Oh please, go with the times, would you? Only the third stanza of the anthem is sung, which goes as follows:
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit Für das deutsche Vaterland! Danach lasst uns alle streben Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand! Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit Sind des Glückes Unterpfand; Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes, Blühe, deutsches Vaterland!
Unity and justice and freedom For the German fatherland! For these let us all strive Brotherly with heart and hand! Unity and justice and freedom Are the pledge of fortune; Flourish in this fortune's blessing, Flourish, German fatherland!
I have no problem with anyone having preferences for certain things (or people), but I do very much dislike it when people sell someone else's thoughts as their own. I guess he decided to lock his blog after finding that people disagreed? How lame.
Well, he's welcome here to explain why he decided to plagiarise, but it's like you said - he most likely won't.
Boban, I have no idea what contests you are talking about. I'm not here to win anything - it's just a blog, sweetie, not a declaration of war, and there will be no fighting. Too bad, if that's a disappointment for you.
I would like to ask you to refrain from commenting further on this blog as you're not adding anything to the discussion about the topic at hand.
Go find yourself someone else to annoy, it's not working on me, I'm just laughing about your rather lame trolling.
Oh dear lord, you really are like a dog with a bone, aren't you? I told you before in mail that I'm not interested - how about you start listening for a change and leave me alone? If you don't have anything to say about the topic, you might wanna stop posting here.
Gawd, I just looove disruptive trolls! <-- yep, sarcasm again.
Boban, you really need to start taking your meds more regularly. You are no friend of mine, and you never have been, so get it out of your head that I would care about you. People, I only exchanged a few emails with on a dating site, do not qualify as being my friends. You thinking that that could be the case should make your RL friends worry about you a little...
Bobele, don't flatter yourself, you aren't important enough for me to even want to form an opinion about you - good or bad. And you didn't hurt me back then, on the contrary - you were the one looking a tad bit foolish for having tried to sell someone else's story here as your own.
And yes, there is very much something called intellectual property - the last guy who kinda adopted your argument when plagiarising his PhD thesis, and who ended up failing quite badly doing so, was the German minster of Defense, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg. He lost his title and his job over it. He surely wouldn't have, if plagiarism was nothing but a bagatelle.
Hilarious, Boban. I do remember that I caught you in the act of plagiarising too. Are you still butthurt over me posting the source for your little story?
Hi June, that is most interesting! So the profile (including the picture) might be stolen too? Who would have thought...
I would love to test this theory by having an exchange in German with that guy, but unfortunately I cannot post on his blog. He's very much invited to post here and to explain his actions.
AthenaNike, the topic of this thread isn't feminism - it's plagiarism. People shouldn't even try it in the days of the internet, it's so easy to catch them. Yet some of them can't help themselves...
Here's another source the guy I'm talking about used:
Takemetofrance, after having intensively studied your profile, Santa has decided to go shopping for you himself. .................................
Okay, he's gone now, maybe you should tell us elves your size and what colour you want etc, cos I have the feeling that Santa will get you something pretty, but of little support. He mumbled something about see-through lace before he ran out of here...
I do apologise, Mitsos, it had slipped my mind that you don't like Turkey. Please don't report me to the Duty Elf when he's back behind the desk, he'll just put me back on wrapping duty.
In exchange for that I will get you a reindeer for your BBQ, but it won't be one with a name, and it won't be one of Santa's cos he needs them all. You don't want him to crash his sleigh, do you?

Alright, if you look at it that way...Cheers to that!
