Out of the courtroom with a scattered heart
I’m not sure that what I did today was right.
Three years ago I was involved in a car accident, where I was hit by a car riding on my bike. Not hard or anything and neither I or the bike was hurt. The man who drove came out and said sorry. And he was sincerly sorry - it was obvious by the look in his eyes. We were lucky as the police had actually driven right behind me, so there was no...

caraobrien:
WASHINGTON (Aug. 23) — Acknowledging that the hunger faced by millions of American students during the summertime is “a catastrophe,” the top nutrition official at the U.S. Department of Agriculture wants to experiment with a totally new approach to feeding poor kids during the months they have no access to subsidized meals at school cafeterias. The idea: issue a seasonal electronic...

Give up or give in?
Maybe neather. I don’t wan’t to be one of the group animals, that can’t do differently from my pack. At least not if it means throwing trash all over the place, forget about the places where people ACTUALLY have problems and so on.
We do all have a choice. I choose not to forget and not to act like I don’t give a shit about anyone and anything else but my self.
Just help...

Summer ends, school starts..
.. For me it means a new year of humanitarian work for those who doesn’t have a lot, or any at all. The start of a new year in high school is not only about books, homeworks and sitting on ones behind all day long - Not for me at least. I love the way I can be passionate about a project and really be sure about making a difference.
I’m talking about Operation Day work, which is a...

Global warming in Denmark
This november month has not yet given Denmark any degrees below 0 on the Celcius scale and if november doesn’t move fast and give us some really chilly temperatures before the month of christmas comes it will be the first time since 1873, where we startet meassuring the tempuratures.
That should be a pretty good sign for the leaders to make a good deal that we can all use. In 30 years we...

Greenpeace news
Greenpeace action underway now in the Indonesian rainforest!
Early today 13 activists locked down cranes at one of the largest pulp and paper mills in the world and 4 activists still remain - as this e-mail was sent operations at the export facility had been stopped for 9 hours already. Deforestation is a root cause of climate change - contributing approximately 1/5 of global greenhouse gas...

japansociety:
Japan said Tuesday that it would dramatically increase its nonmilitary aid to Afghanistan, pledging $5 billion for a range of projects that includes building schools and highways, training police officers, clearing land mines and rehabilitating former Taliban fighters.
The announcement of the new aid package, which is to be disbursed over the next five years, comes just days...
COP15 + Mugabe = bad bad idea!
I live in Denmark. Not exactly near Copenhagen where the meeting is held but close enough to care about it. I just read that Mugabe is going to the meeting together with all the other leaders. But Mugabe is not a leader - he is a freaking dictator and he has got nothing to do in Denmark when he is surpressing “his” people at the same time. It is just not good enough.
The only good...
What I have changed in my life
I have done a couple of things to spare the enviroment and try to minimize the climate changes. I do not suffur from it at all. It does not take alot of time - and now I actually have more money. (All the numbers are per year)

The nuclear industry doesn’t trust itself…Why... →
kwartz:
The Harper government has tabled the Nuclear Liability and Compensation Act in Parliament. The bill would, if passed, artificially cap the liability of a nuclear operator for accidents at $650 million – a miniscule fraction of the likely actual cost of a nuclear disaster. Ma nemmeno se una partita di uova marce contamina delle merendine si rischia cosí poco! Questo è il Canada, in Europa...

It is important. There need to be done something now! A scenario would be that our grandchildren will not be able to live normally in the world because we are, we the industry, killing the nature and enviroment. I do not know why people are so offensive to this. Everybody will save money by saving the enviroment. Save money and save your childrens future. It is not that hard.

I have some other money and most important; I have the ability to make some. The third world children does not have this possibility. That is why I am now urging you all to just think about it.

Me: I think I can do without the 200 dkk every month. Somebody else needs them more.
Jack: Yeah, but you can't save the whole world..
Me: No, that's true, but I can make a difference for one person and that's better than nothing.
Jack: Do what you want just don't drag me into it.
Me: Okay sorry I told you.

My friend is one of the coolest. She has meet and interviewed him. Not that I like him, but the fact that she got an interview with him is just amazing.
What the fuck?
If I didn’t believe in god before and I sure as hell do not believe in god now. How can there be a god when my grandpa at a age of 71 dies of cancer after a healthy and active life? That is not fair - that is bullshit. I’m going to miss him. I already do.

USA
I just don’t like it. This country represents (and now I’m being very generalizing) all the things I do not like.
First of all, I now have the FBI and CIA on my back and they are probably gonna follow me a couple of years untill they figure out, that I’m no threat to their beloved country.
Second of all the fundamental values most Americans have scare the hell out of me. How,...

Næh nej, det er dårligt for dig og det er dårligt for klimaet. Det er ikke svært, det kræver ikke ret meget, men det er til gengæld pisse vigtigt, for ja ja ja,...
Operation Dagsværk
Der er mange, der ikke rigtigt ved hvad OD er på trods af at det har eksisteretsiden 1985 og har samlet mere end 120.000.000 kr. ind til 20 udviklingsprojekter rundt om i verden. I år går alle pengene til Zimbabwe, hvor Mugabe styrer landet med hård hånd. Projektet er et samarbejde med Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke, og nogle lokale ungdomsorganisationer, og det går ud på at lære de unge om deres...
Stieg Larsson
Bøger er fantastiske, man kan leve sig ind i dem, forestille sig hvordan de personerne ser ud og så kan man tage det i sit helt eget tempo. Derfor vil jeg anmelde nogle af de bøger jeg læser her på min blog. Denne anmeldelse vil være en samlet anmeldelse af de tre Stieg Larsson bøger; Mænd der hader kvinder, Pigen der legede med ilden og Luftkastellet der blev sprængt. Grunden til at jeg vælger...

Igår modtog jeg en jakke, som jeg har købt af brugeren Clerke på Trendsales. For det første blev jeg rigtigt glad for jakken, for jeg havde ventet på den nogle dage, og det føltes som en evighed, men da jeg så at hun havde lagt et par øreringe og et kort med i pakken, hvorpå der stod;
“Kære Birgitte! håber du bliver glad for jakken :) Havde disse øreringe der ville passe rigtig fedt til jakken!...
One Act of Random Kindness at a time..
For et par uger siden så jeg efterfølgeren til Bruce the Almighty, som de fleste af os kender, hvor Evan Baxter, som blev fyret på grund af Bruce i den første film, bliver bedt om at bygge en ark af selveste Gud. Alt dette er jo meget fint, og da jeg ikke tror på Gud, var det ikke noget himmelsk jeg fæstnede mig ved. Derimod har jeg ikke været i stand til at glemme sætningen ”One Act of Random...
Børn skal i fængsel
“Peter på 15, har nu siddet i fængsel i et år. Hans mor er dranker, og hans far smuttede før Peter blev født. Peters lærere har aldrig behandlet ham på samme måde, som de andre elever, han fik altid meget mere skældud, og han følte ikke rigtigt at han kunne gøre noget rigtigt. Måske havde det noget med hans gamle og beskidte tøj at gøre? Siden Peter var helt lille, har hans mor ladet ham handle og...
At køre eller ikke at køre?
Nogle mennesker burde bare ikke have kørekort.Det er fint nok, at man ikke værdsætter sit liv specielt meget, men jeg synes ikke det skal være op til dem, der har det på den måde, at afgøre andre folks skæbne.
Igår aftes havde jeg været ude og shoppe, og på vej hjem i bilen, blev vi overhalet, af en noget usikker kørende bil, lige op til et hjørne. Hvis der var kommet en anden bil rundt om...
