Sperm Banks, Rent a Belly and other silly ways to create the human product

Well I consider myself as a very open minded person and I'm young too which makes things easiear to accept but I trully cannot understand and even respect certain things that happen in this world: I was doing zapping in a dull saturday night and I stopped for no reason at the BBC channel, there was a new about a sperm bank in Copenhagen and then a young man talked: the director of the bank and showed the place: a room full of  centrifuges, and cold storage compartments full of sperm to be given to women that cannot get pregnant or have difficulties to do that, or women married with a man that cannot pregnant her but they want to have a baby so bad that they resort to these banks, or even women that cannot (or don't want) to get a man for nothing but they want to have a baby as a natural process thing instead of adopting children or small babies abandoned or orphans, they want to get pregnant, have their belly swelling and getting bigger and bigger...and then calve! Natural process with the help of generous professionals in the science of creating (or should I say playing?) with life.
I thought I couldn't be more disgusted than I was but then they showed in that laboratory where all the information was processed: women could choose how they wanted their children to look like by checking on the data base of the clinic the characteristics of the sperm donor (most of them anonymous) and I saw that: blue eyes (available or not available), green eyes, brown eyes, white skin, dark skin, blonde hair, brown hair,etc etc...well this thing has a name it's called: Eugenics.
Well let's see the definition of Eugenics in the wikipedia:
"Eugenics is the applied science  or the biosocial movement which advocates the use of practices aimed at improving the genetic composition of a population,usually referring to human populations. Eugenics was widely popular in the early decades of the 20th century,but by the late 20th century it had fallen into disfavor, having become associated with Nazi Germany.Both the public and some elements of the scientific community have associated eugenics with Nazi abuses, such as enforced "racial hygiene", human experimentation, and the extermination of "undesired" population groups. However, developments in genetic, genomic, and reproductive technologies at the end of the 20th century have raised many new questions and concerns about the meaning of eugenics and its ethical and moral status in the modern era, effectively creating a resurgence of interest in eugenics"
How can we accept and respect this behaviour, then?
I can't understand seriously! And I have no religion, I don't even believe in God so this has nothing to do with a religious view because I don't have one, this has to do with moral, respect for life, respect for the people and for their dignity, Eugenic is totally wrong and unacceptable, people cannot create a human being choosing it as a clothe from a store!!! Eugenics is scientific racism and it should be a crime....
And what about the sperm donors? why do they do that? because they think they are doing some good deed? or are they paid to give that? (I bet they are). Selling your genes, selling your sons to the BANKS...this world has no hope it's the end of the line this is just lost and sad...
If I was a kid of some of that scam mothers I wouldn't forgive them to make me come to the world with the genes of someone that created me but no one will ever know who was and maybe because he just sold his sperm to win a couple of bucks as he beat a wank...seriously I'm so sorry for this language but this is the true about this stupid and rotten world.
And then they showed a photo group of the women with children that had come to that clinic to do their babies, some of them even went there with the kids to tell them where they were made...
And we're talking about a clinic in Copenhagen in the developed Denmark...although I know this kind of clinics are almost everywhere. What must be the slogan of that centre then? "We have the best sperm in town!!Buy two packs now and get a discount of 20%".
Well our bio engineers and geneticists need a job and that woman need to obbey to their biological clock! That's how it is and in the end it is a good deal because that clinics employ many people and even pay the taxes...
Other shocking thing is what's happened in India (this is other new I saw long ago),  infertile couples form the Occident pay indian women to rent their bellies, because they cannot have a kid so they look forward to a fertil woman that can carry their little seeds: his spermatozoon and her ovule...and voilá a kid just like them, son of them, their flesh and bone, blodd of their blood... that kid just came out of an indian's vagina...so everybody is happy, the couple form the occident: the project financiers have their 100% (?) blood baby and the indian woman was just a oven in which that small creature was developed and came out to this wonderful world! The indian woman gets paid and then she can feed their own children. Do you know why they go to India instead of doing the same process in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia or other damn rich fucking hedious nations? because in the underdeveloped countries as India this "process" (baby made take away) is cheaper, on average an indian woman receives about 800 Euros for the process of gestation (less than 100 euros per month!).
Artificial Insemination is in my opinion a stupidity too if people can't have children they should give their love and confort to children that need it, there are lots of unloved children in the orphanages, children that were mistreated, abandoned or who their parents died. But nooooooo, people are narcissistic enough to want to make someone who looks like them, so they can leave a mark in the world when they die, so this genetic inheritance process can be going on through the end of times (even knowing that this actual generation of adults are selfish and don't really care about leaving a world in good conditions to their sons, they put their responsability on them and say that: "Now we can't do anything, is you that have to change this!").
I just wish people could have more respect for themselves and for life, this world as it is now makes me wanna die so I can escape to this filthy world that I hate.
Life and people are not a business!

Burkas and Bikinis

This is not a recent new nevertheless I have to refer to the new law in France that prohibits the use of burkas in public areas. My honest opinion is that that law is an absurd because no one can authorize what people can or cannot wear, specially when we're talking about a developed country as France. That law doesn't respect the free will of the womans that really want to wear burka in the case (of course) of their free will to use it and I think that some of that woman use that not because they are submissive but because they feel more protected. Let's face it, in a rotten world where women can be raped by hideous men this can be a way they use to feel safe. Above all things this is a question of respecting their religion too and if anyone compels them to use that, if this is their free will to use it it has to be tolerated and respected.
Is there any sense to forbid woman to be over dressed when it's perfectly acceptable the public nudity?
If there are women that can be almost undressed there can be women that are more dressed...that's all and I think this way things make sense! Respect everyone!

Congratulations Norway

Today is 17th May, the National day of Norway, a day when all the norwegian people are proud of their beloved country and parade their norwegian costumes (the bunads) in the streets, celebrating the day of their independence and their constitution.But it can show also a bit of their extreme nationalism which is being increased and it's not always a good thing when it might have the risk for being anti-imigartion or at least being xenophobic! Anyway Norway is a very recent country, I mean with their sovereignity recognized (Norway was a colonie of Denmark and then attached to Sweden) but nevertheless they are very nationalists as I said. For example the official language is bohkmal which is almost like danish (written) but someone invented a new language, nynorsk (new norwegian) that is said to be the true norwegian language...when since ever they talked like danish people!
 I have a travelling book about Norway (but I've never been in Norway, only in Denmark and Sweden) and I was delighted to see the proud that people have celebrating this day full of colour, national flags and joy.
 I just love almost everything about Scandinavia even that place being cold, windy and rainy (well I like rain). Even further scandinavian people seem to be much more humble and life seems to be simple (although a bit boring I noticed), people live more in tune with nature and prefer riding a bike than driving their cars but in south countries like Portugal, Spain and Italy people just wanna show what they have, one of that things is their cars:  people cannot have enough money to afford it but they buy top gear cars like mercedes and audis just to seem richer than they are...but in Scandinavia people don't care about showing anything, their lifestyle is so simple, quiet, they don't even seem to care too much about fashion. People in scandinavia seem to care much more about social equity (I didn't see any big differences between citzens) and in the south there are more corruption because people here care much more abouth themselves and their enrichment not working as one, as a country, always expecting to be on top of the social pyramid). But of course people from the south seem to be much more nice.
 So one of these days I'll take the chance to visit Norway.

What the Finns need to know about Portugal

 For the record I totally understand why some finnish people didn't agree to give monetary help to the portuguese state. After all we're talking about a state that doesn't learn with its previous mistakes, in 30 years IMF (International Monetary Fund) has come here 3 times! Countries of south Europe (Portugal, Greece, Spain and Italy) in contrast with the scandinavian countries usually spend more than they have, people from the south seem to have a wealth wish to show opulence even if they can't afford they lifestyle. Want an example? Well last summer I went to Denmark and Sweden and I barelly saw cars, I even cannot remember to see a petrol gas station! and the few cars I saw were not top gear cars (in Portugal there are a lot of top gear cars! Mercedes, Audis, BMW everywhere, it's nonsense!). What I saw in scandinavia is that almost everyone rides a bike even when it's raining...and they have a very cold and rainy weather! And they often use public transports, specially the train. In south countries the weather is sunny and warm it almost never rains but we don't see anyone (at least in Portugal) riding a bike as a way of transportation, if they are riding a bike it's because they're doing sport. One of the reasons is the architectural projects they don't include bikeways. And this is the most shocking example of all. But in Italy too it happens that mafia controlls entire cities! Let's not deny the cancer of all this is corruption and in scandinavia that's not social acceptable but in these south countries people don't really seem to mind about it and they even elect them as their politians! Maybe if the same persons stop giving the same help they'll learn. Anyway a country is only corrupt if its folk is corrupt too I have no doubts about that.
Neverthless I found this video funny and learnt a lot of stuff I didn't know about Portugal! Although we can't live of past glories!

you know when they call you a loser

Don't worry you're not alone in this, by the way keep in mind that everyone label you as a loser but in fact they are the real losers because they need to make someone feel bad about themselves so they can feel good about themselves, they need to highlight your flaws so they can feel more perfect, them self esteem bassis increases when they joke someone who's different, don't mind whatever they say they can't destroy unless you let them, they don't mean anything, they're nothing.
You have a real value, you have qualities but you're just too much concerned thinking of what other people think about you and that doesn't matter it only matter what you think about you. I think most part of our problems are created for other people who surround us but ONLY IF we care about what they say, so believe yourself and deaf from that silly voices. The only person you can count with still being yourself.

heartless?

Tonight I saw on TV a new about a kid who needed a five organ transplant! Well if one organ is very difficult imagine 5! Besides he is a kid which makes it more difficult hence he needed a kid donor which is very rare, his family was desperate and hopeless and thought their son was going to wait for too long but the answer arrived a few weeks later: a donor was found to that kid! The journalist said it was a happy story, everyone was happy and, till that point, I had nothing against but then the dad of the kid who needs the transplant said: "it was a very nice christmass present!". I was brutally shocked, because for that father has the joy of his son can live a kid had to die near christmass time and their parents (who decided to give the organs) had to be very unhappy, so if that kid didn't die his son wouldn't have the organs to do the transplant, so anyway it seems like he was in some weird way happy for the kid have died too.
My opinion about this thing of transplants is clear, I have no religion (in fact I don't believe in religion to me religion it's not a way to get closer to God it's just a fake trick and a lie),and this is just my opinion:  I can't take well the ideia of that the bad luck of  ones is the good luck of the others, the death of ones can be the live of the others. And to be trully honest when someone dies and then parts of their body are distributed for other peoples all around the world I think that people shoould be dead too if they're not it's unfair and makes no sense! And the other thing, carrying an organ of a corpse which stills alive in the body of the other person...those kind of things to me look just like something macabre. You know you can't win death you just can make live least a bit longer but those kind of things look a bit unfair to me, I'm not talking about giving blood to me that's fine even because I gave blood and I'm a marrw donor, but give life to someone else when for that you needed to die (not on porpose of course)...
I don't know I just think it's a bit repulsive someone can be happy receiving organs from a person who died because so they can be happy someone had to die and some people wait for too long for the day someone compatible dies to receive the organ...if it happened to me I think I would live all my life as guilty, and I wouldn't like to donate my organs or have it taken like they do in hospitals, in some countries if that body is from someone healthy (and young) they take it without permission...I think that's stupid and unfair. I don't know I was born in 1989 but what happens in the world it's not normal and acceptable to me. I'm sorry if I look heartless to almost everyone but deep down I know I am a person much better than almost everyone else because I just want life to be fair and to be honest be happy living a few years more with organs of someone who's dead is unfair and not natural. And other thing: the aspect of that the death of something cause the the live of the others to me is so disturbing that I am a long time vegetarian (wel I stopped eating meat when I  15, but when I was like12 I struggled to be vegetarian although my parents did not accepted and I couldn't be 100% vegetarian). Being a vegetarian to me means this clearly: I don't want take life from others so I can live and I refuse myself to eat animals because I have no right to take off their lifes so I can feed myself (fortunatelly there's other ways).
By the time you may think what a selfish person I am and that I would think differently if I needed to receive an organ or even if someone I love needed to. My answer is: I wouldn't accept somebody else organs if that persons are dead and I refuse myself to give my organs when I'll be dead. BUT I wouldn't mind to give a kidney to someone else if they needed too because I have two kidneys. 
Once a saw a documentary where they showed how people use our organs after death...well some parts of us are incorporated in pharmaceutical products! isn't this repulsive? it just disgusts me! I think human body is not a businness!
Does it make me a bad person couldn't be happy knowing I due the continuation of my life to somebody death? I know I wouldn't live in peace with myself! But that's me.
I wouldn't give my body too because I think mybad luck doesn't have to be the big luck of the others. If I must die why should other people continue living with a body they don't own, it's not their body you know...
what could possible that people do to deserve living a life they shouldn't live? Well I don't know!
You can't say I am a selfish and machiavellian person but I know myself and I don't feel like I am that, contrary to must people I know I help the others in many ways: I give money to the poors, I help people with problems or difficulties they have without demanding anything else but a thank you, I divide what I have with others, I can share my things, my money, my time, I even did things that damadaged myself to help other people, I even have courage to work on a smile when I have awfull days...you know what? when I see injustice I can't accept it, I don't pretend I didn't see that, I take action and make what I can to replace justice, I can put myself on somebody shoes and try to understand them, I am so sensitive that I cry whenever I see other people crying and I feel happy when other people are happy...but only when that doesn't involves the others' misfortune! For example I wouldn't be happy if someone to not be hungry had to kill an animal.
And all those people praying to God to give them the organs they need for them or for their beloved ones to survive. Do you really think God hears you? It's not God giving you anything it's death! It's not a second chance God gave you it's chance taken from somebody else! Do you think God cares about that? He walked over many many millions of years ago and if he's watching, if he hears you he would do nothing. If God wanted us to be immortal he wouldn't ivent death, you wouldn't need or want to reproduce.
And if they ask me if I wanted to at leat donate my organs to be studied in a medical class or in laboratories my answer still would be no. Why? human people demand more life conditions and they destroy their own planet, human people say that in name of science we can improve people's lives but all I see is thei thirst for profits, I don't see the majority of us really caring about our Home, I see humans destructing more than constructing, I don't really think I should help people living to destroy Earth.I think humans only do shit: they murder, they kill, they destroy! But make me belive you and so I'll change my mind, at least I want to still make part of solutions not the problem.
To me who's selfish is that persons that can live quiet and happy even knowing they carry a part of life that doesn't belong to them...
And all this just to say I don't think I am heartless, on the contrary, I think I am trully someone much better than everyone else can see and understand. My biggest issue is not to try others to love me just because I think and feel like anybody else.

30 seconds to Mars in Portugal December 2010

I forgot to post it before, but 16th December at Lisbon I went to see for the 3rd time one of my favourite bands on Earth: 30 seconds to Mars, The Hurricaine Tour. This time there were about 18 million people in the concert, amazing because in the two concerts in Portugal in 2008 at the first one theer were 3 million people and as 30STM received  a lot of fans' request to come back soon becase they hadn't the chance o see them (the concert was in a small Coliseum) they came back after the European Tour (which ended at Portugal a few months before they come back) and to the Atlantic Pavilion there were like 5 million people...and this time there were 18 million, it means: Sold Out!
The have a new C.D: This is War which is very good actually, very progressive rocka nd new wave punk, it has amazing songs such as: Closer to the Edge, 100 suns, The Night of the Hunter, This is War and A Call to Arms (you gotta listen if you didn't yet).
I really enjoid the concert although the 1st one was my favourite (the 2nd album: A Beautiful Lie stills being my favourite although this new album is absolutelly great too), the acoustic of big pavilions destroyes part of the musical quality and Jared's voice was a bit husky and nasal because of the wearing tour, he painted his hair blue (and he's so handsome with black hair) but the high point was his interaction with the public: hw called fans to the stage, talked with us, and promised they will be back (I regret the others members of the band hadn't speak because to me a band it's not a vocal leader and it doesn't matter if he's a hollywood star LOL).
Next time 30 seconds to Mars will be in portugal I will be there too.
My favourite quotation of them is in the song 100 suns:
"I believe in nothing, not the end and not the start
I believe in nothing, not the earth and not the stars
I believe in nothing, not the day and not the dark
I believe in nothing but the beating of our hearts
I believe in nothing one hundred suns until we part
I believe in nothing not in sin and, not in god
I believe in nothing, not in peace and not in war
I believe in nothing but the truth of who we are"

The Social Network

Today I went to the cinema and finnally saw the movie: "The Social Network", it's about the most popular social network in internet: Facebook. Well I really liked it, it corresponded to my expectations and I really identify myself with the protagonist (Mark Zuckerberg who invented facebook): he can make girls hating him or run away from him, I do the same with boys, I usually say things people don't like to hear although it's true...they say that the point it's not to say or not my opinion but the way I express myself, I won't change this about me because to me being frontal it's a quality, some people called Mark in the movie: cretin because he seems to be so empty about feelings, he'll do anything to reach what he wants and don't let anyone take the shit out of him, the trick for that is being suspicious about everyone who surrounds you...specially that persons who smile at you the most: today they smile, tomorrow they will betray you, their honesty is like a back that hides a knife, trust me. What I think is that people don't understand that the fact of someone hides his emotions (to protect himself to get hurt) it doesn't mean he hasn't emotions!
In this case is Mark that actually betray his only friend putting him out of the project, but he never really trust the others who just want take advantage from him. Other thing about Mark and me is the thirst of revenge, never stop until the other person feel as bad as they made us feel, the other thing that it's similar: we both hate hugs. Mostly differences: I really hate computers, I don't know how to program anything,  Mark really wants to get envolved in the social thing and get in the clubs of the popular ones, well I really don't care about that, I really don't like that thing of being popular I think it's just stupid I like to spend most part of my time alone without being bored, the other thing is that I really don't want to be rich.
Back to facebook, in six years it has 500 millions of users and it's always movin' up (if facebook was a country it would be the 3rd most populous of the world), Mark Zuckerberg is the the newest billionaire ever (25 years old) and  facebook worths 25 billion dollars!!! From day to night Mark went from hacker to revolutionary entrepreneur.
It's so ironic that who put 500 millions of people together at the same time couldn't relate normally with the people who surrounded him and the foundations that he created  were based on realtionships that he destroeyd.
To me this movie is about of a beautiful mind, a visionary who changed the world: socially, technologically...a genius of this Age who protected his ideia until the ultimate consequences but at the same time I think this is a a portrait of a tragedy: he lost some important friends to him in order to reach the fortune, the fame, the profit (even betray his only friend), in the end of the movie Mark seems to be sentenced to an empty life clicking on the refresh button of his laptop waiting for a human relationship that will never come (as some of us, who really have 300 freinds or even more? or even less?You may have added people in facebook but wherever you see them you and that person just pretend they don't know each other...although you got access to their privacy in the social page! It's typical nowadays we talk more to people through internet than face to face, for example I have friends that I don't see for months, they don't really seem to be interesting in hanging out with me because they refuse my invitations (of course I quit asking) but they keep saying how much they miss me... I really think it's such a loser thing you try (in vain of course) to have friends only through internet, and it's ridiculous you think you can maintain a friendship doing that! After all what you're doing is talking through a damn machine you're not being human, those relationships won't be human too and so they won't be genuine).

You're not happy you're blind

You're not happy, you're blind as the Happy Prince was. He lived his entire life closed in a castle with plenty life conditions: gold, jewels, clothes, luxuries, food...everything seemed to be so perfect in that castle that he never wanted to go outside...but when he died they made a magnificent statue of him made with gold and jewels and put it into the centre of a city, now he could see everything, now he could see the reality...it was not perfect, happy and beatutiful as he thought when he was alive and lived inside the castle walls. There were people starving, passed out cold, there were people suffering, there were people crying, there were injustices,  everything looked awful...the Happy Prince saw the reality...it was not perfect, it was not beautiful, it was not happy...
So with the help of swallow he helps the people in need, the swallow takes away his jewels and give it to the people, as they stay together and time goes by the little swallow and the Prince fall in love and want to continue help the people, but time runs out and the summer is over, the swallow doesn't migrate with the other birds to stay with the prince and dies with him.
I love this story, it really is about how I see the world, people usually call me pessimistic but what I think is that the world is terrible and it is just stupid you try to blind yourself and avoid the truth. Just don't run away from the truth, try to change the reality for better.

Mr Nobody

"There comes a time in life where everything seems narrow. Choices have been made. I can only continue on. I’ve done everything to reach this point and now that I’m here, I’m fucking bored. The hardest thing is knowing whether I’m still alive." Mr Nobody

I'm about to go to my 3rd show of one of my favourite bands in the world next thursday: 30 Seconds to Mars. I just love them as a band and I started watching the movies in wich Jared Leto (the vocalist) played a role (he is an actor too), and I was very surprised to see the quality of his performance as an actor!
The films I saw where he participated is: Requeim for a Dream, Chapter 27, Alexander the Great, Lord of War, Panic Room and  his most recent movie: Mr Nobody (2008), there is a few information about that movie, I never heard about that before but once I saw it I just loved it!It's already one of my favourite movies ever and I recommend you to watch it.
The story is about a boy, teenager, man that doesn't exist called Nemo Nobody, the angels forgot to erase his memory before he has born and so he had the power to control time: go back and  and forth it , erase it, modify it and experience multiple realities. Whenever he has to choose between two important hypotheses he usually stays indecisive, and if he regerets his option he goes back in past and do otherwise he did.
Well during his lifetime he had three different experiences, three different lifes and at the end it all mixed up, it was quite confusing but the movie has a bit of science. It was about time, go back and forth it, how the universe, time and space started and over, what happen before, what will happen after?
So we all are quite sure it all started with the Big Bang, that big cosmic explosion that created everything that exists including space and time, before that episode nothing existed. The scientists (Hubble for instance) proved that the Universe is expanding the doubt is if the Universe will continuosly to expand and lose energy or will reach the limit of  expansion and end in a Big Crunch, the physical phenomenon that will make the whole Universe return to the small ball of fire that created everything?
Well at the movie: Mr Nobody, the Universe "ends" as a Big Crunch and so the time goes back and everything that people lived and happened in the Universe happens again but from back to front because there is a shift towards the entropy.  I really was astonished when I saw Mr Nobody dying and then live again doing everything again but from the last moment to the first.
At certain moment in the film someone asks the 120 old Mr Nobody if he believes in life before death and he answers him: "how can you be sure to be alive?". Think about it, how can you be so sure that you are alive and everything surrounding you is real? one day this will all be over and after all it's like it never ever happened.
Basically this movie is about how a simple choice can change our lives forever, and how it could be different if we choosed diferently. It was a great moving, really, one of the best I have ever seen!

sharp rise of fees in english's universities and the problem of the European crisis

I heard the news that said that the english government decided to raise to triple the fees that the students pay to study in England and cut on the scholarships.  This decision had to be maid, said the politicians, because austerity measures are accurate to solve the problem of the economic and financial crisis.  It's so ironically funny that the argument of crisis is always used to justify everything the politicians decide to do against their earlier promises and electoral programs that made reach the power of governance...now their voters (young people mostly) see that it was all just a lie, it seems that it doesn't matter as long as you try to know about policy and try to vote consciously because they say this and tomorrow they'll do otherwise. How can governors make people vote right if they just don't give them reasons to believe them anymore?
Of course there is a crisis going on in Europe, but the world wide governments only decide to cut in the rights of citizens, rights that everyone deserve and fought for it, including the right of a fair and free education! I'm not tottally against to pay something to be in college as long it's not too much to be unsupportable for everyone! But what the english government did was to transform the higher education and the access to study in universities into a business, and the students into clients! They want students to pay three more times than they paid before! They paid 3000 pounds before and in the year 2012/2013 the have to pay 9000 pounds per year (approximately 10 000 euros!!!), it's way to high! And students in university usually don't have the time to work and study at the same time, and if they work they will receive the minimum wage or less missing work conditions (for example in some countries in Europe it was made a law to facilitate dismissal of employees by employers and the salaries of civil servants won't be raised anymore...and this all is happening while banking capitalist lead their banks to bankruptcy and it's the money of the citizens that is used to plug the holes, this is all happening in a continet where the luxury hotels are increasing and the luxury brands are being more and more purchased, at least when I'm going down on the street I see a lots of expensive cars, and on the TV I heard the traders of brand name clothing stores and other goumet products saying that they felt no shortfalls in sales...but I see to even more beggars on the street, more and more robberies..and most of misery I believe we don't see because unlike the luxury that everyone wants to show and dash when it comes to misery and poverty almost everyone wants to hide it). So what's goin on afetr all? Can't you see that? The number of rich people is raising and the number of poors too! This society has becoming increasingly unequal and more and more unfair! The crisis it's always the same who pay for it: the poorest ones, the honest ones, the workers with their rights taken! What about the capitalist employers? they have more and more power, more and more money exploring their workers and they count with the help of  corrupt and capitalist governments!!!
But going back to the fees in England, what this measure really ? it means that only if you have rich parents or you work to the bone having more than a job (and no time for study) or even if you borrow money from a bank and spend years after graduation trying to pay what you own to the bank more the extras interests they require as time goes passing by... in other words Universities will be for the elite society!!!
And this law is so so stupid that the money the English government borrow to students through the Tuition fees Loan will increase the loan rates year by year! And it's so stupid that who was born or lived in England for more than 3 years and wants to go to Scotland (where it is free) or to Wales (where students pay 3000 pounds per year) will continue to pay the 9000 punds per year!!! This is so stupid I cannot even belive it's true! Well I live in Portugal and the higher fees students pay to study in a public university per year is 1000 euros, one tenth of what english students will pay! And there are often protests of students against the fees, they are continuously trying to eradicate fees!! If the politicians in Portugal try to do such a thing here I'm quite sure they couldn't do that because we wouldn't let them do that...a Revolution would happen I'm quite sure. Maybe it's what England needs! Of course we need cuts but where to start? Have you ever considered to get rid of the Royal Family?

Basically they are parasites of society and squander the people's money in order to live luxuriously (like Kings and Queens of course), they are the only people who don't pay taxes (well they are the taxes!), they don't work, don't have any importance in policies of state, the only thing they have to to is to avoid scandals (but English Royal family not even can do that!) they always have to act politely and say things that were thought and written before for somebody else probably, they have to hide their emotions and opinions, they are just figures of state that represent England and full the english tabloids! And they cost money! Lots of money! Shouldn't the government cut in some of their privileges? you could try to sell the private jet, the jewels (probably they have blood diamonds too), the Rolls Royce, the Louis Vuitton clothes they ony wear once...or could they have a job like everyone else and do something profit to their country!? After all what did they do to deserve living like that? nothing! They descend from other kings and queens okay that's nice for them, but why do the crown have to exploit the crowd?

For example, Denmark, they have the oldest Royal family in the world, one million years in the crown, and dannish people love to have a Royal family and the english too, but look in Denmark students in university don't pay anything! And England is said to be one of the most developed countries in Europe and what happens? they triple the fees!
Concluding, the english Royal family: Prince Charles and his adorable wife Camila Parker Bowles were completely shocked when students cracked window of their Rolls Royce and England is shocked too.
The only thing I have to say to that youth is: continue fighting for your rights, what England needs is a Revolution! Never stop fighting, never think it is useless to protest, never shut up, never give up!

Imagine...

It was 30 years ago in the fateful day of 8- December-1980 when John Lennon an icon for the hippie youth and all the pacifist was brutally murdered. Even not being present on Earth with us anymore he will never be forgotten, because he did wonderfull things to inspire humanity being better...there's nothing more we can do beside follow his message of peace, I wish he was alive...but as it's not possible at least let me IMAGINE...

Imagine  (John Lennon):

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say, I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one



Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A Brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say, I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

John Lennon - Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say, I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A Brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say, I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

my letter to Santa Claus

Dear Santa!
This Christmass I will ask you for something new: I don't want trendy clothes, random books I never got the time to read, chocolates I should not eat or pc games I don't play anymore 'cause I learnt to live only the real life (for God sake!), I really don't want any material things you could easily give me and I refuse myself to accept or give to somebody else.
For this christmass I just want friends, maybe they exist and surround me everytime but I just can't see them, everyone look so strange and away from me. I would like you to help me out with this.
And I know it's rude not accepting the gifts that it's offered to us but I'm warning you that the old boring version of friend I don't wana have it and I will return all of them before the warranty expires.
Just help me how to find out people who I can share good moments and deserve my friendship, 'cause I won't be broken again.
With love:  Celta

Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too

I believe in nothing and I'm tired of people boring me me up trying to convince me to their religion...is this the end of the world?is this the apocalypse? bring on the champagne 'cause I'm already celebrating it. Should I care too much for the afterlife? should I be obcessed with eternal life? should I want eternal life? should I want to be save? should I be scared of the revenge of that merciful God? I don't think so! One life is enough I think it will be very boring to live forever in this Earth or the other one...living forever just doesn't make sense. I don't care about when I'm gone I live here in the present, I don't think I should do good deeds so I can go to heaven or be ressurected from the dead to live in the new paradise that you call the new Earth...I'm not selfish or greedy, I'm not honest and kind so I can get any rewards, and all that obcessed people so blind thinking they're owning the truth trying to convince they actually are saying the truth, that their religion is the right one...and you hear from the other one who has a different religion and he says: "no this is the right one!", you got infinite truths and everyone wants to make you belive in their truth! what about your truth? what do your mind say to you? at least my mind tells me that I can belive in God even if I don't have any religion or belonging to any sect, I can be spiritual and nonreligious...after all religion is something created by humans! The religious books were writteh by humans! And after all has God created us or have we created God ?My mind says me too that I really shouldn't think we are the greatest creation in the Universe...compared to the Universe we're nothing! If we disappear the Universe will not notice, we're minimal, a second or even less in the clock of the Universe...we mean nothing and we don't do anything right we just keep destroying everything we can in order to have profit, my mind says me too that I will never ever have any religion again because I think it's a source of conflicts and stupid wars between nations...people are so obcessed living before the death that they don't enjoy they're true life, the only life they could be 100% sure that they have...some people that are radical islamits really think that exploding themselves and killing other people that don't have the same religion as them or don't do what they think they should although being muslims they really can go heaven and God is proud of them! Everything I've ever read about God is so tenebrous and scary that I think that they don't love God they just fear him! But they say that God is infinitely kind, perfect, friendly...but this God seems to be wicked, resentful, mad, vengeful...
What I think too is that if there is any (good) God around he took a vacation or he forgot us or even he doesn't care for us...because he really don't seem to be present in anything, he just let inocent people die specially that poor people that die from natural disasters, and if God is omnipotent and omnipresent he could save them! A good person could give everything to help or save the other including give someone his life, but God if he's seeing everything he just stand still doing nothing...
Some people say it's the course humanity chosed: to live without God and all this disasters, all this horrible life is a consequence of we let him go because we didn't obey him...but still there are so many people follow him and try to live in tune with God and it's exactly that people who suffers the most! He's not even there for his followers? Now maybe I can understand! They don't have any choice than keep hope alive thinking life could be better afterlife...
Well this is all I can say, I don't fear death and our death will mean nothing for the Universe, who knows there can be trillions of civilations out there, the space is infinite within our reach, if our existence is a briefly moment in the Earth's existance what about us in the Universe???
All can say too is that we should treat the Earth with respect and all the living forms on Earth including ourselves, we should understand how stupid it is to kill someone even more when it's about religion! Believe in anything you want to if that makes you happy but do it peacefully and be tolerant with who thinks otherwise.
