to those who still believe,i salute you

"A Saudi woman was sentenced Tuesday to be lashed 10 times with a whip for defying the kingdom's prohibition on female drivers, the first time a legal punishment has been handed down for a violation of the longtime ban in the ultraconservative Muslim nation.Normally, police just stop female drivers, question them and let them go after they sign a pledge not to drive again.The driver, Shaima Jastaina, in her 30s, was found guilty of driving without permission.The punishment is usually carried out within a month."

الإنتهازي

"Women in Saudi Arabia will have the right to vote and even run in the local election" zice washington post.eram gata sa cer o fatwa impotriva regelui abdullah,dar am realizat ca taramul lui e printre ultimele in care normalitatea se mai pastreaza:"All females must have a male guardian, typically a father or husband.Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that prohibits women from driving."plus ca treaba asta cu votul incepe din 2015,astfel ca mai e destul timp ca sa se revoce acest drept dat, inutil,femeilor.
o fatwa trebuie data importiva parlamentului din provincia spaniola Cataluña.dobitocii de acolo au interzis coridele.homosexualii pentru drepturile animalelor sunt in culmea extazului.

povestea merge mai departe

cantecele astea times like these(varianta acustica) si mai ales wheels,imi aduc aminte de povestea cu winona si cu solistul de la soul asylum.in fapt winona e doar fosta lui iubita si astfel ca nu conteaza defel.nici de dave pirner n-as fi amintit daca n-ar fi avut versul "I've got so much left to do with my life" cu care se incheia atunci povestea.daca povestea ar fi spusa acum,ar putea incepe cu "well I wanted something better man",continuarea ar ramane neschimbata,cu el si ea margand pe malul apei pana spre intersectia cu bulevardul mihai viteazul,cu suferinta din ochii lui reflectata in nepasarea din ochii ei,cu frigul in care el se trezeste,cu aceiasi durere(broken hearts will mend),doar sfarsitul ar putea fi luminos si plin de spernata(it’s times like these you learn to live again).fiind o poveste,pot sa-i las finalul fericit:and you feel like it's all over/there's another round for you...aiurea.nu e nimic.niciodata.

later edit.am gasit si varianta originala(din 7 septembrie 2003):
" won't you fill up the thank/let's go for a ride....",asta a auzit cand s-a trezit flamand si mort de frig.aceiasi senzatie de frig pe care a avut-o pe cand alerga dupa ea pe malul apei.de-abia se treminase august,noiembrie era departe.a ajuns-o,aproate de intersectia cu bv. mihai viteazul.in ochii lui disperati se reflecta nimicnicia din ochii ei.au mers tinandu-se de mana,pana langa universitate,unde s-au despartit.el trist,ea senina."i've got so much left to do with my life..."urla solistul de la soul asylum,fostul iubit al winonei ryder."nu vrei tu sa pleci si ne lasi in pace,daca tot nu stii numele personajelor?",mi s-a parut ca aud.era deja urmatorul cantec."standing in the sun with a popsicle/everything is possible...".

autumn song

september's coming soon
I'm pining for the moon
it's not like years ago
I'm not sure all these people understand
still, it's so much clearer...
