There's a reason those periods of anarchy you speak of were short-lived. If there's a vacuum, it will get filled. If you get rid of democracy in favour of anarchy, sooner or later you will end up with another Hitler or Stalin.

Happy Turkey Day! :)

^ What about the police, do you want to privatise that as well? And what happens to those who can't fend for themselves? The poor, the disabled etc.? Survival of the fittest works well in the animal kingdom, but in a human society, not so much ;) At least not in a society I would want to live in.

How's a modern society without taxation and governments supposed to work? :thinking:

First of all, I think Obama is one of the better presidents America has had in recent history. Second, WTF was the Nobel Committee smoking when they decided this was a good idea? He has accomplished nothing to deserve this so far. I can only imagine they are trying to help him to achieve his goals with this, but if anything, this is counterproductive. Fox News and their ilk are gonna have a field day with this.

Zuviel Schlaf kann auch müde machen. Wenn ich mehr als neun Stunden schlafe, dann fühle ich mich den ganzen Tag groggy.

Hallo! :) Hätte ich mal nichts gesagt :rolleyes: Naja, zumindest haben sie gewonnen, die Tabellenspitze wird dann eben am 17.10. zurückerobert ;)

Up 9/10 Loved Dug, the talking dog. "SQUIRREL!" :laugh3:

I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

No. Like I said before, Scars can't be one of the songs written by Chris because it has been around since at least 2007. I know that for sure because she played it live once or twice when she was promoting the Best Of album that came out in 2007. The tracks Chris wrote are Fun and Lukas, and he helped her with Want.

Aber nur bis morgen Abend ;)

Merkel herself isn't that bad. Can't say I care much for the rest of her party, though. Couldn't agree more. What a w*nker :rolleyes:

Wasn't that debunked as a hoax? I think I later read somewhere the father was actually someone older.

Good question ... SPD and CDU have become all but indistinguishable from each other anyway. At least now the SPD has some time to think about itself and where it went wrong.

That's normal for him, he doesn't make any sense when he speaks German, either ;)

Scars has been around for several years, Chris has nothing to do with it. The first time I heard it was in 2007, IIRC.

Try VLC. I've yet to find a video format it won't play ;) http://www.videolan.org/

Fantastic! Dank je wel Stefan! :)

After the problems I had with the bass in Düsseldorf I tried to get rid of the distortions by placing a foam ear plug on the microphone for all but the last two videos. Unfortunately, that didn't work at all, the sound is muffled but the distortions are still there :( Oh well, live and learn. Next time I'm smarter ;)

Really? You must have been standing right next to me, then:stunned: Small world;)

"I'm firing blanks, man" :D

Here's the bit about Jonny's birthday: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_QOXNWmxGI]YouTube - Coldplay - Jonny's Birthday (Nijmegen 10/09/2009)[/ame]

Personally I think the bass at the concert was just right. The problem with all those distorted videos on Youtube is that the tiny, little condenser mics in digital cameras aren't built for the kind of sound volume you find at rock concerts. Next time, I'll cut a foam ear plug in half and strap that in front of the mic holes, maybe that will help ;)
