My nose is running,
I'm exhausted from coughing through the night,
and it just hit that I've yet to have my usual morning coffee.
Made the mistake of reading some of
the comments posted by Singaporeans
on The Real Singapore.
Not going to link to that site,
or the particular article.
I've seen too many similar comments
on many local articles,
not just from the above-mentioned site.
Man, it's like they were all dropped multiple times as babies.
Those people are just a few steps away from starring in any show about dumb criminals
which make people wonder 'Why in the hell would they do that??'
Now yea, I know... I know...
My English isn't perfect.
But goddammit,
if you're trying super-hard to come across as intelligent,
at the very least observe the BASIC RULES OF GRAMMAR.
And how do I know these mentally-challenged asshats
are trying to sound smart?
Easy. They usually straight up tell the author, or the commentator they disagree with...
that they are stupid.
Or they'll respond with insults 'Learn to thinks with your brains you is stupids!'
Something like that.
As if bad English isn't enough,
their arguments are usually vacuous.
Ok fuck that.
They just sound stupid.
Really stupid arguments that using the logic of 5 year-olds (no offense to actual 5 year-olds).
There was an article about how a first-time visitor from Vietnam
was detained at the airport for about 7 hours and deported (after being charged $189),
without having been given any reason, or even a receipt for what she was charged for.
And there were more than a few commentators implying that she was a prostitute...
that she'd done something wrong...
or maybe her friend waiting for her in Singapore had a bad record... and so ad nauseam.
The stench of their stupid bigotry can be smelled from miles away.
And the logic! Oh my GOD the sheer lack of it.
First of all,
you stupid fucks,
the onus should be on the ICA to provide evidence of her supposed guilt.
Or at the very least, a reason should be given.
Are these idiots really OK with government agencies
having so much power with so little transparency?
Of course they are,
having come off of the conveyor belt education system,
and opened wide and swallowed the government's bullshit.
Yea, they'll keep us 'safe' as long as we let them do whatever the fuck they want to do.
It's all fine and dandy... until it happens to you.
Until then, you're more than happy to sit on your high horse (which is actually pig that has greater a intellect than you) and throw stones.
Every time I come across online Singaporean comments,
I lose even more faith in the education system,
and Singaporeans as a whole.
And trust me, the glass wasn't exactly full in the first place.
Singaporeans,
especially those who have gone through the entire local education system...
from the primary school all the way through to a local university.
This is my opinion of them: Imagine the dumbest racist rednecks you could find in the US.
Multiply their stupidity by 2 = Locally-educated Singaporeans.
And yes, of course there are exceptions.
But by and large, that's my opinion of them.
And the group that actually takes the time to post online comments like the ones I've mentioned?
Those are the ones at the very bottom of the barrel.
That little bit of coffee left at the bottom of the cup that nobody wants to touch.
The dumbest of the dumb.
Well enough of that
