and an edit button

and polls and smileys

btw: shev... who will you vote for next week?

huh

a minute ago, I posted something here...

well... I'll ask again:

btw shev, who will you vote for next week?

he's gone for good?:D cheers

hm moon, let me think... my options are

CDU - a conservative party, who always claims have the best way of doing things, but never cares to explain how to achieve their goals. They prefer populism over reasonable debates and most of their political decisions are influenced by lobbyists. Furthermore they are favoured by a major part of the german media(springerpresse), which kills the possibility of a democratic competition based on facts and ideas. so a vote from me for the CDU is as likely as you winning a month moon ;)

SPD - this party suffers most from the onesided commentatorship of the media, but instead of keeping up their spirit of honesty and rationality they try to adapt to the public opinion, which apparently doesnt work so well. even though parts of their program are good, i couldnt vote for a party that brought the 'Abwrackprämie' on the way. i was so fucking upset about this nonsense.

FDP - we are in the middle of a financial crisis caused by a system they promote and yet the polls show a dramatic increase in supporters for this party. they drive a very clever campaign touching no controversial topic and relying solely on the fact that people are fed up with the grand coalition. they dont say a single word about how wrong they were all these years with their neoliberal ideology and as far as i know they still believe its the best economic system. how much more ignorant can you be about current events.

Linkspartei - well what can i say, they might be the new left wing german party since the SPD moved towards the middle, but they fail to seperate themselves clearly from the SED. still a bunch of GDR stasi faggots find shelter in high positions in this party. This is very problematic especially for Leipzig 20 years after the peaceful revolution. however i do respect them as the voice of all people that are unemployed or mentally retarded.

Die Grünen - 30 years ago, when they were founded, they were right. And they were right ever since about environmental protection and sustainability. and now that everyone finally grasps that global warming isnt a myth, they kind of lost their drive. they would have the right to say 'we told you!' but nobody likes smartasses. but since the only lobby that has infiltrated this party are umweltschutzverbände, i will happily give them my vote as i always did. they also convince me on other political topics and their style of doing politics is reasonable and to the point.

i dont feel the need to mention any other parties. hope you had a nice read, moon.

What is the 'Abwrackprämie'?

...and thanks Ryan for removing the spammer.

Abwrackprämie - you gain 2,500€ if you recycle your old car (8+ years), you used for at least 6 months, and buy a new one.

a) Thanks Ryan.
b) "+" for Ryan as requested.

c) You have to invest the 2.500 Euro into a new car (not a used one) and you have to waste your old one (not have it sold to Africa or alike) with the Abwrackprämie.

Basically it is a stupid thing as it keeps old cars going in Africa, causes CO2-emission by producing else not needed new cars and deletes property deliberately. The only positive aspect was that it helped a little in the crisis.
