OK, let's have a "Quotes" thread!

'Cause I can see the concrete slowly creepin' Lord, take me and mine before that comes

(Allen, Ronnie)

Opinion: It does not really change anything, if Trump keeps promises given before or not. The German engagements, signed in Paris in 2015 aiming at diminishing global warming, have been reduced to nothing by four state ministries and Big Mama's office. All that is still labeled “German” in this context, is a single fat lie. No subtlety attempted.

The French are less hypocrite and lie publicly and continuously. Oh @_ł$!! You have children? Darn, man. The show is over.

« Quand vous devenez français, vos ancêtres sont les gaulois ! » “When you become French, your ancestors are the Gauls!”

(« Madame Merkel et Moi » - aka Sarko)

These Gauls are non-existent. A few dozen peoples, among them many Germanic tribes and, in deed, one Celtic tribe which is nowadays known as “Gauls” would fit in, here. Even the “Franks” are just an agglomeration of Saxons, Marcomanni, Cimbri, the remains of the Bructeri and some others, who were “frank enough” to not only pillage Roman “Gaul” occasionally, but to stay and build their villages right on that territory.

The Gauls, he is referring to, are creations by two comic-writers and are called « Asterix and Obelix ». But this is normal:

« Le brave néandertalien qui avait parfaitement compris qu'ici c'était plus tempéré qu'ailleurs, qu'il devait y avoir du gibier, qu'il faisait beau et qu'il faisait bon vivre ? » “The brave man of Neanderthal who had perfectly understood that here, the climate was more comfortable than elsewhere, that there should be wild game, that the weather is fine and that you could well live (here)?”

(« Madame Merkel et Moi » - the best, in Lascaux, the cave which could never have seen a man of Neanderthal, but Cro-Magnons who suffered dearly under the adverse climatic conditions and the hunger.)

Oh quelle « crotte de Taureau »!

Think of Richard Stallman as the great philosopher and think of me as the engineer. ~ Linus Torvalds

He ain't no singer that's for sure...

Stallman announced the plan for the GNU operating system in September 1983 on several ARPAnet mailing lists and USENET. In 1985, Stallman published the GNU Manifesto, which outlined his motivation for creating a free operating system called GNU, which would be compatible with Unix. The name GNU is a recursive acronym for GNU's Not Unix. Soon after, he started a non-profit corporation called the Free Software Foundation to employ free software programmers and provide a legal infrastructure for the free software movement. Stallman is the nonsalaried president of the FSF, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in Massachusetts.
