Veterans from the War in Iraq and the ... (the forum rules do not allow me to say what I think, but it begins with an F) piece of garbage that started this insane war:

Ah, Chantal, se pare ca tu (si eu si o gramada de alti oameni) nu intelegi o treaba... Ce poate fi mai inaltator decat sa-ti sacrifici o mana, un picior, doua, trei, o ureche sau vederea in slujba patriei muma careia ii datorezi totul? Pe de alta parte, daca ar fi fost oameni "normali" n-ar fi pupat in veci sansa de a strange mana iubitului presedinte, de a fi batuti parinteste pe crestetul capului sau de a fi acoperiti cu multa grija si consideratiune cu haina acestuia. Long live the american spirit!
May the Force be with them! sad

It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here...

Ok, activists.
Question for you: if you had the possibility to order a software project that would help the environment in one way or another, what would it do? thinking

If you can believe this, in Saudi Arabia, a woman, a RAPE VICTIM, is sentenced to 200 lashes and 6 months in jail!

Words are not enough to express outrage at a country and fundamentalist Islam law that abuses women in all possible ways!
But hey, they the US allies in fighting against "terror" so they can get away with just about anything. Abhorring.

The War on Terror has proved to be eroding the very values and principles that supposedly it fights to defend: justice, human rights, democracy, freedom. The examples are far too many, from the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse
and see disturbing images for yourself:
http://content2.totallycrap.com/media/abughraib2/

to the infamous Guantanamo Bay detention facility:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp

Search the media if you want to find out more, as well as the docudrama "Road to Guantanamo".
This has to stop! If you want to make a stand, visit:

White Tigers - a curiosity to some and a subject of entertainment money for others, actually they are the product of severe inbreeding, causing them to perpetuate a recessive gene that is abnormal and does not help towards the conservation of the species. A "freak" that could not survive in the wild, the white tiger is an abuse carried on by breeders and zoos that want to make money out of them, as simple-minded people come to gawp at the curiosity.

Voice your opposition to cruel practices such as inbreeding and keeping wild animals as pets!

Something beautifully written, yet such a sad story...
http://poemix.blogspot.com/2007/11/elogiu-jaguarului-necunoscut.html

I cried.

Please stop keeping animals in cages! They belong in the wild, where they are free. You can boycott Zoos by not paying to go to see caged, suffering animals displayed cruelly for money and not feed this industry.

Chantal, revolta-te. Iata ce scrie la Hamlet pe versiunea romana a wikipedia (and no, it's not the parody version)

"Acele fapte si obiceiuri barbare, intre care se invirte, el insusi pe jumatate barbar, intelectualistul justitiar Hamlet, imi repugna fara a ma tulbura."

"Hamlet e un geniu rau pentru el insusi si pentru ceilalti: spre a razbuna un mort, mai adauga linga el alti opt, iar din acestia opt, cel putin sase erau nevinovati."

"Cazul lui Hamlet e simplu si cunoscut. Il iubea pe taica-sau si i l-au omorit."

"De aceea isi coloreaza razbunarea cu pretexte de dreptate si n-ar vrea sa actioneze ca o bruta furibunda, ci ca o fiinta pura, in limpezimea si inaltimea propriului drept."

"In schimb razbunarea ar trebui sa-i apara in minte, daca ar fi intr-adevar in stare sa gindeasca altfel decit cei care-l inconjoara, ca o poveste groaznic de complicata si, la urma urmei, inutila pina la prostie."

"Nu se intelege prea bine nici comportamentul sau in fata Ofeliei, care de nebunia lui inchipuita este impinsa la nebunia adevarata si la moartea jalnica in balta nesimtitoare."

"Uciderea Ofeliei e cea mai inutila si monstruoasa dintre cruzimile lui Hamlet si nu stiu cum ar putea oricine pe lume sa-i ierte asa ceva."

"Nu se pot salva, din drama, nici faimoasele meditatii ale lui Hamlet – nici macar acel to be or not to be care se reduce la un superficial loc comun: viata e urita; pentru a fi siguri ca in lumea de dincolo nu e mai groaznic, ar fi de preferat sa ne sinucidem. Si ce sa mai spunem de banalele sale reflectii prin cimitir – materia din care sint facute trupurile omenesti poate ajunge in locuri pingarite si in pozitii umilitoare – sau injuriile sale superficiale si vulgare impotriva falsitatii femeilor?"

Dar, daca te cheama Chantal, te revolti mai cu spor, fiindca ti-ai scris lucrarea de diploma de la terminarea facultatii pe Shakespeare, care e pentru tine un zeu.

Despre cele citite, ma ingretoseaza pana la sila. Sic!
Nu am nimic ma potrivit de adaugat decat ce am citit intr-o traducere romaneasca la Hamlet (aparuta la Polirom, deci cu pretentii), unde celebrul aforism de la final "And the rest is silence." era tradus cu "Si odihna e tacere."
Cu alte cuvinte, hai la muls vaca!
