everyone is missing the point about NEDA i hope she didnt die for nothing.

she has died, and for what, people try to blame religion, then those with religion try to blame those without religion, is this getting anywhere,

have we learnt nothing

Gandhism (or Gandhianism) is a collection of inspirations, principles, beliefs and philosophy of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (known as Mahatma Gandhi), who was a major political and spiritual leader of India and the Indian Independence Movement.
It is a body of ideas and principles that describes the inspiration, vision and the life work of Gandhi. The term also encompasses what Gandhi's ideas, words and actions mean to people around the world, and how they used them for guidance in building their own future. Gandhism also permeates into the realm of the individual human being, non-political and non-social. A Gandhian can mean either an individual who follows, or a specific philosophy which is attributed to, Gandhism.
Talking about "Gandhism" Gandhi had said "There is no such thing as 'Gandhism', and I do not want to leave any sect after me. I do not claim to have originated any new principle or doctrine. I have simply tried in my own way to apply the eternal truths to our daily life and problems.". He said "The opinions I have formed and the conclusions I have arrived at are not final. I may change them tomorrow." “I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and non-violence are as old as the hills.” he added[1]
Eminent scholar, Professor Ramjee Singh has called Mahatma Gandhi as the Bodhisattva of the twentieth century.[2]

to find

truth should be the goal of all, so many float throu unmindfully that they are unable to see what is real, what really matters in life, what really does make someone happy, what really does happen within our own mind, these things are all very similar and have been for centuries, which is why so many religions have lasted for so long, because they speak of everyday activities that people still have trouble with today, this is because they all arise from one source, and this source hasnt changed, and the basics of the nivers havent changed,

life needs hypocrisy

hyporcisy is a sign of growth, a person movin in some direction, hopefully transcending what is false, all the lies that we r fed, n movin into the lite, comin up for air n seeing the clear blue sky, it would b very sad i think for an individaul to go throu their whole n not change their views

there is no freedom

its all a dream on the wind,

from one to the next,

just let go u can smile,

time to say goodbye,

close your eyes n fly,

leave behind what is not real,

there is nothing,

a reflection in the lake,

life n death r a circle,

there is nothing,

there is no difference,

its all a reflection of ur mind,

a projection,

from ur ego,

a lost lover,

in fear,

that they can not exist,

without the other

time to say goodbye

Quando sono solo

Sogno allorizzonte

E mancan le parole

Si lo so che non c? luce

In una stanza

Quando manca il sole

Se non ci sei tu con me, con me.

Su le finestre

Mostra a tutti il mio cuore

Che hai acceso

Chiudi dentro me

La luce che

Hai incontrato per strada

Time to say goodbye

Paesi che non ho mai

Veduto e vissuto con te

Adesso si li vivro.

Con te partiro

Su navi per mari

Che io lo so

No no non esistono piu

Its time to say goodbye.

Quando sei lontana

Sogno allorizzonte

E mancan le parole

E io si lo so

Che sei con me con me

Tu mia luna tu sei qui con me

Mio sole tu sei qui con me

Con me con me con me

Time to say goodbye

Paesi che non ho mai

Veduto e vissuto con te

Adesso si li vivro.

Con te partiro

Su navi per mari

Che io lo so

No no non esistono piu

Con te io li rivivro.

Con te partiro

Su navi per mari

Che io lo so

No no non esistono piu

Con te io li rivivro.

Time to say goodbye----------------------

When Im alone

I dream on the horizon

And words fail;

Yes, I know there is no light

In a room

Where the sun is not there

If you are not with me.

At the windows

Show everyone my heart

Which you set alight;

Enclose within me

The light you

Encountered on the street.

Time to say goodbye,

To countries

I never

Saw and shared with you,

Now, yes, I shall experience them,

Ill go with you

On ships across seas

Which, I know,

No, no, exist no longer;

With you I shall experience them.

When you are far away

I dream on the horizon

And words fail,

And yes, I know

That you are with me;

You, my moon, are here with me,

My sun, you are here with me.

With me, with me, with me,

Time to say goodbye,

To countries

I never

Saw and shared with you,

Now, yes,

I shall experience them,

Ill go with you

On ships across seas

Which, I know,

No, no, exist no longer;

With you I shall re-experience them.

Ill go with you

On ships across seas

Which, I know,

No, no, exist no longer;

With you I shall re-experience them.

Ill go with you,

I with you.

nessun dorma

"Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore, e di speranza!"
(English translation: "None shall sleep! None shall sleep! Even you, O Princess, in your cold bedroom, watch the stars that tremble with love and with hope!")

"Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me; il nome mio nessun saprà! No, No! Sulla tua bocca lo dirò quando la luce splenderà!"
("But my secret is hidden within me; none will know my name! No, no! On your mouth I will say it when the light shines!")

"Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio che ti fa mia!"
("And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!")

Just before the climactic end of the aria, a chorus of women is heard singing in the distance:
"Il nome suo nessun saprà... E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir!"
("No one will know his name... and we will have to, alas, die, die!")

Calaf, now certain of victory, sings:

"Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!"
("Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At daybreak I shall win! I shall win! I shall win!")

ur religion is a lie

you follow rules and lies handed down by men who want to control and are not intererested in the truth because if they were they would never block or halt investigations, all religions were not even created by the men they proclaim to idolise, all of which created centuries after the men died and had left the world, with their message not law, but a guide, a light for each individual to question and test, how can any intelligent being follow something without questions, without investigating what is true and what is not,

you can never own land u freakin idiot

no matter how educated u r if u think u can "own" land u r an idiot n this is not a judgement, ask urself, wen ur born wat r u given??

wen u die wat r u given?

wen u "buy" land wat do u get?

nothing

nothing

tax

u think of nationalism or patriotism, they are both a lie and a form of brainwashing which is easy to understand because most people just follow,

most people are just ignorant and are happy to stay that way, just look at history,

there can be no nationalism

there can be no patriotism,

as every land that exists has been "owned" by numerous amounts of people and tribes,

they are both just forms of control,

a way to unite barbarians into thinking they are a part of something bigger than themselves,

ur a fool to identify with a nation,

or any piece of land,

is as ignorant and blind as a dog,

defending a bone,

home is not salvation,

wisdom is peace,

ignorance is suffering,

letting go is freedom,

if u ever have suffering,

u are ignorant,

i am ignorant,

i suffer for my children,

thou in the end,

we all die,

nations die,

countries dissolve,

governments collapse,

yet u still give ur life to something that will not last,

wasting ur enery on something that never was,

and never will be,

we are but fools floating in a dream,

dieing for yesterday,

not understading now,

will u spend ur whole life in a dream,

afraid of death,

afraid of what u can not see

there is no i

there is no u, happiness is a delusion and saddness is ur teacher, u can not know happiness when there is saddness, they r both the same, and rely on each other to exist, as is the law of nature, nothing but a machine to create life with in a controlled equilibrium. you arrive with nothin, nothin is ever owned then u leave in tears for what u only attach urself to

hard times

the secret to lasting happiness is to realize the truth of the moment, and understand that happiness is not based upon what u can gain or lose, but equanimity, be happy where ever you are with nothing, no matter where you are, and you will understand that the circle, the equilibrium of life takes care of all, so u recieve today what u did yesterday, and tomorrow you will recieve what gave
today

there is nothing u need to gain

and nothing u can loose, so why are you afraid to give and let go,

u follow what you dont understand but happy to go with the flow,

neither question or guess, yet allow them to undress,

as they take all you worked for,

i weep cause u still want more,

life was never meant for toil and tax, but to study learn and relax,

happy in your bubble of delusion,

as all the lights and sounds bring around ur confusion,

there can b no freedom when u wont wake up,

but you allow them to bleed u into a cup,

there is no tomorrow there is no hell,

wether ur in a dream or down a dark dark well,

the truth is out there in ur heart,

no one can show u but u must start,

to see tat ur life is in ur hands,

but u still blindly follow as i sinks in the sands

theres no one in control

how can any religion proclaim to be the ruth when its all just a matter of location, if ur born in one country you follow what you parents follow, and if in another country you will follow what your parents tell you, what happened to discovery, questioning, investigation, the very principles which have bought us this far, yet people still follow traditions that are over 2000 years old which orginated from another religion inwhich it replaced

Down syndrome girl has cosmetic surgery to ’fit in’

THE parents of a Down syndrome girl have caused an outcry by subjecting their daughter to cosmetic surgery to improve her appearance.The girl had "radical and painful" cosmetic surgery three times by the time she was five so she could "fit in" with her peers, the Daily Mail newspaper in Britain reported yesterday. Parents of another girl told the paper that they were also considering altering her appearance in the future so she could be more "accepted". Critics in the UK criticised the parents, with some even saying the procedures were tantamount to child abuse. However the family hit back, saying that no one complained when "normal" children had their ears pinned back. "Why should it be any different for a Downs child?" asked Kim Bussey, the mother of Georgia. President of the Queensland Down Syndrome Association Sandra Mayberry said the topic was often raised in local circles but she was not aware of any Queensland children having such surgery. "We don't have a policy statement for this," she said. "If parents are going to do something like that it would be their own personal choice." Mrs Bussey said she and her husband David were motivated by love for their child and deliberated for a year before putting her through the ordeal. In the first procedure, Georgia's tongue was reduced to stop it protruding, according to the paper. Then folds of skin were removed from the inner corners of her eyes to take away the "slantiness characteristic" of Down syndrome. Finally she had surgery to stop her ears sticking out. Mrs Bussey said that society often judged people on the way they looked. "Society is not going to change overnight - so Georgia has to fit into society, rather than society fitting into the way she is," she said. Another couple, Laurence and Chelsea Kirwan, told the newspaper they were considering surgical procedures for their two-year-old Down syndrome daughter Ophelia. Dr Kirwan, a world-renowned plastic surgeon, said they would make that decision if Ophelia reached the age of 18 and was being unfairly judged on how she looked. Mrs Kirwan said: "It just isn't right that Ophelia and others like her should be judged on how they look – particularly if they are turned down for a good job that they could handle. It's a matter of self-esteem: if you're not happy with yourself then why shouldn't you fix something? All I want is for Ophelia to be happy." The UK Down's Syndrome Association refrained from criticising the families but said no one should have to have an operation to make them more visually acceptable to society.

Woman jailed after killing partner over Springsteen

A WOMAN has been jailed after she stabbed her de facto husband to death when he stopped her playing her favourite Bruce Springsteen album.Karen Lee Cooper told arresting police: "I couldn’t even play Bruce Springsteen on my stereo - can you believe that? Can you believe that?" She later again told police: "I mean, who doesn’t like Bruce Springsteen?" "I’m 49 years old and I want to play my own music."In the Supreme Court in Brisbane today, Cooper, 50, was jailed for eight years. She pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Kevin Lee Watson on July 8, 2006. She was originally charged with murder but the Crown accepted a manslaughter plea on the basis she had no intention to kill. The court heard Cooper stabbed Watson through the aorta after they had been drinking at their Cedar Grove home, south of Brisbane

Kids see mum raped on YouTube

FOOTAGE of a mother repeatedly raped in front of her screaming children posted on YouTube has sparked calls for the video sharing website to be moderated.
The 25-year-old woman, who said her glass of champagne was spiked by three teenage boys when they visited her London home in November, said the three-minute mobile phone footage of of her horrific ordeal was watched by 600 people. The woman said she was unable to move, but fully aware during the hours-long attack. "They just hurt me the whole way through. They had no respect," she told Sky News. "Afterwards one p****** on me, like I was nothing. "I felt dirtly, humiliated, ashamed. I did not want to tell anyone, did not want to do anything, I just wanted to forget."
The mother decided to report the gang-rape to the police after hearing rumours of the YouTube footage, which was taken off the site after a local reporter complained about its graphic nature. "Putting (the video) on the internet was an abomination," the mother said. "I was raped on film and you could hear my daughter and four-year-old son crying. I cannot understand how any website could show such a thing." A YouTube spokesman told The Times that the site's rules prohibited content such as pornography and gratuitous violence from being uploaded. If YouTube staff saw content they thought was inappropriate, they could raise their concerns and the content would be reviewed. "If the content breaks our terms then we remove it, and if a user repeatedly breaks the rules we disable their account," the spokesman said. A technology lawyer with UK firm Pinsent Masons told The Times it was "extremely difficult" for trained staff at YouTube to control videos showing graphic images, with 10 hours of content uploaded every minute. "In this instance - where you have a video that may depict a crime - there's no technical measure the site can apply that will prevent it being posted in the first place," Struan Robertson said. "The only option would be for them to review every video before it is posted and that is unrealistic. What sites like YouTube need is a good reporting mechanism which enables content to be flagged to the site once it has been posted, and YouTube operates well in this sense." Three teenagers - two aged 16 and one aged 14 - have been questioned by police over the attack.

Wake-up call for Thai society

There's a lot to be worried about - quality of education, drug abuse, nicotine and alcohol addiction, and pollution are all getting worse
Published on March 11, 2008
Thai society is creaking with health, environmental, crime and drug-addiction problems, while its education system is still inferior to that of neighbouring countries.
Ampon Kittiampon, permanent secretary of the National Economic and Social Development Board, yesterday made public the worrying report on the state of Thai society during the fourth quarter of 2007 (October to December).
The positives were just a few. The employment situation was healthier with an average of 36.25 million working people - 1.6 per cent up from the same period the previous year, he said.
Educational opportunities also increased at all levels. However, the quality of education continued to fall in the key areas of reading, mathematics and science.
Crisis in education
The results from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), slumped to below average, while other Asian countries obtained higher scores, Ampon said.
Thai education institutes still lack quality personnel as can be seen from the fact that 30,000 teachers do not teach the subjects they graduated in and teachers give less importance to normal classes as compared to tutoring classes.
Health situation
With regards to health, there was a 9.6-per-cent increase in people put on watch for 11 harmful diseases.
At top of the list was hand, foot and mouth disease - with 8,381 patients on watch, compared to 1,368 people in the same period the previous year.
This was followed by dengue fever and cholera.
Thais had less access to social security, or public safety or protection for their property.
Drug abuse was on the rise, especially among children and youths. The number of drug-related cases jumped sharply from 26,790 last year to 39,106, a 46-per-cent increase
Crime saw a 10.6-per-cent increase.
Addictions also witnessed increased spending with 2.9 per cent more Thais spending on cigarettes.
About Bt44 billion were spent on alcohol, a 4.1-per-cent increase.
Those aged 15 to 24 drank alcohol more frequently, especially university students, with 21.1 per cent saying they had increased their alcohol consumption.
The environmental scene also saw a decline with Bangkok and other cities suffering more from noise, garbage and water pollution.
