Do Singapore people have too good feeling about themselves?
-
The first day on this forum. Just got an impression.. heaps of people in here do not have got sufficient knowledge and cool mind to make a objective judgement on some political issues. and lack the real understanding about the international status and situation of this country in the world. or in other words singapore is a country or something else? any reason why this country is so shifty? what do you reckon?
-
frankly speaking, i don give a damn abt politics...
but i trust our MPs and ministers in singapore to do a good job... -
Sometimes, the posts of a person do not necessarily represent the intelligence level of that person.Most are just too lazy to think and formulate a "policy paper" to answer some one-liner question.It happens, we are all human.If you resent having to see uninformed and really simplistic answers, go join a discussion group or a NGO here.We need a plurality of ideas.Just grin and bear.

let me assure u that the words in red are nothing more than a sweepin statement claimed by none other than urself.. -
I agreed with you the part where you mentioned about where we do not have got sufficient knowledge and cool mind to make a objective judgement on some political issues. But political issues are sensitive, so aso cannot blame those pple. Like u are actually a calm and cool person, but i attack ur weakness which u r sensitive with. You sure to pissed off rite?? Once pissed off, u will not have a clear mind to think.Originally posted by j28w32:The first day on this forum.

Just ignore those political threads if u are not comfortable with it and enjoy ur stay here partcipating other threads.

This country would not be well known as a main economic country if it lacks so much in knowledge of the world. But as it is, the key contributor to this country is probably so busy that they do not visit such site. So, do not look down on this country.Originally posted by j28w32:The first day on this forum.

But at the same time, there are many born here who reap the benefit of the hard work of the others without knowing. This is made worse by the education system (which focus on skills rather than regional knowledge) as well as the lack of interest in politics due to various reason which I shall not state.
Do not make your judgement so quickly until you have met (see in person) at least 100 Singaporean from various level. Keep your minds open. Do not let prejudice set in. -
thanks for your comments.. i am a bit jumpy for sure.. actually i know little about this country, just been there once before on a short trip. to me this country is so familiar.. it is just a city somewhere in china.. maybe Guangzhou?? or maybe i am wrong again.Originally posted by Qitai:This country would not be well known as a main economic country if it lacks so much in knowledge of the world.

Buy somebody talking about taking Chritsmas Island back (in another thread) in here. that is just pissing me off for sure.. Does Singapore have got any single chance or capacity of taking territoriy from others?? Is this country in such a position to do so?? Let alone sb even arguing whether it is financially feasible to take it back in the bloody serious way. that is just crap. -
the first thing i would like to say is that i do not like the way you highlight a sentence from whole paragraph of my words.. to me you are garbling my words and even my meaning. it seems you have used too much highlighter in the assignment of your class. And second i have got no intention to put singaporean down. nothing like "bring it on". the only person who can "disembrace" singaporean is yourself. not me.. as i am not in such a position.Originally posted by BaByBoY:get on w ur facade.. if u`re out to disembrace singapore and it`s ppl bring it on..

Except here you can see a significant population of Malays, Indians and Western People if you look around.Originally posted by j28w32:thanks for your comments.. i am a bit jumpy for sure.. actually i know little about this country, just been there once before on a short trip. to me this country is so familiar.. it is just a city somewhere in china.. maybe Guangzhou?? or maybe i am wrong again.

About the Christmas island thing, well, I was laughing the first time I read it especially when I read the comment about Singapore being the only country to who ever sold terroritory to another country. Some people really need to get real and read more. But if you look at it from another point of view, you can see how much people here yearns for more available land. Who knows, one day, an actual territory sales might occur. It is the dreamers who makes the impossible happens. -

i`ll prefer tha audience to view for themselves wat u haf for them.
only i made it clearer. do u contempt that u nv wrote the words at all??
BLUE : i`m glad u know that -

i do believe a better choice of words would haf resulted in the absence of my need to interfere w ur comments..
thx for understanding
i shant post anymore unecessary stuff here incase things gets too heated up
peace, -
another flaming thread?

Are you talking abt yourself ? Some of your postings in the Christmas Island are really ridiculous.Originally posted by j28w32:The first day on this forum.

By the way are you Singaporean in the first place ?
Just remember this, he who judge will in turn be judged. -
Well, typical Singaporean!Originally posted by nemo77:frankly speaking, i don give a damn abt politics...
but i trust our MPs and ministers in singapore to do a good job... -
Firstly do like your word "ridiculous".Originally posted by tspg:Are you talking abt yourself ? Some of your postings in the Christmas Island are really ridiculous.
By the way are you Singaporean in the first place ?
Just remember this, he who judge will in turn be judged.
and do not know which part of my words is "ridiculous".
Secondly it really does not really matter if i am a singaprean or not when making a comment on this forum. is there a physical punishment if i am not? I do know there are some physical penalty which is only used in medieval time, but still going on in singapore.
Thirdly i really do not mind being judged.that is your very right to do it. but I do mind getting single word like "ridiculous" without any proper reasoning.
The last i am talking about myself... just talking about "impression".
and hope when you really want to get back to my comments.. please give some answer to the questions i put forward.. i do need appropriate answers to them. Many thanks. -
you damn right.. and also they have got very good feeling about themselves.Originally posted by yak32:Well, typical Singaporean! -
This is the original post by you
you are a quite considerate person indeed. "australia also need the island as military buffer from SEA too". You are just making me laugh.
give you an example; british started full scale war to take that little island back from Argentina. that island for now has little economical interests. British travelled half of the world to take it back. can you give me a reason? certainly it is not a profitable business in your opinion but why they still want to do it with the unanimous support of parliment, which has never happened in British parliment history for 200 years? why? you talk about "logic". but you are not logical.
You seem to suggest that Singapore shd go to war with Australian over Christmas Island. If you are Singaporean I think it is very irresponsible to do so. If you are not, I cant be bothered. -
damn right ,we have got very good feelings about ourselves, we like being positiveOriginally posted by j28w32:you damn right.. and also they have got very good feeling about themselves. , and we don't advocate war, we don't poison people and we don't have a whole bunch of rude hypocrites -
x 2 !!Originally posted by oldbreadstinks:damn right ,we have got very good feelings about ourselves, we like being positive , and we don't advocate war, we don't poison people and we don't have a whole bunch of rude hypocrites
but seriously, i think ur english is too difficult for them to understand..
please use easier english with them
i don`t really wish to tax them out
now that they`ve complained
