Yea, think how advanced as a society or even the whole human race in general would be if we didn’t have religion holding use back!

I am very each to their own and try my hardest not to judge but its hard to do that when youre having a convo with someone and they tell you straight faced that the story of Noah could and indeed did happen.

The sex education programme from a Catholic University in Austria on EWTN DE did at least have some scientific logic to it but I found it difficult to keep a straight face as in the episode I watched the Professor was speaking to an audience of mostly middle aged folk (possibly high school teachers) every time he mentioned the more explicit subjects there was a fit of coughing from the audience; and whilst explaining the differences between various species and why it makes sense humans should pair for life said the optimum amount of Kinder a couple should raise was up to 20 (!)

Not sure what the Austrian teens actually get taught but only 17% of AT is inhabited and they one of the lowest fertility rate of Europe…

I learned how to remove the protection on PDF files that stops them being printed (I had downloaded a whole load of 1980s era electronics textbooks written for apprentices at DBP-Telekom in 1981 – for some odd reason you can download and read them but not print them; and the text is way too difficult to read on screen, even more so if German is not your first language.

I’d hardly have thought there would be a black market for printed copies of this stuff; particularly as the spellings of many words have also changed since 1981 (even my dictionaries are old; so my German is probably like that of an Opa from Groningen / Kaptain Blaubär anyway).

But I now have copies I can print; far more useful as the whole lot is aimed at a teenager the same age as I was when I got into drugs and partying and wasn’t quite as interested in studying; not as heavy reading as a uni textbook but not as dumbed down as study guides in English for UK teens are.

have I commited Sin in taking these liberties with Die Telekom (yes, she is female)? Only a minor one (as my intentions are otherwise good) – but even if I confess to this in Purgatory I would most likely end up having to repair all the defective circuits especially in remote rural areas so would have to remember this list (it is everything that can go wrong with a telephone line)
