  A weekly roundup of the most interesting Web discussions by Singaporeans.
  
  Stunts for funds
  
  THE debate about charity and stunts continues. Should celebrities and newsmakers risk life and limb to raise money?
  
  babyanjel asks: 'Do Singaporeans enjoy watching circus acts and experience glee from watching stunts?'
  
  robochop, meanwhile, questions the motives of people who are motivated to donate only when there are stunts on TV.
  
  asd78 begs to differ.
  
  He says that the stunts are a challenge to the celebrity performers, just like living without money is a challenge to many of the sick and needy.
  
  When celebrities like the Venerable Shi Ming Yi perform a stunt, he says, they are just asking people to donate so that they can 'help needy patients to overcome the challenge' and live.

  Keeping it simple
  
  CHENGSUN is perplexed.
  
  Why did the folks behind the new airport terminal at Changi hold a naming competition, offer $2,000 cash and other prizes, only to settle on the very bland Budget Terminal as the winning entry?
  
  Many others agree that the name is not too creative.
  
  Not sentsggirls though. She writes: 'Well, why not that name? Sometimes, simplicity is good.'
  
  She thinks that it is appropriate for a no-frills building catering to budget airlines.
