Gun Control and a viable solution
Gun Control and a viable solution
We know that handguns will not be banned because it is written in the Constitution of the United States of America
Handguns are simply “necessary evils”. One needs it to protect life.
The mishandling of handguns is another story, or per say, many stories. Lawmakers can just do so much. We have laws already created about who can and cannot purchase handguns. As a matter of fact, we have laws of all sorts directing people from properly handling guns, to prosecution for those who mishandle it.
This subject will not be resolved, and a viable solution is to put it in a shelf. Let’s not waste time and money discussing a subject matter that has been in courts for as long as it was written. No agreement will ever be reached when dealing with matters of life and death, and a handgun provokes to the owner this type of power.
Each individual has to see this matter as a personal matter, and act accordingly.
I am the type of person who is afraid of handguns because I have never been exposed to one personally, and to this date, fired a handgun of any sort. I have no interest what-so-ever in anything related to guns. Maybe because I am pro life in all senses, I do not see the need to have a gun to protect my property. I live less than five minutes away from the police station, who is equipped with everything necessary to protect me. I just need to dial 911 and let things take place from there. Even if I hang up the phone, they trace that call, and immediately send someone over to check. I have given my rights of carrying a gun to the police a long time ago. But it is not, necessarily the case of others. Some people carry the “gene of a gun”, and no one can take it away from them. They see it as a hobby or they can not sleep if they do not feel protected by a handgun in their room.
Yes, we need to improve the “check up” and reinforce laws already in existence about who is allowed to purchase it. But let’s not forget that they come from all over the world. They are not even registered. Gun business is a big business that will survive with or without laws because many people are interested in it. It is impossible to control everything that arrives in the country, when customs has conflicting interests. It is impossible to make everyone happy discussing a subject as broad as gun control.
The means of communication should not exaggerate. The attention should be normal, if not, minimal, considering that no solution is coming soon enough. Tragedies will occur in any sense in life. People lose control; people snap; people get infuriated with others; people want attention, and people want money.
Certain subject matters should not be so exaggerated by the media. The media is always reporting about something with no solution that has as many people in favor as it has against it. The media should rest its case. It means that it can not be resolved at this place and time, and as communicators the media should simply treat this case as another case we can not agree upon right now.
One day in the future we will be well equipped, maybe living in a cashless society, where transactions will be done differently, and a proper way of identification will emerge, and no one will carry a gun for protection of being robbed. Maybe we create handguns that do not kill for the first 12 hours and allow citizens to purchase for individual protection, with the responsibility of reporting usage of the gun as soon as it went off.
We need more ideas of how to live in this society with all types of people. We need more ideas of how to protect ourselves, our neighborhood, and ultimately, we should have a handgun that would not kill, but paralyze for a period of time without death. This viable solution maybe, could satisfy the Greeks and the Trojans.
The information below was taken partially from http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp
Handgun A weapon designed to fire a small projectile from one or more barrels when held in one hand with a short stock designed to be gripped by one hand.
Revolver A handgun that contains its ammunition in a revolving cylinder that typically holds five to nine cartridges, each within a separate chamber. Before a revolver fires, the cylinder rotates, and the next chamber is aligned with the barrel.
Pistol Any handgun that does not contain its ammunition in a revolving cylinder. Pistols can be manually operated or semiautomatic. A semiautomatic pistol generally contains cartridges in a magazine located in the grip of the gun. When the semiautomatic pistol is fired, the spent cartridge that contained the bullet and propellant is ejected, the firing mechanism is cocked, and a new cartridge is chambered.
Derringer A small single- or multiple-shot handgun other than a revolver or semiautomatic pistol.
Rifle A weapon intended to be fired from the shoulder that uses the energy of the explosive in a fixed metallic cartridge to fire only a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger.
Shotgun A weapon intended to be fired from the shoulder that uses the energy of the explosive in a fixed shotgun shell to fire through a smooth bore either a number of ball shot or a single projectile for each single pull of the trigger.
Aggravated assault
(1) Intentionally and without legal justification causing serious bodily injury, with or without a deadly weapon or (2) using a deadly or dangerous weapon to threaten, attempt, or cause bodily injury, regardless of the degree of injury, if any. It includes attempted murder, aggravated battery, felonious assault, and assault with a deadly weapon.
Robbery Completed or attempted theft, directly from a person, of property or cash by force or threat of force, with or without a weapon, and with or without injury.
Simple assault Attack without a weapon resulting either in no injury, minor injury (for example, bruises, black eyes, cuts, scratches or swelling) or in undetermined injury requiring less than 2 days of hospitalization. Also includes attempted assault without a weapon.

Mortes num lugar comum
Mortes num lugar comum
As vezes me pergunto se o diabo esta presente na vida de todas as pessoas ou se ele escolhe certas pessoas para fazer seu trabalho sujo. De uma forma ou de outra, existe pessoas que praticam atos que somente o diabo poderia explicar os motivos. Pra comecar gostaria de salientar que este texto podera lhe causar mal estar, mas trata-se de verdades, e as vezes e bom estarmos alertas para os acontecimentos da vida.
Relatarei aqui alguns fatos obtidos atravez de livros que li, de reportagens que participei, de programas de Televisao que assisti no assunto, e tambem de pesquizas nos artigos publicos, avaliaveis tambem na internet. Os nomes sao verdadeiros, como
Dotor de Auschwitz, conhecido como Para faciliar o processo de matar com mais rapidez, Mengele ensinou varios medicos a aplicarem injecoes letais. Ha reportagens de que ele ate jogava criancas no crematorio enquanto vivas.
Mengele era fissurado pela sua pesquiza sobre gemeos. Ele efetuava todos os tipos de testes para compara-los, e alguns ele ate matava pelo simples fato de aperfeicoar sua patologia. Ele dissecava os corpos ele mesmo, e ate preservava algumas partes. Mengele ate efetuava operacoes sem anestezias. Ele removia os orgaos sexuais, e ate fez operacoes de troca de sexo. Ele injetava varias substancias em criancas somente para ver como
Em resumo, Mengele queria fazer sucesso na area de cultivacao genetica de uma raca superior, branca, e a posicao que ele exerceu no campo de concentracao alimentou seu desejo de ser um deus. Ele guardou notas de suas pesquizas, mas muitos documentos form perdidos. Depois da Guerra, Menguele escapou da prisao e foi pra Argentina
Enquanto sabemos que a marioria dos medicos e enfermeiros entram na profissao para salvar vidas, entendemos que o fato de causar dor ou destruir um ser nem passa pela cabeca destes profissionais. Mas, infortunadamente ha medicos que machucam, e eles sao dificeis de se detectar, e mais precisamente, de para-los. Alguns sao cautelosos, e buscam as vitimas ja vulneraveis para praticar seus planos. Outros sao protegidos pelo proprio estabelecimento aonde trabalham.
Quero mostar alguns casos veridicos aonde psicopatas nao sao capturados porque ninguem escuta as reclamacoes.
Dr. Michael Swango, enquanto fazia residencia no Ohio State University Medical Center, aproveitou um momento em que as enfermeiras estava ocupadas e se prontificou a dar assistencia a uma senhora de idade, Ruth Barrick, que havia caido e batido a cabeca, mas depois da operacao ela ja estava passndo bem. Um estudante em treinamento nao pode ficar sozinho com nenhum paciente, mas isso nao parou Swango de deligar os aparelhos. Quando as enfermeiras chegaram ao quarto, viram miss Barrick incosciente, e efetuaram respiracao boca a boca, enquanto uma enfermeira escutou Dr Swango dizer que isso era nogento. Ruth morreu ali mesmo, e a enfermeira achava que Dr. Swango tinha alguma coisa com isso. Tudo ficou por isso mesmo. Durante seu tempo neste hospital cinco pacientes faleceram, e muitos ficaram terrivelmente doentes.
Nao era somente em estabelecimentos medicos que Dr. Swango praticava malicias. Ele colocava veneno na comida dos outros, e em crianca adorava mutilar animais. Dr. Swango sentia prazer em anunciar aos parentes que o paciente havia falecido. Isso causava a ele um tipo de climax.
Nao entendo como como
O Autor de “Blind eye”, James Stwart, que passou dois anos documentando a vida deste medico disse que ele nunca iria parar.
Somente em 1970 Dr. Swang confessou apenas dar veneno a tres pacientes, e a morte de Ruth. Os outros incidents nao poderiam ser levados a justica porque nao havia provas suficientes para condena-lo. Mesmo assim Dr. Swango recebeu como
Durante toda a historia sempre houve medicos que matam. Os motivos pelo qual levam um medico a matar sao variados e dificieis de entender e decifrar. Pra comecar, os medicos fazem um juramento de fazer tudo o que tiver no poder deles pra manter um ser vivo. Os que nao seguem este juramento veem seus pacientes como
Ha medicos que tornam um caso comum numa emergencia na qual eles podem ser o ator principal. Assim eles demonstram capacidade entre os colegas e ganham respeito entre todos. Mesmo que o paciente venha a morrer, o medico fez tudo o que pode e ainda e um heroi.
Ha medicos que tem compaixao demais, e prescrevem muita morfina para o paciente que sofre, assim ele logo morre. Um medico chamado Bodkins, John foi incriminado por 21 mortes em 1957 quando 40 de seus pacientes faleceram por circunstancias misteriosas. Ele nao considerava isso um assassinato, e acabou sendo absolvido das mortes.
Ha medicos que matam para cobrir um crime ja cometido, como
Alguns medicos se aproveitam de sua profissao pra expressar seu intimo proposito de assassinar, e geralmente estes sao de um grupo mais distinto porque tem como
Um dos maiores pesadelos para um pai ou mae de familia e deixar seus filhos nas maos de uma baba que tem intencoes de causar danos a crianca. E raro para nos assumirmos que um ser que entra numa profissao de enfermeira, qual faz seu juramento, fosse preferir ver as criancas morrerem do que ve-las sadias. Este caso teve uma investigacao enorme e quebrou as paredes do professionalismo mentiroso, e com isso, quase destruiu a carreira de todos os que ali trabalhavam.
Uma enfermeirra chamada Genene Ann Jones era uma enfermeira com bom atributos e boas referencias. Uma vez empregada na Clinica Pediatrica in Kerville, Texas como
A dona da Clinica, Dr. Kathleen Holland, quando questionada confirmou que nao tinha a menor ideia porque estas criancas estavam sofrendo em sua clinica, e por milagre, todas as criancas se recuperaram, enquanto no hospital. Porem, uma crianca de 2 anos, Chelsea McClellan, faleceu no caminho ao hospital. Dr. Holland estava desvastada, e tambem os pais da crianca, pois Chelsea
Nao muito tempo depois, a enfermeira Genene informou Dr. Holland que ela havia encontrado um vidro, meio aberto, com succinylcholine, um poderoso relaxador de musculos, qual hvia sido reportado desaparecido algumas semanas antes. Ao observer o vidro, Dr. Holland notou que a tampa
Somente tres anos depois que comecaram a observar que nas “passagens” de Genene havia pelo menos 50 mortes de criancas enquanto ela trabalhava no Hospital Bexar County Medical Center
Jones foi pega, porem pela morte de uma crianca, e julgada por dois atos, um de envenenar seis criancas e o outro matar uma.
A vida trabalhistta de Genene nao teve muito sucesso porque ela se metia nas areas aonde nao era de sua competencia e dava conselhos aos medicos e ate tomava iniciativa propria. Os pacientes sempre reclamavam de sua attitude, e assim ela pulava de trabalho a trabalho ate poder entao estacionar por quarto anos no Bexar County Medical Center como
Antes de sua saida do hospital, Genene era a irresponsavel responsavel pelos pacientes mais doentes, ou seja, com doencas terminais. Isso a colocou perto daqueles que morriam com mais frequencia. Os colegas percebiam que ela ficava feliz quando havia emergencias, e ate demonstrava tristeza quando uma crianca falecia. Era comum a necessidade de ressucitacao artificial, e principalmente qundo ela estava envolta. Os doentes criticos estavam sob os cuidados dela. Uma crianca teve ataques tres dias seguidos, porem somente durante seu turno. Uma vez ela falou a outra enfermeira que eles iriam imaginar que ela fosse o anjo da morte. Em fato, alguns de seus colegas chamarao seu horario de turno da morte.
Uma crianca foi enviada a secao pediatrica do hospital para se recuperar de uma operacao de coracao aberto. Em principio a crianca se recuperou, mas no turno de Genene, tudo foi por agua abaixo. A crianca faleceu e Genene usou a seringa para fazer o sinal da cruz.
Tres meses depois de tantas emergencies internas um comite foi formado para discutir o assunto, e para a surpresa de todos Genene resignou sua posicao. Os problemas tambem foram embora. Porem, Genene sentiu maior poder, pois se escapou sem punicao.
Mesmo tendo sido informada para nao adimitir Genene, Dr. Holland decidiu adimitir Genene, vendo ela como
Durante o julgamento, Genene foi apresentada como
Durante o funeral de Chelsea, Genene participou, chorou, e ate chamou o nome da crianca. A mae observou isso, e acabou chorando mais. Por mais estranho que isso se pareca, estamos tratando aqui de uma enfermeira que era supostamente encarregada de ajudar a salvar uma vida, e que resolve matar.
Um outro caso muito estranho aconteceu durante a primeira Guerra mundial em Hungary vila Tisza . Uma mulher chamada Julius Fazekas cuidava das pessoas que tinham emergencies medicas. Ela era tambem uma parteira, e tinha uma tecnica que ajudava as mulheres a se livrarem de gravidez atravez de abortos.
Muitos homens foram a Guerra nesta epoca, mas tambem ficou outros homens na cidade, e brevemente os servicos de Fazekas se fizeram necessarios. Alem dos abortos, ela tambem criava venenos, em tiras de arsenico e vendia pra quem quizesse na cidade. Pelo menos umas cinquenta pessoas compraram os venenos, e brevemente havia morte por todos os lados na cidade. Em fato, algumas mulheres decidiram se livrar nao somente do inconveniente marido que chegou da Guerra, mas tambem comecaram a envenenar os parentes que nao gostavam e ate as criancas. Ocasionalmente elas se envenenavam umas as outras. Marie Kardos matou seu marido, seu amante e seu filho de 23 anos. Antes do filho morrer, ela pediu que ele cantasse pra ela. Sabendo que ele havia sido envenenado, ela queria ouvir a sua voz se dissipar. Dando testemunho anos depois, Marie ainda achava isso alegre. Outra mulher, Maria Varga matou sete membros de sua familia, e considerou a morte de seu marido, um presente de natal pra ela mesma.
Isso somente parou quando um medico de uma cidade vizinha comecou a fazer autopsias e descobrir veneno nos corpos. Um comecou a acusar o outro ate que todos os involvidos foram levados a justica. Isso levou 15 anos, e neste meio tempo nao se parava de matar aqui e acola. Foram 38 pessoas presas e 26 mulheres foram julgadas. A conclusao que foi chegada e que estas mulheres agiram assim devido a promiscuidade que estavam participando.
Mudando de Medico para Enfermeiras, um livro chamado “The Sisterhood, escrito por Michael Palmer, demonstra um grupo de enfermeiras que iniciaram uma organizacao para ajudar as pessoas morrerem em hospitais por todo o paiz. “Enfermeiras se unem para o perdao”, as jaquetas descreviam, “unidas para acabar com o sofrimento”. Porem, dentro da organizacao alguns “mercy-killers” tomaram as coisas muito adiante e pacientes que deveriam sobreviver acabaram morrendo. Isto e uma historia de ficcao, porem o que vem a seguir, nao!
Em 1983, em Vienna, Austria, no Lainz General Hospital uma enfermeira chamada Waltraud Wagner estava na missao de matar. Durante uma investigacao, se percebeu que no periodo de seis anos mais de 100 pessoas estavam falecendo a torto e a direito.
Wagner estava com 23 anos de idade quando ela tomava conta de uma velhinha de 77 anos, que havia pedido a Wagner que desse a ela uma dosagem grande de morfina para acabar com a sua miseria. Logo que a dosagem foi aplpicada, Wagner sentiu em sua pele o sabor de ter este poder. Assim ela se submeteu a trabalhar no turno da noite, e com a ajuda de duas outras loucas, Llene Leidolf, de 21 anos, e Maria Gruber de 19 elas comecaram um paivilhao da morte dentro do hospital. Wagner ensinou as outras como como
Quando um paciente pedia demais, ou reclamava, ele tinha sua entrevista marcada com Deus. Inicialmente as mortes eram mais esporadicas, mas por volta de 1988 comecaram a subir. Havia rumores de que um assassino estava a solta no pavilhao cinco do hospital. Area dos doentes terminais.
Uma vez, enquanto bebendo vinho num restaurante, e falando alto, uma delas comentou que uma paciente mereceu seu destino, porem um medico na mesa seguinte escutou, e logo em seguida saiu correndo em direcao a policia. Uma investigacao foi lancada, e em menos de seis semanas todas foram presas. Uma vez presas, elas contaram que mataram 49 pessoas. Wagner se sentia a heroina em todos os casos, pois havia matado 39 destas 49 sozinha. Porem, se estima que ela tenha matado mais de 200 pessoas.
Wagner foi condenada por vida na prisao, e as outras por 15 anos. Observe que uma vez que voce for absolvido de um crime, voce nao pode mais ser julgado por aquele crime. E neste caso, hoje sabemos como
Em 1975, um hospital em Michigan Veteran Administration Hospital Ann Harbor
Em 1980, no Hospital for Sick Children em Toronto
Seja uma pessoa sozinha ou um grupo de pessoas, masculinos ou femininos. Pessoas que supostamente deveriam cuidar estao fazendo o contrario. Nao tenho a menor ideia a motivacao, mas se percebe que seguem uma certa categoria.
Comeca com um sentimento de invencibilidade, misturado com uma falta de atencao, e logo se transforma num termo chamado o Sindrome de Munchausen by proxy. Uma enfermeira que sofre esta doenca e capaz de fazer um paciente sofrer, e sua motivacao e de manter o medico, qual ela se sente enfatuada, mais proximo ao paciente, e assim, mais proximo dela, que esta encarregada do tal paciente. Os que sofrem deste syndrome sabem mentir em detalhes minusculos e nao se sentem culpados. Eles querem atencao, e o resto nao faz sentido. Quando nao for atencao do medico e atencao do paciente, e assim por diante.
Outros ja sao psicopatas porque nao demonstram nenhum sentimento de remorse por atos que cometem. Buscam hospitais para efetuar os crimes porque nao se detecta com facilidade suas brutalidades. Muitos psicopatas agem com raiva pelas pessoas, e somente podems ser detectados qundo alguem os observa continuamente. ISso nao e facil num hospital.
Existe tambem os medicos e enfermeiras que agem por dinheiro, e trabalham maquiavelicamente ate conseguirem que um testamento seja mudado, ou algo seja doado. Uns ate se sujeitam a matar para poder receber parte do seguro de vida.
Amy Archer-Gilligan foi acusada de matar seus pacientes numa spa. La os pacientes eram privados de comida, e assinavam tudo pra ela.
Anna Marie Hahn, da Alemanha, veio pra America
Kristen Gilbert matava os pacientes pra poder ver o seguranca do hospital, qual ela estava enfatuada.
Gwedolyn Gail Graham e Catherine May Wood, two lesbians, comecarm matar pacientes como
As pessoas que se aproveitam de doentes, estao preenchendo uma necessidade quais elas foram deprivadas na infancia. Elas nao se importam com os codigos penais, leis, e muitos sao sadistas. O que e pior e que todos nos ficamos com menos confianca nos hospitais, nos medicos, nas enfermeiras. Nos sofremos mais, e a sociedade inteira se transforma em vitima.
Parece que nao vai parar to cedo.
Vickie Dawn Jackson injetou relaxante nos pacientes em 2002, Texas
Christine Malevre matou varios pacientes entre 1997 e 1998. 7 foram provados. Ela escreveu um .livro sobre seus atos chamado “my confessions”.
Muitos pesquisam sobre como
Deve se observer se existe mais mortes durante este ou outro peridodo, e quem esta trabalhando nos periodos em questao. Observar se alguma morte nao era esperada, ou se a morte foi por motivos diferentes daqueles esperados. Observar quem esta sempre pronto para ajudar, ou quem foi o ultimo que passou com a vitima. Observar se a pessoa qual se suspeita tem trabalhado em outras areas aonde ocorreram mortes. Observar se alguem o chama de anjo da morte. Observar se a enfermeira tem muito interesse em morte. Ver as reclamacaoes dos pacientes em relacao a tal enfermeira. Observe se a enfermeira mantem segredos sobre sua vida pessoal, ou se e muito solitaria. Isso chamamos de bandeiras vermelhas, e devem ter valor devido muitas as pessoas que focam captadas terem isso em comum.

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.

FUTURES TRADING how to play safely?
How to participate with Futures Market – to make some $ or lose it all
The Future Market is regulated by the NFA National Future Association and by the FTC, Futures Trading Commission.
In order to become a Future Broker one needs to pass the series 3 Exam. Once passed with a 70% one becomes an Associated Person, or a Broker.
If you intend to become an Associated Person, bellow three articles written to help you with your endeavor. They are free.
If you intend to invest in the Option Future Markets, you are a speculator. Bellow a few tips to help you to understand this market and take the risk.
Futures do not trade in shares like stocks. They trade in contracts. Each futures contract has a standard size that has been set by the futures exchange it trades on. For example, the contract size for gold futures is 100 ounces. That means when you are buying 1 contract of gold, you are really controlling 100 ounces of gold. If the price of gold moves $1 higher, that will affect the position by $100($1 x 100 ounces). You need to check each commodity or futures contract since most of them are different.
1- The Future Markets contract you can purchase online or over the phone. It usually cost $1000 per contract.
2- One contract gives the purchaser a right to participate in the market for the duration of the contract. One contract for Options usually is sold for a period of 90 days, and the owner needs to get rid of it anytime before expiration.
3- A contract can be in your hands for one day, one hour, one month… but the longer you hold it, lesser will be the value of it. Sometimes you may not be able to sell it for the price you purchased it.
4- Every contract gives the purchaser the option of either sell it, take deliver of the merchandise, however, a speculator doesn’t take deliver of it. You will not invest in sugar to receive sugar in your home, unless you are a manufacturer or a food processor that need this type of commodity.
5- To better understand this process, you need to see some basics. Check my text http://miltonlaenearaujo.blogspot.com/2011/01/futures-trading-theory.html
6- You can go either long (buy) or short (sell) in a future contract.
7- Your associated person will help you to decide what commodity to enter the market with.
8- If you entered the market as a long, you own that contract and have to sell it sometime in the future. Let’s say you purchase a contract for gold, you went long on gold, therefore, you like the price of gold to go up, and so you can sell it and make money.
9- When you purchase a contract, you are in control of the size of the contract, and you will either get rid of it or take deliver of the entire contract.
10- If you entered the market as a short, you can only get out of the market by purchasing a contract for the same commodity, same size in the future, therefore you like the price of that commodity to go down. You want to buy low and sell high.
OPTION CONTRACT
Example 1: We are in the end of the winter, and you have an idea that gasoline prices will go up during the summer because more people are traveling. You call your associated person and tell him that you would like to invest in gasoline. He will present you with a Future Option contract that will cost you $1,000 and allow you to control the entire size of the contract of gasoline which is 42,000 gallons. You then purchase 5 contracts and wire him $5,000
You are now in control of 5 X 42,000 gallons. You went long on Gasoline, and you need to sell this contract whenever prices go up a little, for it will give you profit.
Now, we need to find out what was the price per gallon when you purchased it. Because it was winter, the price was $1.50 per gallon. So your contract will say
Option LONG 5 RB @ 1.50 - Date and time will be stamped. If for some reason the price of gasoline goes down, nothing will happen to you, for your contract has 90 days to expire, and prices can oscillate during the period of the contract, but it can not go down too much, or your contract will lose its value, for Option is a decreasing asset. It has incorporated timing and other things that allow you to invest only partial price of the entire contract and the right to control the entire contract. and participate in the market. Option is a type of investment that with a little money you have the option of participating in the market and even make money if your price forecasting is in the same direction you anticipated.
Now, your broker is watching the market, meaning, he is watching all commodity prices every time. You do not have to do it, and that is why you pay commission to your broker when you enter a contract, but never when you get out of your contract. Usually the commission is around $100 to $150 per contract.
Let’s say, you saw while watching Bloomberg TV that prices for gasoline went up due to a mishap with one refinery, or something unexpected. You see that prices for gasoline are now $1.75 per gallon. You purchased it while it was 1.50 and the increase was 25 cents. You called your Broker to learn that he had sent your contract to the floor – Yes, to New York Mercantile Exchange to see what price was it going. He learned that NYMEX would buy it back from you today for a price of $1.57 per gallon. Remember, they are buying and they want to buy it low and sell it high, as anyone else.
You then, get mad with your broker because he said that if prices go up you would make money, and now it did 25 cents higher per gallon. The price on TV is for buying it now, in case you want more, but not for selling because you are investing in an option, and it has 90 days…and each passing day it loses some value due to many things that no one can truly foresee it.
You then sell your contract – You have to sale it when you go long, for it is the only way to get out of the market. You sold 5 contracts and your profit is 7 cents per gallon. & cents times 42000 galloons will be what you will take home.
This is to inform you that when purchasing Options the price needs to go the direction you predicted, as soon as possible and as much as possible, so you can make a fraction of that increase, and take advantage of that fraction multiplied by your entire size of each contract. It is a good investment!

FUTURE CONTRACT
Example 2 – The same situation as example 1, except that you make more money because you buy for $1.50 and sell it at $1.75 without any loss what-so-ever, except charges that are minimum. You need to invest as much as you want, (there is a minimum for each contract) for it will be finished in the end of each day. It is a day contract, and you can invest 5.000 on gasoline and play one day… you may lose one day and win another and this way you go on. Your broker will ask for an amount to ensure that you are willing to take the risk. If prices go up and you have a long your broker will get you out in that minute with your authorization…. It is a process where you need to have a broker who takes care of your interest. You wither make money or pay in the end of the day… or anytime you offset.. your broker will decide when to get out, for he may be afraid that your money will not survive and he doesn’t want to call you to deposit more money to meet the loss.
You do not need to be in front of your computer checking prices. This is the job of your broker. Every day in your account will be taken money or deposited money from the market, in accordance with when you offset your contract. You open an account with your broker and hew will advise how much to invest on each commodity. It is the job of the broker to be familiar with what happens in the world, and predict what can go up or down and when.
A Good broker will contact you every day to advise what to do. You do not have to participate every day, but your broker wants you to participate, for he makes a small (disclosed fee) every time you enter, and you can enter many times per day. Prices can go up at 10 AM and go down and 11AM. and go up again… for prices are influenced also by the number of speculators interested in that particular commodity. Your broker needs to be watching that screen.
Sometimes brokers purchase different commodity contracts for one client, and make money here and lose it there, but always talking with the client when to buy and when to sell and what to buy and what to sell. A broker only gets free discrimination when he has a client for over 2 years. At this point the Client can give a Power of Attorney for the broker to do as he pleases.
I highly recommend that people invest in the Market, be it stock or commodity market, or any other market. The more speculators we have, more solidity for prices.
I think that it works like this: The market is world wide, and it keeps track of supply and demand of all products we produce and consume. People use the Market to sell their goods and to buy their goods, even for the future. Contracts are created, and speculators bid on existing contracts expecting prices to change dramatically for them to collect. However, sellers and buyers are in a contract, and the “market” already has calculated prices that are in tandem with each product and it’s fall and rise. The market makes it possible to not have a tremendous price increase or down fall, even if that product went into constraint.
What to WATCH!!!?? When using a broker.
1- Do not send more money just because another voice appeared on the phone telling you that he is a professional and will be taking care of your account. In reality, the person who opened your account should be the only one to actually control it for you, and not another member of the firm.
2- Ask your broker to send back your profits on a regular basis until you recovered what you have invested.
3- If your broker is good, he will start with your money and later play only with market money.
4- Check the background of the firm you are about to invest on, and also check the background of the broker. See if there are any irregularities with NFA or CFTC, and it can be found by clicking on www.nfa.com under broker. Type last name and see what appears.
5- Do not trust anyone with your money, therefore play safely.
