Accepted by the University of Iceland

Finally I got acceptance letter. I was really excited and happy, but then I realized that acceptance was the easiest part. the hardest part is collecting all the documents for residence permit and then waiting for an answer. I might just get refused for permit. So I'm not so much excited anymore ))
But trying to stay positive anyway

Religion

This is not just about my country, I guess it's the same all around the world, but honestly, I haven't personally seen such a thing in other countries. Even while living in a monastery, in Italy.
I haven't got anything against religion, but I really don't like very religious people. Here is how it is in my country: people like asking questions about your religion and judge you accordingly. Like if you don't go to church often enough or don't pray every day or don't cross yourself every time you see a church, you're not such a good person, or you're a bad person. God forbid you say that you're not christian or worse - atheist. Then you're really worse than a murderer. How is a christian murderer than an atheist/non christian good guy - no one can tell, but that's how it is.
Also if you say that you are not a christian, they always ask your nationality. Like someone from here can't be a 'godless' person.
Most of the people don't even actually know what they believe in. I mean they are christians, sure, but what exactly does the bible say? What does christianity really mean? Why so many dogmas? they can't really say. They just believe blindly, or understand bible just as they want.
"You're a woman, therefore you're not allowed to wear pants. God hates ladies with pants!"
I don't remember Jesus wearing pants, either, does that mean man can't wear pants too?
"You can't have sex before you're married, God said that you can't!! Unless of course you're a guy, then it ok, because no one can tell the difference anyway."
Such a sexist religion. And violent as well. Religion has caused wars and murders and all the bad stuff. And they still try to convince us that it's about peace and love. Sure it is, what else could be a demonstration of love than killing people because of religion? And doesn't matter that God said "don't judge".
That's why I don't like religions and hate fanatic religious people.
Ou and sorry I made accent mostly about christianity, I just know that religion better, but don't worry, other religions are pretty much the same.

What to do when you're cheated on?

I was just a child (probably 7 or 8) when I first heard grown ups discussing something about cheating. I immediately decided that if a husband cheats on you, you should cheat back. That seemed very fair to me. Grown ups made me shut up right away. Why? Because if a man cheats it's ok, but if a woman cheats, she's a whore. So she should just give her husband an evil eye and that's it, they should go on being "a family". Oh and no divorce of course.
In my country most people still believe that men are superior. Men are allowed to have sex before marriage, while women should stay virgins until they get married (even if that happens when they're 40).
Not being able to have sex with your crush makes you desire him/her even more right? So that causes early marriages. Then they have kids right away (as I said in one of the previous posts). By the time they have a baby they have already satisfied their sexual needs and are not interested in each other anymore. A guy goes cheating (with whores mostly and sadly) while girl stays home taking care of the kid, because girl can't cheat right? And no divorce of course, they have a kid, how can they divorce. And that seems normal to most of the people, because it is believed that men want sex more than women.
Another thing is that with all the virginity and stuff men should be able to make the best sexual partners out of their wives right? No! You can't use your wife as a sex toy, you love her! Whores are made to be sex toys.
Sadly also girls who are not married and aren't virgins (or are divorced) are called whores too and many believe that they have to have sex with anyone who asks, because they're whores.
But back to the main topic - what is a woman supposed to do when she's cheated on? I still say - cheat back! If you don't stand for yourself, no one else will.

University of Iceland

I applied for fall semester at UI this January. I really wanna get masters degree. The thing is that they don't like to give you answers or if they do answer, it's wrong and you have to check it again and ask additional questions.
Their web site says that foreigners get their acceptance letter in March, the person I asked told me that the answer would be at the end of May. Now the problem is that Directorate of Immigration takes like 3 moths to review the documents, then you also need to get all the documents ready and that takes time, documents also take time to reach Iceland so if my calculations are correct I'll get the residence by October (that is if I get accepted) and the semester starts in August or September. Then I can't just fly to Iceland the next day right? I need to quit the job, get tickets, get ready and stuff like that so I'll finally get there at half the semester.
I told that to person I was in contact with at UI. She didn't even bother to answer.
I wonder if someone actually knows what they're doing there

Another child was killed by hunger

Few days ago a 1 year old child died from hunger in my country. Parents were unemployed and couldn't afford to feed their children well. We don't get unemployment benefits in my country, there are only benefits for extremely poor families and even that is very little. This family applied for those benefits lots of times and all of the times government rejected them.
Now that the poor child is dead, government blames the parents. Ok, parents are guilty for not thinking that if they can't afford condoms, there is no way they can afford another baby. But I also don't see the government giving a fuck to any of those problems. I've seen those benefits going to the families where everyone is working, or to those who have some 'friends' in the ministries.
Everyone knows that the government gives some finances to the church (not just some but 3 millions). I don't see church doing anything useful with that money. What I see are bunch of priests in expensive cars, holding very expensive phones, carrying golden crosses and golden chains and being very fat. They might say that they use the money to build churches, as if that could do a miracle and feed the poor itself.
I know that the church has bunch of businesses, free from taxes. Their product costs more than ordinary products. And the same church tells me that they care about people? Well I see everyone around cares a lot about freeing people's souls from their bodies.
An average of 300 children (age 0-5) die every year because of lack of necessary nutrition. We don't even know about those cases, no one talks about that, no one cares probably.
Out country is a third world country. Our government tries to convince everyone else that we're next to first world. Sometimes we, people living in the capital, forget about it as we're surrounded by rich people. Sometimes we just think, that everything is ok, it's just our family that is poor, and most of our relatives too, but it's just probably us.
I feel sick and ashamed for myself, my government, the church in which most of people here believe.

Child abuse

I live in a country where child abuse is still a big issue.
I guess the main reason is that having children is like an obbligation in most of the families. If you don't get pregnant in first few months (1-3) of marriage people get suspicious that you're infertile (of course the woman is the one who's infertile, man is always fertile) and the husband's family doesn't like you or respect you. I'm talking about most of the cases, of course, it doesn't apply to all.
So woman take responsability of having children too early and they imagine it mostly like a game I guess and have no idea at all what it means to raise a child. They imagine it's most about feeding and taking them to school and in case if they missbehave - yelling or beating, of course. Most of people think it's normal, but hey, they've been raised like that themselves.
Now the bigger issue here is that the society doesn't take responsability. It's mostly like: "Her family, her problems". This goes on even after the story, when a woman killed her own son beating him with a piece of wood few years back. Everyone knew she was beating him up every day but said nothing. And when the kid died they felt no responsability for it at all.
You can see parent like that even in the streets. Yelling at their children something like 'I hate you' or 'You're a bad son' or hitting them.
I just can't resist watching that so yesterday when I saw another mother like that I told her that she should be ashamed and she should be sued and stuff. She just looked at me for a second, then ignored me and went on. I don't know who she is and where she lives and I can do nothing about it and the wors part is that no one who knows it all will do nothing. There were bunch of other people when I was talking to her. No one even cared that she was hitting and screaming at her kid and no one cared about his cries.

Who here is not an attention seeking whore?

People are talking about so called 'attention seeking whores' on the internet. I think think it's not about seeking attention, but how you seek attention.
You see, it is perfectly natural for people to try different ways to get some attention and approval from other members of society. The reason of not being so can be psychology disorder or something, just believe me, the cases are extremely rare. There is no 'I don't care what others say/think' so stop pretending you're different (there's also another thing in human psychology - people tend to be alike, but pretend/believe they are different).
Now, why are those so called 'attention seeking whores' different from normal people? It's the lever of desperateness that makes those people so annoying. The more someone is desperate, the more they try to get attention.
Being an annoying kind of attention seeking whore is normal with teenagers (they go through lots of changes, feel insicure and so on) so I can stand that (barely). But I really have problem with grown ups. It's really wrong of me to judge someone when I know well, that everything has it's own reason. But hey, I'm a human.
