Folter 2.0

Mai 31, 2007

Was machen die bösen Amis im Irak?
z.B. Leute aus Folterkellern der Al-Kaida befreien. Dort wurden auch „Anleitungen“ zum Foltern gefunden wie diese:

Torture, Al-Qaeda Style

Am Ende findet man dann noch die „Ergebnisse“ dieser Verfahren. Nichts für schwache Nerven.

Die Nazis des 21.Jh.

Mai 13, 2007

Dieses Video wurde vor ca. 1 Jahr vor der dänischen Botschaft in London aufgenommen. Die „Proteste“ waren eine Reaktion auf die Mohammed Comics.

Anmerkung:

Ich habe den Begriff „Nazis“ in der Überschrift in abweichender Begriffsverwendung verwendet.

„Im angelsächsischen (und internationalen) Sprachgebrauch findet sich die Kurzform Nazi wesentlich häufiger als die Herkunftswörter und wird auch zur Bezeichnung der damaligen Politik, Ideologie und Kriegsführung, teilweise auch zur Bezeichnung von Fanatikern anderer Art, gebraucht. Nazi wird dort auch durchaus als wissenschaftlicher Begriff verwendet.“

(Zitat aus der Wikipedia)

Die Kommentare auf der youtube Seite zu diesem Video werden auch sehr emotional geführt, wie diese Beispiele beweisen:

honeyvera: How big is London’s muslim population ?
TheRealBladeRunner: One million.
blaupunkt455: Waaaaaaaay too fucking big. Time to start the ethnic cleansing, before they blow up Big Ben or Parliament.
Lwnzer: Don’t worry about it; they’re blowing themselves up faster than they can reproduce.

hamsterama:This video is just plain terrifying. There’s no other way to put it. These people, if you can call them people, are nothing but trash. Who invited this worthless, human garbage to live in the UK in the first place, and why? They whine about freedom of speech and make death threats. Yet they are more than happy to use freedom of speech to spout out their ugly, anti-western trash. If they don’t like European culture, why did they move their in the first place?

MANAMANA

Wenn Anthony dieses Wort benutzt, heißt das übersetzt:

„Papa mach mal youtube an und lass uns zusammen das Manamana-Video anschauen!“



Wichtige Erfindungen – Folge 1

Heute: Das Emoticon

Was wären Chats, Foren, Blos usw. ohne dieses :)Emoticons? Das Smily wird dieses Jahr 25 Jahre als. Erfunden wurde es 1982 von dem amerikanischen Studenten Scott E. Fahlman.

Hier ein Zitat aus der Orignal-Email mit dem Vorschlag:

I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers:
:-)

Read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark
things that are NOT jokes, given current trends. For this, use
:-(

Auf seiner eigenen Hompage schreibt er zur Erfindung des Emoticons

By the early 1980’s, the Computer Science community at Carnegie Mellon was making heavy use of online bulletin boards or “bboards”. These were a precursor of today’s newsgroups, and they were an important social mechanism in the department – a place where faculty, staff, and students could discuss the weighty matters of the day on an equal footing. Many of the posts were serious: talk announcements, requests for information, and things like “I’ve just found a ring in the fifth-floor men’s room. Who does it belong to?” Other posts discussed topics of general interest, ranging from politics to abortion to campus parking to keyboard layout (in increasing order of passion). Even in those days, extended “flame wars” were common.

Given the nature of the community, a good many of the posts were humorous (or attempted humor). The problem was that if someone made a sarcastic remark, a few readers would fail to get the joke, and each of them would post a lengthy diatribe in response. That would stir up more people with more responses, and soon the original thread of the discussion was buried. In at least one case, a humorous remark was interpreted by someone as a serious safety warning.

After all, when using text-based online communication, we lack the body language or tone-of-voice cues that convey this information when we talk in person or on the phone. Various “joke markers” were suggested, and in the midst of that discussion it occurred to me that the character sequence :-) would be an elegant solution – one that could be handled by the ASCII-based computer terminals of the day. So I suggested that. In the same post, I also suggested the use of :-( to indicate that a message was meant to be taken seriously, though that symbol quickly evolved into a marker for displeasure, frustration, or anger.

Stock must go on!
