Corruption of the Invader

On his deathbed, one of the first conquistadors, Amancio de la Sierra Lesama, wrote an apologetic letter to King Felipe V de España. The source of this letter is from a book called Sick People by the Bolivian author Alcides de Arguedas first published in 1909. "For your majesty to understand; the Incas governed (the indigenous people) in such a way that there wasn't a single thief, dissolute or idle man, nor any perverse or adulterer woman. The Incas did not allow among themselves people with bad morals and men had their fruitful and honest professions. In order for us to conquer them (indigenous people), we had to forcefully remove the Incas from their power and take away their property. By doing this we found the strength and will to subjugate and oppress the indigenous people so they work for God our Lord under the Spanish crown. Being allowed by God our Lord, we could sustain this kingdom of many people and riches and make loyal serfs out of dignified men. I hope your Ma...

What's Wrong with the Germans?

I would like you to tell me what's wrong with the Germans? Have they experienced more than we have? Do they know more than we do? Do they understand the human psychic better than us? They must do, otherwise they wouldn't be able to make such wonderful master pieces. Is this the third wave of German cinema that is here to amuse us, make us think and make us cry? I've watched four German movies in the past few months: The Counterfeiters , Four Minutes , Now or Never and Rabbit Without Ears if you have the chance please watch them.

Quote

This post is not so much for you but for myself; I find it here a nice place to save thoughts and mark moods, a reflection of my personality and my ideology things that are constantly changing. Therefore, I save this quote that will come in handy one day: "Capitalism, it is said, is a system wherein man exploits man. And communism─is vice versa" From The End of Ideology by Daniel Bell

I Corinthians xiii (adapted)

I was reading George Orwell recently and here is what I found: An adaptation of the Corinthians replacing the word love for money. If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have no money, I become sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have no money, I am nothing. And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have no money, it profits me nothing. money suffers long, and is kind; money envies not; money vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not its own, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; rejoices not in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things... But now abides faith, hope, money, these three; and the greatest of these is money. Radio Zumbi, a radio do povo brasileiro na Nova Ze...

I found it in Ronaldo's blog

I'm a copycat so I've done the test myself, but I can not compare myself with Ronaldo , he is the blogger I one day would like to be. width="300" height="180" alt="What Kind of Blogger Are You?" border="0" /> Either this test is crooked or I wasn't very honest when I answered the question... perhaps both!

Google Documentary

I found out about this documentary in class, it tlaks a lot about what goes on behind the scenes of one of the most famous corporations of our time. It may take a while for you to load it, but worth watching it. I got it from archive.org it runs for about 46 minutes. loop: false, initialScale: 'fit', videoFile: 'http://www.archive.org/download/Google-Documentary_GameHacked.com/GoogleDocumentary-GameHacked.flv', }"/> I am not too sure why the embeded version is not working, so here is the link that will take you to that video: Google Documentary Radio Zumbi, a radio do povo brasileiro na Nova Zelandia.

Prison Inmates in The Philippines

Eu fui pra minha aula de Technoculture na faculdade hoje e o meu professor mostrou varias coisas, mais eu so vou colocar duas das coisas que achei mais interesantes: A primeira e um video de um grupo de prisioneiros dancando Thriller, e muito legal! Eu apos ter visto este clipe me pergunto si o Juiz reduziu a sentenca do bailarino principal apos ter visto ele dancando. Eu acredito que sim! O segundo e o link de um blog que mostra uma realidade muito diferente do que acontece no Iraque comparado com o que vemos na TV hoje em dia, vale a pena dar uma ohlada.

Most Expensive Beef

Pois e galera; Eu decidi achar videos de coisas interesantes na internet e postar aqui pra voces, e pra quem me conhece pessoalmente sabe que eu sou un grande fa da cultura japonesa e achei este video aqui impresionante. Pra quem ainda nao consegue entender o forte sutaque da Inglaterra este video aqui tem legenda em portugues. Eu fiquei sabendo que os japoneses davam cerveja pras vacas e comentei isto pro meu tio Jordao, e a resposta dele foi esta: "com esse preco por kilo de carne, voce pode dar whiskey pras vacas". Cabe lembrar que nao toda a carne custa tanto no Japao, a carne importada e bem mais barata. Radio Zumbi, a radio do povo brasileiro na Nova Zelandia. Saturdays 8:40 104.6 Planet FM

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra

I think I have been misunderstanding the meaning of blogging maybe because of my background in journalism I have been trying to make it very formal, but from now on bugger it! I will just be myself. I will post things that I think are quite interesting and I will try to introduce things to my Brazilian and Kiwi audience... about different cultures Any way today I went to a liquor store to buy some wine and came across this guy (James Clark) that works in the arts student centre at the University of Auckland, and after having some sort of formal greetings I went around the shop searching for a cheap but nevertheless fine bottle of wine, but while I was searching I got really distracted by this fantastic music, so after choosing an $11.50 bottle of wine I approached James Clark and ask him, what is this that you are listening to? And he replies "Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra". And I think to myself, the world is full of good stuff... all you need to do is ask! Here you go: Rad...
