A German tourist saw a sign at a university in South Africa. It read: The destruction of a nation does not require the use of atomic bombs or long-range missiles. It is enough to lower the quality of education and let students cheat on exams. Patients die because of doctors like that. Buildings collapse because […]
On October, 15th in each year since 2010 is Chimney Sweepers’ Day! At least in Germany, where the Federal Association of the Chimney Sweeping Handicraft in 2010 initiated this fancy holiday.

I recently did again stumble upon a religious tv program and watched the 2014 American christian drama movie A Matter of Faith. I missed the first minutes, but I still can say that it began with the typical byplay for introducing the main characters. Then it made a beeline for the main event, which was […]

The USA’s Vietnam War in the 1960s caused much resistance, also within the USA, where young people didn’t want to have to die or get dismembered in another unnecessary war in a far away country, that most of them never heard about. According protests brought forth the hippies and their in 1968 peaking flower power […]
