Paralympics stories of courage: the parallel silent victories

Stories and News No. 901 Today in Brazil the 15th edition of the Summer Paralympic Games is going to start. Paralympics , the parallel Olympics. As if, right side of the supposed high road, another one is really flowing. Somehow lacking something... The most important thing is to take part, everyone remind often. For many that means to win, for others absolutely not to lose, because a tie never really hurt anyone. Perhaps the main thing is not any of those. Let’s think about that. Really, let’s ask ourselves the question, then. Why have we come here? Why did we go out of our lives to come and see the other run and fight, facing the limitations of his own nature? Why, at the end of the story, do we rise up and launch our palms against each other, with growing fervor? Why, in some way, do we feel to have won with her? Why do we suffer for his victory? Why do we feel what they have tried? Why, to be completely honest, did we forget that this was the real reason to ...

The average ranting citizen’s beam

Stories and News No. 873 The front page news have variable and constant occurrences. Among the latter you never fail to read about terrorism and immigrants. Above all, what is really omnipresent is the impetuous protest of the irritated average citizen... On the road. Two men meet. Or collide, the choice is yours. A moment after the unexpected crossing of existences, one of them says: "Did you see the dirt here around? It's a shame." "In fact, though..." "It's normal, with all these illegal people who have no respect for our city. You know that there is a squatter camp right here? But this time in the upcoming elections I’ll give my vote to him, so we’ll finally kick them off." "Perfect, but..." "Of course, you’re right, that is not the whole problem. Do we want to talk about carefully? " "All right, if maybe..." "Let's talk, then. There is no room for everyone, here, no work for us, let alon...

Family Day 2016 in Italy Rome: why homosexuals should not win?

Stories and News No. 836 Tomorrow, Saturday Jan. 30, in Rome there will be the Family Day manifestation. I remember when Silvio Berlusconi was there… it was funny. Maybe, even after an ocean of scandals, he will join the cause. Anyway, I want still give my contribution to the war against the foul, rainbow dressed enemy… Why homosexuals should not win? ( Read to the end... ) * Because homosexuals already have the right to live together, and are eligible for membership of most local authorities. Parliament, however, has to deal mainly with the administration of a vast nation, the maintenance of the Army and Navy, and with questions of peace and war, which lie outside the legitimate sphere of homosexuals ' influence. Because all government rests ultimately on force, to which homosexuals , owing to physical, moral and social reasons, are not capable of contributing. Because there is little doubt that the vast majority of homosexuals have no desire for the wedding...

Diversity stories for kids: our planet

Stories and News No. 833 A new planet was discovered on the end of the solar system... Once upon a time there was her . Or he . Call them , too. Call them what you like, so this is granted and, rarely, actually blamed. Because it happens again, again, and again. Call us , this time. With the eyes that look farther, necessarily. Think about it, really. Who could look at the very antipodes of today better than those who bet on that mirage their present time, their souls and the last wishes? The good news is that we give up, once and for all. The war is over, because the enemy is gone. Civilian casualties will finish the count of their own. And an empty space will widen on the spewing press. Just a few seconds, all right, because while the trendy goat dies, you will quickly find another one to crucify. Nevertheless, it does not concern us anymore. So, good luck to the next. Indeed, take everything. The earth is yours. What you screamed like yours, and also the one that...

Diversity stories: victims of the day after

Stories and News No. 817 Once upon a time there were attacks . Terrorism and massacres . Once upon a time there were assassins , or whatever you prefer to call them. Justifying fear and hatred, needs, interests and everything you will tell not even your mother. And then there are them . You see, you have to look at them, the victims . Especially those that must necessarily be seen. Until night falls. It may happen tomorrow, the next time, the following one and in the end it comes. The day after . The time of the others . The new victims, so different, almost invisible to the naked eye, without time and humanity. So, randomly, there are victims because they resembled the bad guys . And the victims because we were looking for the bad guys , but… anyway, we found them . There are survived victims to the vengeance of the day after the other massacre. Because no, we had not forgotten at all of them. There are the victims of peace given by war to restore peace where war ha...

Gender equality stories: the perfect school

Stories and News No. 805 Once upon a time there was the perfect school. It was perfect because had banished once and for all any trace of “gender confusion”. In the perfect school there was the perfect principal. So, in the perfect school with the perfect principal - no room for modesty, they had decided to hire him, the perfect teacher. That is, this was his dream, and after a heated succession of talks he was chosen among many. Eager to be such. Perfect. After receiving a formal good luck by the perfect principal, the perfect teacher came into the perfect class of the perfect school. The perfect class, at first glance, appeared to be as many more. The desks, the little chairs, the blackboard and the teaching post. And then they were there. The fragile incomplete creatures, but grown and well selected to be perfect. "Teacher," a girl child said after the man had just finished to present himself. "Can you tell us a story?" "Gladly," he said...

Proof aliens exist in space of the red dwarf

Stories and News No. 800 I'm not a star and I never desired that. Despite sometimes I give bursts of light too. I'm an alien. I know well and when I forget, there is always someone around the corner. Ready to make me remember. I care about it. I care about to say it. The whole universe bless the red dwarfs . I mean the stars, of course. Even if I do not slight at all the modest height and red hair ladies. I care about it. I care about to say that too. However, it is for one of those giant stars that I am here today, to affect the white of the page. Anyway, you might call her dwarf, but we are ever talking about a star, not a nobodies asteroid, full of self-importance. I care about it. I care about to recall that everything is relative, even for the dwarfs. Because there is always someone dwarfer than you, once the quark told the atom . Nevertheless, I forgot the fundamentals: the essential clarifying introduction. The red dwarf is the star which today new...

Diversity stories: marriages and adoptions

Stories and News No. 798 Once upon a time there were two friends. Indeed, it begins so: there are two friends . But it is not a joke. One of them meets the other, who is reading the newspaper. "What are you doing?" "I read." "What are you reading?" "The news on the discussion about same-sex marriages ..." "I see, gay adoptions ." "No, not at all, I said same-sex marriages , you know? Those forms of cohabitation between two people of the same... " "Yes, I understand, you're talking about gay adoptions ." "It’s not true, when you hear that? I said same-sex marriages, forms of cohabitation linked by bonds of affection..." "Yes, of course, gay adoptions." "I did not say gay adoptions," the man screams. "I repeat, I said - by spelling – same-sex marriages ..." "Of course, gay adoptions ." "Are you deaf or what?" His friend almost yells, victi...

Gay priest Krzysztof Charamsa: the future coming out

Stories and News No. 795 Commenting on the debated revelation by Monsignor Charamsa on his sexual orientation, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Michael Cunningham argues that " the Church should apologize to the world ." How many more excuses will be asked, and not only from the church. Until we will hear yet another special kind of “coming out”… I confess. I am not better than the others. Not better than myself and all the fake representations, well-formed or approximately cobbled together because of the rush, that I have sold, given, lent, imposed to you. At worst, left behind as crumbs to casually pick up. I have got a lot of vices, let this be known right away, where you intend to go beyond the reassuring line of mere knowledge. I do not think about sins as many as I make them. And I never make them as many as I will think about them during the following instant. Now. Even now it is happening. Because that’s how it works - I will never be tired of repe...

Gender Theory Conspiracy and Alien Invasion: the true story

Stories and News No. 788 I read that in my country many fables are spreading about the alleged danger of the so-called Gender Theory . Nothing but fables. Here is the true story... The Gender Theory Conspiracy exists. Just as there are the Evil Aliens Invasion . And it is scary, my friends. The best science fiction’s storytellers were nothing but extraordinary clairvoyants disguised as lies pushers . The extraterrestrials exist and are scary because they are pervaded by an unspeakable and immeasurable cruelty. If only compared with a peaceful and tolerant species like us. The monsters come from the Gender planet, so far nothing new, and they are called Genderians or just Genders . Indeed, I prefer Genderins , because they are small and treacherous. However, despite the small size, do not be fooled. The invasion plan of Genderins is ruthless and ingenious. They thought well, these terrible beings: where could we go to bother these guys? Where we can do more damage an...
