Philosophie à l’Africaine in French

This is so delightful that I just have to post it, 

even though it's in French 

and the translation is mine ;)

 

Thanks  Annik for sending me this ^^^
Merci Annik pour m'avoir envoyé cela^^^

If you don’t know where you are going, know at least from whence you come

If you don’t know, you will know,

But if you don’t know that you don’t know you will never know

And, when you know, share!

Never bend down to look into the backside of somebody

Because then someone will bend down also behind you to look into yours

If you speak to someone and he doesn’t listen, shut up. Listen to him.

And perhaps by listening to him you will know why he doesn’t listen to you

If someone tells you that he is capable to swallow a whole coconut

Leave him be ...It’s that he has complete trust in his anus.

Women are exactly like coffee....First it excites, afterwards it irritates.

And men? They are like melons:....You have to touch up several before finding the good one

Don’t be bon (good) twice, once is enough

Because if you are good (bon) once you are good and it’s good

But if you are bon (good) twice you become a bonbon and you will be sucked.

Happy the one who knows  the comfort of well-being and who continues to be delighted by it.

Happy also the one who continues to lead a peaceful life in total ignorance.

All humans are the same:

White, black, red, yellow, rich, poor, believers, atheists

In each one of us there is a little spot that smells badly

------------------------------------------------------

Il ne sert à rien de se battre,

Il faut mieux convaincre que vaincre

Parceque celui qui est convaincu est d’office vancue

Alors que celui qui est vaincu n’est pas convaincu

French word game, not translatable - at least not by me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When God created, he created firstly the Wise, the humans and the idiots

He took the Wise and mixed them among the wise

Then the Wise among the humans

And then  the Wise among the idiots

Then he took the humans and mixed them up with the wise

Then the  humans with the humans

And then the humans with the idiots

Finally he took the idiots and mixed them in among the wise

Then the  idiots in among  the humans

And then  the idiots in among the idiots

It’s when the idiots find themselves among idiots

And they decide to take a decision

That the catastrophe hits

In times when there were 2 or 3 idiots in a village

We extracted them from the village to send them to a sage

So that their re-education could be done

Afterwards we  put them back into the community

But today:

If one was to take out all the idiots

Some cities and villages would be emptied.

An idiot is an idiot

He never recognises that he is an idiot

For an idiot it’s always the other one who is the idiot

It’s his Neighbour who is the idiot

He? Never!

Luckily you will recognise him always by his head

Because he always has the head of an idiot

He never changes his head

If you go somewhere and hear the people exclaim:

Oh, the idiot is here again


He will spoil our day again

You can travel around the whole world to look for the idiot

But it’s not necessary to look for him else-where.

It’s not that there are more idiots this year than in the past

It’s simply that next year's  idiots are already among us.

And here the French transcription - again "home-made" ;)

Si tu ne sais pas ou tu vas, sache comme même d’où tu viens

Si tu sais que tu ne sais pas, tu sauras

Mais si tu ne sais pas que tu ne sais pas, Tu ne sauras jamais.

Et quand tu sais Fais le savoir

Ne te baisse jamais pour regarder dans le derrière de quelqu’un

Sinon quelqu’un se baissera aussi derrière toi pour regarder dans le tien.

Si tu parles a quelqu’un et qu’il ne t’écoute pas Tais-toi! Ecoute-le!

Peut-être en l’écoutant tu sauras pourquoi il ne t’écoutait pas.

Si quelqu’un te dit qu’il est capable d’avaler une noix de coco en entier

Laisse-le faire

C’est qu’il fait entièrement confiance à son anus.

Les femmes, c’est exactement comme le café

Au départ ca excite Apres ca énerve

Et les hommes? C’est comme des melons:

Il faut en avoir tâtée plusieurs pour tomber sur le bon.

Ne sois pas bon deux fois, une fois cela suffit

Parce que si tu es bon une fois, tu es bon et c’est bon

Mais quand tu es bon deux fois, tu deviens bonbon et on te suce

Bien heureux celui qui connait Et qui vit dans le confort du bien-être Et continue à s’en délecter

Bien heureux aussi celui-là qui continue a mener bien paisiblement sa vie

Dans l’ignorance totale du bien être et de son existence

Tous les êtres humains sont pareils

Blanc, noir, rouge, jaune, riche, pauvre, croyant, athée…

Il existe quelque part dans chacun de nous Un petit coin qui sent mauvais

Il ne sert à rien de se battre,

Il faut mieux convaincre que vaincre

Parce que celui qui est convaincu est d’office vaincu

Alors que celui qui est vaincu n’est pas convaincu

Quand dieu a créé, il a d’abord créé les sages, des humains et des cons

Il a pris les sages qu’il a mélangés parmi les sages,

Les sages parmi les humains

Et les sages parmi les cons

Il a ensuite pris les humains qu’il a mélangés parmi les sages

Les humains parmi les humains

Et les humains parmi les cons

Il a enfin pris les cons qu’il a mélangés parmi les sages

Les cons parmi les humains

Et les cons parmi les cons

Et c’est quand les cons se trouvent parmi les cons

Et que leur vient la décision de décider

Que c’est la catastrophe.

A l’époque quand il y avait 2 ou 3 cons dans un village

Afin de s’occuper de leur rééducation

C’est après qu’on les remettait dans la société.

Mais aujourd’hui:

S’il fallait sortir tous les cons

Certains villes et certains village se verraient vidés de tous les humaines

Un con c’est un con

Il ne reconnait jamais qu’il est con

Pour lui c’est toujours l’autre qui est con,

C’est son voisin qui est con

Lui, non!

Il est telle une bête qui refuse de se reconnaitre bête

Heureusement qu’on le reconnait toujours a sa tète

Parce qu’il a toujours la tète d’un con

Il ne change jamais de tête

Si vous allez quelque part et vous entendez les gens crier:

Oh le con il est encore parmi nous

Il va nous pourrir la journée

Si vous faite le tour de tout le monde pour repérer ce con,

Ce n’est pas la peine de le chercher plus loin

Ce n’est pas qu’il y a plus de cons cette année que les années dernières,

Mais c’est parce que les cons de l’année prochaine sont déjà parmi nous.

Mohamed Merah voted Socialist

6th May, 2012, evening of the French Presidential elections. Celebrations Place de la Bastille, here are some of the people who voted for the new President, Francois Hollande and are "celebrating" their victory. I dont know what is more frightening, the stupidity and ignorance of some of  those voters, or the fact that the hero for some of them seems to be Mohamed Merah.

Here is my approximate  translation of what I could understand from this video:

Caption:

On the 6th May, many TV viewers were surprised by that there were Palestinian flags floating on the Place de la Bastille:

What do these militants (at the Place de la Bastille, Paris) think about it?

“yes, why there are so many Palestinian flags…because we are globally in agreement that what is happening is not good:... Israel doesn’t respect the boarders of 47 ...

We react to the terrorist politics of Israel, and that is normal. Voila.

They (Israel) persecute the little Palestinians... like when they go to the mosques or schools they throw stones at them…you can see that on U-tube, there are videos

It’s Jerusalem against Palestine, isn’t it?

It’s the Jews against the Muslims, is that it?

I am for those who are in the ghetto, they are forced to dig tunnels to get basic food, frankly that’s inhuman...

There are many Jews here, and they are just not like the others….well they are racist, they kill little children…voila

The Jews have stolen a country (State)

A state for a religion is not legal for starters... A state that is based on a religion is already racist at the base.

(woman) : ...Presenting Israel as victim is a great lie, a great lie

The Jews, in (according to) their religion don’t have the right to a state.

(Interviewer): “Jews, do they have a right to a state (their own country)?”

"No!, Not according to their own religion, they only have to read their own books...

…(incomprehensible)….France and all occidental states have collaborated with Hitler

…incomprehensible….

..the explosions were commandeered by Israel to besmirch Islam, that’s without doubt it, in fact that’s sure…..because it’s rare…the persons who want to explode themselves as martyrs...

We’ll go to Israel to throw them out, kicking them out with our boots (black man simulates holding a pistol to his head) yes, kicking them out with our boots, or with any weapon .. If kicking them is not sufficient, we will go there with our weapons...

(Interviewer):  "Tu t'appelles comment? - Moi?..Mohamed Merah /
 “And what’s your name?”   .....“me?…Mohamed Merah.”

Election Night in France

And the winner is: What the "embedded" media will not tell you...

Tonight, the election for Francois Holland is celebrated as it should be. On one side of the coin you are shown the Young who carry placards “For a calm France”...

But, one does not show you the other side of the coin: French flags burnt at the Place du Capital, in Toulouse, where violent incidents have exploded.

One will not tell you that in the departments with the postcode 91, 92, 93 (Parisian suburbs), 77 and in Toulouse and Nanterre, dustbins are being set on fire and police are ordered not to intervene. You will not be informed that in Marseille a Molotov Cocktail has been thrown at the Commissariat of the 3e arrondissement.

Nor will you be told that in the 20eme Arrodissement of Paris, it’s urban warfare against the police, with several aggressions and mortar attacks against the guardians de l’ordre.

Tonight, over the whole of Paris,  police on patrol are insulted. The 93 burns and police are attacked with stones. In the 92 police are attacked with missiles. Some cities in the 93 burn and in Saint Denis stones are thrown at police.
On the Champs Elysees, boutiques are closing and the CRS arrive. So it begins…

Some “youth” attack the police verbally who cannot reply. Wild rodeos a little bit everywhere. (*)

==============================================================

(*) My translation above  is approximate. The original article by Dreuz.info is in the link. The numbers 91, 92, 93 etc. referred to are the so-called "sensitive suburbs" of Paris whose inhabitants are mainly of african/arab/muslim immigration back ground. Toulouse is, of course, the city in which Mohamed Merah massacred the French Soldiers and little jewish children in their school.

Update:

Since posting, the following pictures and paragraphs have been added to the original article:




La Bastille last night: not one French Flag

  On ne vous montre pas non plus les drapeaux algérien, palestiniens, Place de la Bastille. Je me demande ce qu’ils faisaient là, mais je sais que si quelqu’un les avait brûlé, il y aurait eu une guerre civile. /

One does not show you either the Algerian and Palestinian flags, Place de la Bastille. I ask myself what they were doing there, but I know that if someone would have burnt them, there would have been civil war.



One of the very few French Flags seen after the "victory" of the Left.
These voters  obviously dont like the laws of the Republique that forbids the wearing of the full face veil in public places
 as they stroll down the Champs Elysees, celebrating their victory (97% of Muslims voted for the Left) on election night.





Postcards from Australia

Now begin the lovely winterdays at my beach:

the ratio birds/people is reversing

I just LOVE it!

Birds, Beach and a little girl that reminded me sooooo much of   this other little girl...










Communication looks a tad feisty....



Was it about food?



Yes, it might have been about food

Happy 64th, Israel

"Will you still love me....when I'm 64?"...

...Of course we will ! 

Happy 64th Birthday Israel
 and may the best of the past be the worst that you can expect in the future!

Where are the Women?

Good question!

"I'm lucky I am in Australia" says the cute fellow at the end. I agree with him!

Lest We Forget

Today is Anzac Day  :

Poppies from a German Daughter

On Remembrance Day

I buy three red poppies:

One for the blood of my German father 

that reddened the ruins of Monte Cassino

One for the drops of sweat and youth 

left trailing on the Kokoda 

by my Australian husband

and 

One for the Unknown Soldier.

And then, lets not forget the present either....

A little postcard from Piaf's Paris

Okay, I give in: everyone seems to equate Paris with  Edith Piaf.  And although I feel  that, like Mozart's kleine Nachtmusik, her Vie en rose is overplayed  and I'm quite over it, who am I to not bring you a little piece of this parisian  blanc mange. ;)

Yes, I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack in  Dorothea Mackellar's...... 

                                                              ...sunburnt country,

                                                              that land of sweeping plains, 

                                                              of ragged mountain ranges, 

                                                              of droughts and flooding rains.....

Messrs Google,

I am aware that one never steps into the same river twice and that change is the prerequisite for survival, but I hate having it imposed upon me.  Why have you forced me into that confusing maze which you call your "new and improved" interface-I-dont-know-what. I am very irritated. It's not luddite-friendly whatsoever, and I have no idea what I am doing. 

As the man said, 'progress is okay except that it never bloody stops'! Hmmmpffff. 

The UN

Easters (plural)

HAPPY EASTER

HAPPY PASSOVER

And, should you be in Paris during orthodox Easter time, there is a lovely little Russian church near the mairie du 15e arrondissement  (council chambers of the 15th district). In its centre is a  living tree, around which the wooden church was built. But go to any of the russian orthodox church services here, if for nothing else but the the warmth,  the incense and, surtout THE MUSIC!.



Judeophobie is alive and well in France

“As it is now widely known, on March 19 at eight a.m., a man (Mohamed Merah) entered the Jewish school Hatora Ozar, in Toulouse, France. He killed a rabbi and his two children, then an eight year old little girl, by shooting her three times in the head after dragging her by the hair to place her in front of the camera he was carrying. These were the worst anti-Semitic acts committed on French soil for decades….”

writes  Guy Milliere, from the French site Dreuz.info in an  article which  I post here because it's in English and because the writer tells it as I see it. He concludes:

"The question is not whether there will be another anti-Semitic murder in France, but rather: when will it happen again."

Meanwhile in Algeria, the beatification of a monster continues ...

Incidentally, Mohamed Merah's remains were buried during a muslim ceremony in France, because Algeria refused to accept them "for security reasons".

I approve...
