There is no humanity here anymore.

Av
As I sit at this airport in Paris, writing this piece, watching people come and go, I am haunted by two thoughts: The first is a question I cannot answer. How can you shoot people like that? Just watch a crowd march towards you; sit in a firing position, wait ... watch; then fire directly into a crowd of civilians. I did not see a single shot fired from the crowd in the few minutes we sat there watching people flail without any place to hide – a gut wrenching pink mist spraying strait in the air. It is that thought, and the words of a young man from the southern city of Deraa speaking about the country he once loved, a country that has forever changed asking me rhetorically: "What do we have? There is no humanity here anymore."

Photo from Hotel Continental website 200 persons, mostly investors, joined to see what 20 startups could offer in Oslo after the finance crisis .

In that way they have create a Chess Attack, which can take you into the final stage of a chess party immediately. They have it for iPhone and very important, also as a physical board. uformia created software very well suited for 3D printing. The CEO Cherie Stamm was an American living in Norway. She softened every Norwegian heart when the said the reason was our beautiful nature. 3D Printing is in my opinion a possibility for the Western society to rebuild the manufacturing industry we lost to China. kikora presented a math editor, which evaluated every

Min korrespondanse er min! Den tilhører verken politiet, staten, teleselskapet eller andre. Lagring utover fakturabehov er en privatsak. Politivirksomhet må kunne begrunnes direkte i forbygging og bekjempelse av kriminalitet for hvert enkelt tilfellet. DLD tilpasser virkeligheten til politiets behov. Dersom vi setter politiets behov foran folkets rett til frihet tar vi det første skrittet mot en politistat. 2. Det er borgerne som skal kontrollere sine folkevalgte, ikke omvendt. Dette ligger i prinsippet om at all makt utgår av folket. Enkelte hevder at DLD kun lovfester lagring av trafikkdata hos selvvalgte, private teletilbydere. Dette er en avsporing. Det sentrale ved DLD er at lagring blir regulert av lovene. Utlevering reguleres av lovgivere ved definert behov og gis til lovgivere el
