Write for Rights 2013 - letters writing marathon

Hello, i would like to tell you about letters writing marathon. This is amnesty international action. Each of us can express their individual opposition to human rights violations. The idea of the marathon was born in Warsaw, a local group of Amnesty International in 2001 With time marathon became a worldwide action. This year, we are writing letters, sending SMS messages, taking action online and hosting and participating in a variety of exciting events to demand that the rights of individuals are upheld.  On the amnesty we have to choose 12 people / groups of people, we can choose one or several and help.

Do you always express your opinion?

I get the impression that some people here are "transparently". They always express the opinion of the majority, avoid controversy. I do not believe that you can type in the typical patterns for each case. If you are a minority voice, you express your opinion in public?

Why some people here are more popular then other? Some people here have a lot of followers. It's strange because most of this followers do not care about language exchange. Why people here want to make friends, instead of learning?

Drinking epilepsy Yesterday I had not really nice situation, After leaving the mall I went to the bus stop, when I heard a scream. I turned around and saw the man who was laying in the parking. He had convulsions and from his mouth came on an alcoholic liquid (next to him was the bottle) and blood. Lady with dog called the ambulance, and three men took a drunk to the safe place. It's probably stupid, but when this man lay i was thinking what I will do if he stop breathing. I gathered to vomit when I saw him, but I know that he is human and he deserve for first aid like everyone. I feel guilty now. Thats why I must buy a mask with mouthpiece to provide first aid. And what about a man? He got up and finished the drink before the ambulance arrived...

About polish song... Today I wanna review polish song "Ona tańczy dla mnie". Some people call this song "new Gangnam Style". This is disco polo. I found translated text into English : I adore her, she's here And dances for me 'Cause she knows it well, that I'll kidnap her And I'll hide her at the bottom of the heart Oooo My girlfriend often looks into my eyes And I don't hide it - it gives me a pleasure How I love her - only my heart knows When she kisses me, I would give back many a thing Her arms are relief for me 'Cause by her side I feel how tastes love I want to offer her ​​every moment, 'cause She's worth it, nothing has changed 'Cause I desire her, her, 'cause I desire her, her, 'cause... I adore her, she's here And dances for me 'Cause she knows it well, that I'll kidnap her And I'll hide her at the bottom of the heart Oooo About text: In my opinion this text objectifies women, i really don't like it. Author focuses only on the appearance of a woman. I know, it's disco polo, music for dance (and generally text is not important, shoud be just easy to remember) but this text is just stupid. Music: Really simple, i'm not expert, but i hear only four chords on piano and something like saxophone (i could make mistake). Vocal is bad. Not nice voice. Videoclip: Cheap! Everything is in club, maybe 10 people are there. Singer is not handsome. He is stocky. His glasses and earrings are awful. I hate his dance. Girls are just normal (not ugly, not compelling). Their dresses are a bit too short (I prefer tight dress to mid-thigh, I want to feel comfortable in the club). Camera still shows their hips. EVERYTHING IS BAD ! So why i talk about this song? Hmmm... This is fenomen, 44 milion views on youtube. Song was 17 on the list of most played on youtube. I think in Poland everyone heard this song. The worst part is that when you hear this song in the morning, then you can't forget about this song whole day.
