In an Interview with a Portugese paper Paltrow stated that people in the U.K. are much more intelligent and civilised. "I love the British way of life, it is not as capitalistic as in America". When dining the Brits dont talk about work and money, they discuss more intelligent topics. She also mentions that her friend Madonna shares her views and is like a Sister to her..........

AMERICA'S SHAME Torture in the Name of Freedom The new pictures from Abu Ghraib provide the most recent evidence: America's moral bank account is empty -- and it has lost the image wars. The entire Muslim world no longer trusts the world's most powerful nation. They are photos that make your blood run cold. They take your breath away. They turn your stomach. They are photos that make you wonder what kinds of human beings would do these things to other human beings. They trigger anger, disgust and shame. One photo shows a prisoner being sandwiched between two stretchers, like...

Selbst Freude und Mitleid schlagen zur selben Zeit in meiner Brust. So freue ich mich beispielsweise momentan darüber, dass die jüngste Sturmkatastrophe nicht wieder irgendein armes Land, sondern die reichste Nation der Erde getroffen hat. Ja, ich sehe darin sogar eine Art ausgleichende Gerechtigkeit für das, was die Bewohner dieses Landes durch ihren Krieg im Irak anderen Bewohnern angetan haben. Es würde mich allerdings noch mehr erfreuen, wenn ich wüsste, dass nur Häuser von Bush-Wählern und Armeeangehörigen zerstört worden wären. Alle anderen tun mir aufrichtig Leid. Dringender Notruf? kolumne@taz.de Montag: Susanne Lang über DIE ANDEREN http://www.taz.de/pt/2005/09/02/a0109.nf/text The translation (roughly) reads...

Berlin Outrage: Checkpoint Charlie Monument to be Bulldozed July 4th We didn't think it could get much worse in Germany...well, it just did. Davids Medienkritik recently learned that the Berlin city government, made up of a coalition between the SPD (Gerhard Schroeder's Social-Democrats) and the PDS (former SED party that ran Communist East Germany), has decided to allow the razing of the Checkpoint Charlie monument by court order. And get this: The monument, which consists of over 1,000 crosses adorned with the names of those murdered attempting to escape Communist East Germany for freedom, will be bulldozed on the 4th...

The German Diplomat from Hell German Diplomat Describes Civil Rights in the USA as "on a par with those of North Korea" We at Davids Medienkritik are not easily impressed by bad behavior from German elites. After all, we've seen and reported on a lot in the past. But we were simply blown-away by what we read in a recent Wall Street Journal piece by Bret Stephens: The article, entitled, "The German Chair: A tale of torture at the hands of an America-hating diplomat", details Mr. Stephens harrowing conversation with a relatively prominent official from the German Consulate General in...

Breaking News: Schroeder's Social Democrats Lost Big Time Not even hard core anti-capitalism and anti-Americanism helped: Schroeder's Social Democrats lost the state elections in North-Rhine/Westfalia, Germany's largest state, fair and sqare. The Greens of Foreign Secretary Joschka Fischer lost as well. Clear winner is the Christian Democratic Party (CDU). The CDU will form a coalition government together with the Free Democrats (FDP). The result is a debacle for chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. Hard to say whether he will politically survive the next weeks. Forecasts (2002 figures in parentheses) SPD 37.6 % (42,8 %) CDU 44,8 % (37,0 %) FDP 6,1 %...

Stress and backpain affect workers the most. A German saying: Work makes you an aristocrat. Guess again, reality is: Work makes you sick. Therefore, every 4th worker eperiences that pressure to perform is placing undue hardship on a worker. Almost every one out of three workers suffers pressure due to hectic, time and demand for deadlines. The physiological problems are demonstrated by muscular and skeletal complaints. 47 % in surveys complain about back pain and even one third of workers under the age of 20 have these problems. This is the result of a study of over 30 000 respondents...

Translation: His attempt to secure support from the EU, especially France and Germany, could improve relationships. That could be of benefit when we have the next conflict. However, if Bush abandons the facts that we have Transatlatic differences with a simple remark like: e and America has no strategy exept Freedom, he clearly shows how little he has learned. That can only lead to the Leaders of Europe to conclude that Washington believes Europe and America should talk with one voice as long as it is the opinion of the US and according to Bush. He came with empty hands....

Since I didn't watch his speech last night, did he really say that, anyone? The German paper has that as their headline about F'Kerry. We have been in the freedom business longer than the Europeans, especially Germans. What did he learn from his own country?

Ronald Reagan war Schauspieler, Gewerkschafter, Rettungsschwimmer und acht Jahre lang Präsident der USA. Als er das Weiße Haus 1989 verließ, hinterließ er eine gigantische Staatsverschuldung und unzählige Obdachlose. Aber dieses Ziel hatte er erreicht: Die Sowjetunion stand vor dem Zusammenbruch. Reagan ist am Samstag im Alter von 93 Jahren gestorben. Von Lisa Erdmann Translation: Ronald Reagan was an Actor, Union boss, Life Guard and American President for 8 years. When he left the White House in 1989, he left a gigantic Government Debt and countless Homeless people. However, he reached One goal: The Soviet Union was teetering on breaking apart....

Translation: In the UN security council the arguments are becoming very heated. The US is again threatening to pull all of it's troops from all peacekeeping operatins if US citizens don't receive immunity from International court prosecution. This was verified by several western European diplomats. The argument over this action by the US is beginning to become very heated. Germany, France , Spain and several other nations are planning to veto any attempts by the US government regarding this resolution, where US citizens would be immune to International prosecution.

This appeared in the Bild, a widely read German paper. Sorry about the new thread, I made the mistake to post it in German first. I will Translate this Garbage for you Gerhard Schroeder has very seldom been on the stage because of his visionary prowess. He has also not shown many signs of principles. Therefore we will never know whether his decision to be against the war in Iraq was only Campaign rhetoric or basic principle. However, we know now, he was right. Whoever believed in the US propaganda in spite of the fact that there were no WMD's...

Irak: Schröders Entscheidung war richtig Von CLAUS STRUNZ Claus Strunz Gerhard Schröder ist bisher erst selten durch visionäre Kraft in Erscheinung getreten. Auch gehört es nicht zu seinen hervorstechenden Eigenschaften, besonders prinzipientreu zu handeln. Es wird sich daher nie endgültig klären lassen, ob seine Entscheidung aus dem Jahr 2002, die Teilnahme am Irak-Krieg zu verweigern, bloße Wahltaktik war oder eine grundsätzliche Position. Eines steht inzwischen aber fest: Die Entscheidung des Bundeskanzlers war richtig. Wer trotz fehlender Beweise an die Propaganda der USA geglaubt hat, Saddam verfüge über Massenvernichtungsmittel, weiß heute: Alles falsch! Wer die Mahner, die prognostizierten, dass im Irak...
