Life is too short for non-sense

I'm just here to blow some steam. So the site seems to be growing very well. I'm doing some different types of blogging and I would like to know what you guys think. So I just wanted to say today I witness 2 situations of clear douchebagging, the first when a a friend of mine who I gave a gift on his birthday on 13. Today because he felt I didn't behave right on the party called me crazy (something about when I complimented him, something I did wrong dunno). The second was in the bar when some guys entered there just to tell the guy waiting tables that he lived a better life than them in his mercedes  (the guy didn't have a mercedes at all he was a waiter). In short some people are douchebags who don't acknowledge the good things in their lives. Them I just want to say life is too short for non-sense. Get your act together and stop annoying people ;) . A new piece article still this week.

Piece Articles: 5 Horrible People overlooked by history. Number 4: John Chivington

source
Many Americans can't look to USA and see really bad people... There are the bad ones and even the worst ones. But maybe John Chivington surpassed them all, because of what a coward he was...
He was the commander under the Sandcreek Massacre, where him and his possibly drunken soldiers attacked and killed some Cheyenne and Arapaho people who where settling there under American Flag with a promise from the government that they wouldn't be touched...
The story goes like this. On the night of November 28 of 1864 Chivington (a renowned Indian hater for some reason) got his ass drunk and decided that would kill some Indians next morning. The problem is that those Indians were protected by the United States and hold no guns. Making this what could be the first act of American hate ever on indigenous people. (Joking there were many others.) So what happened is that after seeing the cavalry charging forwards. Black Kettle, the leader of the Indians issued a white flag. This in no means made the things better. 163 Indians were killed by shooting or stabbing. John M. Chivington faced three separate hearings, but no official action was ever taken. If that wasn't bad already, later he also sent soldiers to kill his own captain Mr. Silas Soule who declared that would testify against him.

Piece Articles: 5 Horrible People overlooked by history. Number 5: António de Oliveira Salazar

Hello this section is called piece small articles. I took this idea from the articles on cracked.com. In fact this first article (divided in 5 pieces) was originally a pitch I did for cracked a while ago. It was dismissed because it was too dark. More parts coming out later this week...

Every time I think of cracked I think about Chuck Norris.




This guy was ballsy nuts!
Ok here is something you should know about the Portuguese as a monarchic empire. These guys were the first nation that abolished slavery and one of the first ones that abolished death penalty too, even before the United States. Remember this, it will be important later...
Then came António de Oliveira Salazar (known as "Salazar" to the Portuguese People), and then all the kind of shit happened...
Right out of beginning he declared himself "O Salvador da Patria", translated "The Savior of the Nation". Actually, he made propaganda, by photo-shopping his head in the body of Afonso Henriques, aka the founder of Portugal 800 freaking years before him... If you have difficulty on picturing this, imagine Nixon making propaganda by photo-shopping his face on the body of George Washington...
But this was nothing. Oh no, this was just the beginning...  You see, Salazar risen up to the power in 1932, right before the freaking World War II... He was smart and he decided to become Neutral in that war... But actually he was even smarter because he made money out of it... 
Also, remember that whole thing of the Jewish holocaust? Well he out of spite gave visas to Jew people coming out of North Europe, but refused to let them pass with those visas in France and Spain... During and after war neither the Allies, neither the Axis touched him, not even Hitler... Speaking out of it, Hitler never complained that he was giving Visa to Jews, except for one Portuguese diplomat, who was caught doing it... Salazar punished him by condemning him to a life of poverty... But Hitler knew it better already, because Salazar started a colonial war with every single one of the old Portuguese African and Asian Colonies that lasted even after his own death... In fact one Indian Operation to recover Portuguese occupied territories was so bloody that made almost 4000 Portuguese POWS in just 36 hours. (Not to talk about a civil revolution that ended in the killing of many, and the fleeing of many others who had rich lives there some of them Indian.)
Salazar also started his own police force, who was in charge of a espionage network and of manhunt, torture and kill literally everyone who was against him... Among the other achievements, he also: faked an election only to win and kill the opposite candidate in a manhunt through Spain and paid to build a bridge in the biggest Iberian River only to name it after himself in the end...
Oh and before following a political career he considered a career as a Catholic priest... Also his influence was so big in Portuguese Soil, that recently the Portuguese People, still suffering of Stockholm Syndrome, declared him the "Best Portuguese who ever lived" in a Tv Show... Hitler had a lot to learn with this guy...

My Experience with a Moroccan Transexual

 (Yesterday I listened this song on the radio on bus for the first time, then today I saw this video and laughed my ass off with it.)

So it is official today I am talking about transsexuals and transvestites. First I want to make you sure I am not any of both. I am real normal guy. And I don't generally don't hang out with them. But I am adept of penpalling. I just love to meet people online. Since I was 12 actually I am used to have several contacts on my Windows Live Messenger account (formerly MSN Messenger). But last year was horrible. So I started trying to make friends on a site called okcupid. This was the worst idea that I had ever. I had zero intentions of finding a relationship there. But I've met a crazy but hot Spanish bisexual girl, a rude Portuguese-American genderqueer (which means it was a girl but she whatever she used male or female clothes and haircuts and was pansexual), also on the pansexual subject I met a guy from Lisbon who really wanted to stick up his flag on my hole. And I'm pretty sure I am going to talk about them all here at my blog since that 6 month profile was surely the best I've ever had.
 But today I am talking about the Moroccan transsexual (yes there are transsexuals, bis, gays whatever you name it on the Islamic world, I can tell them because I've met them all (there about 5 islamic lgbt people on World :D ).
So you ask me how are them? Well transsexuals,  they're like any other person in the world. They are weird but normal people. If you close your eyes and forget they were born on the wrong gender you will see they will do everything to look like normal people of their desired. Just don't ask about "How is the sex?", because they are just as comfortable into giving you an answer as you are. Also some decide to remain virgins until gender change because they averse to anal sex. Seriously, like you some of them feel disgusted with the idea of doing on the butt.
My Moroccan friend was a cool person. I called her "Sarah" and I never heard her real male name. She was taking synthetic estrogen, but because she was on Morocco no doctor would take her case, because it is illegal there to be gay. And because she was unemployed she had only money for one pill per day. She should take 4 a day. That was dangerous but this just shows how the world is unfair to some people, and how we 1st world people are so lucky for the liberties we have.
How it ended? Well I tried to help her to leave the country. I even contacted some consulates and embassies around Europe. But no dice. No country really cares that much. Or lgbt associations, I mailed some too. But I never got an answer. In the end I was "schooling" her so much. Because she started this even before leaving the country. So she just said she hated "teachers". And never more replied to me again. A time after I deleted my account on that site. I made one in March again but I'm not using it at all. Okcupid is not a site to make friendships believe.
Oh and if you ask what about my Moroccan friend? She added me on badoo, the other day as a friend. She was looking for a guy to date in Casablanca (where she lives). I don't know if she succeed because she never answered my reply.

Ok I think I will still do an article today, but this post got too long. We will see but I hope you like it as much as I did.

Everything is a Remix by Kirby Ferguson (Must watch.)

Hello, I am going to post just 4 vimeo videos here (I know it is nothing new but whatever). Those are not new, and I will probably discuss them later. They are from an author that I like named Kirby Ferguson he has a site and a twitter. He has this amazing 4 part series called "Everything is a Remix", he also did a video on SOPA that I will add in the post below that was a bit about that. He also has new project coming (I admit I didn't contribute I was at a very difficult stage of my life back then but that always had my support.)
He says it will start before the USA elections so it is in November or before and I am SOOO excited to watch because he is an amazing film director.

Oh yes Everything is a Remix, is a documentary about nothing on this Earth being original because since of dawn of humanity we've been copying and modifying each others cultures, thinking lines etc while saying that is something really original. With nothing more to be said I hope you enjoy. Cheers ;)

So lets talk about... Political Prostituition.


Yesterday I was at the pirate bay. I am not going to show the link because I can't really show anything illegal here. Any it related to the video above and to the link to the site political-prostitution. And I am amazed to hear about SOPA related things more than 6 months before. During my search yesterday I also saw the site demonoid was also shut down. I think a bit around the world America is trying to save Hollywood by shutting sites and by extraditing people so in order to save Hollywood. The truth is Hollywood is became somewhat of a nuisance anyway. They just can't create new content, so they contemplate on doing remixes of old movies, over and over again and this is not even news. Smosh recently made a video joking exactly with that. (See the link below.)


See its funny knowing the the good people of Youtube can make better content with much lower budgets. And I don't care if Hollywood is pissed at the World because the World is competition. What pisses me about is the level of corruption in politics. By that I mean our politicians (even here in Europe yes), are standing for the big shots instead of supporting who elects them. How far is that for the people, if our leader don't root for us. We pay the taxes don't we? Why they need to take on millions given by big shots and make a blind eye to the people.
Dvds are extremely expensive, music too. So we need to pay barrels of money to all the content we want to watch? So they can be even more rich and mess with us again. Is our choice between watching less content or pay more money? Because if we paid for all we watch we would be starving!
On a last note (and I know I am writing about my personal agenda but that was explicit since the beginning of the blog) we need to find politicians with more virtues, we shouldn't let anyone enter into politics (I know I didn't vote for half of the people on my parliament, and somewhat that scares me). Or instead we should give more power into our countries decisions. You know a bit more of direct democracy. Don't you agree?

I agree that together we could make a change. By the way since I am giving this older post link, check also other of my ideas under the tag Floating Debt Speculation. Go head don't be shy, and tell me after what you think ;) . Thank you all!

Ps: If changethis doesn't help me with the manifesto I will make it and share with you all here and at squidoo, give it a month or two.

Pps: Go watch the political prostitution site above, it is important. It speaks mainly about US trying to extradit anyone who shares illegal content even if it is indirectly? Isn't this mad? I bet there are terrorist more worth of extradition U.S. ;)

Update: If you want to know more about this Non Sense of SOPA, see this amazing video by Kirby Ferguson that explains all. (It was from the time it was a REAL menace.)

This the way you get if you don't stop eat.


Today I saw this video on Vice channel, and I just had to talk about it. People blame frequently themselves and other for being fat. Well I think being a bit chubby is not a crime, I am a bit chubby myself. (Lets say I eat well.) But in first world countries people abuse so much! The most well known case is America, were obesity is almost a national sport, I don't need articles to prove you, a google search will show how big the obesity problem is there. The problem is if you just keep eating you will reach a point when you cannot breath well, you will crush yourself if you try to run or walk and have a cardiac arrest and die. I could say a lot of things about it, but the video explain very well the problem and it is just 15 minutes.

So have fun and watch!

Wikipedia is up again

It seems it was just a maintenance. Cool. A new article will appear again still today.

Wikipedia is down



And that is it! For the first time in my life I see wikipedia bugged. It is due to the fact the server are doing some kind of maintenance or something, in fact the whole Wikimedia is down for some reason? Is it a bug? Something hacked into it? I don't know. Without my primary source for info I can't do articles either. If there is a story I will try and find it. If it is just a maintenance or whatever, it seems no trouble. Anyhow I will be back later with more about the case.

Questionarium: What can be made higher, bigger or stronger?

Welcome to Questionarium, were I try to answer question asked by the readers. Unfortunately there isn't many right now, so today's question is provided by Scamper. If you want to ask me any question about anything send it to silveringking@hotmail.com.

So today's question is: What can be made higher, bigger or stronger?

(source)

So when I read this question I had to think for a while. In fact it got me some good 10 minutes to think about it. Then I remembered the big cities, New York, London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan. The great human discovers: the car, the plain, the first vaccines, the balloon. And I remember how big things and people are getting these days. I was never in USA, but people tell me that everything there is huge. The building are huge, the people fat as hell (which can be a good and bad thing), how is possible to make cattle HUGE. And how everyday a new variation of some old random disease got fired up (the chicken flu for example) and we are all scared, and then like in a moment we discover a cure and all panic passes. The big diseases, the incurable killing bogeymen and how they appear and disappear. We the Black Death on the Medieval Ages, and then Polio back in the 50's. The Modern bogeyman seems to be AIDS but even  this one seems to be taken care already. So go knows what will be the next fashion disease of the century.
So if you ask me what can be made higher, bigger or stronger? I would answer that humanity is the only thing that has power to make not only itself but everything around it. Today the World is big enough, in a century we can be in Mars or Jupiter or whatever.
Hey I remember that there is a catchy song by Nelly Furtado, that has become popular recently. She repeats "The bigger the better, the bigger the better, the better bigger.", like a thousand times. (She also supposedly makes Iluminatti symbols or whatever but that not the theme of today.)

 

Have some fun!


So lets talk about... Karl Marx and modern politicians.

I want to talk about Karl Marx today. But first I want to say it was hard to find a theme to talk about, yesterday I was busy by creating a lot of post for people at ChangeThis even knowing that I may not be published that I forgot the real objective, that is spread my ideas and talk about my life. So I've been busy trying to expose more my blog.

So today is Karl Marx

(this guy)
I found amusing people connect Marx, with communism. Like marxism-leninism, maoism.
I love communism and socialism, but I can't help but laught at those two. In fact I despise communism, socialism and those marxism the people talk about. And sincerely, if any of those people who invented those fancy-pants marxist theories could met Marx, I am pretty sure he would slap them to death.

"History is not like some individual person, which uses men to achieve its ends. History is nothing but the actions of men in pursuit of their ends." - Karl Marx

Marx believed that we could live in a stateless, classless society. This in my opinion goes against everything people think about him, which are mostly wrong ideas.

Lets put that into analysis. Karl Marx never stood up for one party, things like that belonged to Lenin and Mao Tse Tsung. Both were tyrannical people go read about the Soviet Union , if you want to read about Tsung, say no more why don't you read about a little thing called the Great Leap Forward *cough*. Cracked has also a good article about it and about Mao Tse Tsung and other "Communist" Leaders. Also it surprises me that some of our modern leaders are also followers of these crackpots.

I mean who could relate these people with a guy who once stood for feminism:

"Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included." - Karl Marx

It also surprises me the level of corruption of some modern socialist leaders. I mean if Marx believe one day we would need no leaders. Why all of those act like as if they were the top cream of society. And threat like a piñata ready to be blown, these weren't nothing related Marx teachings, why do them relate themselves to Marx?

Ok that is enough for now. I think this article has gone long enough. 

Miraculous Debt (The Concept)

                                 (click on the image to enlarge it)

Miraculous Debt is a Mass Destructive Debt made by Foreign Nations towards an afflicted economy.
Miraculous Debt has it name because the moment that would happen it would be a blessing to the ones receiving it. The same principles of Destructive Debt apply here too.
The logic here is that if we solve the biggest problem first instead of everyone just meddling their affairs, the whole rest of the smaller problems will also be solved.
 
Transcribed from "Floating Debt", written with the propose of helping the international crisis. Check the image above for a graphical representation.

Destructive Debt (The Concept)

 

                                           (open a new link to enlarge the image)
 
Destructive debt is when you buy debt. So that it can be automatically destroyed.
You must expect no compensation for your sacrifice. But the debt will be gone forever. 
If we are talking about Destructive Debt anyone without restrictions can buy it freely. Destructive Debt may or may not be tax reducible.
Transcribed from "Floating Debt" as a part of a possible solution to help out the international crisis. See the image above for a graphical representation!

Economical Happinness (The Concept)

                                         source


Economical Happiness is when the World's Economy or one's country Economy is happy.
You're not necessarily in a safe situation. But your government is creating conditions for investors, banks, creditors. (The people who own money and/or debt.) Do not feel suspicious and instead feel safe, invest and do not create less desirable situations.

A happy economy is a stable economy under crisis. Various methods can be applied to create Economical Happiness when there isn't supposed to have one. Three examples of possible stabilization of Economical "Mood" are presented here: Ghost Debt, Destructive Debt and Miraculous Debt. 

Transcribed from "Floating Debt", made in order to help out with the crisis.

Ghost Debt (The Concept)

                                 (open in a new link to see it better)

Ghost debt is when you buy your own debt. You buy it with interest from your own government which compensates you when buying it back with some interest. That interest may not be in money. Ghost debt can be repaid in many ways. Like an increase on your paychecks when you retire. But mainly the idea is that your government compensates you for your effort. It can be considered a patriotic act in times of crisis and can temporarily induce Economical Happiness.
Transcribed from "Floating Debt"


See the scheme image above for a graphical representation. (Ghost Debt was written with the propose of helping with the crisis.)

Floating Debt the Introduction

Transcribed from "The Floating Debt Speculation" (even if I tried I couldn't find a better way to rewrite it).


                                source

Floating Debt is a concept that is presented as complement for taxes (in a way to ease up excessive taxation). And that can also be used as a substitute for taxation (although this can be very unpredictable). Regarding the substitution of taxes, one must be careful.
The concept explains that debt "floats" from one's pocket to the pockets of everyone. It can be destructed, become a ghost or even in extreme cases miracles can happen out of human generosity towards themselves.

Floating debt was originally designed as a temporary fix and/or last resort solution to avoid Economic Stagnation in Circular Economies. (Which represents the whole globe nowadays.)
Floating Debt is a Circular Concept also. Although a left-minded and humane one.

So what is Floating Debt?

Floating Debt is a group of theories of my own that I grouped into a paper.
I believe that we are evolving into a society which is educated and free thinking. So I created a type of "market" that would revolve about people have more power to dictate their countries' financial stability.
Imagine a world were you wouldn't have to take on a specially corrupt or incompetent governor, that is what Floating Debt is about. If my theories are correct you and me could dictate who are the strongest economies, if taxes should be higher or lower, and we could fight corruption in a system were a country's finances would be more exposed therefore it would be harder to be corrupt. With the coming of the internet, with this era stronger education, I believe a new thing can come too that is the collective mind. No longer we would be slaves of half a dozen men and women who dictate the life of millions. This could be the first step of many who could life more bearable to the man. So basically Floating Debt is about real people controlling the real money and also new steps into the future.

I also plan on writing more book about the theme, since this one just talk about the economic point of view. With everyone's help we could spread to the world, and I plan to maintain it free. But of course if an opportunity to make some to live my life appears I won't be idiot. If you like what I am writing, give me this boost! Let my book be publish on ChangeThis, so I can write more for us all.

Thank you for reading!

ChangeThis people are welcome here!

So I heard about this really nice site called ChangeThis I found it cool because I can publish there some kind of a ebook summary and it would get into votes and if in a month I could reach the 30 votes to my favour they would help me publish online my ebook (which they call a manifesto). This is awesome because I have I created last year, so I quickly set up the blog the accommodate any question anyone and specially from ChangeThis could have about my book. I'm going to publish some articles too to inform more. But feel free to pop up questions, of any kind. People say I'm smart!

Cheers!

Hello, my name's Carlos, pleased to meet you!
