Possible Things to Say...

It can't be easy being a parent. Before I commence, I'd like to pay my respects to all parents in the world: God bless you! I have always found it so cute when kids start saying what they want to be when they grow up (of course half of them end up by being something completely diverse of what they had initially planned): ballerina, fireman, police officer, doctor, singer etc. And parents always bear proud and shiny faces. However I wonder which look their countenance would bear, and what reaction they’d have, if their kids would convey their wish to be an undertaker, for example... But there is worse... Please allow me to share 4 unusual professional paths that kids could dream of pursuing; and the possible things their parents could tell them. I. “Mom, dad; I want to be a whore.” Possible reaction : oh sure, darling; if that is your dream job. Of course the family will support your decision...when you’re 60. Until then go to school, finish your

Positive Discrimination...

…What the bloody hell does this mean? Last week, I heard some disturbing news: gypsy children are receiving their academic education in a container, separated from the other kids (who are being lectured in a recently refurbished school). This class is comprised of 6-16 years old children – all mixed together. This is happening in the Boa Negra primary school, in Barcelos (North of Portugal). The justification offered, by a governmental institution (that oversees educational matters), is that the school is executing a positive discrimination (plus, it is not a mere container, it is one with A/C: oh, that makes it all better, doesn’t it?). Discrimination : “The practice of treating one person or group of people less fairly or less well than other people or groups”. How can treating these gypsy kids less fairly even be considered positive? The gypsy community is known for not allowing their female children to go to school – despite what the law says (and in

A comment on two issues...

Une quéstion Musulmane (a Muslim issue) France has taken a few legislative steps concerning the Muslim customs, which have appalled a few people. For example, Muslim women are not allowed to wear headscarves in state schools; the government is searching for ways to ban the use of burkas (since it is understood that they “reduce dignity” and France “cannot accept to have (...) women who are prisoners behind netting, cut off from all social life, prived of identity,”) and more recently a Muslim lady was prevented from swimming, in a public pool, in a burkini (image above) due to hygiene purposes (the pool prohibits the use of several kinds of swim wear). Some defend that it represents an attack to the Muslim culture; but I’d say it is a defence of the European culture and tradition. The burka (and its derivatives) is a symbol of female repression and submission. Europe has already had its share of repression, in the past; it fought against it and it will not go back ther

Complement of State & Church: Path to Peace?

Gothic Bathroom - Jean Baptiste Mallet The nihilists, who can't be bothered to exercise self-discipline, will argue that Religion is the "opium of the people", a control system that precludes creativity (I'd say Da Vinci, Caravaggio and others would disagree), food for the simple minded, the gullible; and the root of wars. But the fact is: religion is the foundation of culture and it can contribute to peace and understanding.

The Lusosphere: East Timor

Timor derives from the Indonesian word Timur , meaning "east". Before the Portuguese arrived in Timor, there was already in the island a small population of hunters and farmers. There is documentation proving that this island maintained commercial ties with China (around the VII century) selling slaves, bee wax, sandalwood and noble wood (used to manufacture luxury furniture). 1512 : the Portuguese arrived in East Timor. For 4 centuries the Lusitanians only used the territory for commercial purposes (thus, exploiting the island's natural resources: sandalwood & coffee). Unlike they had done in the other colonies, the Portuguese never developed this island (for instance: only during the XX century, after the 60's, there was electricity, potable water, sewage systems, schools and hospitals in Díli [the capital of East Timor], all the rest of the nation remained undeveloped). August 1975 ( a year after the Portuguese Carnation Revolution of 1974 )

Me Young You Old, You Young Me Old

Love is a magical feeling: it brings light into the household of darkness; it bestows upon you happiness; it softens the hardest of hearts; it melts the iciest of beings and helps us to evolve. Love ignores the boundaries of age. However, society has managed, once again, to express its bigotry, lack of sensibility; poor judgment and, foment sexism even when it comes to feelings. Who the bloody hell decided that a lady (let's say, in her 40's or more) should not be involved with young men (for example, in their 20's or 30's)? Moreover, why are they labelled as cougars or pumas when they do so? We all know that whenever a lady falls in love with a younger man, people will either say "Oh, he's after her money" or "Oh, he's seeking for adventure with a more experienced woman" or even "What a waste! So many beautiful young ladies around, and he chose to be involved with an old bad". Let's analyse these ridiculous
