John Doe in Nicaragua

I've posted my Johe Doe in Nicaragua question in my blog before, though I strangely can't find it in the archives quite some time later. So anyway, I posted the similar question again in Yahoo Answer, and I wonder what kinda answers i'll get.

You tell me..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Christians told me, you either go to heaven or to hell. They also say, if you don't believe in god, you dun go to heaven, even if u do a u-turn at pearly gates.

consider this scenario:

"John Doe is borned in Nicaragua. He lived and died there and all his life he led a simple farmer life and didn't commit much sins. He is a good man without religious beliefs. There are no religion in Nicaragua. No christians have ever been there, hence there's no way that he can believe in something or someone that he never ever know exist.

He died and this st peters at pearly gates said John Doe didn't believe in this god who owned heaven. Hence John Doe didn't go to heaven, so he prolly went to hell.

There are 5 million John Does in Nicaragua. All went to hell thereafter."

is that right?

A test of faith

Today is a sad day.

Today I made a withdrawal of $50 from the ATM. I then kept the card and walked off without taking the money.

Horrific Soccer Injury

Horrific Soccer Injury: The Evils of Name-branding.

29th April 2006, England's star striker Wayne Rooney broke his foot 6 weeks before the world cup. Many put the blame on the new Nike boots he was wearing.




7th May 2006, local soccer sensation Tohle suffered an injury of a similar magnitude. Experts question the use of the Nike soccer ball.


Observe the seams of the ball carefully. Notice the intricate pattern.


The injury: spot anything strikingly similar?


The full extent of the penetrating blow.

The scrupulous things that a company will do to establish its brand-name. Had the ball spinned a couple inches more to the left, what would have been left behind on the arm will be a large nike tick of approval instead of the innocent looking seams.

Nike sucks.

On a sidenote, I got hit by the ball following a thunderous shot from Malau. This is not an act of defensive bravery. This is the unfortunate result of failing to get away from the ball in time. Even professional soccer players know better.

To Kill A Mockingbird

Remember when you were young, and human.

Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, to say the least, is a wonderful read. A view of humanity through innocent eyes, seeing not, the artificial barrier of class and discrimination. She wrote with simple words on issues that transcended through time, almost a century on now, and yet still relevant.

Relevant like clothes that we wear. Saw my fren in his t-shirt of the punk-music-label Atticus, and below it, a picture of a bird lying down, feet up. Certainly looks like the Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird to me. I wonder how many punks wearing those shirts knows the underlying significance of what they wore.
