres­sion and difference.

N.B. It’s worth not­ing that the Free Thought Forum is a civ­il orga­ni­za­tion found­ed by Moroc­can aca­d­e­mics, intel­lec­tu­als, artists, writ­ers, pro­fes­sors, jour­nal­ists, human rights activists, and lawyers to oppose tute­lage and author­i­tar­i­an­ism in all forms.

Frieden bedingt Liebe

Who does­n’t live in piece with him­self can’t love — who loves, can’t quarrel.
We need to fight for love and about love. Who mis­takes fight­ing with quar­rel­ing won’t find love and peace.

As long as there is quar­rel­ing about love in this world, there can’t be no piece.
With­out love, the human being is emp­ty. Emp­ty peo­ple quar­rel. Fill peo­ple with love, then you don’t have to wor­ry about peace anymore!

Deutsche Firma entwickelt starke Handybatterie mit einer Lebensdauer von 20 Jahren

The youth sec­tor is what makes up the largest pop­u­la­tion of inter­net users. Accord­ing to the lat­est study by Yahoo! and ad agency Carat Inter­ac­tive, teens and young adults choose to go online rather than watch tele­vi­sion or talk on the phone. The study, which was enti­tled Born to be Wired, found out that peo­ple aged 13 to 24 spend an aver­age of 16.7 hours a week online, exclud­ing e‑mail. Most of the gad­gets that teens use are lap­tops and mobile com­put­ers. The trend is expect­ed to go up and if that hap­pens, expect to hear clam­our for longer-last­ing bat­tery. The biggest hin­drance for any­one who wants to be in front of their lap­tops or mobile com­put­ers is the gad­gets’ bat­ter­ies. And a Ger­many com­pa­ny might just have found a solu­tion to this peren­ni­al problem.

Come 2015, teens will have more time on the inter­net, any­time and any­where they want. Ger­man indus­tri­al firm Youni­cos and renew­able pow­er util­i­ty com­pa­ny Wemag AG has recent­ly signed an agree­ment that will put up a 5 MW lithi­um-ion bat­tery park in West Meck­len­burg. The bat­ter­ies will be sup­plied by Sam­sung SDI and each unit will come with 20-year guar­an­tee. For starters, lithi­um-ion is a type of recharge­able bat­tery that is com­mon on portable gad­gets. This includes smart­phones and lap­tops. The first batch of the bat­ter­ies is expect­ed to be fin­ished by 2014 and among the firsts that will have them are peo­ple from Schw­erin.
With a 20-year guar­an­tee on your bat­tery, no need to wor­ry if the gad­get over­heats. You will be able to do your thing as long as you want to. You can play World of War­craft, pok­er, Assassin’s Creed or oth­er com­pelling video games all day. Video gam­ing is one of the biggest rea­sons why teens are locked on com­put­ers. One of the games that peo­ple (most­ly young adults) play on mobile com­put­ers is pok­er. The online ver­sion of the card game has this imper­a­tive effect that is also felt on RPGs. Pok­er games on web­sites like par­ty­pok­er are nat­u­ral­ly excit­ing and fun that some peo­ple don’t notice they have been in the game for five straight hours. There are also web­sites that offer tour­na­ments that give peo­ple the chance to qual­i­fy for big pok­er stages name­ly the Euro­pean Pok­er Tour, World Series of Pok­er, and World Pok­er Tour. Some of these tour­na­ments fol­low a marathon for­mat that can last for up to 24 hours.

Aside from the inter­net users, anoth­er par­ty that will ben­e­fit on the Li-on deal is Sam­sung. There’s a big bat­tle on smart­phones. Philip Hierse­men­zel from the said Ger­man firm said that “Sam­sung SDI’s 20-year guar­an­tee will be the game chang­er” and that it will make the com­pa­ny more “bank­able.”

Wer wagt den Selbstcheck?

My def­i­n­i­tion of an ide­o­log­i­cal or reli­gios fun­da­men­tal­ist (or the one of Thomas Binder)
(1 out of 5 cri­te­ria is enough):

  1. Who sees his “truth” as the absolute and only one pos­si­ble and right.
  2. Who sees mem­bers of his “group” as a pri­ori bet­ter peo­ple than mem­bers of oth­er “groups”.
  3. Who accepts a sig­nif­i­cant restric­tion of the free­dom of oth­ers for win­ning his own freedom.
  4. Who wants to put laws giv­en by his leader / prophet / “God” over the (human made) legal laws.
  5. Who can’t (also) laugh about him­self and about his leader / prophet / “God”.
