User:Siúnrá

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greetings to all,

I am Siúnrá Ċóisean (Hebrew: שונרא חושן; Japanese: 星園　春良; Aramaic: ܫܘܢܪܐ ܚܘܫܢ). I was born on the 21st of July, 1991, according to the Gregorian calendar (the international one, not sure it's the correct one) and on the 9th of Av according to the Jewish calendar, in Tel-Aviv (currently residing in Israel, but not in Tel-Aviv). I love literature, both reading (my favourite poet is Natan Alterman) and writing (not just poetry, but also some prose and plays), and languages (I speak quite a few in varying levels, but I want to know more).

I am technically Jewish, but I don't like it. Judaism, as I've seen so far, is a fucked-up religion: obsessed with itself, xenophobic, unaccepting of the different (not necessarily Jewish), and has twisted morals. As such, I am not ashamed of being against circumcision (I, unfortunately, haven't been blessed to be born in a year when there was such an awareness of circumcision damages, even compared to today, in Israel. That is why I so strongly protest to infant circumcision).

I like Japanese culture and language (and, of course, anime), and Chinese culture and language as well. A while ago I also started getting a strong interest in Irish culture for unclear reasons (Wilde, Emma: Second Act, Irish music, adorable Colin from The Simpsons Movie; the Irish music players from the Israeli version of America's Got Talent--all these are possibilities, maybe all together), but I have yet to learn Irish history/culture nor the Irish language properly (basically, all I can say is 'Caol le caol, leathan le leathan'...), so if you can teach me it (I'd prefer it if you'd be Irish), make contact.

I'm an ex-commie and ex-Socialist, but I still have a warm place in my heart for them. I am willing to have interesting arguments about them.

I don't like people very much. I've learned throughout my life to see people are basically a rotten lot. But minimal contact is OK, and there are people with whom I would like to interract. If you describe yourself as a thinking, non-violent person, and have common interests with me, make contact through MSNM/e-mail (identical address) (even if you are against my opinions. It can make things interesting--I actually have a friend from Iran).
