“We will never reduce sexual violence if perpetrators are allowed to hide behind language that implicitly or explicitly blames victims. The simple fact underlined by the list Silverman tweeted is that rape is a choice—one that the rapist makes.”

“Portrayed like this things start to make sense.
The artist who had put this together deserves an Oscar for lucidity and synthesis.
This picture says it all!
One type of civilization advances behind a mask while the other refuses to see what is going on.”That’s one way to interpret this image.
Another one, among many others, could be:
‘Those who do not feel free are actively looking for a way out of their predicament while those who have grown careless are no longer aware of what is going on around them.And, dear reader, when considering any of these interpretations, please bear in your mind mind that each of them has been put forward by a human being, animated by a specific set of beliefs and convictions which have been heavily influenced by his personal set of life experiences.
Le photographe qui a réalisé ce montage devrait recevoir l’Oscar de la lucidité et de la synthèse !
TOUT est dit, dans cette photographie!
Un type de civilisation avance à visage masqué…
Et l’autre, les yeux cachés ne voit rien venir.
“Cea mai buna dovada ca masa nu adera organic la propaganda este usurinta cu care isi schimba orientarea”
God! Some relate to it as if it were separated from this world. The God from ‘Deus ex Machina’. The Creator who remains outside its Creation.
This benediction is about something totally different.
Here God IS the world itself.
This way each of us is no longer alone but a part of something that is both bigger than the sum of the individuals that compose it and meaningful.
A prayer for all of us…
Go now with God.
Be not tempted to stay in the safety of known places.
Move from where you are to where God points.
Go now with God.
Be not tempted to go only in your time, when it suits, when it is sure,
For now is God’s time.
Go now with God.
Choose not to go alone.
Go in faith that there is no wilderness so vast,
No way so confused,
That God is not already there to show you the way. ―Byzantine Benediction
As most of the kids my parents sent me to a public school, it was pretty exciting for me at the beginning to learn new stuffs about different subjects and meet new people… yeah new people…
I remember my years at the middle school where I was the most fat and the tallest girl of my class! yeah I was that BIG …
One of the greatest things that made me a target for those kids was being that BIG for them and everyone was like: LOSE WEIGHT FAT COW!! I have to admit that in the past it hurt me a lot to hear something similar from those I spent eight 
hours per a day with, and the most hurtful thing was when we were having a team work or a sport activity most of them avoided me….
I kept trying to interact with them at first but I failed

Here are some typical arguments put forward by parents who choose not to vaccinate their otherwise healthy child (by “healthy” I mean they’re not asking they’re not asking for an exemption because the child is immunocompromised or otherwise couldn’t medically tolerate vaccinations).
For this example, I will pull quotes directly from a recent New York Times Article, Vaccine Critics Turn Defensive Over Measles:
“It’s the worst shot,” [Missy Foster, mother to an 18 month old daughter] said, with tears in her eyes. “Do you want to wake up one morning and the light is gone from her eyes with autism or something?”
Kelly McMenimen, a Lagunitas parent, said she “meditated on it a lot” before deciding not to vaccinate her son Tobias, 8, against even “deadly or deforming diseases.” She said she did not want “so many toxins” entering the slender body of a bright-eyed boy who loves math and geography.

After returning to my apartment yesterday afternoon, I spent the rest of the day cleaning out the old and making room for the new.
This wasn’t simply taking out the trash and recycling. I went through and cleaned out anything and everything that I haven’t used or that won’t help me reach my goals in some way. I also did a bit of rearranging to get the new year started on a good foot (and to switch things up a bit).
If you need some inspiration, here’s a few things I did:
-Eliminated cosmetics and cleaning products I felt were harmful. I had a few almost empty bottles that I’ve been saving “just in case”. Other things, I offered up to others
-Went through my bookshelf, especially the books I haven’t read yet. Any that I don’t think I’ll read or that I read and did not enjoy, I got…

Sometimes things (thoughts) happen ‘under the radar’.
There is a lot of talk about people not being as rational as they think they are. Soon we’ll learn to accept that we are not even as conscious of our thinking process as we presume to be.
The same kind of mental ‘ingrained’ habits are responsible for many men (and women) not accepting, deep in their hearts/minds, that men and women are ‘equal’ (I’d rather use equivalent instead of equal but this is another matter)
Tocmai am terminat de gatit si de spalat vasele.
Duc gunoiul in curte. Imi iau o tigara. Chibritul scapara vesel.
E aproape seara, luminile de pe strada se aprind cu toate ca nu s-a lasat de tot intunericul.
Nori josi care aproape ating virful copacilor, o cioara croncane, un caine latra si o masina trece pe strada. Claxoneaza, relativ discret.
La nici 200 de metri in linie dreapta o macara turn, aproape complet ascunsa de ceata, puncteaza trecerea timpului. Cineva construieste un bloc cu 10 etaje intre case cu 1-2 etaje. Sunt curios daca vom mai avea apa la robinet dupa ce se vor muta noii proprietari sau, si mai nasol, daca sistemul de canalizare va face fata. Oricum se cam infunda de fiecare data cand ploua mai tare. Bine ca eu am montat deja un hidrofor si ca blocul nu e chiar pe strada mea…
Termin tigara si intru in casa.
Gabriela Vranceanu Firea ne spune ca e ceva in neregula cu Iohannis pentru ca nu are copii. De parca Iliescu ar avea… Si, pana la urma, ce legatura are sula cu prefectura?
