En complément des cigares :
Voici donc, d'abord le site bouddhiste de Sanchi, datant du 3ème siècle avant JC pour ses éléments les plus anciens :
Puis les grottes Jaïn et Hindoues de Udaygiri perdues dans la campagne indiennes :
Le musée ethnologique de Bhopal, gigantesque (je n'en ai vu que le quart environ) superbement réalisé et magnifique. Chaque tribu a reconstruit son habitat elle-même avec ses propres techniques. On y trouve donc des éléments allant de la Birmanie au Pakistan et du Sri Lanka au Népal.
La section des instruments de musique, pour les fan d'organologie.
I never publish on my Facebook wall photos of my SO NICE country of origin, testimonies of the perversity of the SO BAD ennemies of my country of origin, extracts of papers pointing how vicious are the ENNEMIES of my country of origin, sentences of the SACRED book of my BELOVED FAITH (MHNBF).
Why ? For two main reasons.
First, this would rightly be perceived as a symptom of nationalism. Nationalism is the seed of wars and the life jacket of weak identities. I believe in the oppposite of nationalism. I thus prefer to write papers about all the nice things I discover abroad that can enrich and complete my corpus of values than to spill my blog pouring a disgusting and pitiful propaganda.
Second, a strong man never shows his muscles. A person showing permanently his muscles, is either aggressive, either permanently under siege. IMHO persons behaving as in my first paragraph are relevant of one of these two situations. I am not aggressive, and I feel very confident about my values and those carried by my country of origin. So I don't feel under siege. Spending ones time defending against (imaginary) attacks is a proof of weakness. The strong never shows his muscles. There is no need. If anybody directly attacks anything in my corpus of values, I question the sources, the reasoning and I even might easily admit that he/she is right. This would in any case weaken my opinion on my country of origin, my values. It would give me the opportunity to adjust them and to thus strengthen them. Because nothing is perfect and no country is perfect, and no values are really universal in their entirety. And even if I want to be sure of them, I have to permanently question them with the possibility that they might be wrong. Otherwise it would be simply blind superstition.
It is a fact that some countries are "better" than others. This depend on the point of view obviously, but let's say as far as freedom, standard of living, etc are concerned. It is of course difficult for persons originating from such countries to permanently hear more criticism than compliments, specially if they origin such a country but live in a "better" country. This could be a good reason for such a feeling of being "under siege". Unfortunately facts are facts and denying them will not solve anything. As well attitudes as described in my first paragraph will proove themselves counter-productive, all the readers being very quickly tired by texts ranging from denegation of reality to false excuses, through false accusations aiming at absolving oneself from his/her responsibilities as a citizen. This of course does not excuse the easy critics of individuals never having spent a minute to understand the deep problems of such countries.
Problems in such countries are first coped with at the level of the problematics themselves, by the countries governement (with more or less success and honnesty) and by NGO (with more or less dedication and interests). This is the obvious way, although not easy.
They can also be addressed at the level of the human. This is not commonly done and few organisations focus on this aspect. Working on humans instead of working on the problematics is interesting. Despite not solving initially any problem, and thus seeming useless, I have experienced that changing the mind of persons help them quickly change their context and solve the problems.
So please, let all of us spend sometime thinking about that and change our attitude and avoid what is described in the beginning of this paper. Stopping weeping, we will become strong. Feeling strong, we will start changing things.
puisque c'est en fin de compte bien la seule chose dont il s'agit.
De deux choses l'une, soit l'on considère que la filiation doit être réservée à des couples de personnes de sexes différents et on le dit sans se cacher derrière tout et n'importe quoi. Il conviendrait aussi, dans ce cas et pour plus de clarté, si l'on est partisan d'interdire tout autre forme de filiation.
Soit ce sont les aspects techniques (beaucoup) et culturels (un peu) qui font peur.
Pour moi la filiaition sociale est un fait. Mes enfants me disent que si ils découvraient que je ne suis pas leur père biologique, cela ne changerait pas grand chose. En revanche l'association de la filiaition sociale à la filiation biologique est une aberration sur le plan pratique. Déjà dans un couple "ordianaire", rien ne prouve que l'enfant soit du père social et on se garde bien de le vérifier. Cà ne choque personne. La GPA choque, mais fort bizarrement la PPA (pénétration pour autrui) ne choque personne.
Arrêtons les tartufferies et laissons les gens se débrouiller, ils ont oublié d'être cons et savent trouver des solutions à leur problèmes. Au passage, cela permettrait de diminuer l'influence des lobbys médicaux qui en font tout un business assez opaque (critère de sélection des donneurs et des receveuses notamment) et proche de l'eugénisme.
Si un enfant doit hériter de trois personnes, eh bien cela se gère. Les impôts par tête de pipe et pas par foyer, cela se gère. Les hommes ayant plusieurs femmes à charge, cela se gère. Les femmes vivant avec plusieurs hommes et femmes cela se gère. C'est de la technique administrative et c'est aux moyens de se mettre en place en face de la situation et pas l'inverse.
Et arrêtons de mettre notre nez dans la vie des autres, on n'est ni au au Vatican, ni à l'Université Al Azhar.
