Phallic based culture MUST be UPROOTED...

Start the Change from the High Schools and eliminate the sexist culture...within you and within the schools...

• Boycott ALL the events that are sexist in nature in the schools...  
• Reprimand the teachers when they have sexist behaviour...
• Debate the teachers for their sexist teachings and report them...
• The younger people know better...Do not follow the phallic culture...
• Males follow your logic and not your penis...
• Females...You are beautiful as you are...Repudiate the "make-up" culture...

Read these four examples... below...

They all happened within the last four days...around the world...India, Pakistan, Sudan and the U.S. of A.

Women are victims of male violence...

The culture has to change...but it will not...

Women are treated as commodities and the make-up and perfumes and all the "beauty" supplies...are huge profits and women are victims of it...

Churches condemn abortion...It is their conviction and right, but the churches must be consistent and condemn the commercialization of women and the sex industry...

Churches must not tolerate sex abuse of any kind by priests and support the women fighting against male violence...

Schools are full of sexists culture...

In the last school that I was teaching even the Christmas Show is contaminated by young girls exposing their "talents" by exposing their skin...in various dances...

Schools must teach respect for females and males...But in order that to succeed...teachers must be re-educated...and the administration should address the sexist behaviour of teachers...

In my last teaching position...Their was a female VP that loved to wear dresses that exposed her skin...I think she was narcissistic and in love with herself...When teachers and admin act in an expressionist way...How can they educate the student body...? 

The last few days were indicative of another dirty dimension of our civilization...

May be the younger people will realize this fact and change the world for the better...But in most schools the males are governed by the whims of their penises and not by the logic of their brains...

I hope for the change...but I will not hold my breath in expectation...

1) India - New Delhi   29 may 2014

                             

The latest rape victims in India...

 In Uttar Pradesh state, two cousins, one 14 and the other 16 years old, have been gang-raped...and afterwards the gang hung them from a tree and killed both teens... 

This happened in northern India today...

Two cousins were gang-raped by five men and they found the teens-14 and 16- hung from a tree 

Stop the violence and eradicate the sexist culture

2) Lahore, Pakistan  27 May 2014 

A Pakistani woman has been killed by her relatives outside Lahore High Court for marrying against their wishes.

The young women is stoned to death by her family for disobeying the family decision and "honour"

The husband to be admitted killing his first wife four years ago to marry again...

Police said 30-year old Farzana Bibi died on the spot after being attacked with bricks and sticks.

Her father handed himself in, but police say her brothers and former fiancee, who also took part in the attack, were still free.

In Pakistan hundreds of girls and women are killed every year by family members for not obeying family wishes and marry the "chosen" person...

However, many more killings are believed to go unreported.

Farzana Bibi's parents accused her husband, Muhammad Iqbal, of kidnapping her, and had filed a case against him at the High Court.

·         Husband of slain woman says he killed his first wife

·         Pakistani Prime Minister orders full report on the killing

·         Farzana Parveen, 3 months pregnant, was stoned Tuesday in a public area of a big city 
in Lahore-Pakistan

·         Her father, brothers and cousins participated in the stoning

Notes

   The United Nations estimates 5,000 women are murdered worldwide by family members each year in "honor killings," so named because the woman's actions are considered to have brought shame on her family. But women's advocacy groups say the crime is underreported and the figure could be around 20,000 a year.

Pakistani police officers will be investigated because they didn't intervene when a woman was publicly beaten to death with bricks, a court official said Friday.

3) Sudnese woman facing death for apostasy gives 

birth in prison

The Sudanese couple...The women gave birth in jail...
The Sudanese court has sentenced her to death because she married a christian and the court thinks that she should renounce her convictions and return to Islam...

 A Sudanese woman awaiting the death penalty for abandoning her religious faith has given birth in jail near the capital, Khartoum, her lawyer has said.

Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag married a Christian man and was sentenced to hang for apostasy earlier this month after refusing to renounce Christianity.

Mariam Ibrahim gives birth in jail...Will be allowed to nurse the child for two years before her death sentence is carried...

She is allowed to nurse her baby girl for two years before the sentence is carried out.

• Hundred lashes...even stoning to death...

Ms Ibrahim was also convicted of adultery on the grounds that her marriage to a Christian man from South Sudan was void under Sudan's version of Islamic law, which says Muslim women cannot marry non-Muslims.

For this the judge sentenced her to 100 lashes, which will reportedly be carried out when she has recovered from giving birth.

She also has her 20-month-old son with her as he has been held with her in prison since late February, he said.

Stoning to death...Who is innocent and without sin among you...?

4) ...And in the U.S..
Student kills six and then kills himself...Because women did not love him...because women did not care for him...Because the girls did not care for him...

Students at University of California-Santa Barbara kills 6 and then kills himself...

The victims...6 innocent students

The U.S. and Canada are not immune from the sexist culture...Change it... it is our God given right and duty to change the sexist culture everywhere...

Memorial...for students...

After "large memorial" will everything return to normal...?

Can we change this sexist and violent culture...?

Will we try?

Global Village needs Global Vision

Things that Humans Do...

Human greed and the desire to acquire material goods are the basis of human misery...
I do not comprehend why a billionaire will require another million...
I do not grasp why a person will need to have more than one house...
I do not condone the materialistic culture that we are wallowing in as "civilized human societies."

Our culture is based on consumerism...But the economic system is based on "scarce resources."
The global economic system is based on the reality of scarcity of global resources...
...And hence the conflicts between nations...To be precise, conflicts among governments and the ruling elite of each nation...
The uncontrolled, unlimited greed is in direct contradiction with limited and scarce resources...

In our global reality..."nation states" and boundaries are redundant... If capital can travel without conflict from nation to nation and capital has established supra-statehood, then there is no reason why people will be subjected to hardship and conflicting boundaries. 
The conflict in Ukraine is a paramount example of the conflict between governments and various ruling interests... If Ukrainians and Russians and Europeans are left alone, and if the armies and governments do not intervene and meddle in Ukraine, there will be NO CONFLICT LEFT...But human greed and the desire to acquire natural resources and control these very resources... is created a havoc in Ukraine and wars in various parts of the world.

...And the turmoil is spreading and human misery is increasing.  Solutions to conflicts are no where in sight...It looks like we are creating conflicts and human misery just because of our greed and desire to control the global wealth ...
The people in the Philippines struggled hard to get rid of dictators like the Marcos regime. And with their struggle they closed down foreign military bases in the country...They had a 20 years reprieve and economic development ... Just in passing I would like to mention an incident. I had difficulty with with my computer and phoned the center and a person walked me through the installation of the program. When I asked where the technician is talking from, he told me from the Philippines... 
20 years of peace and development...But now...
The foreign military bases are going to return to Philippines...and soon we will witness military bases there...Just to control the passage ways - sea ways and the newly found oil stock there. Recently Vietnam and China heralding the emergence of conflicts to control the oil resources...

A soldier fathered the kids and kids fathered others 

and 

now this family if 16 lives in a one room shack...in poverty and misery.

There are more than 20 000 families of this kind.

Soldiers fathered and abandoned too...

When there were foreign bases in the Philippines... The soldiers went out of the barracks and sought pleasure and relief from the military routine...They fathered babies and the Philippine mothers were left alone to look for the "family"...and now the misery will re-establish itself in the country...
                                   ***
Human greed and control of scarce resources has developed a culture of slavery and racism ...
Genocides (Armenian, Jewish, Rwandan, Cambodian)  and wars are the outward symptoms of our greed...and urge to control wealth...
The Natives of North America were subjected to all kinds of hardship and illness and deprivation... Just because the invading European culture wanted to control the resources of the land...

Before it was "Cowboys and Indians"...Now there still is teams like "Red Skins"...There are images of drunk and lazy Natives...

I have always advocated that high schools take a trip to Native communities and educate themselves in this very sad issue...

Schools take their students to Nicaragua or other countries...while the Native communities are just a day trip away.....

The Ps and VPs and teachers have to educate the students better and more efficiently... We cannot celebrate diversity when to do not make a conscious effort to eradicate racism around us....and IN SCHOOLS...starting from the administration and teachers... 

The natives of North America are struggling to change their stereotypical image of drunk and lazy to an image of decent and mainstream people...They still have a long way to go...

Human greed will develop misery...Human greed will develop slavery...Human greed will develop wars and genocides...
We need a civilization of sharing and cooperation.
We need societies that share and cooperate and rejoice together.
...And to achieve this;
We need a civilization based on sharing and love.
We need a culture of cooperation and not competition.
We need to humanize another time the humans...
We have to succeed... otherwise the alternative is very sad...

Organized Religion has Bloody Hands

Religion Must Lead SPIRITUALITY and not WAR...

Again I will write about death and destruction...and the churches and the mosques and the temples...and the leading role that religion played in the devastation of the world all along...

Throughout history human beings have worshiped power...have used power to subjugate others...have used weapons to destruct and destroy and eventually annihilate entire races and civilizations...
Religion has a very big responsibility in this regard.... Religious wars have been not-the-exception, but sadly the norm in human recorded history...
Not religion as such...but ORGANIZED RELIGION...has BIG responsibility...

Sadly...organized religion has bloody hands...throughout human history...
It was the persecution of the early Christian communities that set the tome in the Roman Empire.
Then it was the Islamic armies of Prophet Mohamed in the Middle East...When Islam expanded from the Arabian peninsula to Egypt and subjugated the Mediterranean basin...by force.
Of course the Crusaders...Invading Middle east to liberate the Holy Lands from Muslims...
And the Middle Ages...The Dark Ages...The burning of the "witches" on stakes...
The Reformation opened up yet another religious conflict which lasted decades...between the Protestant and Catholic Churches...Millions died in Europe...
And then the persecution of minorities in the Ottoman Empire...and The Genocide of Armenians...
Now...
Another conflict opened and Jihadists are persecuting the Christians of the Middle East because of their conflict with Europe and U.S. Some dubbed this as "conflict of civilizations", may be conflict between cultures...

Check below...

In Sudan the court sentences a Christian to death...because of apostasy and adultery....Because she was born in a Muslim family and now she is Christian and married a Christian...She has a son and now is pregnant with her second child.

A Christian women accused of apostasy and sentenced to death

A religious war (or "Holy War", Latin bellum sacrum) is a war caused by, or justified by, differences inreligion. The European wars of religion of the 16th and 17th centuries are the classical example, often referred to simply as "the wars of religion". Earlier (medieval) wars also frequently cited as "religious wars" include the Muslim conquests (7th to 19th centuries) and the Christian military excursions against the Muslim conquests, including the Crusades (11th to 13th centuries), the Spanish Reconquista (8th to 15th centuries), the Ottoman wars in Europe (15th to 19th centuries) and the Ottoman-Safavid Wars. In more recent times, since the mid 20th century, violent conflicts along religious lines have frequently been conflated with ethnic issues; examples would include the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Insurgency in the North Caucasus, the Nagorno-Karabakh War, the Yugoslav Wars, the Second Sudanese Civil War, the Syrian civil war or the Nigerian Sharia conflict, among others. Other ongoing conflicts are predominantly motivated by religious extremism, i.e. involving a faction representing radical IslamicJihadism, among others those in Afghanistan and North-West Pakistan, Iraq, the Maghreb, Yemen,Somalia, and the genocides and assimilation of the First Nations in North America.

Colleges and Universities in U.S. and Canada have expelled Christian religious activists for their activities against homosexuality and evolution...

Bryan College stopping debate of idea...

And one thinks that our universities do not discriminate...

I may disagree with the organized church position in many things...I may disagree with their stand on sexuality and creation-evolution debate or abortion discussion...But I uphold their right to free speech...

Let everyone have their say...This is how we resole issues...

Universities MUST be the place to start...Let us debate and debate and debate and resolve...

The alternative has been tried throughout history...War and pillage and destruction and Genocides and subjugation...

We admit and teach that "the pen is mightier than the sword." Let us follow this adage and temples of higher education must take the lead in this and in every debate....

OPEN UP THE UNIVERSITIES TO DIVERSITY OF IDEAS and let us debate...and resolve...Even if some ideas may be repulsive and repugnant...LET US DEBATE....not declare war and subjugate...

Creationists being expelled from U.S. university campus....

And also the infamous abortion debate with rages with passion...Let us debate and resolve...

Debate and resolve...Do not impose your points of views on others

Here is a sample of the debate that a student sent to me...As you will realize the language is very dogmatic and very militant...As if the student has had an epiphany and revelation and knows the way to truth...
Her she is...read it carefully...and above all think and think and debate...do not fight or impose your points of view on others...When you impose your views on others you are essentially destroying democratic debate...After all, no one has the right for truth...These are policies that MUST be debated...
Read below...and think... 

An acquaintance wrote to me...

Hi.... I am emailing you because I would like to write to you about something worth while reading. I am writing with a sad heart and exhausted mind. In the 21st century, we still allow the killing of humans.  On May 8, I was one of the lucky 20000 who attended March for Life, a protest against abortion, held in Ottawa. Stop the violence! A person is a person no matter how small! Did you know that currently in Canada there are no laws against abortion? A child in its 9th month, which is the month of its birth, may be aborted.  We are living amongst animals, or perhaps even worse, as animals do not abort their young.  The opposing side, pro-choice, usually uses the same oppositions such as: "it's my body, it's my choice." They fail to understand that no, it is not only their body, it is also the temple of God. Jesus, Himself came down to the world in order to show the value of a human life. Even people who do not believe in God, but understand that murder is wrong, should know that abortion is immoral as well. If it's your body and your choice, that means that it's also your child's body and your child's choice and I can guarantee you that the child would want to live. An article about an event that took place yesterday with the protestors who are pro choice: http://www.lifesitenews.com/mobile/blog/femen-lots-of-breast-not-so-much-brains-or-that-time-i-interviewed-a-femen Murder is wrong and illegal. Abortion is murder. Therefore, abortion should be illegal and is wrong.  But the government does not seem to share a similar opinion. Justin Trudeau states that a person may not be elected into the Liberal party if he/she are pro-life. We are being represented in the government by the wrong people. These people are preventing change, they are quieting our voices, but our voices want to be heard.  There is only so much we can do ourselves by marching for life and raising awareness, but once the awareness has been raised, action must take place. We need the help of people with high positions in the government to cooperate with us as well.  This can also be related to Mother's Day. Thank you mama for giving me life, for giving me a chance to live.  You, whoever you are reading this, your mother gave you life, and you shall do the same for your children.  There are so many women who are infertile and only dream of being able to conceive, yet there are selfish woman who make irrational choices and then make their child suffer. People always take the easy way out, they are even willing to kill another person to "remove the problem". Motherhood is a blessing, even when it is not expected nor wanted. Even if motherhood is not an option at the time, let the child live, do not take away it's life. What about the child? Doesn't it have a voice too?  Not to be too graphical here but one of the main ways an abortion is done is by inducing birth, and cutting the baby piece by piece inside of the mother. Then, the babies are disposed of, as trash, as worthless things that were not wanted.  Without the babies, we have no hope. We have no future. We have no next generation. Next time we all cry out to God asking Him to send us a cure for cancer or a person to change the world for the better, He will reply to us: I already did, but you have aborted them all.  Nina

And of course the death penalty...It is ironic that most "pro-life" supporters in the abortion issue are pro-death penalty too...

The death penalty is being debated on religious lines...too...

Ronald Reagan famously said in the 1980s that if the government is to err, it must err on the side of protecting life. In practice, to err on the side of life in criminal prosecutions is to convict without adequate evidence. Our system of jurisprudence should adopt this goal and err on the side of protecting individuals against the death penalty.

I am an spiritual individual...I believe that "if there was no religion, [humans] would have created one." Human beings need spirituality...But as they say power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely...

May be it is high time that organized church devotes itself to spirituality and advocate No wars...

Ban the wars must be the motto of the Church...
H.K.

Turkish Government Should Apologize too..

Stop the Denial of Armenian Genocide.
Stop the inhumanity of humans beings against each other others...
Stop ALL WARS...
Imagine ALL the people living in harmony...
Individuals do apologize for the Armenian Genocide...But the Trukish Government Should apologize unconditionally...There cannot be excuses for killing, raping, torture and mass deportations...
There cannot be excuses for uprooting and annihilating a nation and a culture...
Destroying churches, monasteries, schools and cultural centers...cannot be excused...and justified...And if not apologized and rectified...then the Armenian genocide is continuing...
Denial is continuing the Genocide...
Thank you Zeynep...I hope the Turkish government will follow your example...

My Apology From All The Peoples Of Anatolia Subjected To Genocide

BY

STAFF

 – POSTED ON MAY 7, 2014POSTED IN: UNCATEGORIZED

FROM

ZEYNEP TOZDUMAN – IZMIR,TURKEY

April 24, 2013

I apologize for every single day that we have remained silent since the days of genocide.

I apologize for our grandfathers who

cooperated with the murderers carrying out the brutal massacre of 1.5 million people in Anatolia.

I apologize from your young girls for

permanently burying their hopes into their dowry chests.

I apologize from all your people left dead without a proper burial, shroud or cemeteries.

I apologize for causing you to add the word ’converted – Donme’ to your vocabulary.

I apologize from all your girls and women abused and raped, forcefully converted to Kurd, Turk, Alevi or Islam.

I apologize for forcing you to become the Diaspora and scatter like pomegranate seeds to all corners of the world.

I apologize for forcing you to long for your homeland with broken hearts from the faraway deportation points.

I apologize for preventing you from giving your children proper names and education in your mother tongue, a basic human right.

I apologize for confiscating your houses, properties, lands, farms, orchards, and shops to create our national economy, based on a

disease of racism in this country.

I apologize for denying even the veryexistence of the original peoples of these lands after subjecting them to economic, cultural and political genocide.

I apologize for confiscating your places of worship (monastery, church, synagogue, Jem house, etc.) and converting them to mosques,

museums, community centres or stables.

I apologize from the survivors of the

genocide for even forbidding them from dreaming in their own language.

I apologize for forcing racism on you by making you repeat every morning ‘So happy to be a Turk’.

I apologize for presenting your properties as gifts to your own murderers.

I apologize for transforming the Anatolian garden of different peoples to a cemetery of different peoples.

I apologize for realizing too late that the sorrow expressed in the song ‘Sari Gelin’ was in reality the sorrow of the genocide.

I apologize for wiping out the various original peoples of Anatolia, living on these lands long before the arrival of the Turks, and for trying

to create a single nation state.

I apologize for creating a hell of murders in this country, instead of a heaven of humanity.

I apologize for burying all the  namedAgop, Kiriakos, Samuel, Ani, Maria or Sarkis in my city Smyrna as well as the rest of the country, burying our humanity in the process.

I apologize for committing crimes against humanity for one thousand and four hundred years in these lands.

I apologize for not realizing that fascism would eventually arrive and start killing us as well in these lands.

I apologize for not being able to put a stop to the denial and assimilation policies for one hundred years.

I apologize especially for our inhumane behaviour during the genocides of the Armenians, Assyrians, Pontic Greeks, Yezidis

and Alevis.

And I apologize once again on this April 24 genocide commemoration day, for our inability to protect you and preserve our humanity.

Self-Determination of people

Vartan oskanian is telling as it is. Western hypocracy and Eastern incompetence is at the core of the rotten politics that governments play with peoples lives... Self-determination is a basic right and everyone has the inalienable rights for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Post-Soviet referenda: The dream of idealists

Can the international community apply a blanket policy supporting the territorial integrity of all states? Last updated: 13 May 2014 10:35

On May 11 Donetsk and Luhansk regions voted in two referenda on self-rule [EPA]

Self-determination is an elusive concept. It means different things to different people. A referendum is a potent instrument to enable democratic decision-making and actions based on the will of the majority. The controversy is over who has the legal and legitimate right to decide to conduct a referendum. Now put the two together - a referendum to practice self-determination - and you get the confusion and chaos that has been created throughout the world over the so-called parade of sovereignties. In addition to legal discrepancies and political bickering, the situation is further exacerbated because of the lack of clear international rules on the legitimate timing and choice of referenda. To top it all off, there is the matter of the double standards of the major powers in pursuit of their geopolitical interests. Most governments in the West recognise Kosovo as an independent state; Russia does not. Russia and just a handful of other countries recognise South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent. The US and most Europeans do not. In both cases, one side accuses the other of violating international law. When Kosovo conducted a referendum for independence in 2007, the West determined that Serbia's consent was not required. Yet the absence of Kiev's consent has led the same Western countries to consider Crimea's referendum illegal. Indeed, the line between the legality and non-legality of a people's right to determine their own fate and destiny through a referendum has been irrevocably blurred. Fate and destiny On May 11, this confusion was taken to a whole new level when the Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk voted on self-rule. Clearly, these referenda, and before that Crimea's secession from Ukraine, were geopolitically motivated moves in response to Ukraine's decision to align itself with the West. Such expedient actions should not in any way detract from and discredit the more legitimate self-determination claims where whole ethnic groups have been striving to gain or regain their rights. There are 192 United Nations member states, more than 1,000 ethnic groups and a few dozen simmering, frozen or dormant self-determination movements in the world. If the world of nation-states resembles an onion, and each layer represents a new wave of self-determination movements, one may say that the onion is barely peeled. US President Woodrow Wilson was the first in modern times to embrace the right of self-determination. It was right after World War I, at the Versailles peace talks, that the principle of self-determination assumed its two distinct meanings. One is (external) self-determination seeking full sovereignty, and the second is for (internal) self-determination - to secure the right to meaningful participation in a domestic political process. When Wilson said, "No people must be forced under sovereignty under which it does not wish to live", even then Secretary of State Robert Lansing was highly critical of this categorical embrace of the principle of self-determination. In his notes at the Peace Conference, he wrote: "The more I think about the president's declaration as to the right of self-determination, the more convinced I am of the danger of putting such ideas into the minds of certain races…The phrase is simply loaded with dynamite. It will raise hopes, which can never be realised. It will, I fear, cost thousands of lives. In the end, it is bound to be discredited, to be called the dream of an idealist who failed to realise the danger until too late to check those who attempt to put the principle in force. What a calamity that the phrase was ever uttered! What misery it will cause!" Lansing was half right. Since his days, a great many peoples have realised their dreams of statehood, some indeed paying a high price and experiencing painful calamities. There were 51 states when the United Nations was created in 1945, today there are more than 190. The newest joined just a couple of years ago. The process has not ended. Dreams of statehood Just as the world was not prepared to address and peacefully resolve the self-determination claims at the Paris Peace Conference, so was it not ready to address the wave of self-determination claims that came right after the end of Cold War. It was a given that with the collapse of the mother state, the individual Soviet republics and the constituent parts of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia would emerge as independent states. The problem for the international community was the autonomous regions within those new states, with the exception of Crimea and Montenegro, immediately opted to exercise their own self-determination.   In our time, we have witnessed East Timor's independence made legitimate through a referendum; we witnessed the independence of South Sudan, too, on the basis of a referendum. We witnessed the growing number of countries that recognised Kosovo's independence after its referendum. Among the political, legal, academic experts working in and around those places, there is a growing awareness of the possibility and reality of recognising the right of self-determination in certain circumstances. The UN's growing membership is evidence that self-determination through referendum is a mechanism that works. The challenge is to have the right criteria to transcend the seemingly contradictory principles of international order: territorial integrity and self-determination. The key is to judge existing self-determination struggles each on their own merit, each in terms of their own historical, legal circumstances, as well as the realities on the ground. Certainly, we need to make a distinction between stability and forced maintenance of status quo. A status quo in political life is never inherently permanent. A viable policy of stability requires the mechanisms to pursue a dynamic process of managing change. The international community has to be ready to adopt a policy where it can manage change in this quickly changing and dynamic international environment. This is where the focus should be, instead of simply applying a blanket policy supporting the territorial integrity of states. Such a standard approach cannot be applied to every case of self-determination.
