<p><strong> </strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;Jeden Tag bekam ich eine aufs Maul&#8221;</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>Einst schlägt der Weltenbummler eine Bayern-Offerte aus &#8211; und legt eine kuriose Profi-Laufbahn hin. Knast-Aufenthalt inklusive.</p>
<p>So lautete die Einleitung des heutigen Interview/Berichts bei <a title="zum Interview auf Sport1.de" href="http://www.sport1.de/de/fussball/fus_international/artikel_170842.html" target="_blank">Sport1.de</a> in zwei Teilen. Der Mensch der nach seiner Karriere mehr als nur von sich behaupten und erzählen kann, ich wahr ein Star [...<em> holt mich hier raus</em> ...] .. sondern; Er ist der weltweit erste Fußballspieler, der in jedem der sechs anerkannten Kontinentalverbände einem professionellen Fußballverein angehörte und Geschichten auf Lager hat, die zu mehr als ein Buch/Roman reicht, wie dass neulich erschienene Buch</p>
<p>Lutz Pfannenstiel mit Christian Putsch: <strong><em>Unhaltbar &#8211; Meine Abenteuer als Welttorhüter</em></strong>, Rowohlt, Reinbek 2009, <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:ISBN-Suche/9783499625084">ISBN 978-3-499-62508-4</a></p>
<p>und glaubt man den Kritiken, die vom Geheimtipp bis zum Bestseller alles aufbieten, dürfte das sehr ereignisreiche Leben von Lutz Pfannenstiel, bald um einige Nuancen reicher sein.</p>
<p>Zur Person bei<br />
Wikipedia <a title="Lutz Pfannenstiel bei Wikipedia" href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutz_Pfannenstiel" target="_blank">dt/german</a> // <a title="Lutz Pfannenstiel at Wikipedia - english" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutz_Pfannenstiel" target="_blank">eng/english</a> oder auf offizielle <a title="Lutz Pfannenstiel - World Goali" href="http://www.lutz-pfannenstiel.de/" target="_blank">Webseite</a> von Lutz</p>
<p><strong>Das </strong><strong>&#8220;Project&#8221; </strong><strong>Global Goal</strong><br />
Pfannenstiels neuestes ehrgeiziges Projekt heißt &#8220;<a title="Global Goal Project @Antarktis, Spitzbergen, Serengeti, Kilimandscharo..." href="http://www.lutz-pfannenstiel.de/index.php?idcat=3" target="_blank">Global Goal</a>&#8220;. Dabei will er mit spektakulären Fußballspielen an besonderen Orten auf die Gefahren des Klimawandels aufmerksam machen. Im Dezember 2010 ist ein Spiel in der Antarktis geplant,[3] weitere Stationen sollen das Amazonas-Gebiet, Nepal und Tansania sein. Unterstützt wird das Projekt von namhaften Stars, wie Aldair, Brian Laudrup, Carlos Valderrama, Cafu, Bebeto, Ole Gunnar Solskjær und Stig Tøfting.</p>

<p></span></p>
<p>Ten North Naples Middle School students were suspended after they participated in “kick a Jew day.” The students received a one day, in-school suspension. The parents of the 10 students were also called. Parents of the students who were kicked were also notified of what happened. The Collier County School District has a policy on bullying and harassment. The students were disciplined in accordance with the bullying and harassment policy, which can range from “positive behavioral interventions up to and including suspension or expulsion, as outlined in the Code of Student Conduct.” What do you think should happen to these students?</p>

It will start from the Xtreme SkatePark in East Coast Park, head to Fort Road, and return. Both skaters and cyclists welcome.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Let’s say that you’re thinking about renting a place. You’ve called an agent, viewed a couple of places and found one that you can actually imagine yourself staying in. What do you have to pay?</p>
<p>Generally, your first payments would include:</p>
<ol>
<li>A security deposit equalling a month’s rent</li>
<li>One month’s advance rent</li>
<li>Agent commission, which is half a month’s rent including GST</li>
</ol>
<p>So let’s say you’ve agreed to a monthly rental of S$1,000 / mth with your landlord. Your first month’s payment would then be:</p>
<div>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400" align="center">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="65" valign="top">$1000</td>
<td width="11" valign="top">+</td>
<td width="68" valign="top">$1000</td>
<td width="21" valign="top">+</td>
<td width="79" valign="top">$500</td>
<td width="11" valign="top">+</td>
<td width="53" valign="top">$35</td>
<td width="25" valign="top">=</td>
<td width="63" valign="top">$2,535</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="65" valign="top">(Security Deposit)</td>
<td width="11" valign="top"></td>
<td width="68" valign="top">(Advance Rent)</td>
<td width="21" valign="top"></td>
<td width="79" valign="top">(Agent Fees)</td>
<td width="11" valign="top"></td>
<td width="53" valign="top">(GST)</td>
<td width="25" valign="top"></td>
<td width="63" valign="top">(Total)</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>Also note that you&#8217;ll get your security deposit back at the end of your lease, as long as you don&#8217;t trash the place of course. And I&#8217;ve heard of some companies that charge a month&#8217;s rent for their agent&#8217;s commission. Doubt that&#8217;ll carry on for too long since almost everyone else is charging half a month. Alright, I think that&#8217;s about it. Let me know if further details would be useful.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Saw a Caucasian girl with a silver iPod mini.</p>
<p>Thought it was a rare choice for a girl. Or maybe, a rare choice compared to Singaporean girls.</p>
<p>Observed her interaction with her friend, who was more vivacious and seemingly outgoing.</p>
<p>Reminded me of someone.</p>
<p>-</p>
<p>The Christmas decor along Orchard Road is really very nice this year.</p>
<p>If you looked closely at the hanging globes, you&#8217;d see that the patterns on them were hand-painted. Must have taken quite a lot of effort.</p>
<p>I shall assume, like all else, that they were done up by PICO.</p>
<p>Reminded me of my days in AEP setting up installations for friends. I never got to do my own of course, solely because I was always pulled out of that one practical paper by my parents in cooperation with my tutors.</p>
<p>The one done up by CK Tang is really nice. It <i>befits</i> CK Tang, as I&#8217;ve always known it and always would want to know it. As much as I am not Christian and refuse to convert for personal reasons, I always respect CK Tang. They were pioneers in all senses of shopping in Singapore. Their visual displays have always been more or less unmatched. I only slid into disappointment with them in the late 1990s to early 2000s. That disappointment was, I saw, a slip in standards in this place known as &#8220;Singapore&#8221;.</p>
<p>-</p>
<p>Repaid the 70¢ that I owed the Chinese kopitiam ladies at a certain kopitiam near Coach&#8217;s apartment. </p>
<p>They said they didn&#8217;t remember but I thought just as well: better to be remembered for an honesty than not. Sometimes, a little kindness goes a long way.</p>
<p>I have only one Coach. Sad but true. It&#8217;s a stretch goal but one tough enough, inspiring enough for me to work at it. I see it as a central life goal and so try to use it as an anchor for all other matters and philosophies. </p>
<p>Thus it shall stand.</p>
<p>I try my best to learn from the best. It&#8217;s how I ever got to win a design award despite being questioned over the work for entry into the competition because I was not enrolled as a design student. And that esteemed goal has always been a kind of hope in and of itself.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>One of the things about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bukit_Panjang" target="_blank">Bukit Panjang</a> is that it is deceptively close to the city. You could probably reach <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchard_Road" target="_blank">Orchard Road</a> from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bukit_Panjang_Plaza" target="_blank">Bukit Panjang Plaza</a> in about, 20 minutes, maybe? I remember two years back that it used to cost me less than S$10, but I’m thinking the cab fare will be around S$11 &#8211; S$13 now. The nearest MRT station would be located at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choa_Chu_Kang_MRT/LRT_Station" target="_blank">Choa Chu Kang</a>, and you’d have to take a bus or <a href="http://www.h88.com.sg/images/mrt_bukitpanjang_lrt.gif" target="_blank">LRT</a> to get there. Bukit Panjang’s actually a great place to stay if you’re working in&#160; Orchard Road due to the lower rent and distance.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><blockquote><p><strong>I am in a Freedom-of-Expression dilema. When you learn that your insurance agent supports the rape of females, in particular 13-yr old females, should you allow him to carry on profiting from your existing policies or request an agent change? Even tho&#8217; he&#8217;s been professional in his insr agt services?</strong></p>
<div id="text_expose_id_4b0e65f3b05fa627f9f55"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://wherebearsroamfree.blogspot.com/2009/11/agenda-of-notorapers-exposed-followed.html" target="_blank"><strong>http://wherebearsroamfree.blogspot.com/2009/11/agenda-of-notorapers-exposed-followed.html</strong></a></p>
<p><strong>See comments there.</strong></div>
</blockquote>
<p><em>I posed this question to some of my friends, and here is the conversation. I have decided to pose it publically here, in response to the last suggestion. </em></p>
<p><em></em> </p>
<p><em></em> </p>
<p><em></em> </p>
<p><strong>Person 1</strong></p>
<div id="text_expose_id_4b0e65f3b15264200bd5c">Wow, you know &#8217;solobear&#8217;?! I&#8217;ve been disgusted with his online comments for a very long time. I&#8217;d ask for my money back &#8211; immediately!</div>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>Person 2</strong></p>
<p>Supporting the rape of others is not freedom of expression. I say you dump him!</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>Mathialee:</strong></p>
<div id="text_expose_id_4b0e65f3b1a842184ef93">Not solo bear, but someone else amongst those commentors &#8230;.<br />
I&#8217;m so very tempted to, i&#8217;ve even got the company&#8217;s number and everything already!</div>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>Person 3:</strong></p>
<div id="text_expose_id_4b0e65f3b1d40326a0971">You&#8217;re a private individual. Your desire not to transact as a customer with someone who expresses a particular point of view does not affect their freedom of expression. Go ahead.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Mathialee:</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div id="text_expose_id_4b0e65f3b20393dcc9534">That&#8217;s what i thought too&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p>Yet what is causing my dilema is this :<br />
If the situation were reversed, and he was my boss (say, of his own company), I&#8217;d think it would be most unfair for him to fire me simply because I believe marital rape ought to be criminalised&#8230;..</p></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div id="text_expose_id_4b0e65f3b23c310b23934">And if everyone ceases to do business or work with people who express views they don&#8217;t agree with ( that is unrelated to the job), then it might perpetuate that culture of silence. People will stop expressing their views for fear of such repercussions, and this might also prevent views that need to be heard, from being heard&#8230;..</p>
<p>And yet to allow a person one finds abhorable to profit from oneself,&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. it&#8217;s like doing business with the Myanmese generals!</p>
<p>oh dilema dilema dilema</p></div>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Person 3 again :</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div> I agree, but the employer/employee relationship is different from the client/business relationship. Employees are in a position of dependence, and employers have a position of control, which makes the use of employment relationships to suppress employees&#8217; views oppressive to individuals.</p>
<p>But in a client/business relationship there is more likely to be parity &#8211; in fact sometimes the business has more power than the buyer, because of greater knowledge and the fact that buyers rely on their advice, which is why there are consumer regulations in many industries (including financial services).</p></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div id="text_expose_id_4b0e65f3b530a59823878">Agree with you that a culture of silence is dangerous, however I think this needs to be tempered with the need to create social spaces where all people can participate. So for example I think making employees refrain from saying derogatory things about other races, sexualities etc. in the workplace, to ensure that hostile conditions do not develope for others in the workplace, is fine. They still have the freedom to say things elsewhere.</p>
<p>Do you also think it&#8217;s unfair not to be friends with people whose views you find offensive? That&#8217;s also a repercussion for speech, right? The point is that they have no prior right to your friendship to begin with, they have to earn it and you have the freedom to decide where to bestow it: likewise, I would argue, with consumers and businesses. You have no obligation to keep buying goods and services. (As a socialist, again, I consider employment a separate question.)</p>
<p>The other point is that supporting rape and objecting to rape are just not the same thing. One supports the classification of one set of people as subhuman. The other opposes it. I think it&#8217;s a bit sophistical to try to treat all points of view as the same &#8211; if I object to my co-worker calling me a &#8220;ch*nk&#8221; (not that any ever would!!) that is not the same as my co-worker objecting to working with a Chinese person.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Person 4:</strong></div>
<div>
<div id="text_expose_id_4b0e65f3b56cf13358b7a"> </div>
<div>I think you should tell him what your stand is and let his reaction decide for you.</p>
<p>If he wishes to maintain the separation of personal opinion from his professional capacity, he will probably say nothing/choose maintain the professional relationship. It is ultimately his choice whether the customer relationship or his opinion matters more to him.</p>
<p>On the other hand, if he is uncomfortable or wishes to moralize the issue, then it&#8217;s actually better for the both of you that the customer/client relationship ends.</p>
<p>His cards are on the table, but he&#8217;s not aware of your hand.</p></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Mathialee:</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div id="text_expose_id_4b0e694cb70d66ae58305">I think all of you make a lot of sense, thanks!!! i had been mulling over this for quite a while, really glad to know of all your support, especially because you are all people who see value in free speech.</p>
<p>I like Person 4&#8217;s point about hearin his response first.</p>
<p>I think I will put this dilema up on my blog. If he so chooses, he can respond to me privately, or publically, or not at all. I&#8217;ll protect his identity.</p></div>
