Why not study!

As a teacher I had a lot of reasons why you should study, but now I am not working as a teacher and have to rearrange my thinking. Therefor I will give you some reasons why not study, but I am a little bit ironic.

1. The Besserwisser reason
When you know a lot everyone will ask you for help, because they know a lot. For the same reason they will sometimes be crossed because they think you are bragging when you happen to correct your friends when they are wrong. You'll loose your friends and feel miserable.

2. The know a lot reason
When you know a lot you will often hear things that are incorrect. You might want to correct it, but because of knowing reason 1 you are quiet. Not being able to talk makes you frustrated, being frustrated makes you irritated. Being irritated often makes you a miserable person.

3. The well educated work reason
Being well educated and knowing a lot gives you works where they demand that you use your brain. That is not wrong, but you'll have a hard time not to think about the intelligence demanding issues even after work is over. Having a work not demanding any brain activity, like a disher or cleaning-lady (-man), you'll quit work the moment you leave it for the day. You'll have the rest of the day of. So, do you want to work every hour awake, but only getting paid for the time on the work, or do you want to have own time?

4. The religious reason
The more you know, the less is left for a divine creature to take care of. Earlier in the human history it was up to the God(s) if you survived or not, while it is up to the doctors now. A person knowing a lot knows this and a lot of other things that makes a divine creature harder and harder to believe in. This makes it hard, because you then have to think with your conscience, while a religious person will give all problems and sins the the God(s). That is easier and gives a good pay check in the life after. Instead you'll have to take care of your mistakes and faults, and that might make you feel miserable.

5. The dictatorship reason
It is a fact that in all dictatorships the regimes are afraid for the student, the persons that knows a lot and therefor understands it is wrong and have ways to solve it. Just look at Chile and how the DINA attacked the students, and still is doing it. If you want to live do not learn a lot, but be a pacharon, they will survive.

6. The democratic reason
Living in a democracy you'll have to elect the leaders. Knowing a lot you'll see nobody are fit for being the president (just look at the republican election in the US right now, the yesterday blogg entry in the end). You have to choose to skip the election and get an idiot as a president (The US was afraid for their enemies so they tried to hide behind the Bushes. This was not the burning bush of Moses, but the Bushes who made the world burn). Then you might try to candidate for the president post. That is not good, because you know too much and therefor you'll be honest and tell the people the truth. They do not want the truth (learning), but stories (fairy tales from Hollywood). That's why Al Gore lost against the small Bush-He said the truth about the environment. You'll just feel miserable and loose all hope for mankind, hoping “womankind” will heal the world.

7. The environmental reason
When you know a lot you'll understand what happens to the world whit great storms and dead forests, and know what to do to save the world. By trying that, and notice that nobody else cares (they do not understand) you'll get frustrated and trying harder. In other peoples eyes you'll look like one of the strange persons you shall avoid, and you'll loose all your ignorant friends being alone in your little healthy world. Loneliness makes you depressed and miserable.

8. The health reason
Knowing everything about food, and how dangerous it is to eat it will make you very careful cooking and eating. You do not want to eat things that might cause cancer or other strange things with your body-even vegetables might do it from the insecticides. This will stop you from the social life by not being able to eat at a restaurant or when visiting your friends. You'll be a prisoner in the health-prison loosing your friends that feel bad when you don't like their food. Loosing friends will make you feel miserable.

The child reason
You'll probably get children. Knowing a lot will force you to help your children with their homework. Helping them with that will make it hard for you to have your own time in front of the internet reading things like this. That will make you start thinking why you ever got children (you know how to protect you because you know a lot). Thinking like that about your children will make you feel miserable.

10. The miserable reason
By knowing all the paragraphs above you'll feel miserable. Who wants to be miserable? Stop study and get a life...

The reason all the paragraphs above is crap:
Study hard and be master over your own life. Do not let anyone boss with you without any reason. The more you know the better you'll manage in all situations. Only you may change your life for the better. And about religion:You alone choose to believe or not, but make sure (by learning a lot) that you are not jumping into any sects fooling you...

Mapuche

Once again chilean police have done it... On this film you see how a woman holding a baby is hit by the police in the south of Chile. (The same clip on youtube is cencored, you must log in because it is violent!) According to this Swedish link, from the Swedish radio, it is all about that the Mapuche, a tribe in the south, wants to keep their land. The government wants the land and the forest to build an airport and to sell it to companies. Threfor the government has mentioned that it is the Mapuche who has put the forest on fire. That is outrageuos, and a crime to their belief.

What is not written on that link is that the government uses the terrorist laws the dictator Pinochet made against the people on the left. That means that if a Mapuche complains he/she might be put in prisson without any trail for years- it is a terrorist!!!

Hope more and more non-mapuche reacts and lets their government know. For the cause of justice!

Demonstration i Israel

I wrote about Christians and Muslims. Well lets say something about the jews too, to make it fare.

In August 2011 someone published a video on youtube showing a demonstration. There a brave teenager from the US talks. He says he is a Jew, and he is aganist the treatment of the Palestinians. He speaks a lot, but he forgot one thing:
He was in Israel saying it!
Smart move? Depends on what he wanted. No matter what, the police did not like what he said and started to provoke him. It looked a lot like the picture from Chile in my article "take photos get gas" where the chilean police did outrages things, or "Memoria Viva! May we never forget!" where an officer shoots a woman with a tear gas gun.

The Israelian police beats him up, so that he tries to get away, which means harder grips-The police got what they wanted, a chance to hit him. It did not help to be a jew in Israel, if you are what they would call a "Self-hating jew". That kind of jew is not looked well upon in Israel.

But back to the topic. It is not about Palestine, I think, but about police brutality. Where is the thin line between the good police protecting us against crimes and when the police comittes crimes? As long as they get protection from the government it doesn't matter. We will always see this. Does that mean we shall let it pass? No, we have to talk about it, show our opinions about it and help those who are treated bad by the cops. Give them support in all countries (but not by threatening the police by saying "kill the cop"... that "justifies" their actions.)

Torture advertisment

Right now on Swedish chanals the postorder company cdon has an advertisment that is not so propper. It shows how a wife fools her husband by trapping him so that he hangs in a rope from the cealing while she takes the parcel with the movies.

Im' sure it is intended to be funny, but they missed something. For a lot of people immigrating to Sweden that was the reallity if the police took you. Torture and in the worse case disappearance.
Examples on countries where that have happened is Chile, during the dictatorship (at least 30 000 victims), Iran still on going... and a whole lot of African countries.

Why should a company care about them? Why shouldn't it? It is aganist the human rights with torture, and the victims have already nightmares about it. A company who does like that misses a lot in their tries to get new costumers. Victims of torture will never choose a company who makes fun of their feelings.
Hopefully the company will start thinking a little more global, even if the ads are not against the law they affect the viewers.

Memoria Viva! May we never forget!

When I was sitting reading on my facebook I got a link today about a the murderer and torturer Krassnoff (spanish link).  He was the leader of DINA, the "Chilean CIA" during the military dictatorship, involved in at least 91 cases of murdered and disappeared prisoners (search for his name among the other criminals in the list, english link). Two of his victims are:
Carmelo Soria, a spanish-Chilean UN-diplomat, assassinated by DINA and
Antonio Llido, a Catholic preast working socialy. forced disappeared. He was a great man, I know one of his students from the time when he was taken away. A great teacher in Chile. His body never found.

The first link tells the story about Krassnoff, but the worst part is that now (22 nov, according to the paper, spanish link) some people (organisations that liked him) where celebrating him, although he is in prison 144 years- may he rotten there, for "kidnapping, torture, murder and conspiracy".
Human rights organisations made a demonstration against this the celebration, and they had verbal argues. What happens then is incredible. One of the polices shoot an elder woman, who were scoulding them for celebrating a murderer, in the chest with a tear gas gun from maximum two meters!!! You can see that by yourselves on this youtube-clip (or in the last link above from the paper).

Ok, maybe he thought she was anoying (but who woulden't protest like that if your beloved relatives were tortured and killed?), but what do you think with to do something like that? That's criminal, and that is the second time in less than two months I write about Chile and tear gas guns. Last time it was Mr Maturana who got one stuck inside his underwear (read that article), and now this.

What is happening with the beautiful country Chile?

Memoria Viva!!! Live the memories of the disappeared, tortured, killed and forced in exile!!!
