German Member of Parliament Joins Pirate Party
Political Observer writes "Jörg Tauss, a member of the German Parliament (Bundestag), left the Social Democratic Party (SPD), which is part of the coalition government, and announced that he is joining the German Pirate Party (Google translation; original German article). Tauss resigned from the SPD after all but four of the party's members voted for a new censorship law, which passed the parliament on Thursday. The law, which aims at reducing child pornography, introduces an infrastructure for DNS-based content blocking and is the subject of major criticism from Internet users. In March 2009 Tauss became the subject of investigations by the German police for possession of child pornographic material. He said he had this material only for research as part of his role as a member of parliament. Investigations are still continuing."
Will they conquer inferior spelling and grammar as well?
The terminator conquest will be so great, a verb would not suffice in describing it, only a noun could contain it.
Why don't you have a seat over here and tell me what you are doing with 9 year-old ballerinas in your thumbnail cache?
Yeah. Everyone knows it's spelled Konqueror.
The ninja parties are there. They just aren't visible in the polls.
Wow. This must be the first article about Germany where the grammar nazis get mentioned before the actual Nazis.
