Uh dude... I only see a lot of meandering and running around in circles on your part. I don't see any of your so-called 'arguments' being substantiated with...

Atobe SG

That is the whole trouble with the position that you have taken - prejudice, biasness, presumptions, and BLIND LOYALTY .

What makes you think that we have not travelled around the world ?

It is due to the fact that there are some, who have travelled around the world, have come to realise that this SWISS STANDARD OF LIVING is nothing more than a 'HOLLOW PIPE DREAM' ; to lull those Heartlanders who have never been further then Batam Island, or Bangkok, or China to believe in this 'HOLLOW PIPE DREAM' Exclamation

Here is some sound advice for your misplace sense of 'moral indignation' :

Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. ~ H.G. Wells

did you? how u noe any of us didn't?

Salman SG

Cos if you did, you wouldn't be complaining.

Visiting a place is not seeing. You don't know how and why the place works. You simply look, you don't see.

Nelstar SG

Our dear iveco terrorize victims who may have features similar to Bonny Wright. Or is he already doing it?

The problem with you is that you are too presumptious and too conceited in your silliness to treat others with any respect.

'The smaller the mind the greater the conceit.'
Aesop (620 BC - 560 BC)

'Conceit is God's gift to little men.'
Bruce Barton

I don't assume, I know from watching the forum.

Here's my advice to you. Every country you happen to visit, go find out how the country runs and works. Ask the basic questions, the inherent contradictions etc. Read books written by the locals as well as foreigners on the country.

Do that and you will be a smarter person.

Atobe SG

You form your opinions by merely watching the forum Question Mr. Green

Perhaps running around in circles in this forum have done you in - as proven by your frequent 'no brainer, one-liners' Laughing

You should try taking your own advise - by visiting and STAYING in the First World Countries.

You will find that the attitude of the Government and the Politicians towards its Citizens and Constituents - are a WORLD CLASS different compared to the Singapore Government and the Politicians from the Ruling Political Party. Exclamation Mr. Green

bla bla bla….......... oh grow up.

As can be seen in your case :

"Age is no guarantee of maturity."

- Lawana Blackwell, The Courtship of the Vicar's Daughter, 1998

SilverPal SG

And you've done all that? You travelled around and asked the necessary questions?

Have you become smarter from all that?

SilverPal SG

Wow, very matured reply. Perhaps we can all learn from you...

Salman SG

Yes I did and yes indeed you’ve got a lot to learn. All you need to do is to ask.

Nelstar SG

Do not deprive others of hope. At least they found a reason to suppress the horrors in life, at least they found their path to justice. Abstain from tainting their world, do not preach hopelessness.

Laughing

SilverPal SG

Well, I'm glad you feel smarter, because it doesn't seem to be manifesting itself in your posts.

" yes indeed you've got a lot to learn. " - you certainly do.

Try learning from those who know better than you.

"Delusions of grandeur make me feel a lot better about myself."
- Jane Wagner

"Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live."
- Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

"Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true."
- Demosthenes (384 BC - 322 BC), Third Olynthiac

Salman SG

Stick around Atobe and Silver Pal and you shall learn more as I educate you thru the years on this forum. I tend to stick with forums for many years.

The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.
Anatole France (1844 - 1924), The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard

Are you capable of teaching anyone, with a mind that is closed tight as a tin can, which is no bigger then a milk tin - empty inside but makes so much noise ?

By learning you will teach; by teaching you will learn.
Latin Proverb

Are you capable of teaching - when you can hardly learn ?

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: You don't give up.
Anne Lamott

If you intend to stay on for a few more years, there is hope yet that we can bend you back to shape.

Salman SG

Do you believe I don’t read any of that cut and paste?

Atobe SG

Surely I can believe you on this one, as you are only capable of understanding only "one liner" statements - that you try to emulate from these luminaires that you have so miserably failed to copy with your "no brainers".

Try to make a big leap by delving deeper into the subject matters and probably the issues can be engaged and discussed more intelligently.

Salman SG

Post all the insults you want, I just don’t read.
