Copyright © yoice.net – Quote ArtworkGeorge Carlin on Religion and Bullshit
"When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!"
George Carlin

Copyright © yoice.net – Quote ArtworkGabriele Krone-Schmalz on Image Authenticity and Modern Technology
"And with the technical possibilities available nowadays – which are truly gigantic – no one can say for sure whether something is really as it is presented. In the past, when I was still young, one could – within limits – still rely on the authenticity of images. Not anymore today! Today, there are even techniques that allow you to insert things that aren't there and make things that are there disappear during live broadcasts. I happen to know this very well because this patent was developed at the TU Ilmenau, and I sit on the university council there."
