Há algumas semanas atrás o meu cunhado respondeu a um anuncio de jornal que pedia mão de obra para uma empresa de construção.
No dia 25 de Abril recebeu um email da dita empresa contendo um contrato de trabalho para o meu cunhado assinar juntamente com informações que a Soger Satom considerava importante.
Primeiramente explicavam qual seria o salário por hora (€120), por dia (€840), por semana (€4200) e por hora extra de trabalho (€110), a este magnifico salário seria apenas deduzido 2% para impostos!
Logo aqui comecei a achar que a fartura era muita para uma simples posição de pedreiro...
E conforme lia a restante informação enviada pela empresa, mais desconfiada ficava de que se tratava de um esquema, vejamos:
Diziam que o 1º mês de alojamento (mês de experiencia) teria de ser pago pelo meu cunhado visto a empresa já ter tido problemas com antigos trabalhadores que aparentemente lhes teriam destruido alguns dos apartamentos que a empresa possuia para o efeito...
Quando fui investigar os apartamentos Dominion através do nº de telefone fornecido pela Soger Satom: 237 93231326 descobri 2 possoas que estavam a perguntar o que era aquilo uma vez que tinham recebido emails a dizerem-lhes que como a empresa não lhes pagava pelo alojamento dos trabalhadores os trabalhadores teriam de pagar o seu próprio alojamento. A isto seguia-se a explicação de como proceder ao pagamento.
Os dois acharam estranho receberem estes emails, eu achei estranhissimo.
Assim ao continuar a investigar a morada dos apartamentos que a empresa recomendava não encontrei nenhums cujo nome correspondesse ao indicado pela empresa, mas sim um com outro nome e nº de telefone...
Depois quando fui investigar a empresa em si descobri que a morada da sede que davam era francesa mas na designação do país constava as Filipinas e a area da empresa era na Asia!
Estão a vêr as incongruências?

Too handsome!
I couldn't believe the article I've read on today's paper, apparently it is a crime to be handsome in Saudi Arabia!
Dear, it would be laughable if it wasn't sad really.
Three men were expeled from the country because there was a risk of "women falling at their feet forgeting their moral values"...
The article came with two photos of this "too handsome a man to be allowed in Saudi Arabia" and Believe me, he is handsome, but not a God for women to be throwing themselves at his feet...
Besides one would think that women who were taught to keep their thoughts to themselves would not behave so openly towards a man.
And here I was, happy with the small changes women have achieved in that part of the world on this past few years such as being allowed to ride bicycles and cars, being allowed to enter the Olympic games, or the "No more abuse" campain wich fights agaisnt domestic violence in this country.
Yet this just shows us how long the road to equality is in these countries if they think women cannot resist a pretty face.
Maybe this comes from the fact that Saudi Arabia men think that their women are being influenced by us, women from the west, but I got news for them, not all of us can't resist a handsome man.
This kind of thinking has to stop for we are not sexual maniacs who cannot see a man in front of us without having sex with him. Just as I am sure there are men in these counties who don't treat their women as if they weren't people. Certainly there will be traditional women in these countries who will be more stuck to old values than young men therefore be stricker with the women from their family and even resist teaching their sons that treating women as their equals is actually a sign of respect towards human race.
This is the mentality we have to change so that people can be treated as people without being blamed even for their genes.

"Lágrima de Preta"
Esta semana escrevi em defesa da igualdade entre pessoas de diferentes raças, religiões e tendencias sexuais por isso pareceu-me apropriado findar a semana com um poema de António Gedeão que fala tambem de igualdade Camado "lágrima de preta"
Encontrei uma Preta
que estava a chorar,
pedilhe uma lágrima
para a analisar.
Recolhi a lágrima
com todo o cuidado
num tubo de ensaio
bem esterilizado.
Olhei-a um lado
do outro e de frente;
tinha um ar de gota
muito transparente.
Mandei vir os ácidos
as bases e os sais,
as drogas usadas
em casos que tais.
Ensaei a frio,
experimentei ao lume,
de todas as vezes
deu-me o costume;
Nem sinais de negro,
nem vestígios de ódio.
Água (quase tudo)
e cloreto de sódio.

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.

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?
