If your gf/bf/significant other is cheating on you, should I tell you about it?

Please reply to that Title question on the forum but just to make it clear usually I go for the "Hear no evil, see no evil" motto...

And on with what's been going on over the last week.

Let's start with the June 10th Portugal Day and the now famous "arrastão" where a reported 500 kids robbed clean the Carcavelos beach. Turns out that they were not 500 but rather an estimated 80 black gettho kids, the kind that ask for money on the trains, wear Sacoor and Burburys shirts, have expensive moniles and are very tought when in packs. Hang on, gettho kids wearing expensive clothing? What's wrong with that, shouldn't they be saving the money to get out of the gettho? Yeah, it's a sad sad world sugga.

Anyways, it is one more nail on the Portuguese coffin that obviouslly has stirred up some nationalist movements thinggies with a manif schedule for tomorrow downtown Lisbon (though I suspect that is not to pay tribute to Alvaro Cunhal).

While I'm not racist, I do have to point out that race IS a big issue on this thing. Solution? Blow me, I'm not a politician...

...Although lately I have been thinking about a solution to the current state of crap that portuguese politics and consequently(sp?) Portugal is in. Let's do it like this:

- Abolish Democracy over night. Ok, well maybe not completly. Leave elections for President, is not like he does much anyways (minus some controversy here and there) but at least it looks good. And we can't have drooling-mouth D.Duarte as a king anyways....
- Set up Portugal as a corporate state where every resident has shares of the country. Portugal Inc. They can vote a Directors Board in a very similar way to a democratic society.
- Just as in a company, goverment employees all the way up to the 1st Minister (Or Portugal Corp CEO in my version) have very well defined goals, with quarterly timmings and bonus in case they reach the goals or exceed them considerably. Obviouslly, if they don't they get the boot, just like any of us poor slobs working in private companies.
- Anyone can sell their stocks of the company to another company, person or army. Therefore, there's no war anymore, only agressive takeovers. That way if I'm sick with the way Portugal is going I can just sell it (in the remote possibility that I find a buyer) to like, Spain, Vivid Adult Videos or Arab Emirates. Hey, I have nothing against transforming Portugal into a mega-modern city with all sort of luxuries Dubay-style.

Honestly, change is necessary in Portugal. This slacker style "pais de brandos costumes" has to end. We should start adopting the (positive) attitudes that help countries such as Israel, Ireland, Slovenia or even Spain to go from shit to proper countries (or on their way to...). No more slacking, let's get demanding, let's get motivated and let's blow this country off the roof ...in a positive way.


....And THEN rename it as Pabloland...
