any Frank Herbert fan here?
God created Arrakis to test the faithful...
maybe thats what Sg is for... the biggest crap-hole in all the
world, but if u can thrive here, u can make it anywhere...
there is no such thing as a stayer or a quitter. we're all trying
to be survivors...
if u stay and survive, good for you. if u leave and survive, good
for you too.
look, all that crap about how the education is inadequate, how
we're all drones and how we'll all die in the new economy cos we
lack creativity is just bollocks.
what matters is how do YOU see yourself! if u
think u can't survive here, what makes u think that u'll make it
anywhere else?
yeah sure, scenery's better, land's cheaper, life's less
stressful... u could just herd sheep and plant wheat for a
living... as if farmers don't have to worry about falling
government subsidies, falling prices, crop failure, high costs of
genetically modified seeds and chemical fertilizer, crop and
lifestock diseases, waste disposal, taxes, bills, overheads, etc,
etc, etc...
its a hard life everywhere and it boils down to what kind of life u
want yourself to lead. there is no fixed standard about how people
should
live...
the only freedom a man has is the freedom to
CHOOSE how u want to live and u work your ass off
to reach that goal or u don't complain that your life sux.
stayer or quitter? as if u need the government to teach u which one
u should belong to...
i think the PAP knows that they can no longer deliver the same kind
of prosperity across the board and opportunities are drying up
locally. so i think they'll be quite pleased if some of us actually do move away and
find new opportunities abroad...
they want the "global citizens" to keep their pink IC of course...
but whether we do or not is essentially our choice to make...
either way, i think its only right that there should be no hard
feelings on the part of either party
