Ethics: the Help and its Best

How much appreciation should be demonstrated towards someone who works under another one’s decree? Plenty, I’d say. The Help Vs its Best I find it rather distasteful when someone mistreats and disrespects the help. People should never forget what servants do for them: clean their bathroom(s) [and God only knows, that when they are unfortunate enough to work for a total pig, what it all encompasses]; clean their mess [when they drink and spill it all over; when they regurgitate the contents of their stomach; when they step into the house/flat with their muddy shoes etc]; clean their house; wash their clothes and underwear [I say, everybody should wash their own underwear – for the moment, I’ll excuse myself from explaining why]; put up with their rude children; wash their car; take care of their garden; keep them company; secure their family etc…Servants organise the life of the people they work for; they witness their miseries; they make sure that their home is the place that they long...

Possible Things to Say...

It can't be easy being a parent. Before I commence, I'd like to pay my respects to all parents in the world: God bless you! I have always found it so cute when kids start saying what they want to be when they grow up (of course half of them end up by being something completely diverse of what they had initially planned): ballerina, fireman, police officer, doctor, singer etc. And parents always bear proud and shiny faces. However I wonder which look their countenance would bear, and what reaction they’d have, if their kids would convey their wish to be an undertaker, for example... But there is worse... Please allow me to share 4 unusual professional paths that kids could dream of pursuing; and the possible things their parents could tell them. I. “Mom, dad; I want to be a whore.” Possible reaction : oh sure, darling; if that is your dream job. Of course the family will support your decision...when you’re 60. Until then go to school, finish your education; get ...

Hookers and Strippers Legal and Moral?

Prostitution...what does this word mean? The oldest profession basically means "engaging in sex acts for hire" or more bluntly "exchanging sex for money" . When we speak of prostitution, we visualise women in utterly tasteless attires, soliciting somewhere in the streets; or we see women clad in designer garbs escorting highly successful business (yet unsuccessful in relationships) men. However there are other types of harlots: 1. The cocottes who date married men with the single purpose of obtaining presents; clothes, cars, have their household rent paid, etc. 2. The private bawds who legally unite themselves to rich men with the unique goal of satisfying their sexual needs in exchange for jewellery, fur on their backs, a fully loaded car, a phat [1] bank account, a luxurious home to dwell in, designer frocks & shoes etc... It could be argued that cocottes and private bawds are not prostitutes, but simply women who found an alternative way of life; however si...

Letter to America

Max Coutinho Av. Da República nº 9, 14º andar 1600-205 Lisboa Portugal Tel: 351 98 293 06 09 26th of October, 2008 Dear United States of America, It is with great joy that I pen down this missive to you, which I hope it finds you enjoying of good wealth health (please, do pardon my temporarily lack of sensibility; I am quite aware of the economic & financial constraints you are experiencing right now… and if there is something that I can do for you, and yours, please do not hesitate to request for our aid – times are harsh on everybody, but what are friends for?). I have been receiving news about the upcoming Presidential elections there: you must be tremendously excited about it! I also learned that for the very first time you are having a black candidate …oops; pardon my European nature once again; I meant Afro-American candidate (although I do not understand why you insist on designating Black people nés [1] in your country as Afro…darling, they are not African, they don’t e...

Graffiti is against Political Correctness

Political correctness is a self-imposed gag. Please allow me to explain: communist China came up with this “marvellous” concept (so that its regime and constant transgressions wouldn’t be openly critiqued) and the whole world adopted it; each individual swallowed it, self-imposing, thus, a gag. Political correctness is a carnival mask. People hide behind this mask (whose mouth is beautifully crafted and shut) in order not to say what they really think about “sensitive issues” and what they feel about certain situations. Picture a party: etiquette commands that 4 subjects are to be avoided (religion, politics, sports and sexual preferences) but there is always someone who breaks the rules and starts denying the holocaust, bashing gays, and saying that black people do not know how to govern themselves. Some of the present guest want to tell this person off; others want to agree with the individual and others want to see the circus set on fire; notwithstanding, under the flag of PC, every...
