Life
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Life. What is it? To this day, we don't know the answer. What is this post about? I think it's pretty obvious. I am by no means going to give you the answer. I am simply going to ask you this: What is the meaning of life TO YOU?

That is all. Think about it.

Related to country: Iran

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I was born in Canada. However, I am originally from Iran. Oh look, this atrocity is occuring in Iran. Who do you call to get a look at a more inside story? Well, probably not me, but I'll try anyway.

What I know for a fact is that this is not the first time that cheating has been highly possible to have occured. And I'm not even talking only about Iran. There are many countries that have wrigged elections. Although it hasn't been formally proven, there is much suspicion about the possible rigging of the election where George W. Bush was originally elected. His secretary was the chief vote counter. His brother had an important political role in Florida. There were many areas of suspicion. However, this kind of outrage has not been senn before; at least for a very long time.

The government imposed a GAG ORDER on the public. The phones are being tapped. The internet is being greatly restricted in relation to the number of websites that may be seen, and people are being arrested and/or killed freely for only expressing their opinions. People are out on the street in open protest. What does the government do? Launch an inquiery? HELL NO! They deploy water cannons. They use tear gas. They don't investigate anything but "the most suspicious results that are brought to [their] attention". What a load of bull. They have time to block a crapload of website, but for some reason twitter is still pretty widely available. Yet, they don't use this time to check out the problems. They even check your Facebook account if you go their to see if you have anything anti-government on it. It's rediculous. There needs to be some sort of intervention before it is too late. Don't let this travesty continue. Speak out.

Loopholes
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Whether it's a hole in the ground we fall into, or a plothole that can screw with even the greatest of writers, holes are everywhere and they are constantly a nuisance. My favorite hole, and one that is, at times, beneficial, is the loophole. This is one of the greatest devices you may use to thwart even the tightest of direct orders. When asking him questions, Kemp uses them all the time to not answer our questions straight-out. Lawyers are constantly finding them in contracts and using them to protect they're cliets. I'm always using them to get through people's defences and to annoy them thoroughly. They are everywhere and they are awesome. Look them up and find out how to use them. They are a tool that no person should be without; working side-by-side, screwing other people with them.

Libraries
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I know, let's take a bunch of high-demand books, and then give them out free. Only for a limited time though. But give them enough time to finish the book. And why stop at books? We still have movies and music and magazines; why not give them out? The library: and educational as well as entertainment sanctuary. One of the greatest inventions of history. How the hell did we come up with it? More importantly, how did the authors, the producers, the musicians, all the people that had there works placed in the library, consent to having them put out for free? What possible argument is there that would counter their "we want money"? It's an incredible idea nonetheless, and however they managed to convince the contributors, we should thank them. It's a place you can go to and find almost any book you could require on a sensible scale. Now they even have computers and free wi-fi to draw in the technological community that don't have computers for themselves (somehow). It's a marvellous place and is possible one of the most important buildings in every area. Go out to one today!

Blogging
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Blogging. We've only been doing it for a short while now, and yet we've only grazed the surface of what this relatively new medium has to offer. We see it as a form of writing. However, it is a form of writing with no form. By that I mean that there is no certain structure. Blogging can be whatever you want it to be.

For once, in written work, you can express yourself however you want. There are no rules; nothing you can't do. Just sit down at a computer and write. Ok, sit down at a computer and TYPE. It's complete freedom of expression. You could write a poem. You could write paragraphs and paragraphs. You could even write a single sentence. In our class, we were told to show intellectual curiousity. We were to dig deeper within our boundaries. Write the amount that's expected, but dig deeper within that limit. We were to constantly explore ideas that popped into our heads. We had to keep asking ourselves "so what?" So, what effect did that simple question have on me. Well, it gave me a whole new outlook on the way I write. My target used to be to write craploads and slowly get to my point. After this question, I started not only to explore deeper issues, but to also be more concise. Point. So what? Point. So what? And etc. This is simply one of the most incredible questions of all. You can write an entire essay just by asking yourself this question. Who came up with this? It's brilliant. It's like a cheat in a video game. It will help you succeed if you use it properly. How someone came up with this simple yet effective way of thinking, I might never know. All that I do know is that I will try to abuse this way of thinking as much as possible and to continue to dig deeper than I ever have before.
