Crazy Things?!

Right now I’m sitting on my bed with my notebook (this is quite a dé jà vu since I did this in Malaysia very very often). And I got to reflect on the last few hours.. Some of my experience within this time just won’t fit into my world view. I’ll start from the last to the first issue: It isn’t new to me that Bamberg can be regarded as virtually dead at night time. Driving home through some side streets it is not surprising that most of the traffic lights are switched of. But on the main roads those are still needed of course. But I would not have expected a taxi driver in the city to be a) speeding and b) ignoring more than one red light…
I knew so far that German Gangsta-Rap can be quite dirty. And I got to admit that there might be some tracks which I don’t find completely sick. But the song “Arschficken” from some Aggro Rapper was really disgusting. Guess I’m just too old to find something cool within the most explicit lyrics of this song. But if there is a discussion why our youth is losing it’s moral than I now know a possible reason. I found an intersting article about the German Gangsta-Rapper Sido here.
If you think that a meeting with the RCDS which is prejudiced as being conservative will be conservative – then you have never had the chance to visit an informal RCDS meeting of its members. You will notice that they are really "normal" students, too. I’m used to rough customs, but today’s topics might be regarded quite dreadful. I got to admit that it might be of some use to investigate the person with the greatest pron collection – but having an open battle in guessing ring-tones was a pain in my ass (I would post a few very annoying ones - but i don't want to infringe any copyright rules).
Edit: Had to clarify a little on some wording (P.S. thanks for the indirect advice on my typo "than" vs "then" Nils - next time you might also feel free to write a little comment, and guide me directly to such a stupid mistake).
And I would like to get straight that on the RCDS issue I can't and don't want to generalize on a whole group of people, since there were very few people left when the outlined events happened.
