Free speech is dead in demonland there is more censorship in demonland then china

Edited January 12, 20179 yr by don't make me angry

I'm back from Tassie. In my opinion Uncle Bitter would make an excellent teacher. On that subject I noticed in Launceston there was a Steiner school.

My question is .........How is it we fought two world wars to have a German education system?

Hmm, this looks suspiciously like posting by proxy, another clever effort by BBO to slip past any scrupulous mods who might visit here. That's highly unlikely I suppose.

More alarming is the information that he's been allowed to teach anyone anything. I though proponents of Dickensian education techniques had been shuffled off into administrative jobs long ago.

Anyway, didn't you say in another thread that you were off for a souvlaki at lunchtime yesterday? 

Xin. Chau Chairman Dee.

I have just been awoken by the voice of communist radio and big sister!!!

Bbos joke would fall very flat here.

Nodody talks out of turn.

You would love it!

Also , you can crack a beer in the AM without a batted eyelid in sight!

Gotta love the commos.

Ive had a chance to speak some terrible French already .

On the flight over I learnt more about the Silk Road.

There are pots and jars from the Middle East found in an excavation here that dates back to 8th C!

Still no huge take up of contraception in Saigon judging by the traffic.

And the other news I can report is that I'm a mutli- millionaire .

Ive been grasping my Dong with unrestrained joy!

I see the Gat got another over whelming endorsement n the press today

Notorious hotel a hotbed of villianary

"MORE than 50 serious crimes including rapes, drug dealing, and vicious assaults occurred at the notorious Gatwick Hotel in a six-month period last year."

Very pleasing that you have arrived in Vietnam without harm, Biff. You don't mention, though, whether you caused any on the way.

My sister was there a few years ago and loved it. She's always talking out of turn.

I expect your bad French to continue. It's our historic duty to offend against the language, especially wherever we find the remnants of their failed colonial enterprises.

I won't venture anywhere near the bad Dong puns. I presume you'll return with at least six months' supply of these. If not, you could bring back a stick-on Uncle Ho beard for BBO to wear to the first game of the season.

It's pure capitalist propaganda DC.

there have been way more than 50 serious crimes at the Gat.

Looks likeScott Cam and co are trying to push out the elite so Dee Jolly and the other tasteless bogans can ruin the joint with their faddish deco. 

Bourgeois scum!

You would think so but it's attracted many willing to see it unfurled.

They encourage the children to think outside the square .

Then they [censored] them if they do.

It's a uniquely German approach to innovation.

I don't mean to be pedantic or anything, but Steiner was Austrian, a citizen of that other pointless empire, the Austro-Hungarian. Some people, including the bloke with the toothbrush moustache, didn't think that distinction meant much, though.

Croatia at that time was part of Austria...Also, German was Steiner's mother tongue, a bit of a giveaway as to who he felt he belonged to.

By the way, my mother and grandparents were part of 'that other pointless empire, the Austro-Hungarians' as you so kindly put it, and put entirely in a way I've come to expect from people descended from British so-called culture. Some good things came out of Austria-Hungary, not the least Mozart and Schubert. And Bruckner and Mahler. Stefan Zweig, Sigmund Freud,it could also claim Kafka.

Britain at that time gave us Lord Balfour, Churchill, Gordon of Khartoum, mainly war mongers, all told.

Oh, and Rudyard Kipling and great rhyming couplets about all good things British, and all the while, while inventing concentration camps during the Boer War, and stripping India and China bare, and Malaya of its rubber, well, what else did the British leave behind? Oh yes, railways so they could pilfer more productively.

Sorry dieter, no insult intended. I only meant that the empire (as empire) was pointless, being as it was a series of political settlements called an empire and serving only to prop up the Habsburgs for another 50 years or so. Its cultural contributions can't be denied although Mozart and Schubert might be stretching the point since they were born well before 1867. And never mind Mahler. Check out Alma Mahler's 'career' some time. She seems to have slept with most of Vienna.

Happy for you to claim Kafka. I wouldn't trade him for a thousand Kiplings. And if you really want to boast you could add Robert Musil. Extraordinary writer.

By far the most interesting thread here on DLand.

Meanwhile back at the Gat.....

Pointless is too harsh a description. Much as I generally like putting the boot into Poms, a fairer comparison might be the Britain that gave us Britten, Vaughan-Williams, Elgar, Beecham and the Proms concerts, Tolkien, CS Lewis, JM Barrie, Tennyson, PG Wodehouse etc. And, to be really nasty, in which part of the world was that master warmongerer named Adolf born?

Yes,I'll take Musil as well. And Joseph Roth. My ancestors descended on Banat during Maria Teresa's reign. They came from  Alsace and the Black Forest. - hence the Donauschwabs as both those areas are populated by Schwabian Germans.  Maria Teresa was a Hapsburger, if you like, that's why I threw in Schubert and Mozart.

I was referring more to the pre-WW1 era. Britten especially post dates, here. You could get away with Elgar, Vaughan Williams just. 

To counter, I could claim Arnold Schonberg as well. He, ironically, was going to 'ensure the dominance of 'German' music for the next 100 years'.
