The real crisis Europe is dealing with

Over the last decade a new kind of politician came to parlements all over Europe. Geert Wilders came to the Dutch elite and is now investigating if the Euro should be replaced by the good old guilder. First he tells everybody Greece should be kicked out of the EU and now he thinks it's better to get our old currency back. A strong partnership of European countries will protect our peace for the decades to come. To let publically let go of this, just because of cash is stupid, ignorant and the worst thing you can do. Like asking for a divorce when your wife comes home and spend all money on a new purse. This short term thinking and lack of loyalty is what is hurting our unity way more, then a member country running out of money. In fact all European countries are broke and have been broke for a long time. Bringing back the old currency will kill our export and cost us way more then trying to reform the union with measures that weld a more strong structure. One tax system, no protectionism and a European government that rules over the major issues. Economy, infrastructure, Defense, Safety. We get rid of all small local decision making and simplify the political landscape. By doing that we save tons of money. Reform and stricing for a stronger unity between members of the EU. Let's not forget to apologize to Turkey and welcome them as a member. This we do publically! Then we vote for new rules with regards to what we allow of our politicians. No discrimination, when you do preach hate, you are taken of the political game and put where you belong. Community service, jail would be too easy. I am again ashamed for my country and the ease my politicians betray our partners. Shame on those who do this. 

Guest post on Digital Music News

While participating in a Panel Discussion during ADE [Amsterdam Dance Event] this year, seated next to Stuart Knight from Toolroom Records (a customer of FUGA).  We discussed services like Spotify and praised them for their growth.  Anticipating the 'label' business would grow at the same pace.  However, over the last couple of weeks, I've seen a shift indicating it could be more complicated, causing me to re-evaluate my position on the subject or at least do more research.

 

Geacht CDA, Excellentie

Geacht CDA,

De heer Leers is namens uw partij ons gehele volk aan het vertegenwoordigen op "Immigratie en Asiel".

Ik ben geen CDA, VVD, PVV, PVDA kiezer, nooit geweest en zal het ook nooit worden. Zeker als dit het beleid is wat gevoerd wordt. Dit bericht is dan ook bedoeld voor minister Leers.

Excellentie,

Met alle respect voor de onmogelijke positie waarin u zich bevind, wil ik u verzoeken nogmaals diep na te denken over de situatie waarin u en uw partij terecht zijn gekomen. Ditmaal met in het achterhoofd "Beter ten halve gekeerd, dan ten hele gedwaald".

Uw pakt met de PVV en uw overige partners is een dwaling, ingegeven door angst en goede bedoelingen voor ons mooie Nederland. In mijn bescheiden mening. Tot op heden heb ik er weinig gevoel of betrokkenheid bij gehad, maar of ik het leuk vind of niet, U vertegenwoordigd ook mij in deze. Met in deze doel ik op Mauro. Deze jongen wordt nu de dupe van een duivels pakt en dat kan en wil ik niet stilletjes aan mij voorbij laten gaan.

U, het CDA (op een enkeling na) moet zich schamen voor wat er hier gebeurd en onmiddelijk zorgen dat deze jonge man verder kan gaan met leven, leren en genieten in ons mooie Nederland.

Ik zie u worstelen in de media met dit dossier en u wringt zich in allerlei bochten. Regels zijn regels.. Wie heeft dat ooit bedacht? Het gaat hier toch niet om de regels, maar over een jong mens!

Wat mij betreft laat u het kabinet klappen op dit verhaal. Zo verder zou ook voor u en de uwen geen optie mogen zijn.

Ik hoop dat dit schrijven u bereikt en dat u mededogen toont aan die het verdient en uw tanden laat zien aan diegene die een beleid voorstaan, dat zo asociaal is dat onze beschaving er aan ten onder gaat.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Martijn Tjho

Why we have lost our civilization to politicians

For almost a decade and 18 year ol boy from Angola lived, loved, studied, made mistakes, laughed in the Netherlands. Now he is 18 he needs to go back to his country of origin. We invested for almost a decade in his Dutch language skills, he made friends, yearns for a prosperous future and knows nothing about life back in Angola. Rules are rules and we don't want to give the wrong signal to illegal people.

A civilized country would have done the oposit. We invested in this young man, he loves our great country, worked hard and has a future. This is the signal we should give to immigrants. Learn Dutch, Work hard, be nice and you are welcome!

 

 

Why banks should be scared

 

Wall Street must be scared shitless because of the protests that are going on right now. A lame attempt by NYC mayor failed because within 24hours + 300.000 people signed a petition. The same group that is organizing these protests also tells people to take their money out of big banks and put it in small banks. When the next disaster becomes public, its just a matter of time, not if, but when, this will cause a major meltdown of the existing system. BOARIP

Steve, if you do get in trouble, you can always work with us... Great piece!

Every business should be happy to have this kind of thinkers on board. Maybe not great to put it all out there, but he probably tried internally already, got frustrated and honest. Now for sure it's on the agenda. Some lame managers will probably use this as an excuse why the + service isn't working out ;-) It made me think about my own involvement and how my people perceive me when it comes down to the way I treat them. I have no clue to be honest, but one thing I know, I love honesty. Go check this out!

Seriously?... What did Obama do wrong?

The way I look at it is that Obama gave the USA its "Charisma" back and worked his ass off to stop the bleeding. Imagine you're a doctor on ER and a patient with 111 bullet holes comes. 99 in the Heart and the rest in the brain. That's how sick America and the rest of the world is!

Everything evolves around getting things from the Earth, thats why borders are so important. We kill the planet, civilization and each other if we continue like this. Of course Obama doesn't do everything right, we all make mistakes, but why is he being perceived as the worst President ever?

The media has never before been so around us. And Obama is still Black, o yeah, and Muslim. Looking at the state of the Western World and the issues around the two major issues Obama can't really do anything about, unless he starts bleeching and drink Vodka.

I DREAM OF A WORLD WHERE WE CAN LIVE IN PEACE. WHERE WE NURTURE OUR PLANET. AND WHERE WE NURTURE EACH OTHER.

I give my vote for Obama.

BTW, the above picture gives way too much credit to Bush. Blame it on all the zero tolerance coming from right wing Christian politicians that have ruled over the last century. Stop bullying gays, blacks, lesbians, Muslims, single fathers, single mothers, kids, plants, animals, the Universe. It's not yours to Fuck UP!

Shameless self promotion

For the love of technology

Some people work on the worlds biggest issues. I am not talking about wether there is enough nail polish to paint all the fake nails out there, but issues threatening lots of people that live without $. Malaria is one of the killers that take new victims every second. What to do? 2 things. 1. Develop medicin to cure and 2. Kill the killer. This video shows how a laser set up identifies the musquito, targets the laser and BOOM. I love it! In a few years this will be available without a system administrator in your bedroom.
