Other - Society & Culture - 25 July 2006

When a person who once had serious issues with alcohol, drugs, crime, and/or abuse is turned around to live a "reborn" life of recovery, we treat him/her as a hero. But for the person who lived a simple, clean life of honor and respect, each is nearly ignored - like a virtual "nobody." Why does our society hold the "bad guy" in such high esteem?

I'm just saying, it doesn't seem like they care much about anything. Except removing questions that aren't offensive at all and leaving the nastiest questions that I have ever seen.

I am just ranting.

I am a Malay working in a Chinese dominated company; whereby colleagues prefer to speak in Mandarin or dialects. Often enough, i caught them speaks bad about me behind my back. My managers are equally the same as others.

I'm sick and tired of these homosexuals that try to play the prejudice card all the time. They have their views and beliefs and are not the same as mine. The thing that makes them who they are, is the fact that when someone doesn't agree with them, they cry homophobe. Shut up and grow up, if i don't agree with you, i'm not being a homophobe, i'm being human and expressing the freedoms that this nation grants us.

In order to get pregnant it requires both a man and a woman. Unless it's rape or incest, then the sex was concentual, so it is not just the males fault for not wearing a condom. If it is concentual then the woman should be in her right mind to say no condom, no sex. Abortions should be a join decision too because just like it takes two to have sex, it takes two to make a baby. As it is now, the only loser seems to be the male and I think it's unfair, we women preach equality but we've gotten so much special priviliges that men seem to be treated unfair now a days. If after a night of concentual sex the woman ends up pregnant, she has control of two lives, the baby and the man. If she doesn't want the baby but he does, then it doesn't matter what he wants, she can just dispose of the baby. Why won't it work the other way though, if she wants it and he doesn't, then it doesn't matter what he thinks and he has to pay up. We women take a lot of our freedoms for granted.

When I see news programs about China, the young women are either hand and hand, arm and arm, or their arms around each other's waist. I have even seen some women sitting on other women's knee, or both sharing the same chair..
