sigh, robert, you still don't get it, do you? But I really hope
you can open yr eyes and see. Read again what the forumites have
said:
1. Paperchicken on 5/9 0404pm: I think there's no such thing as a
"true" or "model" democracy. Each country shd adapt and come up
with a democratic system that suits it best.
2. Qitai on 6/9 1204am: We have. We can vote down PAP. But I do not
believe that democracy is an end to itself.
3. CenturionMBT on 6/9 0209am:.. true democracy. . .in an ideal
world maybe.
ultimately i wouldn't care less about the
politics
4. Muse on 6/9 1130am: The choice remains, the key is whether the
people choose to take it.
5. Drawer on 6/9 0119pm: If like that,I rather have a chaotic
democracy!
6. Tidalwave3333 on 6/9 0707pm : robertteh's 7-point definition of
a 'true democracy', while inspirational, also smacks of idealism
(and possibly naivety). The American political model certainly does
not possess all of those virtues. In fact, I would go so far to add
that those prerequisites are set so high that pragmatically, no
country can ever satisfy them adequately.
7. Himbo on 6/9 0722pm: I applaude your balanced point of view as
well as
..Yeah....what he said..
8. av98m on 7/9 0914pm: like the Singapore model better.
9. Runningismylife on 7/9 0217pm: democracy is for everyone to
interprate and comprehend. for one thing is sure, there's not only
one form of democracy available
.. i believe that socialist
democracy has brought us what other democracies have not brought to
their society and country.
10. Reginaldroddi on 8/9 0710am: Sorry popping out but i think that
democracy is an ideal world, there is no assect definition... ppl
improve on ideas & apply it from time to time...
11. Pikamaster on 8/9 0902am: My opinion is that we hsould adopt
UK's "shadow parliament" democracy.
12. Fymk on 14/9 on 0823am: The meaning of true democracy is *drum
rolls*
.There is no such thing as a true democracy!
13. Gohmengseng on 16/9 1100am: The system of democracy must be
both a system of selection as well as elimination.
The other forumites like iveco, Atobe, reyes, [email protected]_arms,
oldbreadstinks expressed their opinion on singapore politics but I
can't see any opinion from them supporting yr 7 pts of democracy.
Scorps125 posted something just to let off his frustrations. After
yr long answer explaining the 7 pts to gregorsamsa you must have
expected him to say hurray, great plan! but we have not seen his
response.
I don't have to rubuke yr 7 pts. In fact, I learned from these
postings and I am more convinced now that these 7 pts is a piece of
shit.
So singaporean have spoken, not all of us are happy with the
present system, but we know what we want, definitely not the 7pts
of democracy. Feel free to keep this thread alive in case someone
might want to agree with you.
But just to substantiate your credibility, please be reminded there
are questions which you have not answered: You brought up the
question about the HDB's S$14billions, are you going to
substantiate it? On 10/9 You posted a Conclusion in which you
mentioned there are general concensus, can you advise how you
reached those concensus? You were asked if you ever consider to
walk your talk, are you ready to answer? You also have not answered
the question if you were prepared to fight for Singapore or you
will flee as soon as there is problem here.
Btw, are you here to collect info to write another book? Hope yr
book on the ... management system is selling well. Times are hard,
people are getting smarter, hardselling doesn't work, bullshits
doesn't sell.
This is the final of my final post on this thread.
