As a German, it’s hard to imagine that the German rental model is an improvement to anything. It’s horrible. Private landlords honestly stuck even more than corporate ones. Lots of people who feel entitled to put whatever restrictions they want on tenants, regardless of the law. Racism/favorism are rampant, people are literally paying for appointments to just look at apartments and also to be favored in the selection process.
Die Bundesvorsitzende der SPD hatte ein Treffen mit dem US-Senator Bernie Sanders geplant. Doch weil dieser "frühere Relativierungen" im Nahostkonflikt nicht aufgegeben habe, sagte Esken das Treffen nun ab.
Am Dienstag hatte Sanders auf seiner Website ein Statement zur Gewalt in Gaza und Israel veröffentlicht. Darin kritisierte er die Taten beider Seiten. Israels Blockade des Gazastreifens und der Lieferstopp von Nahrung, Wasser und anderen lebensnotwendigen Gütern seien ein “schwerer Bruch internationalen Rechts”.
Das Aushungern eines Landes und Bombardierungen ziviler Infrastruktur zu kritisieren geht natürlich auch entschieden zu weit.
Ernsthaft wtf? Israels Reaktion zu verurteilen heißt jetzt man unterstützt damit automatisch Hamas?
Schade, hatte damals eigentlich echt Respekt vor der Frau aber hier ist sie glaube ich n paar mal falsch abgebogen.
Was wäre denn meine Alternative? Selbst wenn ich die ganze Musik die ich gerne höre lokal speichern würde, ist es trotzdem ziemlich cool auf Spotify einfach mal in was Neues reinzuhören.
Ich schätze mal damit ist gemeint, dass die Punkte die Menschen die Fleisch essen immer vorgeworfen werden, auch in der vegetarischen Ernährung enthalten sind. Tierquälerei, Umweltverschmutzung etc.
Der “payoff” bei einer rein pflanzlichen Ernährung wahre eben dass diese nahezu völlig eliminiert bzw. im Vergleich zur vegetarischen Ernährung massiv verringert werden.
Surfshark worked well for me for a long time. Lots of servers, works well for unlocking region blocked content and it’s pretty cheap. If you’re into full privacy, I recently moved to AirVPN who accept payment through crypto, so you don’t have to hand over user data except for an email (which doesn’t have to be a real one, you can delete it later).
The abaya isn’t just a headscarf, though. It only leaves the face uncovered and I have seen kids who also additionally cover parts of their face with it.
I just googled it and it’s literally a fucking dress. Sure it’s often combined with a headscarf or (I guess this is what most people have a problem with, a Niqab), but how can you tell women (and often also men) not to wear a dress?
You’re right about the homeschooling (not so much on the private schools, but that’s not really relevant to the point), but that doesn’t stop religious radicals to pull their kids from schools so they can better indoctrinate the kids themselves. This was a common problem during the pandemic, where parents who didn’t agree with the state policies pulled their kids from school and it’s a common problem in counties where homeschooling is legal (like the US), where strictly religious or conservative parents pull their kids from school because they’re learning about gender identity and receive sex education.
Personally I think we need to do more to push back against conservatism, not less.
Something we agree on for once. I’m not religious and I hate to see religion being pushed on to kids. However, I’m a all a strong believer in democracy and the freedoms it gives us. That dies mean though, that we have responsibilities as well. You can’t pick and chose when to apply the rules we set up for a better world and when not to. The EU has committed itself to the “EU Guidelines on the promotion and protection of freedom of religion or belief” and we can’t throw that out of the window, because we don’t like how Muslim people dress.
That’s literally what freedom of religion means though. To be able to express your religion in both public and private, without the state interfering. Every EU country has committed itself to the “EU Guidelines on the promotion and protection of freedom of religion or belief”. Freedom of religion does not mean that people are free to follow their religion behind closed doors or in places that you or the state allow them to practice it.
You actually have no idea what you’re talking about, sorry.
I’m glad we finally landed on Islam though, it shows that this law is supported by islamophobes and people like you are the perfect way to show this to the world.
Just a one minute Google search and you could have saved yourself from this absolutely embarrassing answer. Here let me do it for you:
A secular state is an idea pertaining to secularity, whereby a state is or purports to be officially neutral in matters of religion, supporting neither religion nor irreligion.[1] A secular state claims to treat all its citizens equally regardless of religion, and claims to avoid preferential treatment for a citizen based on their religious beliefs, affiliation or lack of either over those with other profiles.[2]
Prohibiting people from expressing their religions is strictly anti secular.
I wasn’t talking about Frances interpretation though, as I’m obviously not well informed on that. I was more thinking about the EU commitment to freedom of religion as stated in the “EU Guidelines on the promotion and protection of freedom of religion or belief”, in which all EU member states commit to protijg the freedom of religion in the EU (and even outside if possible, see OSCE).
Just as a small excerpt:
(b) the freedom to manifest one’s religion or belief, individually or in community with others, in public or private, through worship, observance, practice and teaching.
This includes the duty to rescind discriminatory legislation, implement legislation that protects freedom of religion or belief, and halt official practices that cause discrimination, as well as to protect people from discrimination by state and other influential actors, whether religious or non-religious
So the state has a responsibility to protect the freedom of religion, within it’s territory.
“When you walk into a classroom, you shouldn’t be able to identify the pupils’ religion just by looking at them,”
What a dumb fucking reason. Really, that’s the best he could come up with? Why not? What’s so bad about knowing someone’s religion, when they are obviously not shy about it?
I get banning religious symbols from schools, because the institutes themselves are supposed to be non-religious (seperation of state and church and so on), but if the students themselves want to express their religion, let them.
I can imagine that just fine and it’s horrible. I love in a country with a fuck ton of Muslim immigrants and I’m sure a lot of their children would prefer not to have to cover their hair (that’s what we’re talking about, not a burka as you describe it).
Yes it’s a powerful tool to keep kids under the influence of their parents religion. But taking away the symbols of that religion won’t make the kids atheist or magically take them out of the influence of their families. If you think that parents who enforce the strict rules of their religion because the kid can’t wear certain clothing at school, you are Truely delusional. Best case the lod doesn’t wear it in school, but still has to do so every other minute in their life. Worst case the parents pull their kids out of school, because the school threatens their influence. A lot of those kids are going to end up home schooled by their radical families or simply go to a private school, where such rules don’t exist. Neither is going to help the kid.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but people in other countries (like Germany) where they are allowed to display religious symbols are able to bond just fine. If you can’t “bond” with someone because they’re wearing a cross on a chain or cover their head with religious clothing, that sounds like a you-issue. Regardless of why they practice their religion, it’s not up to you or the state to tell them how to practice it. Sure some are forced into it by their parents, but banning religious symbols in schools isn’t going to fix that. What it does do however, is stop students from practicing a religion they freely chose.
This law is made by people who are intimidated by things they don’t understand and that probably have their roots in racism and islamophobia.
So you bar people from expressing their religion so they don’t get bullied? Absolute gigabrain move.
“Should we punish the bullies? Maybe take measures so the teachers know how to better deal with conflict? No. Let’s punish the kids getting bullied by taking away their right to express their religion. Surely the bullies won’t find anything else to bully these kids.”
You have a very odd understanding of what “secular state” means. It doesn’t mean that the state can dictate where or how you’re allowed to express you religion. It doesn’t mean that some parts of religion are to be tolerated, where as those that you see as bad can be forbidden at will.
All it means, is that the state institutions, can’t force you to partake in a religion or activities related to that religion. Kids who voluntarily want to express their religion are free to do so. Whether that kid is forced into following that religion, is not an issue of a “secular state”.
Im not denying that there are problems with integration. I’m not denying that some kids are forced into religion.
I’m saying that taking away the liberty to express your religion, won’t change anything about that. All it does is appease people who are offended or threatened by religion (Islamophobia, anti semitism etc.).
A kid that is forced into religion won’t become an atheist if it can’t wear a headdress or a cross chain in school.
I torrent (on the same PC that I run a Plex server from), but also auto connect on my devices whenever I’m on public wifi, so speed and avoiding blocks/captchas is also important. From what I understand having port forwarding will make a big difference in my torrent transfer speeds and ability to connect to peers....
How exactly does aligning with the west change your culture and way of life?
Also, let’s not forget that China is literally putting people into “re-education camps” for having the wrong religion.
Furthermore, Russia and China are not part of the same block. China stands alone because it can afford to do so.
Tell me you know nothing about politics, without telling me you know nothing about politics. Ever heard of a little union called BRICS? You should google it and pay special attention to what the C and R stand for.
