Horrible, evil people can produce masterpieces but their wonderful creations don't negate their character flaws.
I'm not sure if you're serious or not, but you're making a wrong comparison again between the "masterpieces" of an inventor-businessman and a politician (especially if he's a dictator).

The creations or products of Steve Jobs are NON-living things/objects that are, therefore, NOT essential/necessary for human beings to live.

Whereas the policies (at least the major ones) of LKY are ALWAYS accompanied with THREATS and ACTUAL punishment (if threats don't work), sometimes even resulting in DEATH (i.e. outright murder or slow torture until death) or chronic mental illness.


I was illustrating the need for a distinction between judging a person vs their creations.
Distinction? :confused:
A person (like a tree) is judged BY their creations (or "fruits"); otherwise, how else can a person be judged? By reading their minds? :wink:

I don't know if you're a Christian, but even if you're not, this verse/verses from the Bible should make sense to ANYONE with common sense:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_7:16
http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/kjv/mat007.htm
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

I'm not a baptized Christian, and I'm certainly far from perfect (and I was also never a prefect! :wink:), but at least I have enough common sense to know that BAD trees CANNOT produce GOOD fruit.

You've missed the point. You're just echoing the previous argument.

The point I'm making does not in any way suggest that policies and products are similar.

All I said was that I judge the person using a different yardstick from their creations be they policies, inanimate products or anything in between.

okay, then what is this "different yardstick"?
Reading their minds (or thoughts), or judging them by their words and/or actions?

As long as this "different yardstick" involves words and/or actions, then you're judging based on POLICY:

Definition of “policy” | Collins English Dictionary
So once again, you're contradicting yourself, i.e. judging a person based on his/her policy, and then claiming you're not. :wink::p

Why does the death of that despot dictator deserve the honor of a half mast flag?

Your avatar should show a bottle of champagne.

it was actually full mast. the depot pulled it down whilst being dragged to hell by tauyepek and jiyapek. it nearly when all the way down and the grim reaper has to chop his hands off.

I have not changed my stance whatsoever. I support most of PAP's policies 100%. Show me where I have done otherwise.
I have yet to be shown which post(s) of mine contain criticism of the PAP. :rolleyes:
Still waiting for someone to point out where I have made an anti PAP post since LKY's demise. :rolleyes:
I'm trying my best to find it! :p
I just need a few more hours! :wink:
Okay, I've finally found one specific policy:
The legislation is ridiculous and I will take all measures to ensure that nobody in this forum gets in trouble. I may be an ardent fan of the PAP but I strongly believe that everyone has a right to say their piece. The person on the receiving has every right to reply accordingly.

John Tan is also Opposition supporter posting ridiculous threads to play reverse psychology.

I am deeply hurt. I have always been a strong PAP supporter. Ah Gong would have been proud of me. I cried at his passing.

for any website to remain unscathed, it makes perfect sense to be pro-pap since the majority of subject matter is related to sg. if another party takes over, then it's wise to be pro-whatever party takes over. for now, it makes sense to support the pap as pap is da best! :biggrin:

Another one:

Instead of putting up with the stupid rules laid down by the PAP, why don't you move somewhere else where cars and petrol are less than a third of the price?

Don't let your government dictate your lifestyle. Give them the finger and walk out the door.
