_|_Originally posted by Icemoon:Nope. The Christian population should be promoting science and technology and at the same time lending voice to debates on ethics and morality.
The practical reason is this - now is teach less learn more, why you want to add to the syllabus leh? 
_|_
Orh, so shouldnt add Creationism to the syllabus in case our overworked students get more muddled right?
Promoting science and technology, while lending voice to debates on ethics and morality. Sounds like what American founding fathers want. -
For 700 dollars you can go to our neighboring country for a short holiday and at the same time contribute to their economy. Yay!Originally posted by laurence82:>.

Of course companies have failures. But pray, which of Temasek Holdings overseas venture is a resounding success?

We will surely move on. Aren't we moving on? The gaberman is trying to develop new industries in Singapore. Singapore is changing. -

Secular then good.Originally posted by laurence82:Besides, the PAP is very secular in nature. I am not sure whether its a good example to use in a context like in EH.

For the creative industry, we are actively trying to promote game creation and the gaberman is pumping $$ to get the industry going. This will boost employment in the creative sector like in the tourism sector.
You tell me .. how many Asian countries have the priviledge to host the World Cyber Games?

Yeap wussy parentsOriginally posted by Chin Eng:Some actually tried - at least not on the creationism issue. Some Christians parents were offended because the word "witch" appeared in some English primary school books. Some kids just have wussy parents.
The creationism issue? Won't happen lah. US government's public face is a Christian one eg the "In God We Trust" phrase in the dollar bills. Our government's is still more secular.
Yes that is the issue. Our government is a secular one, where it wont support any specific faith on its own. So the issue is, if people are as faithful as they made themselves to be, shouldnt they be exhorting against things that are against their values, for example IR? Be more assertive than what they are now?
I think, in reality, Christians, now why i keep mentioning Christians is because of the current context, are in sort of half half world, a conundrum, where they have to adhere fully to the Bible, yet living in a very secular world.
These are reasons why i dont trust fundamentallists or preachers, because in reality, they cant practise what they preach, no matter how they can twist the doctrines to suit their interests. -
went to Genting once, spent half a day in the casino, between me and my wife, we lost less than RM10, but gain I also gain a kilo from their snack counter.Originally posted by Chin Eng:sure sarport IR one..... s-pecially if got cheap buffet....

I heard there will be theme parks as well in the IR... -
I rather invest and make more money donate to charities.Originally posted by Icemoon:For 700 dollars you can go to our neighboring country for a short holiday and at the same time contribute to their economy. Yay!

orh, moving on...yay hurray
I actually believe more in HK economic approach, the way it used to be before the PRC came in, lassez faire

you miss the pointOriginally posted by Icemoon:
if these add up to a very strong economic outlook as well as rising living conditions, i eat my shoes
Very nice on the surface, WCG, IR...but whether these can fill our tummy for the next 20 30 years, remains to be seen, heck, and i am thinking of CPF and rising costs of living -
That's why it is important to engage in economic colonization and prevent others from colonizing us.Originally posted by laurence82:you miss the point

You ensure control by not letting others control your telecoms industry. But you try to buy other's telecoms industry. Shouldn't you applaud Temasek Holdings for this? They're trying to safeguard your future , you know? -
Precisely, then the questions will start to come in, how successful are these economic colonisation, and when they bring in profits, do they benefit the populace?Originally posted by Icemoon:That's why it is important to engage in economic colonization and prevent others from colonizing us.

Living off meagre salaries and having guarded future is different from living off an adequate inflation adjusted salary and better yet, having a guarded future with strong foundations.
52 years to calculate the bloody reserves...thats give us ideas how laughable your 700 or 800 bucks from budget surplus can be. -
I think these Christian politicians already did. If I remember correctly some of these politicians actually said that they are against it. But as far as I know (and I am no political commentator), the PAP mechanism is a close door discussion first, and any or all views are expressed prior to parliment.Originally posted by laurence82:Yes that is the issue.

Even if we eventually have a Christian PM, I do not think that the party will push base on Biblical conviction.
...which is why the Bible admonished that we are in the world but should not be part of the world. Practically speaking, jia kan kor.Originally posted by laurence82:I think, in reality, Christians, now why i keep mentioning Christians is because of the current context, are in sort of half half world, a conundrum, where they have to adhere fully to the Bible, yet living in a very secular world. -
No leh .. it is common knowledge that George Yeo was one of the first to push for the IR. And it seems that LKY and LHL were against it. Probably GCT too.Originally posted by Chin Eng:I think these Christian politicians already did. If I remember correctly some of these politicians actually said that they are against it.
