you're thinking along the right line! these crappy institutions are hard to justify. but most people being dumb or stupid, they'll rather stick to these nonsensical concepts, follow the herd rather than think on their own (which, for them, is hard since their brains are not very well developed).Originally posted by loseagain:I feel that nations and countries are unnecessary and should not exist !!!
can someone please justify their presence?

And you yourself can see enough evidence for this! Most people who replied to you either blamed you for your question (how dumb are those people?), asked you questions in [b]response to your questions, or couldn't do any better than say they're damn stupid singaporeans.
None of them tried to reasonably justify the existence of countries.
But as long as you have so many billions of dumb.Fu.cks around the world with intelligence of donkeys, you'll have some sort of divisions, Nations/countries being the most politically correct one according to the latest fads.
Last time used to be religion, then that become too sensitive. then race, still got sensitive. still got language, still sensitive. then got nation, not sensitive. what is this nationality? you migrate to a different place, acquire a new passport or new document, you change it.
And some dumb people are not only stupid, but F.ucking stupid to say they fiercely proud of their nationality coz they're also dumb.

can u read?To justify for you, I let you see the difference. Only after knowing the difference then can you justify.
it's ' what are the justifications of countries and nations ', not ' what is the difference between countries and nations ' . stupid.........
I dun think kids will bother~!!Originally posted by loseagain:i don't, but that i think it's informative for kids.
Kids today do not have any grounding in world history and geography.Originally posted by Mr Fugue:I dun think kids will bother~!!![]()
which is not what I'm asking for, stupid.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:To justify for you, I let you see the difference. Only after knowing the difference then can you justify.
One more thing: meaning of justify - to demonstrate or prove to be just, right, or valid
I hereby justify that Singapore is both a nation and country.
the stuff in that series is on trival stuff, like why it rains. i'm sure some kids will find that interesting.Originally posted by Mr Fugue:I dun think kids will bother~!!![]()
er, what do you mean by this? i don't understand.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Kids today do not have any grounding in world history and geography.How the hell are they going to be able to interpret the news in an objective light if they do not understand the context that it comes from?
Lack of a comprehensive education opens the doors to "pointcasted" propaganda.
