Post 8: My opinion about some things

What is your opinion about Chilean politicians?

I hear all the time people saying that Chilean politicians are the worst, that they are corrupt and they steal our money by the taxes and they change the law in their own benefit. I think that they are not the thieves and bad people we say they are; I think they are just a normal Chilean person. It’s in our way of life to think about how best to earn more by giving less, or the little changes of the law that we do every day. For example the parent that prints in his office the books that his child needs for school, just for saving a little money taking advantage of the free cost of the office printer. The only difference between the normal Chilean people and the politicians is that they do it in a much bigger scale. 

What is your opinion about women in the military?

I am tired of the sexist topics like: Can women do this or that? It is time to change our way of thinking and start to leave behind all of this discrimination that makes no sense. Personally, this year I managed to understand a lot more about how we (men) have the sexist thinking in our normal life, and especially how this affects women, and this needs to stop. I’m absolutely certain that women can be in the military and can do everything that the men do, because the differences we have are just biological and do not affect our way of life.

What is your opinion about buying instead of adopting pets?

When we are talking about buying pets, I say it is very unnecessary and it shows that people who do that are not interested really in having a pet, they are more into having a beautiful pet or a breed pet, just for showing off. Also I think that there are a lot of people who has pets that can’t keep in their homes, so they publish pictures of them and ask for someone who is looking for a pet to adopt them.

What is your opinion about immigration?

I’d definitely say that immigration it’s a very good thing, because it mixes cultures and makes the city look more alive, it doesn’t matter where they come from. The same way Chilean people that treat badly the immigrants, it’s how European people treat us, the south Americans, I’m sure of this because I have lived in Europe and they are just as bad as a lot of Chilean people. Discrimination exists all around the world and we have to stop this.
