You are most welcome.
Dont u think no news is good news? Most of the headline news u see nowadays in ST, LHZB, LHWB, Sin Min, TNP, CNN, BBC, CNA, Today etc are bad news. Mideast conflicts, terrorism, environmental disasters, bird flu, corruption, NKF saga, SAVH politicking, murders, suicides, conmen, Ah Hao & Huang Na, thefts, robberies, earthquakes, ppl dying, tsunamis, hurricanes(lots of them-break record), maids killing employers, Constance Song vs pimp, corporate scandals like CAO, Citiraya etc, rise of petrol price, incr in ERPs & bus fares, the New Poor, Paris burning, paedophiles, younger ppl getting AIDS, & so on & on. Maybe newspapers thrive on these news, or else how to make profit?
Well this totally contradicts the entire purpose of the apocalyse forum. You are freely disseminating "NEWS". If no news is really good news indeed, why put up that forum?
Yes, i want ppl to read but NOT advertise like this. It's not meant to be a pte forum but MY forum for others to share their views.
Actually I really love this line. It's really about YOU isn't it? In spite of your postulating about doing it for Jesus, it is really about feeding your ego and your need to feel wanted? Otherwise why is it YOUR forum?
Hello brother, I know u have great linguistic ability. Or maybe u r trained as a lawyer or doctor or professor of English or biologist. A writer of course with yrs of training can dissect paragraphs. A lawyer can dissect a plaintiff or defendant until he has no words to say. A doctor can also dissect a patient to take out his cancerous tumour or baby. A professor of English needless to say is superb in dissecting my common english words, with all the wrong form, verbs, grammar, preposition, vowels, alphabets, sentence structure etc. Or a biologist can dissect a toad or frog or cockcroach or rat to examine its internal organs. Sorry i am not trained as either of any, so pls forgive me if i cant withstand your dissection. Bcos ordinary poor man in the street mah!
Boh liao or not, it's up to the viewers. Then why ppl still go to boh liao R(A) movies, read boh liao books, go to boh liao websites, laugh at boh liao comedians etc. Pls dont be so serious can or not uncle?
I do not bother to dissect boh liao movies, say from Stephen Chow. But assuming the movie has a social message, you'd find that such genre is always under heavy criticism (dissection?).
You are right. Nobody has monopoly of facts. Which is why each individual can and will conclude issues their own way. I happen to like to sieve through all the information given to derive a conclusion. If I don't that, I will be accepting, at face value, all your "cultic" links in the past. Are you now saying that I should not have dissected your post and allow such links to misinform our readers? Or when you come across a writer who says one thing today and another tomorrow, you will also accept it at face value.
So does it mean that because nobody has monopoly of facts, nobody should argue or debate or in this case dissect other writers posting? Like it or not we all dissect, even you, when you wrote your last note.
Yes, facts very impt but nobody has monopoly of facts & nobody knows everything. Maybe u know much more than younger ppl here & they sound immature or act immature, BUT dont u think that's what young ppl say or do-immature(young so immature what?)? U were young once, did anybody comment u r immature also? Let us all learn from our mistakes. No need to dissect everything. Even if u correctly dissect, pls dont put down ppl. Remember u're uncle ok? So what uncle do? Take care of the nephews what?!
In the past, before the internet came, our mistakes are usually privy to a few people. Now when someone put up a piece of information in such a forum, nobody knows the level of understand of the writer. It may be a secondary school kid who has a good intention, but wrong facts. When encountered with such a situation and you know that the information is wrong, what do you do? Didn't Paul rebuked the churches when they erred?
If nobody attempts to analyse such erroneous writing, you think the writer can learn? If I did not attempt to inform the readers that some links has cultic origins, the writers will know?
As I had said before, don't want people to dissect, write responsibly, check your facts. I am not even going to attempt to ask people to write with proper grammar, even though it will be helpful for people to understand the note.
You are aware that people are not able to understand you, right?
Yes I am an uncle. I am also a father of two kids. When they do wrong, I punish. Of course, my first course of action is to counsel, if that doesn't work, I make sure that adequate and relevent punishment is meted out. Otherwise, how did my kids turn up to be what they are today?
