  1. Well, the video has closed captions available their translation matches yours almost entirely

    In fact, the song featured in the video was an already translated version of an originally English song called My Rainbow Race, by songwriter Pete Seeger. Its original lyrics are here: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/pete_seeger/my_rainbow_race.html
  2. Oh, damn, didn't see that on the iPad. Oh well. Yeah, I know it is based on that song, it isn't a precise translation though
  3. Beautiful. Great to see people acting out. This Breivik guy is quite a phenomenon, I don't know if he is totally mental or a true believer in his "cause". But the more this trial continues the weirder the guy becomes...
  4. Interesting fact:

    Since 2003, The U.S. spent $980 billion in Iraq, enough to wipe out world poverty for 10 years.
  5. Get an original thought.

    Who made that America's responsibility

    However good job to all 5 parties who made the budget for 2013 just before elections. Think Holland is the one of the few countries stuff like this can happen, always searching for a middle way for better and for worse

    What's wrong with choosing the middle way? It represents the majority of the citizens, so that's a good thing I reckon. Yes, Pechtold had a bit of air floating around him, but then again I think he's a really skilled politician, and also a gentle person (I get to know him a little because I'm an intern at D66 right now).
  8. ^ I'd like to have a party like D66 here in Spain. Everything is so democratic, with internal referendums and the stuff... Its ideology seems a good mash between the two big wings, and the only thing I dislike is their bet on a strict USA-like two-party system. Yeah, they're a party I'd like to have around here.

  10. Nobody and that's not the point. U.S. itself is in great financial problems, unemployment rate is high and yet they rather put money in killing people all over the world.

    Middle way does not represent the majority of citizens. In the end it means that little happens. As I said, its not bad but in some cases it doesnt work.

    D66 have some good points, all parties do. Might vote for them, but more for a lack of better alternative. The Socialist Party are the most fair, but naive. The liberals of the VVD have shown to do anything as long they are in power. And the christian CDA is an utter spineless disgrace of a party since Balkenende left.

    I am sure Croatia is doing MUCH better in this aspect .

    Biggest issue in the third world is the lack of organisation. If a billion people in Africa put their heads together they wouldnt need any of our help. They are capable of the same stuff we are in Europe. I am all for charity, but it will only get them so far.
