Office Space

Yesterday, I watched “Office Space” again. And man, do I love this movie, lol…

It’s a comedy about a programmer who works in a tech company, hates his job like hell and just wants to break out of it all.

It hits all the right chords, making fun of all the stuff that can really make any job a shitty one.
It’s really funny, the acting is very good, the soundtrack is cool; in short it’s a great movie.

I totally recommend watching this movie.
My score for it would be: 9/10.

People I Respect…

I respect:

– Poor strong-willed people who work really hard to make their lives better.
– People who take their jobs seriously and do them with a lot of passion and dedication.
– Self-built rich people who never forget their beginnings and always stay down to earth.
– People who stand up for themselves and stick to their principles no matter what.
– People who choose brains over power, peace over war.
– People who live in the present yet never forget their origins.
– Parents who understand how big and important an investment it is to love and raise their children in the right way.
– People who always keep their word.
– People who are always honest.
– People who have a just cause and are whole-heartedly dedicated to it.

In Florida: Shoot First, Think Later

Weird law in Jeb Bush’s state…

Florida’s legislature has approved a bill that would give residents the right to open fire against anyone they perceive as a threat in public, instead of having to try to avoid a conflict as under prevailing law.

Outraged opponents say the law will encourage Floridians to open fire first and ask questions later, fostering a sort of statewide Wild West shootout mentality.

Republican Governor Jeb Bush, who has said he plans to sign the bill, says it is “a good, commonsense, anti-crime issue.”

The bill is supported by the influential National Rifle Association.

I think this law is absurd.
This basically gives people the right to go on and shoot whoever they feel like, under the pretext that they thought he/she was a threat.

I don’t see what’s so common-sense and anti-crime in it!
It seems the Bush family has an obsession with the wild west and stupid decisions.

Truth…

Is there such a thing as absolute truth?

People always seem to have different perceptions of what the truth is. There are always different sides and versions of every story, different points of view, and every version is further interpreted in various ways by the people learning of it.
So how can there be one absolute truth? How can anyone ever be sure which version is the true one? How can anyone be sure that their intrepretation of the truth is true?

I guess the only things we can be sure are absolutely true are things that are fixed, invariable, unalterable facts that can be unquestionably proven one way or the other.

Other than that, truth is pretty relative, as it depends on how you look at things, which strips it of its right to be called truth and makes it more of a belief.

People mostly just believe that some things are true or right without them having to be.

Israel Exposes Palestinians to Killer Radiations

Action AlertRead and spread this…

Amidst stark warnings of potential outbreak of chronic and deadly diseases, Israeli occupation troops have recently set up a “radioactive” glass room at the main Rafah crossing through which Palestinians have to pass to enter or exit the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian medics said that potential diseases include thrombocytopenic, sterility, congenital anomalies, cancer, leukemia, mental retardation and ductless glands disorder, warning that Palestinians are slipping toward slow death.

“I was forced by Israeli occupation troops to enter this scary room-like radiating device, which consists of glass and barbed wire,” Mohammad Al-Sadoudi, 40, says.

Walid Al-Salhi, the director of preventive security at the Rafah crossing, said the room is made of lead-coated glass and is holding inside it a one-meter high cylinder-shaped device.

“Doctors warned that this device produces life-threatening, bone-piercing rays and Israeli troops can easily see the body parts of Palestinians, using the infra-red technology,” Salhi said.
