Guccini and me

Image
I have started to listen to Guccini 's songs many years ago. When I listened to his songs I was fourteen or fifteen years old and I made fun of my friends because they were eighteen: a Guccini's song ->6:32" said, " at eighteen you are really stupid / how many bales you have on your head at that age ". I did continue to listen to Guccini's songs and I continue to listen to them now, over forty years after. Yesterday while I was running, by chance, my playlist on my phone has played Il pensionato (the pensioner)... when I listened to this song for the first time in the 70' I was a boy and retirement was far away from my mind, but I have listened to it now and I am a pensioner! It is played like a very different song now! A song is composed by different elements and one of these elements is your ear! Maybe the ears that listen to this song are the same, but the brain between the ears age relentlessly and now the nineteen years of the age difference b

What was the question?

None asked me to express my opinion about J.K. Rowling and her controversy with a transsexual organization, so I risk saying a lot of nonsense, but I risk saying a lot of nonsense, in fact, I will definitely say a lot of bullshit (obviously I did want to use the word "bullshit" since I saw on Netflix my first TV series in the original language). I think that J.K. Rowling was right. I think humans are born male and female, and they become men and women. Of course, there is no single type of man and woman, there are many kinds of men and women, many ways to be men and women, many ways of expressing their own sexuality and everyone has the right to express it how they prefer. However, many women have suffered harassment from men and, you know, even they have the right to feel safe and that's all I have to say about that . Needless to say, I am a white heterosexual male and never I had not suffered discrimination, so I am not sure about what I am talking). When a man ch

I saw in the promotional spot of a Tv show that the population of the USA is 5% of the world population, but the prison population of the USA is 25% of the world prison population! Of course, it is not important the source because here is important how I write what I write. I do not care to have comments on the topics or my ideas, I would care to have suggestions on my English syntax, I would like help with using one verb instead of another or on avoiding a certain word. My simple text is the mirror of my simple thoughts and they are not really important: I spend much time reading newspapers online, post on social networks and I have the opportunity to improve my reasoning my approach to the world, but I write here because I hope to find a little help to improve how I write in English. However, the situation of the prison world and the justice of the USA seems frightening to me. what do the numbers suggest?

Thirty years ago in Tiananmen square

Thirty years ago in Tiananmen Square , the Chinese Government had to order a massacre to stop the students' protest. The situation in China did not change for normal people, but in Hong Kong , it has even worsened. I guess that you have friends in the political-administrative machine you are free to become a billionaire, but if you want to criticize the government or the local administrations you are less free, much less free. I know that I think trivial thoughts, but I need to think in a simple way if I want to write about them in English. Writing in a different language is a nice way to think before opening the mouth or press on the keys. I hope that the previous sentence makes sense in English. Do this thing could avoid many hate speech on the internet, it could do decrease the entropy of the universe and, in my opinion, the greater part of universal entropy depends on the mental disorders of humankind. I like to think that a good day (for the universe) a great asteroid will
