en toen
Hier wordt duidelijk met 2 maten gemeten
In werkelijkheid is liegen de wortel van alle kwaad en geld een sociaal smeermiddel.
Maar iemand die geen probleem met liegen heeft zal ook wel met 2 maten meten. Er blijven boze tongen beweren dat de economie stilvalt als we niet meer zouden liegen, het blijkt echt dus het geld te zijn.

PARAPROSDOKIANS
I received this in an email today and thought I should share it with you.
PARAPROSDOKIAN “Figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently used in a humorous situation.”
1. Do not argue with an idiot.
He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it’s still on my list.
3. Light travels faster than sound.
This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
4. If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
6. War does not determine who is right - only who is left..
7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
8. Evening news is where they begin with ‘Good Evening,’
and then proceed to tell you why it isn’t.
9. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism.
To steal from many is research.
10. A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where a train stops.
On my desk, I have a work station.
11. I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted paychecks.
12. Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says,
‘In case of emergency, notify:’ I put ‘DOCTOR.’
13. I didn’t say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
14. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk
down the street with a bald head and a beer gut,
and still think they are sexy.
15. Behind every successful man is his woman.
Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.
16. A clear conscience is the sign of a fuzzy memory.
17. You do not need a parachute to skydive.
You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
18. Money can’t buy happiness, but it sure makes
misery easier to live with.
19. There’s a fine line between cuddling and
holding someone down so they can’t get away.
20. I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not so sure.
21. You’re never too old to learn something stupid.
22. To be sure of hitting the target,
shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
23. Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.
24. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
25. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian
any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

How to make the future
In the 19th century, the future was manufactured.
In the 20th century, the future was programmed.
In the 21st century, the future will be grown.

Religie en geweld in 6 citaten
“Religie laat specifieke dingen gebeuren in iemands hersenen”, schrijft Rik Peters in KIJK 10/2011. De gevolgen daarvan zien we soms terug in het nieuws. Wat hebben grote en minder grote namen te zeggen over de gevaarlijke mix van overtuigingen en fanatisme?
‘Als we het absurde geloven, zullen we wreedheden begaan.’
- Voltaire, schrijver/filosoof
‘In psychologische termen uitgedrukt is een fanaticus een man die welbewust een verborgen twijfel overcompenseert.’
- Aldous Huxley, schrijver
‘Een fanaticus kan in naam van een idee doden, of in naam ervan gedood worden. Maar of hij nu een moordenaar of een martelaar is, hij blijft een monster.’
- E.M. Cioran, filosoof
‘Puritanisme is de kwellende angst dat iemand, ergens, gelukkig zou kunnen zijn.’
- H.L. Mencken, journalist/schrijver
‘Als je tegen God praat, ben je aan het bidden. Als God tegen jou praat, lijd je aan schizofrenie.’
- Thomas Szasz, psychiater
‘Iedereen weet dat fanatisme een karikatuur van de godsdienst is, ongeveer zoals een aap zich tot een mens verhoudt.’
- Edwin Percy Whipple, schrijver
Deze citaten werden verzameld door Leo Polak. In KIJK 10/2011 vind je er meer. Dit nummer ligt van 26 augustus tot 22 september in de winkels.

Everytime I reach for you, there’s no one there to hold on to
Nothing left for me to miss, I’m letting go of this
Lost my mind thinking it through, the light inside has left me to
Now I know what empty is, I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough of this.
Everytime I reach for you, there’s no one there to hold on to
Nothing left for me to miss, I’m letting go, letting go of this
Lost my mind thinking it through, the light inside has left me to
Now I know what empty is, I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough of this

truth in hollywood
Jesus: It's you that say I am. I look for truth, and find that I get damned.
Pontius Pilate: And what is 'truth'? Is truth unchanging law? We both have truths. Are mine the same as yours?
Spock: Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
Edward Darko: I - I know - I'm not the - best communicator, but... whatever happens to you, be honest, tell the truth, even if they do look at you funny. They will. But what you gotta understand, son, is that almost all of those people are full of shit.
[laughs]
Edward Darko: They're all part of this great big conspiracy: bullshit. And they're scared of people like you, because those bullshitters know that you're smarter than all of them. You know what you say to people like that? Hmm? "Fuck you."
Morpheus: I imagine that right now, you're feeling a bit like Alice. Hmm? Tumbling down the rabbit hole?
Neo: You could say that.
Morpheus: I see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, that's not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo?
Neo: No.
Morpheus: Why not?
Neo: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.
Morpheus: I know *exactly* what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Neo: The Matrix.
Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?
Neo: Yes.
Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.
Juror #8: It's always difficult to keep personal prejudice out of a thing like this. And wherever you run into it, prejudice always obscures the truth. I don't really know what the truth is. I don't suppose anybody will ever really know. Nine of us now seem to feel that the defendant is innocent, but we're just gambling on probabilities - we may be wrong. We may be trying to let a guilty man go free, I don't know. Nobody really can. But we have a reasonable doubt, and that's something that's very valuable in our system. No jury can declare a man guilty unless it's SURE. We nine can't understand how you three are still so sure. Maybe you can tell us.
