Europe is NOT a country!
It's so funny when my American friends think and talk about Europe as a single country so I take the stand to make a friendly reminder here...
Europe has 48 countries and about half of them only part of the European Union. All those countries have different governments, different leaders, different laws, different language and many of them still have different currency as well.
European Union has nothing to do the concept of Soviet Union, United States or United Kingdom. When something happens in Europe you see or read in the news please notice the country and see that it's not about whole Europe and be able to make that distinction.

I don't believe in God
I don't believe in God in a Christian way, that there is a male gender all mighty man-like creature sitting up in the sky, pre-written our fate in life, that is called "Divine Plan" and placed conditions in order to give us happiness, expecting us to worship and kiss ass to receive a forever and ever place in some made up thing, called Heaven. Or that a man 2000 years ago was tortured and killed for our sins to get us off the hook. In short, I am not a "Jesus-freak" or someone who thanks some made up creature (Jesus) for good things, and blames some made up creature (Satan) for bad things.
Instead I do believe that there is a power which is part of everything and everyone, still can be called God, or Universe, or Allah, whatever you feel closer, but it is definitely not a person-like creature. Definitely not with a gender. It's energy, around us, with us, within us and in everything without conditions, without limits.
I have been in USA many years now, have lived in many states, many cities, met many different people and have been in all kind of different situations. All that helped me learn and go on to the better. I like to think that I am better than I was ten years ago, a year ago, or yesterday. I like to think that I am learning something new every day and I can apply that to my life. Read many books to learn from so I can create my own opinion on things, instead of blindly following a sheep-bell or what "other people" think or decide.
By personal experience, Christians are NOTHING better and in most cases MUCH WORSE than Buddhists, Muslims, Witches, Druids or Atheists.
Things can change from one minute to another, nothing is constant, but I know this: whatever happened before in my life and whatever will happen next, the only one responsible for that, is me. Nothing and no one else to blame for it or thank for it.
"I care about people. I don't care about countries. I care about the future. I don't care about the past. I care about life on Earth. I don't care about living in the Sky."

10 million clicks for peace!
If you've ever wished you could do something about all the violence in the world but thought you were powerless, I just found something you've got to see.
Before you start thinking, "Oh yeah, another 'peacenik' site," let me tell you, this is VERY different. Notable people like Nobel Peace Prize winner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Jack Canfield, founder of Chicken Soup for the Soul books, and many celebrities and sports legends are behind this project.
What's really neat about this is that they've made it fun and easy. Anyone can help with just a few clicks of their mouse. And it all makes sense. We don't need to wait for international negotiations. We can create peace ourselves--right now--using the power of the Internet.
They're giving away this tool, the "Personal Peace Impact Meter." It shows you the positive difference you're making, along with simple steps to create more peace.
The great thing about this meter is that it also shows all the positive effects of the people you tell, and the people they tell, and so on. Soon thousands of people will be taking positive steps towards greater world peace, all because of a few simple steps I took.
After seeing what's been happening with international politics, I'm really glad we can finally do something to help create a more positive future.
By the way, these guys also give you what's got to be the world's largest personal growth and success course (at no cost or obligation). World-famous speakers and best-selling authors are working with them to make global peace a reality. Their idea makes sense...
Teach people all over the world how to become more personally peaceful, happier, and more successful, and violence will simply disappear, because countries filled with happy, peaceful people simply don't start wars or participate in violence.
They figured all this stuff out and got so many people to help in just 11 months. Great use of the Internet!
Here's their site:
