The information handed down itself does not seem to stir up most of the people either.


OT, but related to last paragraph - I just read a statistic, about which people in Germany vote for the right wingers, usually accepting what the government does without much questioning. To my astonishment it was not only the 'rich' who would have a reason to protect their property from the poor masses (if you would think of class war, which has died out), but foremost more poor and uneducated people - or, to say this in numbers, more than 70 percent of the population.
I do now understand where those numbers in elections come from, i somehow still do not understand why they do that.

There are a lot of people here you would call 'parasites', living from state welfare and never intending to work and get a job - but just of all those are the loudest bigmouths when it comes to condemning real poor people and foreigners who deserve welfare, as well those bigmouths always vote for the political 'right wingers'.
I admit i do not quite understand the mechanisms of opinion formation.


MM you are right, i also should buy a boat and ...
