How can they do that?


Just like every person who is all the time on the net and who is following politics, I'm also following the political campaign in America. What i love the most is that you can see where the candidates are standing on various issues. Thats really great and I'm sorry to say that no everywhere that is the case (for example my country Macedonia). On the other side, i really can't understand why the mainstream media is acting like that . For example I saw on CNN (a channel that i have great respect) how they are reposting what types of dogs the candidates have. I really don't think that has something to do how they will rule the world. I don't know, maybe It's just me... Other thing that i found very stupid is the reporting about who has more radical pastor, sniper fire in Bosnia, flag burning, flag-pin on the lapel, gay marriage... that's stupid. I really can't understand why the media are making the people more stupid than they already are. And It's not only in the USA. When a politician from my country speaks about big and important issues, they do that like they are talking to 5 year old kid. But when you ask him something serious, you find out that they don't have a opinion about the program that they are promoting. For me the champions in the mainstream media are FOX Network. I have huge inspiration to write about them, but I'll do a new post for them... they are the best

Modern double standards




I don't know how informed is the blogosphere about the Balkan peninsula, but in this period we are constantly bombarded, from many european politicians what we have to do to make things better, things that are not easy to remember. It's funny how they tell us to work harder to eliminate the unjustness, prejudices and all other ugly things that existed in the past, still exist and will exist in the future, but when it commes to their actions nobody says a word. This might sound politicly incorrect but Im sorry, while everybody is speaking about how the people from the balkans, nobody didn't mention how many people have died in Algeria under the French ruling, or the apartheid in South Africa, that was created, implemented and supported by european leaders and european countries (that's why i find it very ironic the celebration of Nelson Mandelas birthday in U.K.). But the funniest thing for me is the next fact: the Eropean countries have created the slavery, communism, fascism, all the things that cost the world milions and milions human lifes, and now the same countries want sell me freedom and democracy. I can teach them about those issues,and i'm only 25 year old. I have more credentials for that than all the politicians together.
I'm sorry but i can't affort to take advice from the union becouse of two reasons: one: becouse they have made so many things wrong. two: the European union will never exist, there is too mutch nationalism and hate between them.

A tribute to George Carlin


Couple of days ago the world lost one of the biggest fighter for free speech. I have to admit that two years ago i have not heard about George Carlin. It a bit hard to catch up with the all those smart people who are doing great job. By its a bit hard i mean European union, corrupt European politicians, broken European media and lack of education and information. I mean i live in my bubble and i never could imagine that in America there are many people who are speaking truly to many issues that are important.
I will use a phrase that Bill Maher once used for Richard Prior. For me George Carlin is the Mount Rushmore for free speech. I'm very sad for the lost of this great man. For me George Carlin wasn't a comedian. He was a genius. The words that he said and wrote are very profound and deep. He presented a thing called logic and critical thinking in the mainstream media. I'm glad that a lot of people have catch up to his work. This man wasn't afraid to go after the regular people, the bad segments of the religion, politicians and the stupid America in general.
I really don't have enough big words to express my self what i think for George Carlin. Nobody can't do that. The best thing is to see his work and to continue the battle between logic and stupidity where George Carlin was the lead General.

Rest in peace Gorge Carlin...
