p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; } Wow, we've just had a 5 day weekend here in Oz. I spent most of yesterday going through Lee Kuan Yew's 'Hard Truths', and watched the DVD again for the n-th time -- the video on interviews on the 'hot button' topics. I did this with my 'emotion radar' turned on -- i.e. listen to the man, let him make his point, and try as best I can to look on his claims

I am completely fed-up with the use of "greed' as a form of valid argument. To me it signifies intellectual  and moral turpitude because it suggests "I'm not greedy, but look at those awful people who are" and has the arrogance of certitude to boot, and  yes, it (emotionally) pisses me off.

I apply skepticism when coming across reports as the ones cited below because it is difficult to ascertain what the real economic growth is and how much of the figure are due to inflation of the money supply -- which has expanded in Singapore. Nonetheless, the economic growth figures are impressive. There is virtually no unemployment, savings rates are high and businesses have lots of free cash

Politics is way better than crime because once you rule, you can rock as hard as you like. Most people will agree that criminal activity is immoral because it initiates force and applies that force to individuals against their will or without their consent. i.e. murder, assault, theft, fraud. Criminal activity is illegal because it breaks the laws of the territory. Sometimes, but not

Vatican: ordaining women is as bad as raping children from the pulpit Throughout history The Vatican has invented spectacular doctrine from indulgences, to Limbo and Purgatory, trans-substantiation...etc. etc. and now this. I'm not surprised as the Christianity in general and the Catholics in particular have had severe problems with women because of their genitalia -- anything which comes out

Westboro Baptist Church will Protest ComicConRev Fred Phelps and his merry band of zealots come under too much criticism, I think.

Here they are again, Singapore's finest embarrassing themselves by agreeing to agress against peaceful citizens -- this case a private citizen employed by the not-so-free media -- by agreeing to act at the behest of their political masters -- the apparatchiks running the state.

Force always attracts men of low morality. ~Albert Einstein The Singapore thought police have been busy trying to slam this fella behind bars by administering a typical Orwellian-style incarceration. Fuck them. The state is supposedly run by (expensively and intensively) "educated" (so-called) people. Oh, I make a mistake. Pol Pot was "educated" in France and Stalin received a scholarship.

Regarding the article below: Here we go again - Govt bans another Martyn See's film I have always made the argument that the lack of civil liberties and the inalienable right to the freedom of speech, freedom to publish and create works without censorship is a very good reason to emigrate from Singapore.

The "heavyweights" of the (so-called) "new" atheist movement (??) are commonly understood and accepted to be Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dennett and Sam Harris -- aka "The Four Horsemen".

Merry Atheist Winter Solstice, I mean Christmas... why not? There is no reason to miss out on all the fun, good times, food and gifts. There is no Jeebus baby, and no Santa avec reindeer either -- but that doesn't stop me from having an absolute ball.

Here is a collection of super-divisive debates between theists and atheists/non-theists. I am tiring of the "atheist" label lately. I prefer nullifidian because to me that relates to the null-hypothesis -- because that places the burden of proof squarely on the people making the claim. In that way, I am not required to hold any hypothesis at all -- for e.g. I need not even bother to consider the

Ideas come from individual minds, which influence how individuals think and act. Therefore ideas shape society — which is a collection of (hopefully) independent and inter-dependent individuals.

Ol' Mikey rails against "capitalism" and suggests it it replaced by "democracy" in his new film. However, in doing so, Michael Moore proves himself to be a FREE MARKET CAPITALIST.No doubt market democracy will prevail and the anti-capitalist Michael Moore will make tons of money on this film — an endeavor he pursued in his own self-interest, to achieve a a value worthwhile to him, for an audience
