About religions and bacteria: democracy should be better applied in Europe.

Politically speaking, Europe believes in democracy. Elections are the tool used to decide who the majority wants. The minority loses its right to be represented, but it is not wiped out of the planet face. For sure, the minority has less power in taking decisions affecting the entire population. I do not understand why this democratic principle cannot be applied to religion. If the majority in a country is Catholic, what is the meaning to remove Christian religious symbols from public places? On the contrary, there is place even for other symbols.

There can be integration and sharing of common goals only by respect of different tradition and cultures – not by making tabula rasa of all of them. It is like when a house floor gets cleaned with anti-bacterial agents: as soon as it is perfectly cleaned, the strongest bacteria, resistant to the agent, will take the entire place over. Let’s wipe out Christianity from European public places: some stronger religion will come in. And we will have no agents to get rid of it. Atheists, who constantly fight against something they don’t believe in (!) are still the minority, or am I wrong?

The age of stupid: somebody should start jumping off the cliff

Stupid seem to be a fair amount of our population: even a movie was made on them. I can trust this movie as I also meet stupid quite often on my blog. They usually write things like Mother Nature love us, God created this planet as perfect, we are the Chosen ones we have not to worry, the ones having a shitty life deserve it and so on.

If this link still works, watch the Age of stupid. Better, rent it. Fairly enough, this movie is not a catastrophic sci-fi: it is a documentary on past and present situations. Make this movie watched: maybe after it less people will care about their own square of sand while the tsunami approaches..

On the way to be converted to Islam while flying to Netherland…

… without having asked for it. Actually, it was my fault: a Muslim looking guy alone on the plane seat aside me plus my curiosity to exchange a few words with him (as the plane had been delayed for 4 hours, I needed to talk to somebody during the 2 hours long flight).

We started complaining about the flight delay, but we quickly switched from small chat to the experiences of a Muslim living in Europe. Mistrust from the neighborhood, mistrust at the working place, difficulties to find appropriate food and to respect religious traditions… and exactly here my personal 2 hours long nightmare started, here, when he started to talk about religion.

One world, one God: the absurdity of multiple religions – the power of belief as revelation

I don’t like how people react when I say I believe in God. Nowadays it is difficult to pronounce the words “I believe in God”. God is immediately associated to church and to crimes committed by it and its followers. To my opinion, God has very little to do with religion and church. By the way: you are free to deny God existence and you are free to believe no Creator exists. However, many other people think the opposite, so you have to cope with them – as they quite influence the life of everybody else.

Are people lives expendable to maintain the American empire?

The questions raised in this documentary are urgent. Are the lives and dreams of the ordinary people from Chile, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, Palestine expendable, to keep our society safe as they want us to believe?

Is the alternative to the American empire really as dreadful as they tell us since the end of the Second World War? Is American way of life bullshit or dream?

We will never know it, because we can experience alternatives. But this documentary let us stop for a moment and think, if really life are expendable for the national safety of the most powerful nation: the United States of America.

Great job from John Pilger.

Are people lives expendable to maintain the American empire?

I have friends from Chile: I would like to know what they think about this.

La Caduta di Silvio Berlusconi

Questi maledetti comunisti non perdono un’occasione … pero’ quante risate

Diktatur des Lächelns – Italien unter Berlusconi / La dittatura del sorriso

Quei comunistacci degli Austriaci ne hanno combinata un’ altra della loro. Questa volta accusano l’unto del Signore, On. Pres. Silvio Berlusconi, di essere un dittatore col sorriso.

“L’Italia sotto Berlusconi è un documentario andato in onda sulla televisione pubblica austriaca (ORF) che parla di Berlusconi in tutta la sua controversia. Un resoconto di come vanno veramente le cose in Italia, partendo dal controverso G8 di Genova 2001, passando per il G8 2009 situato nellepicentro di un terremoto. Si parla di ronde e delle scelte in conflitto tra loro di questo governo. Di potere mediatico e di illegalità diffusa in questa Italia che sembra andare alla deriva. Il paese di programmi Culi e Tette e di Puttane pagate dai politici. Si parla di tutto ciò che in Italia non sentiremo mai. E, temo, questo documentario in Italia non andrà in Onda. I sottotitoli sono stati realizzati da Susanne Streif (limonare) in collaborazione con Giogclip” (dal canale youtube dove potete vedere il filmato con sottotitoli in italiano). Se siete solo curiosi, date un’occhiata alla prima parte inclusa nel post. Cliccate anche QUI per vedere tutte e 5 le parti.

Do Russians appreciate Vladimir Putin shows?

| View Show | Create Your Own

Many Italians appreciate Berlusconi’s miserable adventures. I am not among them. I believe being the President of a country and the chef of a catholic conservative party is not at all compatible with having sex with prostitutes, organizing “family days” to promote family values, defending the position of the Vatican in the Parliament, owning television channels and having a lot of influence on public channels and other media. Promoting prostitutes and television girls to the Italian and European Parliament should not be among the duties of a President. Although Berlusconi acts like just an old sad pimp (in Italy he was defined being only the “final user” – of the prostitute – by his lawyers …), people like me will have to wait for his natural departure before getting rid of him, as he gets elected “democratically”.

What about Putin? How do Russians think about Vladimir? He is famous (abroad) for shooting tigers (thus saving unfortunate cameramen), diving to the bottom of the Baikal Lake (he was luckier than the soldiers left to die in the North Sea) and showing his sculptured body in the nature. Do Russians appreciate his showing off?

The power of Brüno is …

… the ability to make fun of every credo, every tradition, everything that erects dull fences between people. When stupidity-masked-morality is imposed and followed to tell who is wrong and who is right, Bruno and Borat come to tear down everything with their brilliant and acid sarcasm. Viva Sacha Baron Cohen!

Silvio Berlusconi, le amiche e le zoccole (pardon, escorts).

Ma Silvio chi? Silvio, quello del family day? Quello dei valori morali ed etici? Quello della cultura cristiana superiore? Quella della ministra pari opportunita’ con calendari e balletti sexy a curriculum che lotta contro la prostituzione (“Come donna impegnata in politica e nelle istituzioni, la prostituzione mi fa rabbrividire. Mi fa orrore, non comprendo chi vende il proprio corpo”)? Silvio, quello della ministra dell’istruzione “del rigore morale” che si reca al sud per passare l’esame di stato? Silvio Berlusconi, l’uomo tutta casa chiesa e famiglia, il miglior alleato del Vaticano, il papi delle ragazzine pure e gnocche, l’unto del Signore, sarebbe lo stesso che chiede all’amica puttana (ops, escort) di farsi leccare dall’altra amichetta prostituta (pardon, escort)?

Ma non e’ possibile! Sarebbe l’apoteosi dell’ ipocrisia! Bill Clinton ha avuto non pochi problemi per un pompino sotto la scrivania. A David Vitter e’ stato chiesto di dare le dimissioni per la frequentazione di un prostitution ring. Jacqui Smith e’ sotto controllo per 75 euro di filmini porno visti dal marito in paytv. E Silvio Berlusconi che fa?

Ancora piu’ sconfortante: i suoi elettori che fanno? Tutti a difendere il Presidente del Consiglio “che e’ libero di fare sesso quanto e come vuole”. Certo che e’ libero, ma se (e dico se) si fa scopare !in cambio! di promessi aiuti su cantieri edili, se !mente! dicendo di non conoscere la puttana e poi le dice “Ciao tesoro” al telefono, se !promuove leggi contro la prostituzione! e poi va a letto con prostitute a palazzo Grazioli, se raccomanda ragazze in televisione (e perche’ le raccomanda?), se alcune delle sue ragazze vengono candidate nel Parlamente EUropeo (e come le sceglie?), allora stiamo ancora parlando della vita privata del Presidente o dei problemi provocati da un arrapato patetico? Puo’ un personaggio simile fare il Presidente del consiglio di una nazione, se (!) le registrazioni non mentono?

Penso che per un Italiano onesto sia umiliante e mortificante essere preso in giro in questo modo. Quando la mortificazione si cambiera’ in rabbia, allora qualcosa si muovera’.
