Re: The difficulty of convincing Sinkies that public protest is not always a bad thin I agree, Agoraphobic. Discussing the prevalence of (or rather, lack of) public demonstration in Singapore is definitely a complex issue. We cannot simply attribute our current behaviour to a single factor...

Not sure if you were trolling, but I think that post definitely warrants a response given that there are people who would wholeheartedly agree with you. Women are just as human as men. They might have different thought processes and biases compared to men, but as that does not give you the...

Yes, that could be another way of looking at it. To me though, that proposition creates a lot of room for other arguments, since modern human civilisations on the whole could be treated as a travesty of nature. I.e., air travel, gambling, institutionalised education. My view is that since we're...

Sorry for bringing this tread back on-topic, but this reminded me of a good article I read recently about marriage and family in the Asian context: http://www.economist.com/node/21526329 It's long, but relevant definitely worth a read IMO. I support the notion that upholding the...

I think he was referring to "PCC = free" lol. But you're right, man; it's never free. Wow, she has nice boobs.

We should blow up that image to the same size as the national flag and hang them up side-by-side. ed: shame about the Australian background though.

Yep, another crafty euphemism.:rolleyes: So they basically want to "celebrate" South Asian (you can more or less infer from the names of the people attending where this refers to) immigration. Celebrating the exploitation of other countries' job markets and lax immigration policies? At...

So a date between a 14 and 18 year-old is considered by the Malaysian press to be "harmless"?! Oh well, it did happen in Terengganu, though. Maybe they were factoring that in. My gf is from up north, and even she reckons it's a s**thole.

Shouldn't the man be the one pressing rape charges? I mean, he could have been equally groggy (having been asleep) and mistakenly thought he was dreaming, or that the local brothel was giving out free samples. This could probably go either way... Lawyers always seem to be able to make...

I'm not cynical by nature, but given that it's a local production (Homerun Asia, apparently), hopes are pretty slim for anything other than a capstone for Old Man's cult of personality. No mention of which Tony Leung it will be. Probably not the "In the Mood for Love" one, right? The other...

I listen to more bop, but my taste is eclectic. I've been neglecting my CD collection somewhat, after a crash erased the meticulously-organised collection on my hard drive. Since then, my collection has slowly dwindled with each new computer. I'm retarded when it comes to backing stuff up...

Agreed kingrant. Some things (like staying healthy and reasonably fit) fall squarely on your own plate. It's not like reservists are being forced to run full marathons all of a sudden. I was a medic back in my full-time NS days (ORD circa 2006). The equipment and ambulance is all there. Next...

Speaking of the land of the rising sun, I personally find Toshinori Kondo / DJ Krush's "Ki-Oku" album awesome. I remember buying it back when HMV at the Hereen was decent, but you can find most of the tracks off YouTube or the "link sharing" channels nowadays...
