Watching everyone is a hell of a data base, besides, if they
really want to watch what you are doing on the net now, what do you
think is stoping them? There are just so many ISP in Singapore, if
they really want to watch everyone, they would have done it a long
time ago. Do you think they would allow you to post this on here if
they wanted a total police state?
Exactly how are we the normal people being locked? No chewing gums?
well it wouldn't have to be this way if some of us had not stuck
them in between train doors in the first place. Can't be naked at
home? Well, actually we can, so long we draw the curtains and make
sure nobody else who don't want to see our naked body doesn't see
it.
Singapore may not be as liberal as a number of western states, but
it certainly doesn't mean that we don't have any freedom at all. I
read a number of posts in these forum spaces that protray Sg as a
police state or a matrix like place with only a few "clear minded"
people. I'm not sure if this is due to the psychological need of
some to feel superior or outstanding from others, but I feel that
there is a lack of balance in the criticism to PAP with regards to
the restrictions perceived by some.
Basically if you are a ordinary person, you don't get too much
restriction, I mean sure you can't scold against LKY and company in
public like the Dixie Chicks to Bush, but its not like you will get
arrested if you post a thread here that wish him to die early. Does
anyone here actually believe that the PAP does not know of this
forum or has not had pple come in here occassionally and read the
threads? If the freedom in Sg is really as bad as some protray,
pple like Atobe, Shutterbug and furomwee88 would "disappear" a long
time ago.
This post is not against anyone, not the people who argued against
PAP(some like Atobe had put brilliant arguments while others just
plain anyhow anyhow complain) and certainly not against you Opspec.
But I do hope that people don't see PAP as a satanic like figure
and credit them with every single possible evil. And if people
doesn't argue against the PAP, it's not always because they haven't
"wake up" but maybe because some of them saw something that
anti-PAP people have not seen.
