God kill the Queen
Well forgive my ignorance but I just found out today that Canada and Australia are a federal Parliamentary Democracy and a Constitutional democracy which monarch is Queen Elizabeth II of England. OMG they still have some kind of colonial sovereignity!! This is totally new for me since I am such a ignorant and hardly can believe this actually happens in 21th century, hundreds of years after the Age Discovery and overseas expannsion (which started with the intrepid and adventurous portuguese).
So looks like sweet old Lady Queen Elizabeth II (who is filty rich by the way, read:queen) is the Head of State of United Kingdom, Australia, Canada but also of 13 more countries of the Commonweath Realms: New Zeland, Jamaica, Barbados, Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guine, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Luca, St Vincent and Granadinas, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize and St Kitts Nevis!
But there is a total of 17 ex-realms that now are republics: Ireland (except the small north part of it! -.-), India, Pakistan,Ghana, South Africa, Tanzana, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, Guyana, The Gambia, Sierre Leone, Sri Lanka, Malta, Trinidand & Tobago, Fiji and Mauritius!!!
But before they broke with the monarchy, several nations held national referendums on whether or not their citizens supported the adoption of a republican constitution.
Country Date of Referendum % of Yes vote
| Ireland | July 1, 1937 |
56.5%
|
| The Gambia | November, 1965 |
62.3%
|
| Ghana | April 17 - 30, 1960 |
88.47%
|
| South Africa | October 5, 1960 |
52.3%
|
| Australia | November 6, 1999 |
45.13%
|
Australian voters rejected to adopt a republic in 1999. As such they are technically the only Commonwealth Realm to have democratically chosen their status as a monarchy.
Somehow australian folk like to be under such a "nice" crown, well that's their choice, fair enough!
Well my opinion is that this is a completely nonsense to still having a kind of a colonial empire, even being a bit fake! I'm sure it's totally profitable for Britain to have a Commonwealth Realm but let's not say the same to underdeveloped and poor countries such as Jamaica or Guine..well at least for their citizens, not the corrupt governors!.
I don't see any good deeds done in Jamaica or Guine or Belize by the wealthy Bristish Crown, do you see any?
Other incomprehensible thing about British Realms is: what's the point to like to be under a damn european old Queen sovereignity?Besides of you having to pay taxes so they can live in luxury I think it takes away autenticity and identity to a country and folk and this is such an old fashion thing! Look everybody stopped that, there are no more colonies, except yours! -.- (and France too, I guess).
And what about Gibraltar in Spain, how can they still claim that it's the Queen's territory? and North Ireland?
But why do people need a monarchy? How much are they worth?
Let's make some math?
Each year the queen Elizabeth II receives from the government, that is, the british people, USD12.9 million (it is 129 million american dollares!!!).
So, in euros, the monarchy of Queen Elizabeth budget represents about 46 million euros from the taxpayers which makes the Queen the most expensive Head of State in Europe!
The direct heir to the throne, prince Charles,received last year alone, 28 million USD. But the costs are huge: only the salary of its 150 employees consumed this amount, more than 10 million dollars.
Prince William receives an annual salary between $ 74,000 and 68 as Flight Lieutenant in the Royal Air Force.
Prince Harry receives between 50 and 53 thousand dollars as a helicopter pilot of the Army Air Corps, an agency of the British Army.
Here, check it out (but the page is written in portuguese):royal
Also that marvellous Royal Wedding? Wasn't that cute? It costed 30 million dollares and guess who paid most of it....the in love with fairytales british folk, of course.
So this makes Queen Elizabeth the biggest landowner on the planet possessing entire countries!
![]() |
| There are kids in Guine, Belize and so on dying of hunger your majesty, why don't you give 1% (more than 1 million) of your anual income of 129 million dollares to save them? |
I think such a thing as this parasites of society shouldn't be accepted specially for underdeveloped and exploited countries which citizens have no life conditions.
The monarchy is something that made sense in a distant past but its opulence and luxury make no sense nowadays. If british and australians want to pay for their fake fairy tale, go ahead but you should spare the poorest ones, no?
In a near fair future for everyone I'm sure that such a thing as an ostensive monarchy will not exist and free human people from slavery.
A little evolution and enlightenment that's what the world needs!
GOD BLESS THE QUEEN!

Never buy gas again: ride a bike!
So what did some people did? They ride a bike! But I saw on T.V that streets were not prepared for cycling but still people were riding a bike!
That's what we need everywhere where there's no spatial planning for bikes although it's not safe and organized like the wonderful Copenhagen: we shall use it! And put our municipalities governors under pressure to solve this problem!
One of the most inspiring cities I've ever been was Copenhagen, even when it was raining and cold everybody was cycling and everywhere you had large sidewalks for pedestrians, roads for cars and cycle paths por cyclists...and it's a small country!
In Portugal it's very stupid we don't have developed infrastructures to ride our bikes in a way of transportation and just not for sport! Since we have such a good climate, it's almost never cold and rarely rains.
Right now I'm taking my drive licence because it's needed to most job offers and it is even to volunteer in forests! And I want to go surf and there's no direct transportations for beaches, I want to have the freedom to go surf evrytime I feel like to, even in winter. But I should have taken my drive licence 3 years ago but I just didn't want to, I use to say to my parents: "for what? I hope to be in Scandinavian few years from now and there I'll ride a bike everyday". In fact one of the reaons I would like to move to Norway, Denmark and Sweden is to be free to ride daily a bike in conditions!". What made me change my mind too was the new enthusiastic electric vehicles they don't need gas but electricity accumulated on batteries and they expell water not CO2. In Portugal more than half of our electricity is renewable so I'm sure to buy an electric vehicle and I don't fell so bad about driving right now.
There's only advantages to start riding a bike: we have more space in cities, less traffic, it's good for our health, it's good for environment, we spare lots of money since we don't need fuels...and I'm even sure that armed conflicts would end on the Middle East stopping a dirty business.
So everybody start biking! :D
My incovenient truth
![]() |
| YOU say YOU wander YOUR own land, but when I think about it I don't see how YOU can! |
None of this is natural: our living, our cities are so far from nature and everything is so ugly, contrary to most people I know I really hate big cities as New York, Sydney, los Angeles, São Paulo, Hong Kong, Xangai, Toronto, Tokyo, etc, etc! In fact that places are so damn ugly that makes me want to throw up, they realy put me down just for taking a look at pictures!
Lots of people live in freakin small apartments that look like cages, the streets' floor is made of oil tar, everything is grey or black...there's no green grass only in specific areas like parks, there are few natural lungs in cities and if you still breathin you should thank Amazon forest! Let's just hope Brasil doesn't start cutting trees everywhere just to be a bigger econmy!
Me too I live in a hedious small apartment but with few levels, and I just hate it, my parents like the bustle of the Lisbon suburbs, be close to everything, and live in the safety of a cement building...I don't! It doesn't matter if I have to live in a camping area, I would never buy an apartment!
We serve ourselves of the planet as if was its obligation to bear us, we think everything was made for us and we can do everything with it,even disrespect it, destroy its resources and other living species.
Even religion teaches us that Earth was made for us, although we should take care of it (but we can eat animals)!
But is that true? I really think not! This isn't ours!No, not at all!
Our style of living is so demanding that it's needed lots of energy, we steal it from fossil fuels (oil, gas and coil) that are made of fossils with extra carbon concentration, millions of years ago that materials were dinossaur and the corpses of jurassic species...now "we're" invading countries in undercover of free that people from tyrant governmets (when we actually still having our tyrants) and nuclear weapons, making war refugees, destroying foreign lands and killling. It might be true some countries have nuclear arsenal and it's normal we think it can be used for war and not energy (that remains dangerous as well though), the only answer is Global Peace and start looking at Earth as one, because it is just one and all of us have the right to live peaceful here.

| seems like the dinossaurs didn't extinguished! |
Let's take a look of this issue: Climate Change, Pollution, Overpopulation...resuming the problem: ourselves, Human Kind!
Of 178 members of the agreement of Kyoto Protocol (that started in 1997 and finishes in 2012) only one, so far, refused to sign and it is the biggest polluter on Earth: USA (United States of America).
The last country that signed the Kyoto Protocol was Australia.
The memeber countries of Kyoto specially the developped ones with more historical responsability for this problem, have an obligation to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases by at least 5,2% compared to 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012. The reduction targets are not homogeneous for all countries: the emergent economies of countries like Brazil, Mexico, China, Argentina, India, etc did not receive reduction levels so far.
Can't you see this? While you still thinking your economy only can grow devasting Earth resouces you'll never take wealth out of it, because what you're doing is destrooying the Earth's wealth, its resources in which we depend on: does it matter so much to you, to have gas in your car today when your sons and grandsons might have no water to drink? does it matter so much to you, eat meat everyday if that implies the devastation of Amazon forest? I could go on and on, but hopefully I think we get the point of this!We have been enslaving Earth and taking profits of that, but it will come a day Earth is so looted that will have nothing more to give us. Probably in that day this leader generation that is in power will be dead, and who will have to deal with this cataclysm will be next generations: their sons and daughters, their grandsons and granddaughters... inocents that you put on this world consciously or not. And why? because of the actual generation selfishness!
How much polution?
This data are from 2008 (book: The Hot Topic, Gabrielle Walker and Sir David King)
Countries | Tons of CO2 per habitant | Change of Emissions since 1990 | Kyoto objective |
USA | 24 | +15,7 % | -7% (not adopted!) |
China | 5 | +72,7 % | ----------------------- |
Russia | 13,5 | -35,1% | 0% |

The thousands of scientist on this climate panel reached the consensus that the climate is changing, mankind is causing it, society as we know it is threatened and YES we can solve it!
So this is not a moment of pessimism or denial, it's a moment to act in a constructive and determined way...together!

Have a buck? Buy a house!
A dollar doesn't buy much these days (1 dollar equals of almost half a euro, nearly 60 cents) but in Detroit, it can buy you a house!!!
Yes, you heard it right, if you have a buck, instead of a soda can, 10 bubble gums or a coffee (starbucks expresso is worth 0,90 euros) you can buy a house in USA (in the awesome Detroit!).
Just for fun, a dolls house, for example, the Barbie 3 Story Dream house costs 488 dollars but with 1 dollar you can buy the real thing!
In Detroit there are about 80 000 abandoned houses!
Well I was totally shocked when I saw that new, it shows how in bad shape is the USA's economy (the biggest economy of the planet) due to the subprime and the foreclosure crisis!
That's the extreme! So, why is the USA's Moody's rating agency putting portuguese economy at junk? because who is pretty messed up in junk is USA economy.
"In many neighborhoods, homes that were fetching $75,000 just three years ago are now selling for ten cents on the dollar or less. But it's not just Detroit. This weekend, hundreds of foreclosed houses were being unloaded at fire sale prices at giant auctions in New England and New York." (Read: abcnews).
But why this prices? that's because the seller, a bank, was losing thousands each month in maintenance costs and taxes just to hold onto the foreclosed home. So for a dollar you can buy a house and a million package of debts you may have no way to pay! And the owner gets rid of the problem!This is mad!

Corruption is the cancer of a society
![]() |
| ''Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state has become corrupt enough'', Gandhi |
I'm writting this post because I want to do all I can to delate about the incredible injustices that is going on in Portugal: I wish all the world know about this, so please share it!
Ok so I think that the corruption is the cancer of any society but specially in Portugal it's the reason why we are the poorest country in West Europe.
Now I can perfectly understand why we had to ask for IMF help! We have a huge financial hole! And why is it? Well despite of euro coin has made our prices rise (but not our incomes), the EU policies end up with our fishery and agriculture and some industry (and we let it!) there is another reason: political pimps!
![]() |
| the finacial hole |
In Portugal the minimum wage is 416 Euros, lots of families have to live with less than 500 euros per month and there are elderly who worked a lifetime and receive a miserable pension of 200 euros!
But, at the same time, there are politicians that accumulate several reforms from several political positions..multimillion pensions..per month! For example an ex-poltician (named Catroga) ex-minister of finances win 10 000 euros per month. Like him there are hundreds!
And now they want to make a new law to be more easy to fire people, they "think"(?) that in order to make economy more competitive it's need to unfairly dismiss without compensation! But still we found out a pimp who fired himself from a useless public company and he will receive a millionaire compensation (12 000 euros per month) paid with the taxpayer's money! His name is Jorge Viegas Vasconcelos from ERSE. As it was written he dismissed himself because he wanted to put the electricity prices higher! ERSE is to enforce the laws for the energy sector...but we have laws, polices and courts for that! So basically ERSE is one of that things that doesn't matter anything...but it's a way extort money from the populace! There are lots of companies and foundation like that in Portugal!
Do you want to know more? Today I saw a new about Cristina Azevedo the president of the Board of teh Directores of City of Guimarães Foundation, well she is no longer that but she will too receive a generous compensation. Here was her monthy income: 14.300 € per month + free Car + free self phone + 500 € per reunion!
Her partners in the foundation have a generous income too and (shocking) one of the 15 elements of the General Council is Jorge Sampaio (our ex president of Republic) who wins too 500 euros per reunion (more than the minimum wage with which some familys have to live with for a month, and not a more penny!). Outrageous! Disgusting!
In Scandinavia the corruption levels are very low and that criminals are arrested, here they are elected! Blame it on the people who doesn't vote or vote in liers! That's why I admire scandinavian people so much and adore them and respect them more than any folk on this world: the taxpayer's money is used to improve the citizens life, so not like here: steal from the people in order to give to corrupts and cut on social rights and state subsidies! Scandinavia policies are based upon social equality measures here is base on inequality and unfairness!
I remember to read a report in a magazine about what foreign people living in Portugal think about the portuguese people and the country itself, it was funny that a dannish man said: "the portuguese people can be very angry at the traffic road but they tolerate corruption! I can't understand how that can be possible!". Well there's nothing to understand we are idiots!
In a time Portugal is beggiging for the EU money in order to pay our debts we can see this social parasites winning this amounts of money legally stoled from the portuguese taxpayers! And from Eu taxpayers too!!!
How can they say that it's us (honest workers) living far behiond our possibilities? No!!! They are the ones living above our possibilities!
European Union, europeans please help us fighting this problem by showing yourselves as shocked as we are!
If we continue paying this amounts of money for that parasites we will never pay our debts for sure!
So here's another reason why I perfectly understand why Finland didn't want to borrow us money! Finnish honest citizens shouldn't have the risk to borrow money to a country full of corrupts and a lethargic folk! They have a transparent economy and there is not such a thing as pimps!
I started interesting to politics day by day because I wanted to understand what was going on here but I only discovered injustices and I'm trully angry about that: as we live in a democracy and as I'm not a conventional shallow teenager with absolutely no shame or fear for my ideias (or at least I have ideias) but with a huge thirst of justice I decided to write this things here and ask for your help. Words are the deadliest weapon, use them!
Please, spread this all around!

Save the whales
It still exist good people in the worldI and it still happening good news in the World, this one is amazing: a group of people (genuine human) saved a whale caught in fishing nets along the californian coast.
When the whale was released thanked the rescuers rewarding for the next hour those who saved with a dazzling display of dips and joly jumps.
But still there's a lot of things to do so we can save whales: Norway is one of the 3 countries along Iceland and Japan that still hunting whales saying that that's for scientifical purposes and this is unacceptable in even more so called developed countries. We can do a lot to change their mind, signing world wide petitions or even boycott products that somehow are involved with the whale slaughter industry.

Where's the love?
I hardly can believe the news that say that Oslo suffered a bomb attack!
" Early reports indicate that at at least seven people have been killed and at least eight injured in the attack.it's impossible not to wonder if the Oslo attack was an act of terrorism, particularly an extremist group like Al-Qaeda.
A group named the ""Helpers of Jihad!" reportedly claimed responsibility on a Jihadist forum. However, that is just an internet forum posting that has been corroborated independently."
in: norway-attacks
But actually what the recent news say is that it was a norwegian citizen whose political orientation was right wing extremism that consider himself a conservative nationalist, he has been described as a "Christian fundamentalist" by the media and is reported to have written posts on an anti-islamic website.
Well in recent years, immigration has accounted for most of Norway's population growth. The largest immigrant groups by country of origin, in order of size are: poles, swedes, pakistans,iraquis, somalis, germans, vietnamese and danes.
Pakistan Norwegians are the largest non-European minority group in Norway, and most of their 31,000 members live around Oslo. The Iraqi immigrant population has increased significantly in recent years.
In 2010, the immigrant community grew by 57,000, which accounted for 90% of Norway's population growth; some 27% of newborn children were of immigrant background.The policies of immigration and integration are subjected to major controversy in Norway. These statistics indicate that Norway's population is now 82.0% ethnic Norwegian, a figure that has steadily decreased since the late 20th century. (Source: wikipedia)
This criminal made a car explode in Oslo and then went to a camp to murdered 77 people (mostly young from 11 to 19 years old) in the small island of Utoeya: undercover of a policeman he joined a big group of young folk saying he was there for their security because of the explosion that happened in Oslo, and then he surprised the innocent teenagers shooting to everyone and committing a genocide!
The ones who fled from him tried to cross to the other side of the sea but still, that hideous man get int a boat and shooted the ones who were desperately swiming to save their lives!
This is one of the most horror scenes I ever knew that happened in this world, particularly shocking because it was in Norway (one of the most peaceful countries in the world: in the global index peace rankings it is in 9th place on 2011 and in 2009 was on 2nd place and in 2007 on 1st place! peace_index).
So what could motivate a norwegian citizen to do this slaughter?The ones who fled from him tried to cross to the other side of the sea but still, that hideous man get int a boat and shooted the ones who were desperately swiming to save their lives!
This is one of the most horror scenes I ever knew that happened in this world, particularly shocking because it was in Norway (one of the most peaceful countries in the world: in the global index peace rankings it is in 9th place on 2011 and in 2009 was on 2nd place and in 2007 on 1st place! peace_index).
As far as it's speculated it was political motives against the labour party (labour party youth was camping) which is leftist (in politics the word leftist, left, left-wing are generally used to describe support for social change to create a more egalitarian society...so I'm sure that party protects and supports the immigrants).
What's happenning in this world?
We used to see on the news radical islamists causing chaos making explode themselves and killing other people and now we have fools who call themselves christians doing the same???
Everyday somewhere around the world specially in the Midle East several innocent people are being killed or injured by other people that claim to serve God and believe that commiting suicide this way and stealing others' lifes from the unfaithful to (their) God (kafir) they will go to Heaven. They are radical islamits and also kill other muslims who they think they are not real muslims! What happens is that that muslims who can get out of their countries try to have a honest and peaceful life practicing the islam with moral and respect for everyone, specially people who received them well in their country! They pay taxes and they contribute too to the development of the economy of the country!
If there is a God I'm sure he's just one so he is the SAME and HE loves us all, if He's watching what we've done to each others He might be so disenchanted with us! Sure HE would want us to understand and respect each others, kill someone in HIS behalf it's the most humiliating and awfull thing someone can do for HIM!If I could make a wish to God I just wish him to make people act like true humans and have lucidity!What I really believe is that it really doesn't matter what religion you have, or even if you have or don't have a religion,the only thing that matters is if you are a kind person that practises the good amongst the others, if you are moral, respect everybody and so repudiates evil!You don't need a religion to be spiritual. Being spiritual is believing in a supreme being that created the Universe and is miraculous kind.

Retrospective of optimus alive 2011
Well I have to say what I think about that awesome summer festival: optimus Alive 2011 in Lisbon!Well the artists were great I couldn't ask more they picked 4 bads I really fancy but 2 of them I am fan, one of them is my favourite band and it was the first time I saw them: My Chemical Romance, the other band is 30 Seconds to Mars which I saw 4 times.
Well but let's talk about it all, the 1st day I "saw" Coldplay but it was quite impossible to see anything, it was a crowd of 50 000 people and even if I was on the first row I wouldn't see much more than Chris Martin, Chris Martin...and Chris Martin. Well I haven't see anything the place had no ramp so being in the middle or in the last row was technically the same, I saw through the screens, well it had some balloons and lights but the coldplay's quality of sound doesn't match with festivals, I saw too a bit of Blondie but I really hated it and I saw the talented Patrick Wolf and Anna Calvi.
2nd day it was the most important one, after Jimmy eat World it finnaly came there after 4 years waiting: My Chemical Romance. But I didn't get the feeling I expected when I saw my favourite band, they are differnte and I'm different too, they played a lot of the new album: Danger Days True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (but they didn't played SING) and about 5 old songs I was surprised to hear Helena and I'm not ok! Anyway the new album is more electronical and the guitarrists and the bassists (Ray Toro, Frank Iero and Mikey Way) didn't played much, it was all more synthesized, anyway for some seconds I smiled at Gerard and gerard smiled at me, it was very nice of him talking more than most of bands do but the rest of the band didn't interact at all and they have a new baterist (I loved when it was Bob!). I wish they come back anytime soon. Well then after Iggy Pop it was what I can say a true Rock Concert, the Foo Fighters get on stage and Dave Grohl never lost his smile in his face, even the baterist Taylor Hawkins sang "cold day in the sun", Dave said: "we don't need fucking computers we did our album in tapes, music is all about people and instruments...if any band shows up with computers on stage that's not Rock and Roll!". They played for 2h30, they were really amazing!
3rd day, it was a total failure, 30 seconds to mars began at 00h30 when they should start at 23h because of structural problems with the satge and previous bands as The Pretty Reckless and You Me at Six didn't played, 30STM concert was very short but at least Jared was very nice once again.
4th day it was White Lies, the super funny Kaiser Chiefs and Paramore was a surprise I really enjoied their performance even because of the fire sparkling show.
Well I will remember what Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters said while playing Everlong: "if I come back, would you come back?", well I definitely would! And if MCR came bakc of course I would.
But while they don't come back I'll just take a time off american bands and listen what they call World Music, I'm tired to hear music in english I'll explore more about other styles specially portuguese and brasilizan music.
Well but let's talk about it all, the 1st day I "saw" Coldplay but it was quite impossible to see anything, it was a crowd of 50 000 people and even if I was on the first row I wouldn't see much more than Chris Martin, Chris Martin...and Chris Martin. Well I haven't see anything the place had no ramp so being in the middle or in the last row was technically the same, I saw through the screens, well it had some balloons and lights but the coldplay's quality of sound doesn't match with festivals, I saw too a bit of Blondie but I really hated it and I saw the talented Patrick Wolf and Anna Calvi.

2nd day it was the most important one, after Jimmy eat World it finnaly came there after 4 years waiting: My Chemical Romance. But I didn't get the feeling I expected when I saw my favourite band, they are differnte and I'm different too, they played a lot of the new album: Danger Days True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (but they didn't played SING) and about 5 old songs I was surprised to hear Helena and I'm not ok! Anyway the new album is more electronical and the guitarrists and the bassists (Ray Toro, Frank Iero and Mikey Way) didn't played much, it was all more synthesized, anyway for some seconds I smiled at Gerard and gerard smiled at me, it was very nice of him talking more than most of bands do but the rest of the band didn't interact at all and they have a new baterist (I loved when it was Bob!). I wish they come back anytime soon. Well then after Iggy Pop it was what I can say a true Rock Concert, the Foo Fighters get on stage and Dave Grohl never lost his smile in his face, even the baterist Taylor Hawkins sang "cold day in the sun", Dave said: "we don't need fucking computers we did our album in tapes, music is all about people and instruments...if any band shows up with computers on stage that's not Rock and Roll!". They played for 2h30, they were really amazing!
