I'll start burning FALSE pirate ships as my first priority, as there won't be anything I should fear losing by doing so...<br><br><br><div>> Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2014 15:49:39 +0200<br>> From: thijs.markus@piratenpartij.nl<br>> To: pp.international.general@lists.pirateweb.net<br>> Subject: Re: [pp.int.general] Antonio - do you want to work with us in organizing this movement?<br>> <br>> Oh snap out of it Antonio. No one has ever gotten anything for merely <br>> being right. Being right and having rights is not the end all and be <br>> all. If everyone forgot about them, there would be no rights. Rights <br>> function because they are recognized - no recognition, no rights. Once <br>> recognized they are a symbol allowing for mass mobilisation of human <br>> energy to see to their fulfilment, little different than a national flag <br>> or football team's colours.<br>> <br>> Your attitude is working against this very recognition, your attitude is <br>> why people don't /want/ you to be right and rather listen to the guy <br>> seeing the fluffy fairyland. Show the way you'd suggest to a better <br>> place and there's a good bet you'd outdo the empty sweet talk, keep <br>> moping about and you'll get nothing and nowhere. Your pick.<br>> ____________________________________________________<br>> Pirate Parties International - General Talk<br>> pp.international.general@lists.pirateweb.net<br>> http://lists.pirateweb.net/mailman/listinfo/pp.international.general<br></div> </div></body>
