Maybe he doesn't have any friends and he makes imaginary friends to accompany him.

And yet he keeps telling everybody to let others judge

But then there is a huge difference between Gazelle and DeerHunter's English proficiency. Gazelle's English standard is pathetic.Ya I agree... Although his behaviour is equally irritating, DeerHunter's English is definitely nicer and more eye-pleasing.

The reason the 'deerHunter' needs the wider audience to judge any on-going argument is due to the fact that he has no clear idea where his own argument is leading him to.
With the structure of his arguments based on no facts, he needs the help of others who are more knowledgeable to bail him out.
Sadly, others who know the truth of the Singapore situation would rather keep their silence and let him burn for his stupidity in not recognising the obvious.
If one cannot douse the ambers of a fire, why bother trying to hide the smoke ?
He is not even attempting to hide the smoke, but think that he is more capable with his efforts at rearranging the smoke to make it more acceptable.

There is no freedom of speech in SINGAPORE. THAT THE TRUTH.

I think Jason the Janitor has lots of hard disk space to accomodate so many clones, Gazelle registers a new clone every day.

You ask an Iraqi who used to live under the tyranny of Saddam, he'll probably like the freedom in Singapore better. You ask a North Korean who lived under KJI, he'll probably say, he loves his great leader, because thats all he learnt to say. You ask an American who lived in the land of the free and the brave, he'll tell you Singapore is illiberal. All is a matter of perspective. Democracy in its purest form, is idealistic. Just like Communism, idealistic. Every ideal needs a reality check. What makes it work, what kills it. Look at the politics of Asian countries that went the way of liberal democracy. The drama of the Taiwanese parliament. The fractious South Korea. Every democracy has its own set of problem. Its how you make the best of it. I can appreciate what we have in Singapore. The stability we've traded some of our liberties for makes us an attractive place for foreign investors. My only gripe is that many of the poor and old are neglected. Freedom of speech? What is that when you are an 85 year old man, forced to cut up paper and cardboard boxes for a few measly dollars. A time when you should be at home resting, you are out in the streets, working for your next meal. Freedom of speech? What is that?

Exactly what is that when there is no one to speak up for him?
"There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. "

How many people do you see here speaking up for them? Is posting not a form of freedom of speech? I don't know. People could have been talking about how to get the govt to do more to help the poor, but they prefer to curse LKY instead. What is freedom of speech when its not used for something worthy? Just the ability to make noise... Everytime an MP stands up parliament, opposition or not, he could ask, "can we discuss about poverty today? How about the next session?" No one can file a defamation suit against that! Whats the point of all of us having the "freedom of speech" when there are people out there who DON'T have it because they are poor? I think we missed something here.

Yes, we certainly missed something here - if you still have not discern what is amiss in Singapore - from a Government that is deaf to the cries of Singaporeans protests at the unending bouts of policiy decisions that increase the financial burden on everyone.
Has anyone been able to make their voices heard beyond the printed pages, some of which have been censored even by the main papers - so as to maintain a semblance of calm acceptance and orderliness in the society.
What is the point of all of us have the "freedom of speech" when there are people out there who DON'T have it because they are poor ?
Should there be a condition of equal wealth before there is a purpose for "freedom of speech" ?
Should it not be a situation where those who are wealthy and with the means should strive harder to get the political space for the "Freedom of Speech" for ALL - so that the voices of the poorest can be heard ?
Do the poor have any voice at present ?

Let's said there is a thread dedicated to suggestion to govt wat can done .. NOTHING will be taken into consideration by the govt .. So why should we even suggest? So many ppl have express their views on the increasing standard of living in SG etc etc .. SO wat is done?
