come on.. everyone is entitled to their own opinions... and in
this kind of forums agreeing to disagree will surely do alot to
lessen the flaming and all that that has been happening. people
really have to learn to tolerate and respect other people's views
no matter how different they may be. we can stand up for what we
believe in, but putting others down in the process and hurling
insults does not help at all.
that said, perhaps we can try to examine why people bear such
mindsets and stereotypes? its really got to do with environment and
age. language as well as some has pointed out. but in the end, when
you are older and working perhaps when you are 20 odd 30 years old,
does anyone care whether you came from jc or poly or private
institution? your employers will only be interested in your
performance and work attitude. and that is about everything we need
to contend with for the rest of our lives, not whether we received
jc or poly education.
i was from a jc 8 years old, but circumstances are that i went to
ns, and from bmt all the way to i ord, i was with poly guys and i
worked with poly guys. in fact i was the only recruit and only
cadet with a jc background then. but i had no trouble with my
frens. and they have no trouble with me at all too, even in the
beginning. i have ord already and we are still good friends and we
meet up quite frequently too.
so at the end of the day, does it matter where you came from? if
you are a nice person, does it matter whether you came from a jc or
a poly? of course that applies too if you are a rotten egg. these
are all for the people around you to judge. where you came from
shouldnt affect how you see others and how others see you
right?
so perhaps we can all try to ask ourselves why we harbour such
thoughts about jc or poly people. ask yourself rationally and maybe
you will realise you were making unfair generalisations about
them.
so perhaps we can all stop the flaming here? its sad that alot of
good topics end up with flames thrown all about and the original
idea and intention of the topic was totally lost.
simmer down guys! why lose temper and kill brain cells like this?
