Why Do Chinese Burn And Waste Stuff?

[HedgeTrader]

Dont confuse Education with intelligence. You have to remember that this traditions have been around for thousands of years, but the western mindset and lifestyle you are practicing now and exposed to is only started with your birth.(Your parents and grandparents were not exposed to this) Its funny esp when i see the Chinese picking up ang moh names, Me and my friends would usually tease them cos we find it plain stupid to try action ang moh. Yes we minorities find it silly. An end of the day.. I have more trust in Tradition then no-tradition. For example i would rather go for Tradition herbs instead of modern day western medicine that is made with chemicals. Cos i believe Chemical kills, Herbs heal.

Your comparison is like apple to durian. Herbal medicine is natural tonic versus chemical. Both heal, unless you take toxic or poisonous, which also can be herbal or chemical. Calling them tradition or modern doesn't link to inconsiderate air pollution in the name of religion. I consider myself moderate freethinker, but frankly got irriated by public burning too. You can't irritate anybody whether you want to choose herbal or chemical medicine.

P.s... Be proud that you have this cultures and tradition, cos it makes life abit more beautiful. Since i came back from overseas.. Im sort of happy whenever i see a malay wedding, a chinese funeral on the road or Thaipusam.

theres nothing to be proud of if a tradition or religion are delusion and selfishness . yes, traditions or religions has been around for thousands of year ( and i believed theres also many religions or traditions has been banned ) , if we dont start to examine those bad religions or traditions then we are still stuck in those cave man era .

i m quite sure some of the guys that complained about chinese burning offerings causing air pollution are themselves smokers. contradicting?

does smoking cause PSI to increase ? by the way , smokers now also cannot suka suka smoke ...theres smoking area for them too ..thanks for bringing out the smoking issue by the way leaving cigars butts on the floor also will kena fine so should we fine those ppl who leave their offering on the floor ?

To me its pretty simple, You views of education and tradition is solely based on western ideology and western lifestyle. Which to me is plain embarrassing cos your trying to embrace another culture that is totally distinct to your own.

 

[psy83]

I just trying to point out Asian tradition to western tradition and using it as an example. But after reading my sentence again, I realise im not really good at explaining myself. Sorry if you couldnt understand what i was trying to imply.

LOL! This is funny comparison but true. If old tradition means good, go to the jungles and live in cases. That's oldest tradition!

Your modern tradition teaches you to fark one another backside and wanking extensively at home looking at a computer and going to shop in Fbt and singlets.

It pretty funny that i as a non-Chinese is defending a Chinese Tradition. Hahaha, I guess im what you call a true multi culture individual.

those who think that old tradition should not be banned ...i advice they go work barefooted and behave like homo sapiens .

I'm not against any tradition, eastern or western. Just be considerate and do what you believe in among yourselves in your own place, don't bother public and public place in the name of religion, oh they must be tolerant for harmony. I'm also irritated by evangelists too. I always tell them believe all you want and stop pestering me or public.

Your just a plain ignorant dumb Homo-sapien. Go and google what is Homo-Sapiens. And p.s if Singaporeans stop dumping crap on the floor, i would walk barefoot like how i did in aus. Feels good to be grounded to the earth. Just your Skin n Earth and not between with a modern day product.

yes..its ok as long as ppl use the bins for burning ( and make sure the bins are smoke proof ) and cages for the offering ( maybe cages abit too much later those delusion ppl say the ghost couldnt get their hands inside the cages ) . so maybe just pick up the offering after praying will do .

Im willing to let go due to Tradition.

kudos to you.... a balance of mutual respect and tolerance is the key...

but most people demand respect and have zero tolerance..

 

[drifter]

" Im willing to let go due to Tradition "

most delusion ppl will gladly give up their brain in search of self-comfort ..
