Morgen bekommen wir Rückenwind bestimmt!!!
Bei uns im Ort wird morgen von 10:00 bis 12:00 Uhr ein großer Protest zum Stande kommen!!! Auch Kinder von 3-ten und 4-ten Klassen aus unsere Grundschule sind bei der Demonstration dabei! NEIN gegen AfD, gegen Faschismus, Antisemitismus... NEIN gegen die Menschen, die in Deutschland Hass und Fremdenfeindlichkeit verbreiten!!!
JA für Demokratie, JA für Vielfalt, JA für alle Menschen, die in der Vielfalt der Menschen und ihrer Nationalitäten, die große Chancen sehen für ein starken Land, Deutschland. ☮️🧒🏻👧🏼👦🏽👦🏿👨‍🦰🌈

A quotation from Cicero

Therefore, when the young die I am reminded of a strong flame extinguished by a torrent; but when old men die it is as if a fire had gone out without the use of force and of its own accord, after the fuel had been consumed; and, just as apples when they are green are with difficulty plucked from the tree, but when ripe and mellow fall of themselves, so, with the young, death comes as a result of force, while with the old it is the result of ripeness. To me, indeed, the thought of this “ripeness” for death is so pleasant, that the nearer I approach death the more I feel like one who is in sight of land at last and is about to anchor in his home port after a long voyage.

[Itaque adulescentes mihi mori sic videntur, ut cum aquae multitudine flammae vis opprimitur, senes autem sic, ut cum sua sponte nulla adhibita vi consumptus ignis exstinguitur; et quasi poma ex arboribus, cruda si sunt, vix evelluntur, si matura et cocta, decidunt, sic vitam adulescentibus vis aufert, senibus maturitas; quae quidem mihi tam iucunda est, ut, quo propius ad mortem accedam, quasi terram videre videar aliquandoque in portum ex longa navigatione esse venturus.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
De Senectute [Cato Maior; On Old Age], ch. 19 / sec. 71 (44 BC) [tr. Falconer (1923)]

2 people in the UK visited a pub in the nude, and they as well as the staff were severely attacked over that. Despite the fact that plain, simple nudity is legal in the UK.

“Danielle and I find it deeply saddening that in 2023 an individual has attacked a small business that is trying to demonstrate acceptance and tolerance.”

We walked into pub NAKED - diners were outraged but we did nothing wrong

PUG goers were fuming when a couple walked in for a meal and drink stark naked. Unhappy punters at The Railway, in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, couldn’t touch their food after seeing the nudists…

A quotation from Russell, Bertrand

To understand the actual world as it is, not as we should wish it to be, is the beginning of wisdom.

The #political #battle for #gay #rights is over & won. #Homosexuals now have all the same rights & protections as #heterosexuals in nearly all (if not all) #Western nations. #Time to stand down. #Equality under secular #law has been #achieved & there is no longer a political battle to #fight. We can't force people to like #homosexuality, but we have ensured that #homosexual rights are enshrined in #secular law.

#Government cannot offer more than #equality under the law. Pushing for #social #acceptance of homosexuality using government #power is an #abuse of government power. Promoting homosexuality to #children is highly #inappropriate & #counterproductive. #Obnoxious, overly-sexualized "#pride parades" are antagonistic & as a political #tool are #superfluous.
