  i'd say do like the israelis do, make them learn something or even fight and stop acting like ungrateful spoilt brats whose minds are filled only with nonsensical boyband politics and tv drama plots. of course im not saying every girl's like that, just the vast majority of singaporean girls.

  Do you really need to prove my point on you not knowing yourself, nor your subject matter with your very post... really... are you seriously putting forward a proper position or are you a strawman sockpuppet who actually supports NS by trying to discredit position you appear to support to begin with? Because I find it hard to believe a person could make such obvious mistakes.
  
  
  
  Sun Tzu is a pacifist? You obvious do not understand the term to begin with. Sun Tzu knew quite naturally that the most skillful way of winning was to disarm your opponent without physical battle at all.
  
  HOWEVER, he knew enough that the realities of warfare meant that some times the stuff will hit the fan and you have to fight. Hence he knew plenty about how to get the best killing when it came to it. He was not a pacifist, he was a realist. He understood the utilities of peace but didn't slack on what to do when it came to war as well.
  
  Under his advice in Wu, there was plenty of bloodshed in his methods... so you can go figure if this is really the work of a pacifist.
  
  To understand what a pacifist is, please go read up on it. Sun Tzu was no pacifist. Please don't make a fool of yourself.

  Do you "hint" at your "solution" because it is mostly a nebulous position that you are making up as you go along? As of yet you are saying nothing. Try harder.
  
  Our neighbours are not our enemies, but I don't think anyone in here has any illusions about how quickly things can turn sour. And there are more then enough factors out of our control that requires vigilance and a ready military. I don't really know what you are driving at, except to make people laugh at your ignorance.
  
  Maybe you need to take a visit to East Timor or Southern Thailand to understand what is happening on our doorsteps.
  
  Everybody wants peace, but if you think it comes by always playing nice I think you are sadly out of touch with what's happening all around. With or without NS or SAF, these things will still happen. It is a choice of if you want to take it lying down or being able to stand your ground if it really has to come to it.
  
  Simple as that.

  You still don't get it, do you? Simply jumping into conclusions instead of thinking hard, trying to show you know so much when you are ignorant and then try to portray me as such. Don't say I call you names. Please read Sun Tze carefully, don't read your mind into his.

  Feminists in the US would frown on this... when they mean equal, they really mean equal... pushing for women to be including in each and every thing that men can do.
  
  Here it's more of a pick and mix basis. Take this if it suits us and keep quiet if it does not.

  That's militant feminism, nothing to do with equality.

  Right now I am thinking Switzerland and villagers in the alps with pickaxes. Dunno why.

  Yawn... you really need to get more creative with your evasions...

  They might disagree with you- of course I don't agree with them.
  
  However the "feminism" here has little to do with equality as well.
