Americans, Alsations and Pekinese
-
Americans are basically ignorant about world affairs.
Even their elites cannot understand the non-American mind.
They think everone in the world think like they do, loves democracy and freedom of speech, equality, non-discrimation, separation of Church and State etc
Well- they are wrong.
It's time someone told them that even dogs are different- an Alsation does not behave like a Pekinese.........sure they can mate.......but they are a world apart in the mental makeup.....so don't run the world the American way. you can only find success with wannabe states like Singapore...... -

These are universal human values which will never add burden nor oppression to anyone else.Please use your brain la.
And we are not a success story.
It's late little one, momma wants you in bed in 5 mins..and your 5 mins started 4 mins ago..huh..still walk rite?Never mind..knock it down.. -
Well spoken, Sir ( ahem- I read SPF forum on Sir-ing too !)
but I beg to differ : Some people don't think- they let their religious leaders think for them, they follow whatever the religious leader say.
Look-they cannot read the religious text for themselves, it's in a different language....... and there are many of these people in this part of the world. They are liable to run amok at the slightest provocation:
That is why I support the use of ISA in malaysia and Singapore. (which the American are against.........stupid fools......we are trying to help them fight the mad mullahs.........) -
I agree that democracy is not perfect as people running the system can hijack democracy to suit their own political ends.Originally posted by idwar:Americans are basically ignorant about world affairs.

Singapore started as a Westminister democracy but look at what happened to its democratic instituions e.g. election, freedoms of speech, doings of many things in the name of democracy (jacking up costs to pay high salaries to civil servants and ministers with only self-approval) etc.
If Singapore has succeeded only in the manner as it has pursued by taxing double on land (paid for by public fund and charged back to people at full market values) and triple taxing on vehicles (excise, COE, ERP) costing citizens averagely S$500,000 - S$800,000 all the working-class citizens will die of economic depravation. Is this kind of society where 90% of citizens are bonded or enslaved to their highest mortgage debt called a success in the true sense of success.
Well leaders have claimed using their controlled press and publicity machinery that they have succeeded. Not quite if there is a genuine election yet. Right now people cannot vote (only 42 % have voted) due to control of election participation under GRC and electoral boundary redrawing with all seats going to one-party to perpetuate one-party rule.
Democracy has given the advanced countries good lives with citizens actively checking on government leaders and implementation of policies including many Asian countries like Japan, Korea etc. Even Mahathir admitted that other than democracy there is no political system that will give proper check and balances. Theocracy is one that will be led by only a few as well who reads or knows the religious texts.
Unfortunately it is liable to abuse and tweaking to suit one-party or autocratic rule. If duly recognized and safeguards against current wrong doings and shortcomings introduced, demoracy should continue to do well for Singapore and the rest of the world. -
Yes, many Americans are ignorant of the world affairs and sometimes ludicrously expecting others to adopt their system in total!Originally posted by idwar:Americans are basically ignorant about world affairs.

But aren't the Al-Qaede and those Islamic fundamentalists world over telling them that?
The ISA may has its usefulness but it is susceotible of abuse
