Assuntos de hoje - vamos debater!

OPINIOES PARA DEBATES.

1 - Antigamente quando não havia internet, tinhamos videos e fotografias, e uma grande comunicação no mundo sobre a visita de Extraterrestres. Hoje quando podemos gravar e mandar a imagem para o mundo inteiro num instante não recebemos imagens gravadas na mesma  hora por várias pessoas ao mesmo tempo com vídeos para que podemos entao ver se sao legitimos.

Pergunta para um debate: 

a - Você acredita em extraterrestres?

b-  Por que? 

2- Imigração tem sido um grande problema no mundo. Porem, o mundo nao esta preparado para imigracao. Os países fecham suas bordas e o ser humano não pode escolher onde viver. Se os Estados Unidos criasse fábricas em áreas desertas, destinadas aos imigrantes por um período de 15 anos em cidades novas, e desenhadas para estes imigrantes, a economia seria a maior do mundo. 

Pergunta para um debate:

a- Imagine uma cidade com infraestrutura para acomodar os imigrantes com trabalho, direito a sair da cidade e visitar outros países, mas com residencia temporaria por 15 anos.

b- Qual a sua opinião - e por que?

3- Aborto tem sido um assunto muito debatido nos ultimos tempos. Você tem uma opinião a este respeito? Uns proclamam que a vida se origina na concepção; outros acham que a vida começa na hora que se nasce. 

Pergunta para um debate:

a - Qual a sua opinião sobre aborto?

b- O homem tem o direito de saber? 

c- Como fazer em casos de estupros? 

d- Como fazer quando a criança vai nascer deformada?

e - Trata-se do corpo da mulher, portanto ela decide! Voce pensa assim. 

4- Guerras estao na agenda nesses ultimos dias. Why are countries, or divisions, or states at war all the time?  Imagine what could you do to fix this problem. 

4a-   Guerras estao em moda. Por que os paises ainda nao se reconciliam?  O que você faria para consertar este problema?  

Pergunta para um debate: 

a- Será isso religião?

b- Será isso oriundo de vinganças passadas? 

c- Sera isso o poder de controlar o mercado internacional - quando se relaciona com tráfegos marítimos ou direito de dirigir entre países.

A Globo, afinal, cospe no golpe em que comeu e engordou

31 de agosto de 2013 | 20:41

O Globo divulgou neste sábado à tarde um comunicado, em que reconhece que seu apoio ao Golpe de 64 foi um erro.

“Desde as manifestações de junho, um coro voltou às ruas: “A verdade é dura, a Globo apoiou a ditadura”. De fato, trata-se de uma verdade, e, também de fato, de uma verdade dura.
Já há muitos anos, em discussões internas, as Organizações Globo reconhecem que, à luz da História, esse apoio foi um erro.”

Não foi um erro, não.
Foi um crime, e deste crime as Organizações Globo beneficiaram-se lautamente, ao ponto de fazer com que a fortuna dos três herdeiros do capo Roberto Marinho constitua-se na maior do Brasil e uma das maiores do mundo.
Nenhum militar dos que tenham feito e servido à ditadura tem sequer um milésimo do que o regime deu aos Marinho.
Portanto, começemos assim, chamando as coisas pelo que elas são. Não erro, não “equívoco”.
Crime. Contra a democracia, contra o voto popular, contra a vida de milhares de cidadãos mortos pela ditadura que a Globo ajudou a fazer e a sustentar, e ganhando muito, muito, muitíssimo dinheiro com isso.
Esse dinheiro, certamente, a Globo não considera um “erro”, pois não?
Pois seu império nasceu ali, junto com a ditadura, com um negócio ilegal que o regime ditatorial tolerou e acobertou: a associação com o grupo Time e as fartas verbas que os EUA destinavam a evitar o “perigo comunista”, colocando a nascente e poderosa mídia, a televisão, nas mãos amigas de “gente confiável”.
A Globo usou esse poder. Em condições ilegais perante o Código Brasileiro de Telecomunicações que proibia a concentração de emissoras em todo o país nas mãos de um só grupo empresarial, comprou televisões em todo o Brasil, dissimulando-as na condição de “afiliadas”, quando são verdadeiras sucursais do grupo, presas inteiramente a seu comando e estratégia de negócios.
Para isso, lambeu as botas da ditadura e serviu-lhe de instrumento despudorado de propaganda.
O que seu editorial de hoje diz, ao procurar desvincular-se do horror da tortura e da morte, ao falar de como Roberto Marinho protegia “seus comunistas” é de uma indignidade sem par. Ou vamos entender que aquele que não era seu empregado poderia bem morrer sob seu silêncio, ou vamos entender que aqueles profissionais, que trabalhavam e contribuíam para o sucesso da empresa, merecem ser exibidos como “gatinhos de estimação”, gordos e protegidos, e “livres da carrocinha” que laçava outros pelas ruas deste país.
A Globo nunca teve vergonha de, nas palavras de seu Füher, “usar o poder” de que dispunha em benefìcio dos políticos e governantes de sua predileção, durante e depois do período militar.
Patrocinou a Proconsult contra Brizola. Manipulou o debate de 89 em favor de Collor e contra Lula. Apoiou desavergonhadamente a eleição de Fernando Henrique Cardoso, encobrindo-lhe a escapada conjugal desastrada, somando-se à manipulação eleitoral da nova moeda, promovendo a dilapidação das empresas pertencentes ao povo brasileiro,  apoiando e dando legitimidade à vergonhosa corrupção que envolveu a aprovação da proposta de reeleição em causa própria.
Quem quiser provas disso, leia O Príncipe da Privataria, que chegou este final de semana às livrarias.
A autocrítica, que nos homens de bem é uma virtude e um momento a ser louvado, na Globo é apenas o que ela é: interesse em dinheiro transformado em sabujice.
Percebeu que o projeto Lula-Dilma não pode ser derrotado, malgrado todas as suas tentativas, e lança estes “mea culpa” fajutos para se habilitar – ainda mais, ainda mais! – aos dinheiros públicos do Governo, vício incorrigível de seu ventre dilatado e enxundioso.
Tudo na Globo é falso, como tive a honra de escrever há quase 20 anos para Leonel Brizola em seu famoso “direito de resposta” à Globo.
Nem o coro que diz que “voltou às ruas” – ele nunca saiu! – não é esse: é “o povo não é bobo, abaixo a Rede Globo”.
Porque o povo, que não é bobo, pode perdoar aqueles que erraram e mudaram sinceramente de atitude ao perceber seu erro.
A Globo, não.
Comeu cada côdea do rico pão que o regime lhe deu e só mudou de lado quando as ruas, inundadas pelas “Diretas-Já” tornaram o regime uma sombra em ruínas.
Seus jovens executivos, que planejaram este ato de contrição fajuto, com todos as suas melosidades e senões, são apenas pequenos maquiadores deste monstro que acanalhou a vida brasileira e que vai ter um fim mais rápido e ruidoso do que muitos imaginam.
Porque o povo não é bobo, sabe que a Globo é um cancro que precisa ser extirpado da vida brasileira.
E é por isso que grita o que a Globo não pode confessar:
Abaixo a Rede Globo!

Apoio editorial ao golpe de 64 foi um erro

• A consciência não é de hoje, vem de discussões internas de anos, em que as Organizações Globo concluíram que, à luz da História, o apoio se constituiu um equívoco

RIO – Desde as manifestações de junho, um coro voltou às ruas: “A verdade é dura, a Globo apoiou a ditadura”. De fato, trata-se de uma verdade, e, também de fato, de uma verdade dura.
Já há muitos anos, em discussões internas, as Organizações Globo reconhecem que, à luz da História, esse apoio foi um erro.

Há alguns meses, quando o Memória estava sendo estruturado, decidiu-se que ele seria uma excelente oportunidade para tornar pública essa avaliação interna. E um texto com o reconhecimento desse erro foi escrito para ser publicado quando o site ficasse pronto.

Não lamentamos que essa publicação não tenha vindo antes da onda de manifestações, como teria sido possível. Porque as ruas nos deram ainda mais certeza de que a avaliação que se fazia internamente era correta e que o reconhecimento do erro, necessário.
Governos e instituições têm, de alguma forma, que responder ao clamor das ruas.
De nossa parte, é o que fazemos agora, reafirmando nosso incondicional e perene apego aos valores democráticos, ao reproduzir nesta página a íntegra do texto sobre o tema que está no Memória, a partir de hoje no ar:
1964
“Diante de qualquer reportagem ou editorial que lhes desagrade, é frequente que aqueles que se sintam contrariados lembrem que O GLOBO apoiou editorialmente o golpe militar de 1964.
A lembrança é sempre um incômodo para o jornal, mas não há como refutá-la. É História. O GLOBO, de fato, à época, concordou com a intervenção dos militares, ao lado de outros grandes jornais, como “O Estado de S.Paulo”, “Folha de S. Paulo”, “Jornal do Brasil” e o “Correio da Manhã”, para citar apenas alguns. Fez o mesmo parcela importante da população, um apoio expresso em manifestações e passeatas organizadas em Rio, São Paulo e outras capitais.
Naqueles instantes, justificavam a intervenção dos militares pelo temor de um outro golpe, a ser desfechado pelo presidente João Goulart, com amplo apoio de sindicatos — Jango era criticado por tentar instalar uma “república sindical” — e de alguns segmentos das Forças Armadas.
Na noite de 31 de março de 1964, por sinal, O GLOBO foi invadido por fuzileiros navais comandados pelo Almirante Cândido Aragão, do “dispositivo militar” de Jango, como se dizia na época. O jornal não pôde circular em 1º de abril. Sairia no dia seguinte, 2, quinta-feira, com o editorial impedido de ser impresso pelo almirante, “A decisão da Pátria”. Na primeira página, um novo editorial: “Ressurge a Democracia”.
A divisão ideológica do mundo na Guerra Fria, entre Leste e Oeste, comunistas e capitalistas, se reproduzia, em maior ou menor medida, em cada país. No Brasil, ela era aguçada e aprofundada pela radicalização de João Goulart, iniciada tão logo conseguiu, em janeiro de 1963, por meio de plebiscito, revogar o parlamentarismo, a saída negociada para que ele, vice, pudesse assumir na renúncia do presidente Jânio Quadros. Obteve, então, os poderes plenos do presidencialismo. Transferir parcela substancial do poder do Executivo ao Congresso havia sido condição exigida pelos militares para a posse de Jango, um dos herdeiros do trabalhismo varguista. Naquele tempo, votava-se no vice-presidente separadamente. Daí o resultado de uma combinação ideológica contraditória e fonte permanente de tensões: o presidente da UDN e o vice do PTB. A renúncia de Jânio acendeu o rastilho da crise institucional.
A situação política da época se radicalizou, principalmente quando Jango e os militares mais próximos a ele ameaçavam atropelar Congresso e Justiça para fazer reformas de “base” “na lei ou na marra”. Os quartéis ficaram intoxicados com a luta política, à esquerda e à direita. Veio, então, o movimento dos sargentos, liderado por marinheiros — Cabo Ancelmo à frente —, a hierarquia militar começou a ser quebrada e o oficialato reagiu.
Naquele contexto, o golpe, chamado de “Revolução”, termo adotado pelo GLOBO durante muito tempo, era visto pelo jornal como a única alternativa para manter no Brasil uma democracia. Os militares prometiam uma intervenção passageira, cirúrgica. Na justificativa das Forças Armadas para a sua intervenção, ultrapassado o perigo de um golpe à esquerda, o poder voltaria aos civis. Tanto que, como prometido, foram mantidas, num primeiro momento, as eleições presidenciais de 1966.
O desenrolar da “revolução” é conhecido. Não houve as eleições. Os militares ficaram no poder 21 anos, até saírem em 1985, com a posse de José Sarney, vice do presidente Tancredo Neves, eleito ainda pelo voto indireto, falecido antes de receber a faixa.
No ano em que o movimento dos militares completou duas décadas, em 1984, Roberto Marinho publicou editorial assinado na primeira página. Trata-se de um documento revelador. Nele, ressaltava a atitude de Geisel, em 13 de outubro de 1978, que extinguiu todos os atos institucionais, o principal deles o AI5, restabeleceu o habeas corpus e a independência da magistratura e revogou o Decreto-Lei 477, base das intervenções do regime no meio universitário.
Destacava também os avanços econômicos obtidos naqueles vinte anos, mas, ao justificar sua adesão aos militares em 1964, deixava clara a sua crença de que a intervenção fora imprescindível para a manutenção da democracia e, depois, para conter a irrupção da guerrilha urbana. E, ainda, revelava que a relação de apoio editorial ao regime, embora duradoura, não fora todo o tempo tranquila. Nas palavras dele: “Temos permanecido fiéis aos seus objetivos [da revolução], embora conflitando em várias oportunidades com aqueles que pretenderam assumir a autoria do processo revolucionário, esquecendo-se de que os acontecimentos se iniciaram, como reconheceu o marechal Costa e Silva, ‘por exigência inelutável do povo brasileiro’. Sem povo, não haveria revolução, mas apenas um ‘pronunciamento’ ou ‘golpe’, com o qual não estaríamos solidários.”
Não eram palavras vazias. Em todas as encruzilhadas institucionais por que passou o país no período em que esteve à frente do jornal, Roberto Marinho sempre esteve ao lado da legalidade. Cobrou de Getúlio uma constituinte que institucionalizasse a Revolução de 30, foi contra o Estado Novo, apoiou com vigor a Constituição de 1946 e defendeu a posse de Juscelino Kubistchek em 1955, quando esta fora questionada por setores civis e militares.
Durante a ditadura de 1964, sempre se posicionou com firmeza contra a perseguição a jornalistas de esquerda: como é notório, fez questão de abrigar muitos deles na redação do GLOBO. São muitos e conhecidos os depoimentos que dão conta de que ele fazia questão de acompanhar funcionários de O GLOBO chamados a depor: acompanhava-os pessoalmente para evitar que desaparecessem. Instado algumas vezes a dar a lista dos “comunistas” que trabalhavam no jornal, sempre se negou, de maneira desafiadora.
Ficou famosa a sua frase ao general Juracy Magalhães, ministro da Justiça do presidente Castello Branco: “Cuide de seus comunistas, que eu cuido dos meus”. Nos vinte anos durante os quais a ditadura perdurou, O GLOBO, nos períodos agudos de crise, mesmo sem retirar o apoio aos militares, sempre cobrou deles o restabelecimento, no menor prazo possível, da normalidade democrática.
Contextos históricos são necessários na análise do posicionamento de pessoas e instituições, mais ainda em rupturas institucionais. A História não é apenas uma descrição de fatos, que se sucedem uns aos outros. Ela é o mais poderoso instrumento de que o homem dispõe para seguir com segurança rumo ao futuro: aprende-se com os erros cometidos e se enriquece ao reconhecê-los.
Os homens e as instituições que viveram 1964 são, há muito, História, e devem ser entendidos nessa perspectiva. O GLOBO não tem dúvidas de que o apoio a 1964 pareceu aos que dirigiam o jornal e viveram aquele momento a atitude certa, visando ao bem do país.
À luz da História, contudo, não há por que não reconhecer, hoje, explicitamente, que o apoio foi um erro, assim como equivocadas foram outras decisões editoriais do período que decorreram desse desacerto original. A democracia é um valor absoluto. E, quando em risco, ela só pode ser salva por si mesma.”

Doping in Sports and a viable solution

Doping in Sports and a viable solution

The use of drugs to enhance performance (Doping) is considered unethical by most international sports organizations, and the reasons for the ban are mainly the health risks of performance-enhancing drugs, the equality of opportunity for athletes, and the exemplary effect of drug-free sport for the public. Anti-doping authorities state that using performance-enhancing drugs goes against the "spirit of sport."

It is wrong to strip anyone of their achievements simply for the fact that they were caught in a lie, our used stimulants before or during  past competition. If the competition already took place and was not reported any wrongdoings at that time, it is too late.

It is wrong to go back in time and strip Olympic participants who used performance enhancing drugs, unless we go back 2000 years ago and start scrutinizing all horses in competition to find out what they were fed, and if doping was present. Unless we go back and analyze the creation of the medication Benzedrine, and its relation to sports, we can learn that amphetamine (another name for Benzedrine) leads to a lack of judgment and a willingness to take risks, which in sport could lead to better performances. We also learn that this medication should not be used while trying to fly an airplane. To properly judge any wrongdoing or bad activity in sports, it must be done before the game.  If later, much later, some wrongdoing transpires, it must be dealt on a management level, by firing all those who were involved in covering it up with the big organ or facility that sponsored the event. It should not ever be dealt with the individual athlete alone, especially if such individual went through “medical tests”, and passed them. If Doctors were involved, they are accountable. Not the player.

Like any other drug, doping can be addictive, and lead to death. Any sportsman, when on top is under pressure from sponsors, fans, and specially the team management. Youngsters are influenced by hungry managers.

Once it is proved that a player who won the tour of France, for example, was using doping, everyone in charge should be accountable for allowing such disgrace to take place, but not Armstrong, all by himself. He holds little, if not zero accountability because he is another victim of the “doping athlete’s system”, in existence since the beginning of times.

Furthermore, doping should be allowed in sports.  Sports will be a more challenging competition  of  super humans, capable of running one 1000 miles, or endure days of starvation, or a six-hour tennis match in the hot sun.  Anabolic steroids have been used for decades by all types of people, and a few died because they took it on their own, without a proper guidance.

I vote for science! I want to see a doping that is designed for each sport. A doping that when taken, does exactly what it is supposed to do. I want to see a complete engineering of doping been explored, created and presented.

We are spending too much money screening athletes, when we know that the entire system of screening doesn’t work well. It makes mistakes. In the end, people’s consciousness speaks louder. The athlete will drink alcohol and tell the truth about doping, and the newsman calls it "what is trending today".  Others athletes are caught during screening and later exposed. One way or another most will confide into others what took place. No one likes to be a cheater forever.

The biggest problem with doping is that because they are illegal, most drugs are not available in any market, and are created by private organs with the purpose of dominating the doping business. Doping has many side-effects, more so because it changes the entire metabolism of the body affecting liver, kidneys, and ultimately the heart. It tells the body to endure certain tasks, mostly physical, but it doesn’t tell the user it is addictive, and when mixed with any other medication can affect the emotional side, sometimes creating a beast out of a man.

People are addicted to sports. Sport is the mass form of entertainment. People go to stadiums, gymnasiums, tracks, etc. to see a competition of endurance. Removing doping from sports will encourage the doping pharmacy to create the newest undetectable drug that will enhance performance, available to a few, while everyone else will be in disadvantage.

My point is: It is a waste of time to watch someone to “fall from grace” when grace was everything, but graceful. We should hide it and move on. It is not even fair to expose how such athlete was caught, when we know that he did not act alone. Shame on inspectors! Shame on the team (athlete) management! Shame on the Athlete!  More shame to the industry that creates such a drug and places it into a clandestine market. Yes, it is a shame because these industries may as well have people in various areas of the sport, as inspector of this or that department and maintain control of this entire business of making, showing and destroying an athlete, while making millions of dollars, if not billions each year to control the anti-doping screening process worldwide. Who knows?

It is very ironic for us to get entangled into a dispute between something as banal as doping. Like any illegal market, doping has a lord behind a bigger lord who controls the entire monopoly of that commodity. Because it deals with drugs, it should be legalized once and for all. Lords should deal among themselves the process of legalization of all drugs, making the user liable for his actions. Prohibition will not work because it divides society. Today society is divided in the war against drugs. The same people, who plow, plant and harvest the drug, are doing for a larger group, this larger group is so large that it is composed of complete infra-structure for mass distribution. If a member decides to boycott or create a small distribution, this member will be then exposed to the media, the drug will be recuperated and burned and everyone is appeased.  The fight to control the drug distribution should be minimum, but it escalates when greedy from the lords dissatisfy those who are involved. The business is so big that it creates an entire army of soldier ready to fight against another group who is interested in taking the distribution away from them. These fights are orchestrated by the lords, who furnish artillery to both sides, control the fight and win regardless of the outcome because both sides’ works for the same lord.  Sometimes, to make it good with the authorities, the lord calls the police and gives a tip about the traffic that is taking place. It is usually done to expose certain individuals who are becoming trouble makers within the organization. Most have no desire to expose their bosses, and end up incarcerated for a while, returning to the same life as before.

The drug business is so large that no Lord will allow any country, nation, or any organization to take control. This business belongs to the richest group in the world, and if it could be combined with the group that owns the banking industry, it is fair to say that they own the whole world.

Now we can get to the point of the story.

An Athlete who uses doping is a human being who needs enhancement in certain areas. Unfortunately, the doping is a mixed bag of cocktails and medications that no one can ever imagine what could result from such act. He won, but probably will die not old enough to solidify roots.

If all medication are exposed ---- all competitions will be about who can get the best results with what type of medication. Nothing wrong with that! We will see super-humans doing things unimaginable if they can keep focus. If not, don’t post it.

Until a time when we find out that our mind can control our body, we will be taking all sorts of medication to better one thing or another. By allowing doping, science can study the consequences of each drug and eventually create one that is less damaging. Eventually they will create a drug that will enhance the brain to do its job without any other drug-related interaction.

The Teacher of the Future

The teacher of the future

Let’s for a moment travel to the year 2131 and see what is going on at this time on earth.

For starters, school grounds vanished completely. No more human teachers and no more classrooms. Books will be something of the past. A child at the age of 12 would have never heard of books, and when in contact with one, she will be perplexed by the yellow pages with words that do not move or change, and pictures that remain untouched after weeks and weeks.

School will be at home. The teacher will be a mechanic machine with lights and a screen where any answers can be obtained, lectures can be learned and each and every student will be registered with DNA/eye and print contact. Once registered, each student will be processed with a mechanic teacher, who will be your friend, teacher and the only one responsible for your academics development. Every child will learn the same thing at first, and anyone can advance to different levels or age based on performance. The mechanic teacher is composed of all knowledge existent, and will share it with every student individually. Social time will be within a schedule decided by parents and with the approval of the Center Of Knowledge. It means that once registered a child will be a part of a program, which includes maximum security while learning and complete control of all actions monitored, saved and filed with the Center. Parents will have access to their children during family hours for socialization with family. Children will socialize with (kids) neighbors, through the net and eventually share family time, sleep-over, etc. 

Transportation will be electronically guided. No drivers, but passengers only. Everyone Register with the Census will have a schedule of activities, including working in or out of the house. When out, transportation will be offered to pick up a worker and deliver him to his station. Everyone registered will be picked up at the correct time by the liner. The liner will collect information, addresses and time of starting to work to precisely pick up workers and drop them at their station on the right time. For example: If you work 20 miles away and you need to be there at 9:00 Am, the Liner will pick you up at home, along with other passengers and start delivering them to their appropriated places. A telepathic message will be sent to you to make sure you know where to change liners in case of any disruption, and you can only pass through if you are truly yourself. Our brain will be at its 55% usage, and within 20 years it will achieve a 100% knowledge and usage. At 55% our brain will be connected electronically with various devices to help us to achieve our destination, procreation, evolution and leisure.

Money will be something of the past. Everyone once controlled by the center will contribute with its share of work and be provided accordingly. People will have a bank account with money to spend, but always in form of credit and no paper money. When a human in endowed with various aptitudes, there will be choices, but never time to waste, yet, a deposit will be made for the value of the job done.

Teleportation will be available, but only people with credit can use this privilege.  Credits are obtained in many ways, especially by the mechanic teacher, who would take you to the exact place of study and bring you back.

In summary, the teacher of the future will be a machine. No more school no more friends, no more proms, no more socializing in person, sharing cold, flu etc. Destination will be programmed before any trip and a choice to share a liner will be available, but with credit one can obtain a liner for himself. Cars with drivers are gone. Cars with GPS controlled devices will be the only existent and roads will be programmed to read cars, speed, and anything related to make the trip perfect. During accidents, people will be removed by choppers into their destination. There will be various stations for exchange of liners, but used only when something goes wrong with the circuitry. Every house will have camera built-in in every angle, as well as by satellite. We will be working for one major industry and the main goal is to preserve humanity at all cost. Ah, before I forget,  kids will have their schedule programmed by the computer and they will abide by it because otherwise they will be on time out for at least 10 minutes without action, but sit and wait for the machine to re-set. God will always be a part of our life, even for those who believe in a force. This force will be the only source of happiness and interior peace.

Suicide is not the answer, by Milton Laene Araujo

SUICIDE IS NOT THE ANSWER!

I am not going to start with statistics, or other information about why and how people commit suicide. People go through hardships in life, and if you think about it, life is not easy in any aspect.

You cost a pretty penny to be born – You are born wet and naked. As you saw the light of the day for the first time, your lungs inhaled air and you cried. Your first cry brought joy to everyone around you, especially to your caretakers. For five years of your life you have someone around. They are watching you, feeding and providing comfort to you as much as they have for themselves, if not more.

You think, therefore you are!

Sooner than expected you are a being with a mind of your own. As soon as you think, you feel the reality of your existence in this space and time. You think about sleeping time, playing time, studying time. You learn some likes and dislikes of your life, and you think about them too. You discover that you want to be loved.

Time flies. You question about your existence. You see yourself in comparison with others. Life has not been as good for you as it has been for others around you. Groups are formed. A complete sense of “not belonging” takes over your existence. You become rebellious at home. You disobey your parents, teachers, and eventually the law. You are controllable.

Sex comes into the picture!

Now you experience sex. You have faced two roads diverging. Both will take you into a path of uncertainty, and bring you back into the same path you had before.  I will clarify this by stating that, before you have sex for the first time, you were more controllable. Yes, you were a teenager, and your hormones were unbalanced, but you were not the first teenager that ever existed, and your parents know well that this age group is the hardest one to deal with. It comes with the package. The body is changing both physically and mentally. At this time you have a conscious and a personality to develop. If you chose to develop your conscious side, the road would not diverge. You would have listened to your parents, and do as told. But once you had sex, you automatically chose to develop your personality side, the side that wants you to fit in at all cost into the popular group of friends, you will travel into the path of uncertainty, created by you in cahoots with your group. Only among your pears you feel social adequacy. It is missing home adequacy.

Sex among teens can be influenced by peer pressure, drugs, alcohol, pot, parties, etc. The path of uncertainty starts with an infatuation. At this time, the entire consciousness has been shut off. Let me remind you that personality develops as consciousness shrinks. They are the opposite. You can not have both at full array. As a personality person, you start to take care of your body physically, and want to show it off, as if this is the most gorgeous thing you will ever have, and it will remain the same forever. See here that a touch with reality has vanished, and this is why this path is dark. Jealousy comes into play immediately after sex. Battles are fought between girls for one guy who plays with both at the same time. Usually no one blames the guy. Other battles are fought among peers who feel alienated or undesirable. Personality people want attention. They crave for admiration and sell themselves to satisfy a lust that only sex will remediate.

Parents lose control of their teens!

Once sex got into the picture, school became secondary, new friends are on the horizon, drugs are at play and personality people are together socializing while playing the blame game. Priorities have been changed, and parents have not a clue how to modify it. Parents forgot that their children copy what they see outside when they miss it inside their home.

Most people use their personality phase for about fifteen years of their existence, and then shift into consciousness for the remaining of their lives. It is very important to have a good personality because it attracts others into your realm of existence, as it is very important to be an individual. When you balance both, you live a full life with love for others and a sense respect for their individuality. It is not as important to be important, as it is important to be good to others. 

When teens are getting in trouble, parents need to intervene immediately. But remember. You are to be blamed! Start with apologizing for not being there when it started, and give the teen a chance to explain how it all begun. Embrace your child’s problem as yours and fight with your child to overcome. Not against your child. It doesn’t mean picking up a fight with others either. It means to find out what personality phase your child is experiencing. Has drugs been involved, has sex been a part of it? It is infatuation?

Stay closer to your teen and monitor every friend and conversation. This is your obligation. Check phone, text messages, school bag, etc. to find out what little person you are being responsible for. Until your child is 18 you have the obligation to educate, discipline, control and participate. This is a mission you have with life. Ask for help, find help.

One to Blame

Everyone has something or someone to blame for their problems in life. We start with our parents and the way they educated us. Either we come from a broken home, or a dysfunctional family, or divorced parents, or from an orphanage, we always will hang on something to justify our choices in life, and therefore blame it for. When we can not do it, others will do it for us. It is very convenient to find others to blame. It is time to stop this cycle. It is old and passé.

Now you are going to have a baby!

You are only a teen! What to do? The baby is your brother’s baby. The baby has no father. The father doesn’t want the baby. Oh Gosh! You have a problem in your hands. What to do? For starters, you have a home. You have parents and you have a family that you abandoned. You feel all alone. Remember that you abandoned them but they do not you. They hate your actions because of their love for you. If they truly dislike you, they would not care and you would not be worried about them. Now the damage has been made, and it is time to clean up the mess. Take responsibility and share with your guardians your problem. Be honest, and you will be set free of this worry. Reveal what is happening and for one time face life as it is, and not as you have created in your head. To have a baby while teen is not a big deal. It happens every day people have sexual intercourse without protection. The problem will be after birth. Are you going to create a person the way you were created? Are you going to rear with discipline? What are you going to do? Well, you are faced with the same challenges expressed in the beginning of this post. The solution is to talk with an adult. The gift of life is never a problem.

Now you are hooked on drugs!

Wow, it must be terrible, for you need money to buy it and you may not have. At least you will not overdose. But kidding aside, drugs are a drag. The high once acquired will never return, but the search for the same high will remain. Free base is not free, for it can cost you a house, family, friends and even yourself. Drugs are depressant, and sooner or later you will be depressed. Only another shot will put you back in track, or so you think, and this way you are killing yourself one day at a time, and leaving traces of disagreements and unhappiness among everyone you touch. Most addicts commit crimes. The end is in a cell or on rehabilitation facilities. Drug is not a solution, but it is there and you need to learn to live with it, and not be a part of it. Most addicts have a family. They come from some place; they were somebody else one time. Drugs changed them, and we need to accept the fact that this force was greater than his force to resist. We need to extend a hand and offer help. In other words, addiction is bad, but it can be cured only with love and care.

Love Triangle!

If involved in a love triangle, get out! I know you can not hear me, but this is the worse love situation a human being can get exposed to. It always has bad ramifications. Not long ago, only guys used to go after girls for sex, but nowadays, it is the opposite. Girls will do whatever they can to have sex with guys. There are girls who are popular in school because they use boy’s restrooms to give anyone who is interested a blow job. You can not imagine how creative teens are nowadays. They are aggressive towards sex, and when infatuated, no one can change it. They will have sex at all cost. In most love triangle, one guy usually plays with two girls mind until a fight occurs between the girls, who for stupid reason, hate one another and compete for the same guy. It has to do with sex. Usually, in a love triangle parties involved are not aware that they are not the only ones, but when they know about the third person, they enjoy the secrecy and practicing sex with more intensity. Secrecy can make sex very intense, therefore partners continue in a love triangle for as long as it is not known by the third party. Once it comes out, the girls are the ones to suffer. Do not ask me why, but in most love triangle where two girls fought for one guy, they never blamed the guy. Yet, he was the main reason why they were in that place to begin with. Love triangle usually happens when couples decide to try something else, and end up agreeing in having a threesome, but later, one party can not disconnect from the other. While it is a secret, love making takes its toll and both party feel in love. Off course, they are in love with their lives in that present moment, while sex is good and the conversation is light. But not in love enough to the point of being honest and come clean. An affair with bad consequences is about to happen. Everyone will be hurt. Love triangle can and has ended in tragedy. If you are involved in a love Triangle, just remember that you are up to deception. Chances are you a more personality person than consciousness person, and you let your personality take over your life, making it impossible to love with full array of human emotions. Your love is not real. It feels real, but it is an obsession. It is a drug and you are addicted to it. You become blind and the only remedy is to remove this person from your system. True love comes with responsibility. It comes with truthfulness of who you are in relation to the person you love. It means that you are honest and sincere about your feelings. You respect the other being as you want to be respected. This is love. The rest is obsession, confusion, lust, and lack of love. My advice is: Do not be cruel. Do not through it out there for everyone to talk about. Be discrete, end the relationship and relate where you are with your partner. Be honest and ask for help in find out if what you really feel is love or if it is something else. I know it is something else, but you need to have this doubt to start the process of seeing it more clearly. Once it is not a secret, you have a choice or a choice will be presented to you. If you slept with your brother’s wife, it also can be fixed. It took two to do it, and off course, alcohol and whatever was involved. Again, it is something that makes who you are, and you can not ignore the fact that others depend upon you, therefore you need to be clean, and face the consequences. We are all humans and we all make mistakes. No mistake is greater enough to prevent a bigger force to dissipate.

In this life you have a choice!

It is easy for me to say that a person who contemplates suicide has been placed in a predicament. However, it is not easy for me to distinguish whether this predicament is mental or physical. Physical is easier to fix, for it involves money, betrayal, shame, sickness in the family, lost of a loved one or a child, or lost of something as big as a career, status, fame etc. Mental, on the other hand is not easy to fix, for it involves lack of desire to live, medical depression and social inadequacy.

Our brain is responsible for our moods. When you are happy, you feel and act happy and when you are sad we feel and act sad. There are many factors that can make you sad, but usually there are more factors that make you happy. For example: you have a life and you can create great things for others while you are here. You can have a family of our own, you can enjoy a warm bath, you can drive, etc. You are free to do many things. If your brain only brings sad thoughts, you need to see a doctor, who will prescribe a small dosage of medication to your brain that would balance chemically your brain fluids and present you with a moderate mood. When depressed, you lose your physical desire to move. Depression alone can make you have suicidal thoughts, but you can conquer it by taking proper medication. First and foremost, tell a doctor or a suicidal hotline how you feel, and if it is a medical depression, you can be treated. Remember that not all brains can produce serotonin in normal quantity for one to function and face reality with eyes wide open. Take your medication and take one day at a time.

Our body responds to our mood, therefore one thing is connected to the other, except that a depression caused because you lost a child or your money is normal to a certain extent. Our brain will not produce a chemical that makes you happy when you are going through sorrows. It would make you crazy if it produced stamina when you need to be calm and in touch with reality. If you were exposed to faith when you were a child, you would overcome the death of a loved one with less trouble. You would understand that your life is precious and that you are protected by many laws that prevent others of causing you harm, to the point where you walk on streets knowing that no one will shoot you just because. You have a certainty of security, but you can not stop others of making their choices, as no one can stop you of making yours. Lives are important, and while you are contemplating suicide, remember that many people will be affected if you go through with it. For starters, they will question for generations why such and such person committed suicide? What could I have done to prevent it? Why we did not see it? Who is going to marry his children, knowing that they may have tendencies to do the same?  Whose fault was it? Was it his mother or his Estranged father? What took him to actually do it? Was it mental? …and the list goes on for many years to come. Then, families will suffer, separate, change sides and start a war among them with the blame game. I do not think it is worth it. To take one’s life for a physical reason is a very selfish way of departure. It is to let the others deal with the situation, as long as you leave some money. This is selfish because you are here to live a life and set examples to others to do the same. You are here to face your problems and resolve them. Cut your losses and live in poverty, but live with dignity. It is even more selfish when one contemplates murder and suicide. It means complete disconnection with others, lack of empathy and lack of divinity. It means that this human being has never felt empathy for anyone. This is not physical.

To summarize, suicide is not the answer because you are a million pieces. Your family gave you love from the first moment you were born. You have others who depend on you. You are loved by many people and your life is very important for the country, which would place in jail anyone who would harm you. You are important for everyone you have been in touch with, and if you were not here, many people’s life will take different turns because of you, who could guide, or direct or even be a friend when they needed you the most. Your departure will cause an effect greater than your imagination can reflect. It will affect everyone’s life, from the person who hears the news to the person who participates in your life. It will be a tragedy for all human beings to know that together no one could prevent it. Your life will have an end only for you. Others will suffer and be tempered for their entire life.

From the moment you thought about suicide, you realized that you are tired or upset or disgusted with life. It is a normal feeling, for no one is happy and dandy all life. This is the reason we have one day after the other. Every day is a new beginning. If life was a parallel with no days and no nights, and time would not pass, then it would be terrible, but life is not this way. Life is taking one day at a time. Life is hard and costly, but we can manage to exist. We make friends to help us in desperate times. You have helped many people in your life even not knowing them. Face the music! Dance. But please, do not end your life short.

I have heard many things about people that take their own lives.

1-     They are insane

2-     They went bankrupt

3-     They lost something

Others use a different approach and say:

1-     They worth more dead than alive

2-     They were not prepared for this or for that

3-     They could not surpass depression

It doesn’t matter what is bothering you, it will come to pass. We have one day after the other with new opportunities. Whatever the problem is, for one minute let me help you. I will listen to you and I will help you to find a solution. I just want to be your eyes and ears for one minute to comprehend what is taking you to this ultimatum sacrifice.

Cheating

Cheating is lack of love!

Love is the desire to grow spiritually with someone.  Lack is the absence of completeness. Cheating is the consequence of both:  Lack of Love!

To begin, I want to explain what spirituality is. We all have a soul, which is the only part of our being that doesn't die when we physically die. Our soul evolves, for it is a particle of our creator. Imagine for a moment that God with His magnitude wanted to experience Himself. He then placed a particle of Self into the air, at a distance where he could experiment what that particle would do in his realm. We as human are this particle, and we have freedom to do whatever we want in this life. We can be whatever we want, and God is experiencing Himself through us. There are moments when we are connected to our source, as there are moments when we are connected to an opposite force. God is goodness, forgiveness, love, and compassion. The opposite force is simply the lack of it. It is all God, for God is it all, however, our soul goes through good and bad, small and large, etc, etc, in order to evolve.

When we are in contact with our source, we evolve as souls. When we lack this connection, we simply exist. No one can evolve without a relationship, for in this relative world, a point A, "the force", and a point B, "us" can only experiment what is bad when we have an idea of what is good. When we relate with more people, or even the worst media, we are in contact with other people's experiences, and live both concepts of good and bad. Cheater is just a word used to describe a liar.

As humans we can only grow when we are able to share with another being our true self. When one lies to a loved one, the connection with the main source is interrupted. No goodness come out

CHEATING happens when couples lose their connection, therefore, they can not grow spiritually. They go after a lustful desire, and end up cheating. However, this is not the end of the world. EVERYONE has fantasies and if an opportunity appears, EVERYONE is capable of taking advantage of it. For this reason, if we create an idea or a concept, a different idea will emerge. For example: If we decide that we are not going to tolerate cheating. Just by confirming this idea, we will, then be cheated upon in real life and be put to test.

Love is complete when we are connected with our creator, and when we are honest at all times. Cheating is lack of love, for no one can grow spiritually when living in lies.

If a loved one has cheated on you, read bellow and think.

Maybe it is the first time it happened. Maybe it happens many times. Either way, think about your love. Is it unconditional, that you accept your life partner with his faults? Think about your faults. Are you capable of cheating? Have you ever done the same? Have you done such a thing to anyone else?
If you are not so perfect, why are you looking for perfection on others? Can you love an imperfect human being?  What do you want from this relationship? Can you just end it? Do you have a point to prove? If so, maybe this led to whatever happened.

What to do?

Do not leave immediately. Learn to have a heart to heart conversation, where all values are placed on the table. Do not instigate, do not ask for the truth, for it is already written in his/hers' face that it happened, but have the grace to understand that your lover is a human being capable of such thing as you are, given the right opportunity. We are all led into temptations, unless we ask to be led the other way. If your lover is capable of being truthful with you about desires, etc, then you have a good thing going, for growth comes from accepting and showing how we feel while doing so If your partner refuses to be himself completely with you, and pretend it never happened, you then need to go away.

A cheater is always a cheater. Yes, because a cheater is a liar and everyone lies, however, a cheater can stop cheating when he learns to love and grow. We only love who truly loves us, and to truthfully love anyone it is necessary to love them completely. When they feel loved, they start loving themselves and learn to love back.

Sex is not all there is in a relationship. People need to separate sex and relationship, for sex is a small particle in the entire realm of a relationship.

Do not ever confront the third party - It is not your business to care what others do - Concentrate on your partner and decide whether you can live with this. If you can, move on, but if you can not, move out.

To finalize - If you are a victim of a cheater, you are in fault, for your ability to gain people's trust is very low. Either you behave above people's expectations, which creates a barrier for them to see you as an equal or you behave far away from what attracts people to be honest with you. Lovers are friends and they are important in each other lives.  If your lover needs another person to confide his (secrets), he is not your lover! If your lover accuses you of cheating, he is in fault, or has it in mind. Always leave the line of communication open for this type of discussion. If your life partner is not your friend, he is not your lover, and he will not love you with full array of humane emotions. There will be not much growth.

In Summary - God is goodness and goodness is love, and anything else is lack of it. When we are connected with our force, we are honest, truthful and we have goodness in our hearts. When we are disconnected we act disoriented. Spiritual growth only happens when two people are connected here and with the force. To be connected here one needs to be one - When one lies he becomes more than one - hard to keep up -

Existe ceu e inferno?

O que Acontece depois que morremos? Existe ceu e inferno?

Uma das perguntas mais intrigantes de cada ser humano e a vida depois da morte. Para onde iremos? Existe ceu e inferno?

Usarei a definicao de religiao do wikipedia para poder entao usar esta palavra.
Religião (do latim religare, significando religação com o divino ^[1]) é um conjunto de sistemas culturais e de crenças, além de visões de mundo, que estabelece os símbolos que relacionam a humanidade com a espiritualidade e seu próprios valores morais.^[2] Muitas religiões têm narrativas, símbolos, tradições e histórias sagradas que se destinam a dar sentido à vida ou explicar a sua origem e do universo. As religiões tendem a derivar a moralidade, a ética, as leis religiosas ou um estilo de vida preferido de suas ideias sobre o cosmos e a natureza humana.
Nao e somente por descuido da natureza que hoje vemos varios “destinos” para a nossa alma. Existe mais de  quatro mil religioes ou denominacoes no mundo, e cada uma tem uma resposta. Uma grande quantiade de pessoas acreditam em reincarnacao. A crença de renascer noutro corpo; a crença de que vivemos antes e viveremos novamente noutro corpo após a morte. Era uma crente vulgar nas religiões orientais como o hinduismo e o budismo, mas agora é uma pedra base de teorias como a dianética e o canalizar.
Para as pessoas que acreditam em reincarnacao, apos sua morte, elas serao reincarnadas. Portanto – a resposta para os que acreditam, sera uma confirmacao daquilo que sempre souberam de corpo e alma. Num livro de Carol Bowman, “Return from Heaven” a autora descreve sobre amigos, parentes, reincarnados em sua mesma area. Hoje temos como exemplo de reincarnacao, Dalai Lama que e o decimo quarto de um grupo Tibetan.
Para as pessoas que acreditam que tudo acaba, tudo certamente vai acabar, e aquela alma cessa de existir, pois nao havera busca nem procura – Talvez um resgate.
Em poucas palavras: Cada ser vai experimentar aquilo que colocou sua fe. Cada ser nasce numa area e esta propicio a acreditar naquilo que lhe passam. Trata-se de uma vida digna de ser vivida dentro de um padrao social limitado aquilo que lhe e passado, lido, observado e vivido.
O mais dificil comeca quando somos apresentados a varios ensinamentos religiosos, varias formas de acreditar num fim, e nos perdemos completamente de uma so verdade ou crenca, e passamos a conviver com todas ao mesmo tempo. Um exemplo disso seria um catolico que vai visitar uma cartomante. Ai ja entra conflito de interesses, e o conhecimento abre portas para mais perguntas, mais crencas e assim o ser segue numa vida de busca, com varias respostas e menos certeza.
No momento em que morremos, nosso cerebro comeca a se desconectar eletricamente do nosso organismo devido a falta de exigenio, e esta conexao pode levar varios minutos para concretizar. Embora os aparelhos confirmem a morte, uma parte do cerebro pode trazer ao individuo uma recapitulacao clara daquilo que ele vivenciou, ou escutou, e geralmente isso acontece somente em casos de pessoas que foram detectadas mortas e voltaram, por assim dizer, depois de alguns minutos, e contaram as mesmas historias.
Quando um ser vai e volta, este ser vem modificado pela historia de sua vida, e o tal ultimo grasp de oxigenio que o cerebro recebe e bem maior do que os anteriores, porque antes estava dividindo com outros orgaos, e assim num flash, a pessoa acorda, e os equipamentos voltam a funcionar, e o ser fica entao paralizado temporariamente, mas vivo com as memorias que presenciou…e o medico fica pasmo, a familia acredita, e logo vem um livro contando o que viu, e assim se formam grupos de crentes nesta obervacao de que no alem e assim ou assado.
Depois que morrermos, nossa alma vai ao encontro da luz que nos cria e nos mantem. Seja em forma de alma, de espirito, de energia,ou ate com a mesma forma fisica,  Antes de chegar la ela passara por todos os obstaculos que criamos e nao reparemos. Obstaculos estes que afetaram a nos e tambem ‘aqueles que involvemos.
A nossa vida aqui na terra e uma passagem maxima de 100 anos aonde poderemos criar momentos (ou energias), sejam de bondade, sejam de crueldade. Estas energias terao repercusoes nas vidas que tocamos, e consequentemente em nossas. Veja por exemplo que gastamos mais energia ficando de mal com alguem do que ficando de bem.
Entedemos a diferenca entre Guerra e paz, pois estamos em Guerra desde que o mundo era mundo, porem, cada ser colabora nesta energia de Guerra. Cada ser mantem um sentimento, ou julgamento, baseado naquilo que acredita, ou tem fe. Ha guerras por todos os lados. Dentro de casa, nas ruas da cidade, e.na vida de cada um.
Quando dirigimos um veiculo e nos aproveitamos agressivamente no transito, estamos radiando uma energia de descontentamento, ou de Guerra. Quando roubamos, ou quando nos aproveitamos de qualquer outro ser, estamos criando obstaculos. Estes, refletirao em nossa vida, e na vida dos afetados. Se conseguirmos nos arrrepender completamente daquilo, poderemos ter uma melhor chance de nao sermos atormentados, pois o tormento existe enquanto vivemos. Se procurarmos ver o outro ser humano como uma replica nossa, poderiamos ate ser mais generosos.
Quando eu me pergunto sobre a riqueza do mundo, vejo que esta passando da mao de um para a mao do outro, e sempre aparecendo jovens ficando milionarios. Se eu acreditasse em reincarnacao, poderia deduzir que estes jovens tiveram uma vida passada com muita bondade e filantropia, num mundo aonde somente existiu Guerra, e mereceram ter dinheiro para poder entao fazer algo melhor para aqueles que nao tem. Muitos milionarios ajudam varias causas no mundo. Digo, a maioria deles. Pois doar significa deduzir nos impostos, entao isso se torna quase que uma imposicao. Assim sendo cada milionario tem a sua propria agencia filantropica, nao profitavel, aonde eles podem entao doar diretamente para uma causa que interessa o milionario. Sei que a vida de milionarios nao e um mar de rosas como se pensam. Os artistas sao perseguidos, as princesas sao presas nos palacios, os que saem na rua, saem disfarcados. Por isso nao posso confirmar minha teoria de que os que hoje sao milionarios fizeram somente bondade na vida passada.
A teoria basica da vida e a seguinte:

·        Devemos obedecer as leis criadas pelo homem,

·        Devemos praticar nossa fe seja ela qual for, sendo sempre tolerante as outras praticas, sejam elas quais forem,

·        Devemos ser toleraveis.

·        Devemos ensinar sobre varias religioes aos nossos filhos menores.

Ninguem esta acima da lei. Todo mundo obedece as leis. Elas foram criadas para resolver disputas que acontece entre os seres humanos. Ha lei pra tudo, e a cada dia se criam mais de mil leis que repara esta e aquela, e que tem precedente sobre esta ou aquela.
Todos devem praticar fe em alguma coisa que se relacione com o ser humano, e a sua capacidade de entender perdas sem retaliacoes. Como entender sonhos? Como entender a morte? como entender a razao da vida? Senao por ensinamentos religiosos. Aqueles que nao tem fe em nada vivem como luzes apagadas. Eles nao iluminam.
Se praticamos tolerancia, seremos toleravies. Somente aprenderemos a ser tolerantes quando aprendemos sobre o assunto.
Todo casal que tem bom senso sabe que existe muitas perguntas que somente fe em Deus e a certitude de que tudo ficara bem pode aclamar uma crianca. Elas merecem estarem envolvidas e praticarem a religiao dos pais, pois todas tem um caminho somente – Deus.
Cada qual escolhe o seu caminho, ou a sua forma de praticar e experimentar esta vida. Aquilo que voce acreditar acontecera com voce, e voce vivenciara isso. Entao pergunte a voce mesmo o que acontecera com voce depois que voce falecer.
Ceu e um lugar de completa felicidade e positividade, aonde todas as experiencias negativas se transformaram em positivas, dando a luz uma imensidao. O ceu nao e relativo a nada. Para o ceu voltamos para reestabelecer nossas energias, e entao continuar a jornada, ou ficar la.
O inferno e um lugar de tormento, falta de luz, falta de bondade que experimentamos enquanto vivos, devido a coisas que fizemos ou que fizeram pra nos. Este prossegue alem da vida quando somos mais negativos do que positivos, e isso nao cabe a nos julgar.  
Para finalizar, quero acrescentar que Deus criou Adao e Eva e os colocou no paraizo. La, depois de estarem por algum tempo, eles desobedeceram a Deus. Deus deu a eles o castigo da morte. Assim, logo em seguida comecou o bem e o mal a se proliferar. Antigamente se pensava que o mal seria o primojenito, e o bem o seguinte, tudo isso baseado no assassinato de um dos filhos de adao, Abel por Cain, seu irmao mais velho. E assim o mundo se desenvolveu com o bem e o mal dentro de cada um de nos. Somos os dois, e somente se soubermos viver com outros, poderemos ser mais posotivos do que negativos, e isso cabe no dia a dia de cada um de nos.
Nos veremos mais aqui e depois no Ceu.

Donate blood now!

Let’s donate blood?

I am not an expert in this subject, and my point will be very simple. Everyone should donate blood 6 times per year. Every town should have a “state of the art” post for collection in mass.

“Every three seconds someone, somewhere, needs a blood transfusion. Blood is always in demand and that’s why we’ve made it easy to donate. Florida’s Blood Centers has facilities throughout the 21 counties we serve and the Big Red Bus is always nearby at local blood drives. We also want our donors and the community to understand the importance of donating; how the blood donation process works; and how blood is used. You can find it all here.”

When my mother had my brother Mauricio, she went into a troubled cesarean, and hemorrhage occurred. My father donated blood directly to her. It was in 1972, and blood transfusion, in a small hospital in the suburbs of Brazil was nothing other than a transfusion. She later recovered, and my father continued donating blood to the same hospital for a while longer. 

I want to donate blood, for I carry the same O positive type as my father. This is not the universal donor, but it is more common. 1/3 of the population carries this type of blood. I have never donated blood because I am gay, and I always considered myself a high risk.

Recently I read that gay people are being banned of donating blood. “Blood donations are down in the U.S. this summer. Gay men have been banned from donating blood because it has been connected to the spread of AIDS. But policymakers are re-examining that ban. The debate has raged among officials, and created a national conversation, as reflected in  CNN.com comments.

I think this is absurd. Gay people also need blood, and I would care less whether I am receiving it from another gay. As long as the blood center is able to refuse or accept based in “lab tests” and not based on opinions.

The average adult has about five liters of blood inside of their body, coursing through their vessels, delivering essential elements, and removing harmful wastes. Without blood, the human body would stop working. Blood transports oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissue and carbon dioxide from the body tissue to the lungs. Blood is the fluid of growth, transporting nourishment from digestion and hormones from glands throughout the body. Blood is the fluid of health, transporting disease fighting substances to the tissue and waste to the kidneys.

Another point is the fact that women menstruate and lose blood every month, and that blood is replenished, giving the women renewed amount of iron, and other chemicals. It helps with their health, and the proof is that women live longer.

If we share the idea that everyone should donate blood every 60 days, things will be better. Today people are afraid of the needle, and imagine that donating blood is an act of generosity, while it is an act of self maintaining. Others are simply too ignorant and too wrapped up on themselves to understand how good life will be for both parties involved, and for the nation.

I would like to see a study showing the benefit to the blood donor. I know it has benefit.

I want lawmakers to expose this benefit and encourage the entire population to donate blood.

Gay people can donate blood and have it stored in different places for different purpose.

It is stupidity to great a law banning certain groups of donating fluid of life. This is the ultimatum of all absurdity.

The perfect being

Science is knowledge! And as such, it must be taken very seriously.

After I read an article about down syndrome on Wikipedia I discovered that "Individuals with Down syndrome differ considerably in their language and communication skills. It is routine to screen for middle ear problems and hearing loss; low gain hearing aids or other amplification devices can be useful for language learning". ^86] For partial glossectomy (tongue reduction), one researcher found that 1 out of 3 patients "achieved oral competence," with 2 out of 3 showing speech improvement.

Why don't we have all children with down syndrome exposed to partial tongue reduction? If it will better their quality of life. If it may even help with thyroids problem, which of, in consequence brings obesity and all  sort of other problems.

On another related article, it stated that 91–93% of pregnancies in the United Kingdom and Europe with a diagnosis of Down syndrome were terminated.^[73] Data from the National Down Syndrome Cytogenetic Register .
In the United States a number of studies have examined the abortion rate of fetuses with Down syndrome. Three studies estimated the termination rates at 95%, 98%, and 87% respectively.^[73]

Medical ethicist Ronald Green argues that parents have an obligation to avoid 'genetic harm' to their offspring,^[76] and Claire Rayner, then a patron of the Down's Syndrome Association, defended testing and abortion saying "The hard facts are that it is costly in terms of human effort, compassion, energy, and finite resources such as money, to care for individuals with handicaps... People who are not yet parents should ask themselves if they have the right to inflict such burdens on others, however willing they are themselves to take their share of the burden in the beginning."^[77]

 Peter Singer argued that "neither haemophilia nor Down's syndrome is so crippling as to make life not worth living from the inner perspective of the person with the condition. To abort a fetus with one of these disabilities, intending to have another child who will not be disabled, is to treat fetuses as interchangeable or replaceable. If the mother has previously decided to have a certain number of children, say two, then what she is doing, in effect, is rejecting one potential child in favour of another. She could, in defence of her actions, say: the loss of life of the aborted fetus is outweighed by the gain of a better life for the normal child who will be conceived only if the disabled one dies".

This is far too much to digest in a simple page. It seems that science, capable of detecting a fetus with "abnormalities", jumps the gun in selling the tool of "detection" and prevention, forgetting that it needs to fix the abnormality.
For now, science needs to create a device that reverses the entire process of development of the chromosome that carries the abnormality.

Down syndrome disorders are based on having too many copies of the genes located on chromosome 21. In general, this leads to an over expression of the genes. Understanding the genes involved may help to target medical treatment to individuals with Down syndrome. It is estimated that chromosome 21 contains 200 to 250 genes. Recent research has identified a region of the chromosome that contains the main genes responsible for the pathogenesis of Down syndrome, located proximal to 21q22.3. The search for major genes involved in Down syndrome characteristics is normally in the region 21q21–21q22.3

If abortion is ever to be considered legal, from a law point of view, it would bring a pandemonium into people's lives, that can not ever be fixed. To begin, science and abortion will work side by side, eliminating from the face of the earth every fetus that has this or that abnormality. Scientists would become greedy and forget their principal objective, which is prevention of abnormalities by scientific means of resetting the DNA configuration of that particular abnormality.

Science needs to change its gears from corrective maintenance to preventive maintenance. Science now is stagnated in finding how to correct this or that disease, caused by this or that abnormalities. Scientists are more concerned in creating pills. For now science is working side by side with free market or capitalism. 

Science should only be used for the benefit of humans, and not for enrichment of enterprises. 

It is fair to say that scientists are able to manipulate an allele, which  is one of two or more forms of a gene or a genetic locus (generally a group of genes).^[1][2] The form "allel" is also used, an abbreviation of allelomorph. Sometimes, different alleles can result in different observable phenotypic traits, such as different pigmentation. However, many variations at the genetic level result in little or no observable variation.

A number of genetic disorders are caused when an individual inherits two recessive alleles for a single-gene trait. Recessive genetic disorders include Albinism, Cystic Fibrosis, Galactosemia, Phenylketonuria (PKU), and Tay-Sachs Disease. Other disorders are also due to recessive alleles, but because the gene locus is located on the X chromosome, so that males have only one copy (that is, they are hemizygous), they are more frequent in males than in females. Examples include red-green color blindness and Fragile X syndrome.
Other disorders, such as Huntington disease, occur when an individual inherits only one dominant allele.

Science needs to put more effort into modifying the composition of a defected allel. Science needs to get its priority straight.

By now we all - I mean, every individual should have a DNA identification, which would refer to a central global communication for all means related with law enforcement, forensics, and medical. Along with our identification, a daily reading of our blood content would indicate which nutrients are necessary for that day. Science should be more advanced than what it is now. We need good scientists. We need to praise the good ones, who are studying  prevention of abnormalities by manipulating genes, and not those more interested in creating a new pill to make this or that go away.

I am not against progress. I just do not appreciate when progress come in such a high cost for everyone.

By now we should have humans beings immune of any diseases, that can live at least 300 years with only one appearance, perfect weight, and controlled mood, etc. A perfect human being who was perfected to live in this environment by his fellow human, who used science to manipulate genes, creating pure-breads from within hybrids.

Can we get there, finally?
