Singaporeans are inconsiderate
-
If you note...you're twisting the context slightly here =)Originally posted by jackme1:Do you know what you are saying?
Are you saying is that we should never laugh at our class mates, platoon mates, work mates as we are all in the same boat. I am sure you look down/laugh at certain individuals...by your analogy...you should not.
What is wrong with a Singaporean laughing at another Singaporean?
The significant gist discussed here is 'intelligence and laughing at others who're in the same boat'

which is what you posted about. However, now you propose that its ok to laugh at people who're the same boat as you which substantially strengthens my argument that the said person is not very intelligent. Either that, or he/she has a shallow humour.
which brings me to the next point which you have raised in the same paragraph --> yes, we should not laugh at other people less fortunate than ourselves (which you don't agree)
Therefore, seeing that you complain that others are inconsiderate and yet you look down/laugh at other fellow singaporeans suggests that you are in fact quite shallow (and stabbing yourself in the foot) which renders any subsequent point you raise inconsequential.
I do apologise as this seems to be a personal attack but I need to state a conclusion

I cannot answer that question because you have made a sweeping GENERALISED statement. Do you just want me to state that 'Singaporeans are a considerate bunch of people'?Originally posted by jackme1:In order to help you...answer this...you do think singaporeans are a considerate bunch of people? If so...why?
Point (1) --> 'Singaporeans are inconsiderate'.....now there are so many other singaporeans who think about others. Imagine how would THEY feel just because of someone like you who have a biased opinion because you feel that you're wronged?
Conclusion: Not all singaporeans are inconsiderate
Point (2) --> By stating specifically 'Singaporeans', you denote that 'inconsiderate' is a Singaporean trait and it is not seen worldwide. Which...isn't true again...So many other countries have people who're not considerate
Conclusion: Generalised statement on your part
Finally....'blah blah'. simply put, I think you want to just complain and make your voice heard. If you wish to properly present an idea, you could've worded it something like 'Are singaporeans inconsiderate?' or 'SOME singaporeans are inconsiderate'.
Or...even simpler, you just want to come here kbkb and think the world has wronged you somewhere. -
you jackme1 ah?Originally posted by kingofbeholder:
Ok. I think enough long story liao.
My last post in this thread to him~ -
Because the majority are too uptight to laugh at themselves or accept criticism..and this stretches from the ground all the to the corridors of power.Thus the incessant lawsuits in the political arena..Originally posted by jackme1:Do you know what you are saying?

And they claim legitimacy and mandate to introduce laws because the majority is made up of uptight, over-sensitive people who never really live beyond superficialities..somewhere along the line, they forgot how to live and dream.
It's a catch-22..definitely. -

In final conclusion...you think I am arrogant and inconsiderate. I think you are arrogant and inconsiderate.... Therefore it is fair that we can generalise that Singaporeans are inconsiderate. -
Name me another major city in the world that virtually none of such incidents are existent. Excluding major cities in Australia, Canada, Japan, and Hong Kong.Originally posted by jackme1:Experience??? Where do we start....
1) They do not give way on escalators...blocking both sides. When you say excuse me, they get angry
2) Pedestrians stroll across the road even though they are jay walking (hoping to get knock over and win $2mio I guess)
3) Walk down Orchard road, once again nobody will move to one side...they prefer to walk into you
4) They love to jump queues
5) They hate to serve another Singaporean (shops/restaurants)
The list goes on and on....I guess this is a society of Ah bengs and Ah lians! Maybe I should write a book!

you gave me an impression you came just to provide the finishing touch. too bad. looks like there will be more flaming.Originally posted by ditzy:Don't drag me into this, I didn't come here spoiling for a fight. I came here for suggestions, and opinions. -
i just think this topic is too subjective and a waste of time arguing your point because there will always be objections which the opposition think is right and you think is crap.. while your counters are right to you and wrong to the opposite party.. so lets all.. relax
-
i think you are just another typical arrogant singapoeran...Originally posted by jackme1:Thank you...you just proved the point of a typical arrogant Singaporean!
why everyone must give way to you? -
Thank you...when did I ask anyone to give way to me? Do you not understand the topic?Originally posted by Glen999:i think you are just another typical arrogant singapoeran...

You think too highly of me. It is not my habit to put an end to needless things. It is me who puts needless things into action.Originally posted by dragg:you gave me an impression you came just to provide the finishing touch. too bad. looks like there will be more flaming.
