POPSWalter Kempowski, writer - confrontation between the private and the political spheres of life I remember the first time I read Tadellöser und Wolff being fascinated to discover that the Kempowskis spoke in their own language just like we used to, a mini-dialect, as it were, funny and cosy and irreverent. Talk is laced with self-fabricated Latinisms reminiscent of schooldays , with nautical terms , with Low German dialect and with snatches of hymns, rhymes and advertising jingles, depending on the context. The real sense of the Kempowski family conversation is almost impossible to translate adequately, and this is doubtless is true of all such homemade languages. After all, their purpose is the sharing of common humour and the expression of affection without the embarrassment of becoming too emotional, while at the same time excluding strangers from the conversation.

In the Qur'an and Hadith (sayings of the Prophet), it is emphasized that animals be treated as humanely as any other of God's vast creation. The Qur'an goes as far to say that cruelty to animals is equivalent to cruel treatment of a human being. Kind treatment of animals is considered a good deed in the same sense that good conduct and treatment between human beings is deemed a good deed.

Einstein detested the idea of a personal God who rewarded or punished his creatures, or exercised his will by interfering in events. He felt such an idea was intrinsically connected with human selfishness, merely 'a reflection of human frailty' So what was Einstein's religion? He called it 'cosmic religion' and it was a sense of awe at 'the nobility and marvellous order which are revealed in nature and in the world of thought.. Einstein's view of traditional religion was somewhat ambivalent. He detested any idea of indoctrination or fundamentalism, but admitted that conventional religions had a role in setting ethical standards

POPSDon't treat the old and unhealthy, say doctors Bucket of worms being opened. Who decides if a person is old and unhealthy because of untreated mental disorders caused involvement in a war. This would only create the need for more lawyers. Doctors are earning as much as possibly because they made sure there was a shortage of doctors. Now some have time to get bossy.
