Sobre a Lei do Tabaco

Sei que está altamente desactualizado, mas li este comentário ontem e achei brutal:

“Nunca tive tanta noção de o tabaco ser uma droga como nos últimos 15 dias, após ler textos alucinados por parte de colunistas habitualmente respeitáveis como Vasco Pulido Valente ou Miguel Sousa Tavares. O que eles têm escrito sobre a nova lei do tabaco, deitando mão a comparações que deviam envergonhar qualquer pessoa que tenha lido dois livros de História, é de tal modo inconcebível que só se explica pela carência de nicotina. Eles fingem que um café inundado de fumo é coisa que não incomoda ninguém. Eles chamam fascismo a uma decisão que chateia dois milhões de portugueses e protege oito milhões. E Sousa Tavares conseguiu mesmo a proeza de afirmar no Expresso, sem corar de vergonha, que a lei faz “lembrar, irresistivelmente, os primeiros decretos antijudeus da Alemanha nazi”. Ora, isto não é texto de um colunista prestigiado - isto é conversa de um junkie a quem o dealer cortou na dose. Faço, pois, votos que os fumadores descompensados acabem de ressacar rapidamente, para o bom senso regressar e nós podermos voltar a lê-los com gosto.”

João Miguel Tavares, Diário de Notícias

Não podia ter colocado melhor a questão, eu concordo completamente!

Artistas favoritos

Definição de artistas favoritos (quando nos podemos considerar fãs):

Os nossos actores/cantores favoritos são aqueles que por muito rascos ou foleiros que sejam os filmes ou canções que integram, nós ainda assim conseguimos gostar, apenas devido às suas interpretações, porque se fosse qualquer outro artista por muito bom que fosse, a qualidade do produto em si vinha ao de cima e já não conseguíamos aproveitar nada do tempo que perdemos a assitir a determinado filme ou a ouvir certa canção.

Concordam?

So what??

I'll tell you one truth:
I don't want to have children.
Ever.

Now, generally that'a a statement controversial enough for people to feel shock and feel sorry too.
Then they ask me why.
Then they explain why i'm wrong.
Then they tell me I'm too young and I'll change.

If you are already cracking your knuckles, preparing yourself to furiously type a vilefying answer, hear this:

I have no plans to get married.
Ever!
I don't dream about my wedding day!that makes me feel quite naseous, actually!

Now now, calm down!
I have no qualms if anyone wants to get married or have children, but why do you have to force me to change my opnion and views of life?

Why is the topic of marriage and having kids so important, so big?
It does not need to be so for everyone...

Why are women's opnions in such matters so stereotyped?

Generally everyone supports gender equality, quite a few support feminism.
Then why is that women should want to get married or have children?
If she doesn't , that does not make her imature... jsut different, a non-conformist! and society needs people like that!

Talking (or rather, typing) about me specifically, all I can say is that if I had a child, i'd want to give it my all, i'd want to make a perfect human being (ie imperfect , but with great qualitites but with awareness og the world and hers/his weaknesses). For that i'd have to sacrifice a lot,even my career- and that's something i would not be able to do.
Call me selfish but not everybody's perfect! + i wouldn't hv a child because it's too much responsibilty in my hands! 65% of the time i'm unaware of thingd happening around me - and i like to be that way. so i child would end up atleast seriously sick if he/she was in my hands! n plus i'd be 2 stressed out and unhappy!
So children are not for me!

About marriage, if i find the perfect person, perhaps i would marry.
But as i have said before, nobody is perfect!
so i'd prefer to be on my own , living independently,going where the wind takes me! (ok tht might be a little bit too exagerated, but u know what i mean!)
Well, it's a different view, u may have to swallow hard and you most probably may be thinking that i will change once i'm 30, but i'm very firm on this...

So there, i'v said what i wanted to say and i'm ready to answer back whoever 'orders' me to change my decision! so bring it on! :P

is this just me or is this a common phenomenon?

I'm goin to turn 19 in a few weeks
And contrary to popular belief, i'm dreading it!
It's strange... i can't exactly explain how i feel... and there's at least one actress that felt the same way abt turning 19 (it was in an interview)
I feel old... it's almost 2 full decades on earth... and how many memorable moments do i have?
-very very few
what i have done worth mentioning?
-absolutely nothing! (if someone says good grades,he needs to get a reality check!)
do i hv a bright future ahead?
-doesn't seem so, it actually looks quite bleak at the moment
do i have any idea what i want to be/do?where i want to live?do i hv a clue abt my 'destiny'?
-sadly would b a big fat NO to all these questions!

Yes, i know i'm a great person,multicultural,intelligent, etc but do any of these indicate success?no really. in fact i can list at least 35/40 ppl who are like me on top of my head.

Whoever is reading this might feel tht i'm mad/clinically depressd with life.
think wht u want to think, i don't care. i know i'm eventually goin to accept my age.
but am i the only one feeling this way?
