Why Don't You Shower With A Pokemon

2011 Pray for Peace in Côte d'Ivoire



AFRICA / COTE D 'IVOIRE - 173 people killed and 471 taken from December 16 to 21 according to the UN
Abidjan (Agenzia Fides) - "We expect that the ICC will send a mission to Ivory Coast to establish the liability of each other and that all responsible in one way or another are transferred to The Hague. " It's call Guillaume Soro, Prime Minister Alassane Ouattara's government as part of an interview with a French newspaper.
There is thus a new attempt by the clan Ouattara internationalization of the Ivorian crisis, due to the refusal of the outgoing President Laurent Gbagbo to recognize Ouattara's victory in the second round of presidential elections on 28 November.
Soro also asked the United Nations, the European Union, the African Union and ECOWAS (Economic Community and Development of West African States) the use of force. A solution that is viewed with concern, however, insofar as the Ivorian armed forces, which have been strengthened in recent years have sided with Gbagbo. Ouattara's supporters also complain that their opponents have recourse to paramilitary militias, recruited especially in neighboring countries, especially in Liberia, who have rendered themselves militias responsible for killings and kidnappings of civilians.
According to Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights of the UN, Kyung-Wha Kang, 173 people were killed and 471 arrested in Ivory Coast between 16 and 21 December. During the same period were reported 90 cases of torture and disappearances of 24 persons. Kyung-Wha Kang, has released such data in the presence of 47 members of the Council for Human Rights UN meeting in Geneva in special session to discuss the Ivory Coast.

My Wife And I Shower Together

Brother and abroad


Brother and abroad
Liberty, equality fraternity. This motto, after struggles and hopes of the revolution of 1789, is recorded in gold letters on the frontispiece of our public buildings. It shows three requirements of living together that can not be separated. The nobility of the political task is to give them the body in the grayness of everyday life and in the midst of changing circumstances. We are fortunate to enjoy personal freedom and constitutional democracy in an organized. The "private", so beloved and battered in our society, needs the protection of "public" for the enjoyment of personal space. When governments no longer protect the fundamental freedoms is the scope of personal existence and mutual relations which narrows dramatically. Moreover, equality - Diverse and not standardized - between men and women, between races, between poor and wealthy, is never given at the outset, it displaces each of the positions he has held since it can only be built step by step in order equal opportunities for everyone. (1)
In a famous text The socius and the next (History and Truth, 1955), Paul Ricoeur beautifully analysis aspect of strangeness that characterizes our relations with others far away, the vis-à-vis and one I 'm close. It does this by commenting on the parable of the Good Samaritan. The point of this parable, he says, is that the event This makes the encounter a person to person. "The two men who flout are defined by their social class: the priest, the Levite." They themselves are a living parable "of man in social function, man absorbed in his role, and that social function held at the point of making it unavailable to the surprise of an encounter". The institution they belong to one and the other "blocks" access to the event. The Samaritan is here the category of aliens who are traveling brother, who is not bothered by his role. It is available and travelers to enter the unexpectedness of the encounter. By his compassion for the wounded lying on the roadside, it "is an act beyond the role, character, function."
Fraternity does not just happen in urban societies multicolored where anonymity is the rule. But yet it is this which limits the expansionism of ego, the super powerful and the acrimony of the rich. It is the lifeblood of the social body and gives it warmth. It can not exclude anyone from its horizon and its scope. The fear of the other should not be exacerbated and exploited because it ultimately undermines the foundation for ensuring security for all.
Speaking of these three values, John Paul II has been said during his first visit to France: "Basically, these are Christian ideas." Before him, in 1963, John XXIII in his encyclical Pacem in Terris, (No. 275), noted, using the range of legal: "We will ensure that the predominance given to individuals or groups No installs in the nation privileged positions, in addition, the desire to safeguard the rights of all should not determine a policy which, by a singular contradiction, or would excessively reduce not the full exercise of those rights. "
These openings from the Christian movement and the republican ideal come through a turbulent zone with the stigmatization of Roma facing pressure from public opinion which is traditionally low favorable, as all know who are familiar with these issues. But to blame a whole ethnic group that is playing with fire. A controversy surprises with parliamentarians and EU Commission in Brussels followed. The foreign press is not kind to our country from this momentary return to postures that are sovereignists thought vanished. Roma, these strange foreigners, have become European citizens with the latest EU enlargements. It is by partnering with our partners we can marry freedom, equality and brotherhood to advance the treatment of a difficult problem for all and whose roots go far back in history.

Cold Sore On Forehead

you it advance democracy in Africa?


The Afro -pessimistic see in the current Ivorian crisis further evidence of the failure of Africa to accept democracy. However, the proliferation of free elections in several African countries suggests that people have already taken the road.
Democracy Is not Africa? News Elections in Côte d'Ivoire revives those scenarios in which tumultuous elections often come to an end on the Dark Continent: defeated the incumbent president is trying to extend his term through an electoral hold-up. While the Independent National Commission (INEC), supported by all international observers have declared the loser after a consultation postponed six times in five years, Laurent Gbagbo refuses to bow to the dismay of the international community who requests him to her apron. The candidate of the ruling Ivorian Popular Front (FPI) declared the winner by the State Council headed by one of his relatives was even sworn in on Saturday afternoon, shortly after appointing a new prime minister. For his part, away from the presidential palace, his opponent, Alassane Ouattara, appointed champion of the competition by Ceni has done the same, so that for the same country, we now has two presidents and two prime ministers.

Laurent Gbagbo appears to have chosen to walk in the footsteps of Robert Mugabe and Kenya's Mwai Kibaki. In 2008, the first, ostracized by the international community, which overwhelmed his country of sanctions had largely lost the first round of the presidential election. But "Comrade Bob" had decided to stay in place, boosting multifaceted crises that shook his country already. A similar scenario had sanctioned the presidential election was held in Kenya in late December 2007, where all post-election polls gave the outgoing president, Mwai Kibaki defeated. In Harare such as Nairobi, the leavers had waged a war of attrition with no thank you to their respective rivals, Morgan Tsvangirai and Raila Odinga, against a background of social crisis. They had finally agreed to deal with them in a unity government in the name of social peace.

Benin and Mali precursors respect the verdict of the polls

Laurent Gbagbo will succeed as he peers from Zimbabwe and Kenya to quell the desire for alternation of its citizens? Examples of the three men in any case give grist to the Afro-pessimists who, as was once said former President French President Jacques Chirac, believe that "democracy is a luxury for Africa." However, the efficiency of the democratic game is mixed on the continent. The number of countries formerly governed by authoritarian who settle permanently in the process of alternating characteristic of the great democracies continues to grow. What is not without a major feeding hope.

Consider the case of Benin, formerly known as "sick child of Africa" because of repeated coups. In two decades, countries in West Africa is in its fourth election Presidential whose characters just and democratic have been recognized by all. Three successive presidents since there are in power in an atmosphere of respect for democratic rules significantly. The first to comply with this law of free choice of leader by the people was Kerekou, became head of state for the first time through a coup in 1972. In 1991, following a national conference which had forced him, a year earlier, her freedom-loving people, he acknowledged his defeat in the presidential election, and resigned his seat in stride Nicephore Soglo the opponent. Returned in opposition Kerekou was elected democratically five years later, in 1996, the people who sanctioned the management of Nicephore Soglo. In 2001, Kerekou prevailed again, in an election validated by the international community. Four years ago, Kerekou and Soglo have agreed not to solicit the votes of their fellow citizens. The first was prevented by the restriction to two terms as head of state, while the second, older than 70 years, could no longer candidates. Two constitutional provisions that they have scrupulously respected, paving the way for the election of Boni Yayi, the current head of state. To show that there is life after the honors of the palace, Nicephore Soglo even became mayor of Cotonou, the capital, a position he held since 2002. The same scenario

alternation characterizes the devolution of power to neighboring Mali since the overthrow of the dictator in violence Moussa Traore in 1991. After managing the transition and organized a national conference as he had promised, Army Gen. Amadou Toumani Toure (ATT) merely preside over the transition. After the elections General 1992, he transferred power to a civilian, Alpha Oumar Konare. And if ATT is since 2002 President of his country, he became so by the ballot box, after leaving the army and won two consecutive elections. He recently announced he will not be present, the Basic Law Malian limiting to two the number of presidential term.

In Ghana, democracy also seems to take root permanently. This English-speaking country has yet had its sequence of coups. It is through this that the former President Jerry Rawlings took power. However, it has undertaken reforms modernization recognized by the international community and has voluntarily left his office. Since then, it is the Ghanaian voters choose their president, as they did for the winner of the presidential election last year, John Atta-Mils. Recently, U.S. President, Barack Obama, praised the strength of democracy in this country.

Reality increasingly continental

Three other recent examples confirm this trend towards recognition of the legitimacy of the vote as a means of achieving power. Five years ago, Liberia, English-speaking country devastated by a long war Civil elected Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf to the presidency and made it the first female head of state in Africa. Further east, Botswana, the succession of heads of state is in a very serene atmosphere. So that, without attempting to evict the Bushmen from their ancestral lands of the Kalahari Desert by former President Festus Mogae during his last term which ended in 2008, relatively prosperous country but little media would not have appeared in newspapers used to broadcast the bad news from Africa. Finally, despite protests that marred the election, Guinea that plight of the long dictatorship of President Lansana Conte was able to choose a leader through the ballot box, after two years of military transition chaotic.

It is therefore not inevitable. Even if she trudges to and fro and knowledge of resistance, democracy gets a foothold on the African continent. That may be the sense of history: the great democracies of today had their period of doubt, instability and regression. Only through struggle and sacrifices that people have acquired the right to choose those they wish to preside their destinies. Rene

list of tax havens (continued)

Tax havens still powerful
A report by the Catholic Committee against Hunger and for development that we purchased, the fight against tax havens has remained virtually a dead letter since the crisis.


At the request of the major industrialized countries, the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) announced in April the "black list" of countries that do not meet international standards taxation. Four criteria define this non-cooperation: insignificant or nonexistent taxes, a tax system opaque, benevolence towards shell companies that allow the repatriation of capital, and lack of trade with other states. This decision came after a G20 meeting in London which had threatened to take sanctions against tax havens, called "black holes" of finance. Gradually, some countries are trying to show their goodwill. Countries are fairly opaque in a list grise.Les Bahamas and Panama, said that BNP Paribas will leave, in part. As for good students, they are entitled to the whitelist. Switzerland is the latest country to the left to join the greylist whitelist. The Swiss confederation, known for its secrecy around money marked the opening of the G20 summit in Pittsburgh last Thursday, signing its twelfth convention. However, secrecy is not lifted completely, because the Swiss citizens will decide on the text by referendum or vote. Nothing should come into force before 2011. Whitelist (states or territories that have implemented international standards by signing at least 12 agreements conform to these standards) Argentina, Australia, Barbados, Canada, China, Cyprus, Republic Czech, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland Island mans Italy, Japan, Jersey, Korea, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Seychelles, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UAE, UK, USA, Virgin Islands, Switzerland (who left the gray list since September 24) , Austria, Monaco, Belgium, Bahrain, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Aruba, Netherlands Antilles, Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, San Marino, Grey List: states or territories that have committed to meet international standards but that does not really apply Andorra, Anguilla Antigua, Barbados, Bahamas, Belize, Cook Islands, Dominica, Gibraltar, Grenada, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Marshall Islands, Montserrat, Nauru, Niue, Panama St Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, Turks and Caicos Islands, Vanuatu, Brunei, Chile, Guatemala, Singapore.

Human rights in Senegal


organizations of civil society denounce violations by Senegal the UN Convention on the Rights of Migrant Workers


November 23, 2010 (Dakar) - During the consideration of the report of Senegal by the Committee on Migrant Workers of United Nations on 24 and 25 November 2010, the Senegalese non-governmental organizations and international present an alternative report detailing the Senegalese government's responsibility for abuses committed against migrant workers.

The report presents the political, legal and security surrounding the treatment of migrant workers, such as hardening of European migration policies and the outsourcing of European borders, criminalization of immigration and the establishment of a and repressive security policy framework, the significant increase in the use of detention and deportation, and lack of transparency and consultation in the development migration policies in place in Senegal. These recent developments have resulted in serious violations of migrant workers' rights detailed in the report, violations of the right to life, discrimination, abuse, sexual abuse, arbitrary detention, collective expulsion and arbitrary separation of families, arbitrary deprivation of property private law violations to an effective remedy, the right to leave any country, the right to privacy, etc..

organizations of civil society stressed the responsibility that is Senegal for violations against migrant workers Senegal, those in transit through the country, those who try to migrate by sea or by the North African desert, and against workers of Senegalese migrants living abroad. Indeed, the undersigned organizations believe that the Senegalese government can be held partly responsible for violations committed outside of Senegal in particular because of its collaboration with European migration policies that are inconsistent with the provisions of the Convention on Migrant Workers.

The alternative report makes a series of recommendations calling on Senegal to comply fully with the Convention on Migrant Workers. Notably, the undersigned organizations call upon the Government of Senegal and other African governments to refuse to cooperate with European countries in their policies for managing migration flows that generate human rights violations and criminalizing migrants. The organizations are urging all States to stop adopting government policies leading to the violation of rights of migrant workers and their families and thus call for universal ratification of the Convention on Migrant Workers and respect for all the regional instruments and international human rights. This information

is important to communicate it is reliable and shows that human rights are violated everywhere and we must respond and denounce these practices by supporting organizations that impact near the government Sr. Eliane

to see the pink
the horizon is too thick
likely to pierce the full
as he is hiding hope, Waiting ...
As a child watching the star
As winter is like a hollow

candle burns like fire embers
becomes like a day as overnight.
and moreover it is sufficient to
dawn one morning

always white for the print of his presence as a trace

on this little book filled
escapes my fingers crossed for

In infinite thanks ...

ABOUT No. III: Explain and discuss the following


INTRODUCTION
One way of doing acceptable and at the same time partially rebuttable like many others of which we are still learning our excercer and choose without achieve perfect.

According to our understanding subjective and relative, in this excerpt is taken from the first of his Meditations , the author, the French philosopher Rene Descartes questioned the three-way relationship between sources of knowledge: the cultural and social environment, philosophy and science. The initial question which meets the text could be reformulated as: is it possible to base knowledge and particularly scientific knowledge Secure, which he could always get consistently solid truths that resist to various attacks that can pass a rational and practical building and if so under what conditions? It is therefore a reflection of an epistemological nature . The author's thesis is that science is conceivable and feasible provided that the author or its sponsors completely get rid of all their teachings and all of their previous convictions for starts over the counter in search of the truth of things supposedly knowable by man. In other words must first be a philosopher before becoming a scientist. can still repeat as : philosophy as put brackets failing to suppress all knowledge constituted, is the mother of all true science that begins with the The thesis of Descartes is So the next Means a perfect science or a science, so trustworthy that is born of a radical philosophical critique of all of our inheritance in the various places of our education. examination of the meaning and the theoretical and practical value of the thesis of Descartes go through the conceptual analysis of some fundamental concepts such as those of "firmness" and "perseverance" and purification or liberation of consciousness that sound in the word 'discard', but also the notion of truth which is the crucial issue of all knowledge. What the security and firmness of the science or what signs to recognize that science as a source of truth? Can we do away with all our cultural heritage in the field of knowledge in the field of religious beliefs or philosophical, in the areas affected, especially if we accept the thesis example of Freud or Spinoza who believe there is always foggy and chains in the conscience who believes he finally purified of any contingency? an empire or a particular taking of the thesis of historical materialism and dialectics of Karl Marx be wondering: what would be left of consciousness or the same reason and the notion of truth if we are robbed of our history? Can we think without previously formulated idea in the head by nature or by man?

Penny Boat Lab Answers.

Let us not undermine the right of foreigners


Do Let's not undermine the right of foreigners
For the fifth time in seven years, the government wants to reform the regime of entry and expulsion of foreigners in France. This new change in law is another step in the weakening of men, women, children and families already severely shaken by the difficulties of exile.
Yet, they are human beings. Some are fleeing war or inhuman treatment to save their lives.
Others simply seek to improve their situation and that of their families. They long as we live together in peace, to find happiness at work, in France, their "host".
But the bill would spell the end of the aspirations of many and, hence, our hospitality and our humanity by reducing their rights to justice, family life and solidarity

If ignored, foreigners will no longer have the right to be heard!
Until then, the law called for control by the courts if they are detained exceeded two days before the expulsion. This safeguard, essential to address the arbitrariness of the administration, is delayed by this bill: and expulsions are possible only for five days on administrative decision.
Moreover, the judicial court will no longer sanction certain irregularities.


If ignored, the right of asylum will be hindered! This bill restricts the possibilities of access to the territory to seek asylum and place a larger number of potential applicants under unfavorable conditions for the examination of their application for protection.
And if they are unsuccessful and returned, he forbade them to return to the European Union for their lives.

If ignored, the right to family life will be limited! The spouses of French nationals or aliens lawfully, even with children in France sometimes without residency. The law may already disrupt their family life will toughen the conditions for their separation by rejecting any possibility of return. Indeed, any alien returned may be "banned" from the European Union
Jusqu'_à 5 years: we reject this double trouble!


If ignored, solidarity remain wrong!
By changing the law, the project would appease the critics said about the offense of "solidarity". By changing only marginally exemption for such an offense, the bill continues to help deter anyone, in good faith and over time, a stranger whom no one knows a priori if it is irregular administrative situation.

It is contradictory to maintain the principle of brotherhood in the currency of the Republic and to punish acts of solidarity motivated by solidarity and defense of the weakest, including foreign
in partnership with other members of society calendar, our organizations, movements, associations and Christians refuse service that measures more restrictive or arbitrary propel thousands of men and women in poverty and despair. We therefore consider it necessary to raise awareness, call for vigilance and information on this bill that contains provisions very disturbing.

ill-gotten gains

Dear Friends Dear friends


I can not resist the pleasure to inform you that the complaint against three African leaders at the level of ill-gotten gain been deemed admissible at the French court.

I leave it - below the press release of Transparency International:

"ill-gotten gains" means the Supreme Court agrees to accept the complaint of TI France
The Court of Cassation overturned the ruling just last one year by the Court of Appeal of Paris ruled admissible the complaint filed by TI France in the case known as "ill-gotten gains."

This complaint concerned the circumstances in which a very important real estate and furniture was purchased in France by the Heads of State of Congo - Brazzaville, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea and members of their entourage.

Transparency International France and SHERPA greet a landmark decision that will allow the appointment of a judge and opening a judicial inquiry.


The appointment of a judge should determine under what conditions the assets in question was acquired and those in which numerous bank accounts identified by the police were fed. This information should also help shed light on the role played by the various intermediaries who could facilitate the transactions issue. One thinks especially of banks identified in the preliminary hearing which is questionable compliance with their obligations under anti-money laundering.

Restitution of stolen assets

Without prejudging the outcome of the proceedings, and Transparency International France SHERPA expect the statement that it contributes to the manifestation of the truth and that eventually it leads to the development effective implementation of restitution - specifically enshrined in the UN Convention against Corruption, ratified by France in 2005.

Lawsuit associations

This decision constitutes a significant legal step that goes beyond the matter of ill-gotten gains. For the first time in France, the lawsuit of an association to fight against corruption on behalf of the interests it has set itself the subject of defense is deemed admissible. This decision, consistent with the whole evolution of positive law on collective action associations, and should allow the future to overcome the inertia of the floors in certain sensitive political and financial affairs.

Download the press release dated November 9, 2010: http://www.transparence-france.org/ewb_pages/p/pcpc-Transparence-International.php

Where Do You Get Good Longboards In Canadaimages

Edith Stein asserts that "The philosophy is the truth the widest possible and most certain." what do you think?

TOPIC: What do you think of this statement of Edith Stein: , "The philosophy is the truth the widest possible and most certain."?
INTRODUCTION
Moved by Mr. Gnana Samba

A theory or "truth" can be said "broader" than another when it contains the latter. Thus, for "larger truth" we can understand the truth that contains the greatest number of smaller truths she and why it is a general truth or incorporating their content. The size or extent the truth or a truth may also include or be determined by the number of natural or cultural phenomena that may explain this truth objectively or subjectively to understand. In this sense we can argue that philosophy seeks to achieve "the greatest truth, that is to say the truth which would help to understand the oneness in the diversity of human cultures, individual differences in within families of things and objects or living things that it studies, such as "the greatest truth," or gasoline or the nature of the man who performs imperfectly, partially, and differently in men that are specific historical peoples and individuals within these isolated peoples. Because, for philosophy, the nature of the thing, or the "thing itself" also called "thing itself" is what contains the intelligible world of ideas, all the historical aspects possible and never fully achieved this nature. In other words again, philosophy seeks a cause or a finite number of causes to explain a historical fact whose appearances are endless. To achieve this "truth the wider 'lives forever beyond mortal things that are imperfect in the sensible world, a place that sense can not reach, the philosophy is mobilizing its research officer preferred, namely the Because she believes to be done to return to the ultimate truth if it relies on its natural principles that shape his logic. Thus, it produces a formal truth evident particularly in the formal logic of Aristotle, in which the truth comes out of a set of logical relationships between the necessary concepts and proposals. This choice of the form of truth which also provides the theoretical foundation for philosophical truth is quite firm and it is this form of truth which allows to say that truth is a philosophical truth "definite" in its genesis or its production. But is it enough to speak without contradiction in the speech to ensure that the contradiction between thought and practice? If the report of the speech with itself is trustworthy, can we deduce the relationship between rhetoric and what he deals in history? Other hand, if science has inherited the cult of transparency and rigorous training in concepts and demonstration, and that besides the formal truth it produces, it comes into conflict with the facts to see if his thoughts captures and neutralizes or not, may we not say that science is the most certain knowledge among those who pursue the general laws that govern the observable by the senses and others that are beyond the power and vigilance of the senses? Religion and faith can not they also claim to be paths that lead through the revelation to the highest truths and safer than man can hope to achieve during his stay on earth?
It will be for us to show in what cases the definition of Edith Stein is right and what condition we are entitled to relativize the truth of this proposal.

Bolzano / Philosophy and Mathematical


Bernard Placidus Johann Nepomuk Bolzano ( 5 October 1781 - December 18 1848) is a mathematician, logician, philosopher, bohemian German theologian, son of an Italian immigrant to Prague .

Bolzano For what is purely a priori is the concept and only him. Purely a priori knowledge are those qi proceed purely by concepts, that is to say primarily mathematics and philosophy, science discourse one Both. Kant believed that mathematical proceed by construction of concepts in intuition when philosophy it purely discursive is knowledge by concepts. Bolzano argues that mathematical philosophy and method have same and differ only in their subject . mathematics are also knowledge through concepts, whose intuition at the meaning of Bolzano, is excluded .. The identity of method is the search for reasons and consequences , the establishment day of the objective truths connection . This identity is so strong that sometimes Bolzano considers mathematics as a "branch of philosophy and way of thinking just practice," sometimes defines philosophy as a Reflection on and in every science, and on mathematics in particular. All science involves an element of philosophy, which consists both seek the reasons and consequences to reflect on this link . The difference between mathematics and philosophy that is only the first, to the fullest Generally, science is a priori forms of objects "possible" and when the latter seeks to deduce a priori the existence of "real" object like the freedom of individuals God or the immortality of the soul. By "forms , Bolzano means general laws governing necessarily the conditions of possibility of any object. The mathematical answer to the question: "what properties necessarily belong to the things that must be possible? " Science a priori forms of possible objects, a priori science laws" everything in general can be the object of our faculty representation , 'mathematics is a kind of formal ontology, as noted by Husserl.

PHILOSOPHY: Philosophy and wisdom



So I begin, as you ask, by telling you the difference between philosophy and wisdom. Wisdom is the good of the human spirit to perfection. Philosophy is the taste and the search of Wisdom. The first view shows that reaches the second. The origin of the term philosophy is obvious. The name itself indicates. Some have defined wisdom "knowledge of things divine and human" . Other " Wisdom is knowing things divine and human, and their causes . This addition seems unnecessary, because the causes of things human and divine part of divine things. Similarly, the philosophy has been defined in various ways by very different philosophers. Some said it was the taste of virtue, others a taste of inner progress. Some said it was looking for the right reason. On one point there is roughly in agreement: there is a some difference between philosophy and wisdom. For it is impossible that there is identity between what is research and what research. Similarly there is a big difference between greed and money, the first seeking the second, well, there is a difference between wisdom and philosophy. Because it is the effect and the reward of another. One path, the other is the goal.

Religious Freedom




November 4, 2010 " struggle for religious freedom everywhere "by P. Fontaine




Vicar General of the Mission of France, Father Dominique Fontaine defends religious freedom, following the fatal attack in the Syrian Catholic church in Baghdad October 31, 2010.

The massacre of women and children during Sunday Mass October 31 in the Church of Our Lady of Baghdad horrified us all, as the horrifying attacks that are ongoing and involve blindly Iraqi Muslims in the streets and markets.
Pope John Paul II had done everything to avoid war in Iraq that has unleashed passions and created the current insecurity in the country.
Support Iraqi Christians, listen to their calls, is more than ever a duty for Christians but for all, to defend the plurality necessary for life and the future of every country in this globalized world. Muslim leaders in France and elsewhere say it clear in their condemnation the massacre.
In October, at the Synod of Bishops on the Middle East, all the Catholic bishops of the region were met with Pope Benedict XVI. They recalled the imperative of "religious freedom, including freedom of religion and freedom of conscience." This is particularly urgent in countries where Islam is the state religion, but also in all countries, including Europe.
The film "Men and Gods" has revealed the profound solidarity experienced by Christians in Algeria with their Muslim neighbors. There is also recalled that the imams were massacred by the Islamist extremists. In France, this film has touched many Muslims and many secular or agnostic. Can he become a source and a strong call for joint action for religious freedom in France, North Africa, Middle East and around the world.

Bicycle Shaped Baking Pan

Saint Thomas Aquinas and Edmund Husserl / natural reason and reason supernatural belief and knowledge. Franz Brentano

Neither Thomas nor
Husserl never doubted the power of the ration . It was celebrated as the top of Husserl to have spotted the skepticism in its modern forms and have vigorously fought. But "ratio" has never meant anything to him that natural reason, while Thomas distinguishes here between natural reason and supernatural ... because Phenomenology proceed as though, in principle, our reason was unlimited. She admits that the task of reason is infinite, that science is an endless process, but the reason it does not less oriented in a straight toward his goal line, id is the full truth, as an idea which prescribes the regulatory direction. From the perspective of philosophy, no other path is taken into account. Thomas also believes that this is the way of natural reason : it is infinite, but that means it never ends, you can never even approach the goal step by step . This explains the fragmentary nature of any human philosophy. And now pierces his big "but" he never would admit that such is the only way of knowledge, that truth is nothing more than an idea that they are carried out in an endless process, never fully. The full truth is ; there is a knowledge that embraces the whole, not an infinite process, but full completion. It is the divine knowledge ... It can connect to other minds something of its fullness, and forward to them actually, to each according to his ability. This communication can take place in various ways. Natural knowledge is only one way. She has definite limits Clear and precise. But all that is inaccessible to our mind is not originally at the rate structure. We pérégrinons time on earth. But one day we'll be at goal in the heavenly homeland. Achieved this goal in mind embraces everything that is available (not all the depths of divine wisdom that only God understands), and he sees all in a single intuition. In part, he now has the vision, he had a revelation during his earthly life, provided it was necessary not to lose, he has received in faith, which is during the earthly pilgrimage, a second path, next to natural knowledge, to achieve the Know ... The extent of our knowledge is possible during our pilgrimage on earth is fixed and we can not push the envelope. Is well established that this is the reason and what is of faith. In principle, a matter of faith which is exempt from our earthly knowledge. But many things are revealed to us when they are accessible by way of knowledge, but accessible only to a small number and to a lesser degree of certainty.
Such considerations are wholly alien to the philosophy modern.

Birthday Rap For 17 Year Old Guy

Saying no to euthanasia

The 14 good reasons to say no to euthanasia BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535278041128589010 "/> This year, information is spread: 94% of French people support euthanasia and ADMD - another chestnut - " calls for a debate. " We would, therefore, that 6% to refuse that man can commit suicide legally, technically, medically. Membership would be "massive", opponents almost nonexistent, almost insignificant. It's sad but it is obviously insufficient to change their beliefs.
I will not repeat here my views, fully developed in my previous posts, but we must reiterate that we should not simply resign themselves to punish the alleged indignity of a Man by death, that France has reached a compromise legislation (see paragraph 12) largely ignored the French, including carers and there is no need to open this new debate, called by the ultras of euthanasia.


That my fourteen good reasons to oppose euthanasia. 1. A company does not break the ban on killing without consequences. This prohibition fundamental, common to all civilizations, all cultures, can not be development without delay, mechanically, further the limits of transgression.
2. No Man is never unworthy. Faced with certain purposes in life, you may sometimes be convinced but a principle is never easy to hold. Any action on the end of life should be based on this principle and not on this concession outrageous and would literally deleterious society accepting that some lives are unworthy to the point that only death would come and restore dignity. We admire Mother Teresa: she cared for the lepers, she did not finished.
3. It does not ensure the dignity of a man giving death. We must ensure dignity in vieet not by death. The alleged right to die with dignité1, we must oppose the right to live in dignity. There is no conceivable alternative to be alongside those who struggle every day to ensure the dignity of a dying person, rather than those who, by far, advocating the injection.
4. Euthanasia is a collective resignation. It is the ultimate option of a society that has abandoned the ambition to be a corporation, a community that takes care of its own, a society that has abandoned the ambition to ensure the dignity of his dying. For euthanasia, it tends to erase, to delete the problem, it does not address.
5. Euthanasia is the choice of a materialistic society, selfish and individualistic, not accepting the weakness and fragility. She cultivates youth, beauty, celebration, the body. Disability horrifies him: it is eliminated or removed. Death terrifies? It is hidden, it is hastened.
6. You take a risk in accepting an application for death: that it means something else. We all shudder at the idea that we can execute an innocent man and it is mobilizing against it regularly. We should also shudder at the idea: euthanize someone who did not really wanted. Suffer and see his body or his mind disintegrate: how not wish this to stop? But what do we want to see an end: the suffering and feelings of worthlessness or life? 2 All our efforts and all our collective ambition should be to the annihilation of suffering and the assurance of dignity. It sets itself ambitious goals in many areas, and we achieved that seem unrealistic, why do we go down the arm here?
7. The choice is illusory. Ask a real choice suppose there is an alternative, we know about its existence and that this alternative is effective. As written by Axel Kahn, a former chairman of CCNE3, "reintroduce the dimension of free will required to reinstate the parameters of a life not only bearable, but desirable. " Who really knows palliative care? Which has ensured that palliative care become a reality? It is also unfair to suggest that we can now anticipate our control right now so specific and unpredictable that will be our death, what we think today will not really feel that day . Should he risk life while we have wanted to die, or die while we wanted to live?
8. Death is a time to live. Marie de Hennezel, a pioneer of palliative care in France illustrates the Death fully intimate with the death of John, the death of Marcelle, that of Marie-France, and this "ciao" with one hand. If death stinks maybe even more than it tells, though it can sometimes be a cry of pain and loneliness, it is unlikely for some this passage in which the dying begins in peace. As foolish as it may seem, we must allow time to die. Death should not be hastened.
9. Euthanasia is a choice of able-bodied for the dying. Trivially: policymakers are not paying. Emmanuel Hirsch, president of the Espace Ethique AP-HP, and ARSla, recalled One evening as people with ALS are not asking for death, but speech synthesizers. However, pronounced in these polls, if not in good health, anguished by death, terrified by the forfeiture and deeply convinced of the worthlessness of men dying? "Life May Be Worth Living in a locked-in syndrome" is the title of a European study that highlights that even in this extreme situation, patients still evoke a "quality of life." Really, can we judge, in absolute terms or face a concrete situation, the dignity of a state of life?
10. The request for death extreme minority. With Emmanuel Hirsch, Catherine Kiefer rappelaitqu'en 10 years of practice, she had been a request for euthanasia. There is also the oncologist (cancer specialist) who reports to Rue89 than 25 years of practice, she has not seen any request for euthanasia that lasts. Discussions artificially maintained and renewed by some parasitic reflection. Should we shake the foundations of our social life for rare cases, and can handle much?
11. Allow active euthanasia will kill the development of palliative care. Yet the only solution of a real dignity and honor of a company. This development is long pressed for practitioners (including Didier Sicard, former president of CCNE), but it takes a strong political and social will to develop the approach of palliative care. Palliative care in hospitals require time, personnel and money. Faced with the assurance of an end faster, relieving those who stay and also the public finances, euthanasia will he really fussy?
12. We have reached a "French way", largely ignored by the French, who still called for the establishment of a situation that already exists. Since the recent law LEONNET, 22 April 2005, one of the first articles of the Code of Public Health, Article L.1110-5, provides that medical procedures "shall not be prosecuted by an unreasonable obstinacy "and that" when they appear useless, disproportionate or having other effect than the mere continuation of artificial life, they may be suspended or not to be undertaken. " The same article provides that "in this case, the doctor saves the dignity of the dying and ensures the quality of his life in providing the care referred to in Article L. 1110-1110 "- that is to say palliative care - or that" health professionals implement all the means at their disposal to ensure everyone a decent life until death. " Even more explicitly, in Article L. 1111-10 Code of Public Health states that "when a person, in advanced or terminal phase of severe and incurable, whatever the cause, decides to limit or stop all treatment, the doctor respects the will after being informed of the consequences of his choice. " In this case, Section 1111-10 provides that "the doctor safeguard the dignity of the dying and ensures the quality of its end of life by providing the care referred to in Article L.1110-10," which "aims to relieve pain, ease the mental suffering, safeguard the dignity of the sick person and his entourage to support. " Under such treatment, as described in the guide "right of the sick and dying" 4, the doctor may administer a sedative, making the patient unconscious. The French do not know the law, partly for lack of political will. The French assert favor of a law on euthanasia, but exists! Do they know only those provisions? 56% of respondents say that euthanasia should be possible "in certain cases." When she innocently say should be reserved for "unbearable diseases [as opposed to cool diseases?] And incurable," do they know the article L.111-10, applicable to serious and incurable diseases? Of the various sites, commentators criticize the aggressive treatment. Do they know that this persecution is unanimously condemned, and clearly excluded by Article L.1110-5 of the Code of Public Health? Thus, the French, uninformed or misinformed, ignore what is in the law and are calling for what already exists.
13. We can not escape, France, the excesses of euthanasia. We can not escape this alleged compassion, a little too eager. We will not escape either to deviations from these countries that we said "ahead": the Netherlands, Belgium, but also Switzerland. Netherlands and Belgium, it is coming to the euthanasia of dementia, children, depression. In France, the drift of the ADMD is there before our eyes, and its purpose lies behind circumlocutions irenic. The right to die with dignity Twenty years ago it was a demand for palliative care. It has become a claim for death. ADMD and campaigning today for assisted suicide. Today, the law allows the patient who wants to die to stop his treatment and be administered sedation. Have we not reached a point of balance, or even a break?
14. The end of life is exploited by a manipulative, extremist organization. The end of life is over-simplified, reduced to the general public to a question of injection, neglecting the mystery and the unknown. The emblematic cases (cases and especially Tranois Humbert, Sébire or Salvat) are dramatically truncated because they are ultimately cons-demonstrative (cf. including analysed'Axel Kahn). Well understood, they illustrate the cruel excesses and deviations of euthanasia. The fact of being forced to use dishonest methods - despite polls so favorable - should sharpen the critical faculties of public opinion. In addition, while the law already enshrines the right to discontinue treatment and be administered sedation, the ADMD only stop when active euthanasia and assisted suicide (not in a condition) will be legalized. This is the meaning of the draft law proposed by him, to be discussed November 16, 2010 in favor of "actively assisted death". Passive euthanasia already exists, but the ADMD is that the physician directly administers the death. To achieve its purposes, the French ADMD ment, arguing tirelessly - as does Jean-Luc Romero still these days - it would still pass a law on euthanasia and open debate House, held on numerous occasions and has resulted OF a law whose assessment in 2008 led to the establishment of a parliamentary report.

About this survey is the testimony of Professor Régis Aubry

President of the Observatory on End of Life, and head of the palliative care unit at University Hospital of Besançon The doctor responds Régis Aubry:

"Like any survey, it has an interest - limited - and a risk: he can speak of the end of life, including euthanasia, which is an absolute necessity but it can not avoid a simplistic view of things. We ask people questions in binary terms on a highly complex subject. It is then allowed to wonder based on what their responses, their knowledge of issues, instead of their subjectivity, their fears. It is a vision of well-bearing. What answers would they have been interviewing key stakeholders? As president of the Observatory of the end of life, I see once again that the Leonetti law on end of life is still very little known by the French. It is our mission to make it better known by publishing regularly the state of research in this area. "

Peacemakers in Iraq




PRESS Pax Christi France


The Synod of Bishops for the Middle East has just ended. It is obviously for the Christians of the East a great breath of fresh air. Iraqi Christians in particular, who have suffered so much, could find a new indicator of hope. The fruits of course still require to be harvested. But in Iraq there was now justified in saying that future becomes possible on the basis of a respectful dialogue between religions and a clear recognition by all of the rights of everyone.

On this same land of Iraq a better seemed also occur for the population towards the institutional stability and social peace.

And here again is the test! The glimmers of hope and life that had appeared on the horizon are tarnished by violence and death. Pax Christi France, particularly concerned about the fate of his brothers in Iraq, wants to tell them that all the horror feel to the new terrorist who carried out once again cruelly affect Christians, not just Christians. We want express our heartfelt solidarity with the families of those killed in the "massacre" of the Cathedral of Baghdad and all those who today live in pain and anguish.

can not be silent when we kill with a total cynicism expectancy of men and women who have only one aspiration, to live in peace and harmony, their family and social life . We strongly disapprove of the new crime has been committed in Baghdad and we are asking all friends of peace and justice to denounce us. We thank Mr. Mohammed Moussaoui, President of the French Muslim Council and Mr. Dalil Boubaker, rector of the Great Mosque of Paris, having already made a clear commitment in this sense and have unequivocally condemned the perversion of Islam by extremist currents. Could we not pursue a joint discussion to address such disparities and advance in this troubled world dialogue, respect and fellowship.

Once again we turn to our politicians. They have the duty to act to consolidate the fragile foundations of peace and security in Iraq, benefiting not only Christians but also those who are threatened and hindered the progress harmonious in their daily lives. France is also now being targeted by violent forces. She especially the duty to act - responsibly - for those who have less than we can afford to defend.

Never throw in custody. The man continues to suffer because of man. So we have an overriding obligation to work with renewed determination to work for justice and peace.

If I Work In Ottawa And Live In Quebec

Edmund Husserl St. Thomas Aquinas


It is not always easy, from the mental universe of Edmund Husserl, break into that of St. Thomas. Husserl's relationship with Franz Brentano can perhaps establish some approximation. In his recollections of Brentano, Husserl himself has told how he had seduced the Brentano method, and how his approach to philosophical issues drew him to philosophy. With Brentano

he understood that philosophy could be something other than gossip distinguished; his teaching showed him that, while driving, philosophical reflection could meet highest scientific standards, which the Mathematical had used. Now, where did he get this Brentano rigor in the conduct of thought, which astonished and captivated as Husserl? Whence came this crystal clear in concept formation? Was not it a legacy of scholasticism.
Brentano had been educated at the school demanding the traditional Catholic philosophy, and had trained the mind to follow the method.
