President VS PS

Wow, the socialist party members got really upset with our President yesterday because Cavaco Silva is against new elections!
They accused him of not beeing impartial due to the fact that he belongs to the same political party as the government (the social democratic party).
As you know by my previous posts, I'm not stuck to a particular party, I even have my doubts about the relevance of the President figure on the government because the only main thing he can do is to block a certain law for 3 times, after that the law can be approved with our without his consent, so I hope I can say what I thnk without being accused of partiality.
And I feel exactly as the president.
There is no point on having another government at this time, we need stability and this eagerness to take the government out so that they can seat on that chair is unreasonable and qite franckly utopic for no one will be able to take us out of the hole we are in without pulling together for a commun gold.
Join together to make our economy grow, it's time we find people to invest on us. 

Desculpem-me todos aqueles que não gostam de 30STM, mas como eu adoro, não consegui resistir a dilulgar o novo video aqui. Bom feriado para todos!

Love is love

Have you ever heard someone saying "I have nothing against black people, some of them are actually nice, but races shouldn't mix..."
And some of them will include religion and sexuality in this way of thinking!
This really puts me off!
It is racism and prejudice though those who say it don't regognize it as such!
Do these people mean black people stop being nice when they marry white people?
The thing is there are good and bad people in any race so we shouldn't generalize.
Can't they see people's charecters should not be measured by the colour of their skin, religion or sexuality, but by their actions and inactions? By what they stand for and not from some "traditional values" which only prove how unable to evolve some people are, after all their minds are still stuck on centuries past!
Love does not take any of it into account and that's what makes this feeling so great!
All of those who oppose to inter-racial relations, who defend that people from different religions or that people from the same gender should not be allowed to marry do not know what love is.
My God does not tell me who to love, He only tells me to love!
And that is what I have the intention to do 'till the day I die, who cares if those I love are black, white, yellow or red? If they have an accent or if they worship  God under a different name (or even do not pray to any God at all)?
And guess what homosexuality is not contagious, you won't bacome gay just because you hung out with gay people, (I should know for I have friends who are and it never changed me) and they are great human beings!
 Despite the frustration these "traditionalists" make me feel, I can't help but feeling sorry for them, sorry for their little minds.
At least at the end of my life I can say I've loved unconditionaly.
How many can say the same?

Solidariedade em Lisboa

No dia 21 de Abril fui a Lisboa Para participar na corrida sempre mulher. Uma iniciativa de apoio a mulheres com cancro de mama. Aqui ficam as fotos.

Our dream world

I have already spoken about what I think of the unemproyment rate here in Portugal and what I think of the many people who preffer to be on an unemployent pay than work, after a while some even preffer not to work at all.for they have someone to provide for them (note that I am talking of some).
It's funny how people keep telling me there is no work available for all.
I say, maybe not, but we must be willing to try new things.
Last week there were farmers asking for workers to work their fields, they said there were not many portuguese asking for work so they contracted people from Croatia and Romenia...and then people conplain that there are too many foreigners in Portugal and that they come to take our jobs...
BS!
What happens is that they are afraid that these people take their place on the "not so heavy" jobs. What they do not think is that for a foreigner to get those positions they have to be better than anybody else while they expect to get it just because they are portuguese!
It's actually hilarious that my country fellows who don't have studies assume they should be able to get a job well above their capacities.
Moreover, I do not see portuguese who have a degree working on construction, or in the case above, on the fiels so I do not see how foreigners are taking their jobs, yet there are foreigner doctors in Portugal who are working well under their abilities without complaining publicly about it.
When I worked abroad, I too worked on any job I could lay my hands on.
Some will be better than others, but you'll endure it because you need to.
We shouldn't hate these people, but admire them instead for they work to survive whereas some of us will only do it if that job allow them to have the lifestyle they dreamed of.
If all of us were able to do only what we wanted for a living, we would live in our dream world.
It would be perfect for us though I don't know how would our society survive without people to provide for our basic needs...
Would we go back to pre-historical times when our uncestors collected roots and fruits to survive?

Sábado chegou!

E que maravilhoso dia está!

Desejo-vos um ótimo fim-de semana.

Aqui fica um dos meus poemas favoritos, desfrutem!



Shameful indeed

Even as a foreigner I feel desappointed with the fact that in US, only 54 members of congress voted in favour of more restrictive laws to buy guns on their country (it would have passed if it had been 60).
It's amazing how much power some instituitions have on people who should be representing their people and don't do it, because they are terrified to loose their perfect job.
Obama said it had been a shameful day for Washington, and it was.
After all, what else can we say when 90% of the people wasn't heard (or worse, ignored)?
And then they come and say Obama shouldn't have used the victims' families...
Wow, so the people who have been directly afected by the permissive gun laws on their country have no say about it?
Do they really think like this in a democratic country?
Shameful indeed.
