Eastern Culture

Forgiving and apologize is not only one of sacred eastern culture but the whole world. One who make mistake should be forgiven and should ask for forgiveness. I remember what my religion taught me, forgive and been forgiven. But now things are becoming so weird. I’m surely that you heard about the controversial and confusing statement made by one of our Member of Parliament.

The controversial statement erupt a chaos in the Parliament which is the argument between the opposition and the government MPs. A common thing happens in every parliament house around the world. One side says that the Member of Parliament that stated the controversial and confusing statement should ask for apology for confusing the Parliament House with his statement, meanwhile one side says that he should not ask for apology because every human made mistake. These argument become tenses and the apposition plead that this argument should be brought to the council.

Not so surprising that the Member of Parliament found not guilty for making a fuss and confusing statement in the Parliament. What was for surprising is that the Member of Parliament came out with a press conference that he will no ask for apology. What?

So surprising, where is our eastern culture of forgiveness? Asking an apology from the other Member of Parliament especially from the opposition that brought this argument doesn’t mean you bow to them. Am I right? Since we are young we are taught by our parent to forgive one who made mistake against us and ask for forgiveness when we made mistake. It is not wrong to stand your ground but better if we ask for apology.

Beside our eastern culture teaches us to forgive and been forgiven, every religious in the world do say so except for satanic and scientology. I’m not sure for those two.

For a Member of Parliament, that is a bad example for the younger generations and future leader.

The Cover Up

No mass media can be trusted anymore; private or government linked or opposition. All are used for cover up by certain parties, no matter whom: political, social and economic. These are all lies; the eyes and thought are blinded by these lies. Some are worthless to read: A perfect cover up, an excuse and a hidden propaganda within these lies.

Now the truth is not out there but deep inside a restricted room, they try to make us think as they think the way it should be. They think we should act as we are machines or some kind of fully automated robots, giving us orders and instructions. What the hell.

To whom we should refer? To whom we should listen? Where is the human right to know? Where is the freedom of speech? Tell us where they should look for it; tell us where you put it away,

We deserve more than just the perfect cover up; we deserve to know, to judge and to criticize. No matter what it takes, we deserve it. Not your cover up and another stupid propaganda. No any parties or agencies can take it away from us. Who are you to take it away? You are not God. You just a pathetic nepotism and bureaucracy slaves worst than animals. Discriminate its own species even animals doesn’t,

Where is the equality you strike for? Where it is? Or you swallowed it down your pathetic throat? Or just make don’t know? What a shameful act.

Arsenal 2 - 1 Man Utd

It was the best game ever for the Gunners fan. The hero Samir Nasri, Frenchman brought to Emirates score the first goal on the first half and struck another fantastic goal after the break for his fourth and fifth goal in English Premier League. A late goal by young brazilian, Rafael da Silva was not enough the league champion.

The Gunners silence the critics with the magnifient win over Manchester United. The Gunner move up the table to third place only 6 points from the leader, Liverpool meanwhile Man Utd drop table to fourth with 21 points. It was a great bounce back for the Arsene Wenger's men after a defeat with Stoke City.

Obama’s Speech

"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

"It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

"It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.

"It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

"It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.

"I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

"I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

"I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation's next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House. And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

"To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

"But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to it belongs to you.

"I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.

"It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory.

"I know you didn't do this just to win an election and I know you didn't do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime, two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.

"Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor's bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.

"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you we as a people will get there. "There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for 221 years block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

"What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you.

"So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.

"Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, 'We are not enemies, but friends though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.' And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president too.

"And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.

"For that is the true genius of America that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
"This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing -- Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

"She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

"And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

"At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

"When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
"When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

"She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that 'We Shall Overcome.' Yes we can.

"A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.

"America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

"This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

"Yes we can. Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America."

Arsenal Vs Man Utd

At the end of Arsène Wenger’s press conference on Friday, the Arsenal manager was asked outright if he was ‘in denial’ of the difficulties his side were facing right now.

This was his response.

“Listen,” he said. “Last year Man United won the title with 87 points, we got 83. That’s four points in 38 games. After what we have gone through from March to May, I don't think we can say there is a massive difference.

“At the end of last season, everyone was critical but we were unlucky to be knocked out of the Champions League and we were unlucky in the Premier League. It was a good season, if not a satisfying season, because we want to win the title.

“But I didn't come to the conclusion that there was a world of difference between Man United and Arsenal.”

His team need to demonstrate exactly that at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s side are only one place and point ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League but the perception of the two teams contrasts wildly right now.

While the Manchester United machine has been consistent and focused, Arsenal’s engine has spluttered as much as it has purred.

This has come to a head for Wenger’s men in the past 10 days with an acutely disappointing draw with Tottenham, a painful defeat at Stoke and miserly point with Fenerbahce.

That is why Saturday’s game is perhaps a pivot in Arsenal’s season.

A win could leave them three points off top spot, a defeat would probably see them nine points adrift.

“The morale is of course down when we don't win,” said Wenger.

“One week ago on Wednesday night we played very well against Tottenham and we didn't win. But it doesn't take away the fact that we played in a very convincing way. Afterwards at Stoke we had a lot of possession but we were not really sharp and I believe it was a hangover [from the Spurs game].

“Against Fenerbahce we dominated and had 70 per cent of possession but we didn't score. If we had scored and forced them to come out we could have scored plenty of goals.

“That’s why we have to keep winning, learn from what has happened to us and continue to believe in our strengths.

“But now we want to focus on Man United because it is a fantastic opportunity to show how strong we are when everyone is doubting us.”

Speaking of doubts, Manuel Almunia (sickness) Bacary Sagna (ankle), Theo Walcott (shoulder), Mikael Silvestre (broken nose) and William Gallas (hamstring) all fall in that category for this game.

Emmanuel Adebayor (ankle), Emmanuel Eboue (knee), Robin van Persie (suspended), Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) and Eduardo (broken leg) are definitely out. Because of all that, it is impossible to predict Wenger’s side on Saturday.

Because of their relative inconsistency this season, it is also impossible to predict the performance the Arsenal XI will put in.

However, a victory any which way would be a huge boost, as much to the media and the fans than the Club itself.

“We respect [people’s views] and we respect the press as well,“ he said. “They have opinions. But to achieve things you need to believe in your strengths and these people believe we are weak. That doesn't help us.

“The level of expectation is so high and because of that the pressure is very high.

“So we have to rise above that and be guided more by what we want to achieve and how we want to play football rather than by people who want immediate perfection.”

That however is not necessary on Saturday. Three entirely imperfect points will do just fine.

Puppet Politicians

There no such thing as free countries
True democracy and freedom of speeches
The innocent society been fries
By politic of blood sucking leeches

The lies lurking with the flies
As innocent civilian lies
Blinded by their own eyes
No more lies, its time to kill those lies

Seed of lies has long planted
In every ears and eyes they lay
A cover up them intended
Needs and welfare they play

No more democracy shall survive
The idiotic politicians strive
Choosing bribes as their bride
The needs been put aside

March with hand up in the air
The puppet politicians shall despair
For their behavior, thought it was fair
As angry voices rises in the air

New era of change has come
No more the puppet politicians are welcome
New breed of ideas has come
No more Paleolithic thoughts are welcome

Suicide Talks of Twisted Minds

Mushroom clouds of minds
Stood still vaporizing
State of conscious minds
Senses of human disappearing

Undertaking logical thought
Killing itself is a pleasant pleasure
What has been religiously taught?
Take no ethical measure

Sarcastic slaughter of life
Evolve around the minds
The better way of life
For those twisted minds

Provoking suicidal act
Evoking rage within
Fool puppeteer act
From the black shadow within

Suicide talks of twisted minds
Another epidemic disease
Scatter across fragile minds
Been attacked and cease

Evil minds rebels
Wanted to be free
Frustrated and bejewel
For a killing spree
