This has to be the longest most sought after trilogy like ever… Ok, maybe not so sought after. Following my freedom of speech thingy, the funny thing about democracy is, well to most people anyway, it is like the victor’s glory. That is, whoever has the biggest gun makes the last call. However, as learned humans, democracy does come with its standard definition. Never mind that some people tend to ignore some or all of it. Basically, there are 2 defining principles for democracy; everyone is equal under the law and that everyone has universally recognized Freedom and Liberty.

That is the essence of Democracy and now I shall relate with disgust and sadness how one chap is being charged by legal authority for posting racist blog some time back (in a democratically elected represented country). Similarly how the Danes are punished for their (un)Islamic Prophet’s cartoon. It is like wow, suddenly everyone in the non-infidel world stood up and takes notice. Isn’t the cartoon depiction (child brides, abusing women, drugs and war) part and parcel of their life? You don’t need rocket science to see what their problem but more of it later.

Both (Danes and Singaporean) are merely upholding the principles of Democracy; Freedom. Apparently not everyone shares these similar views; over here at least. We have this peculiar component built into Democracy; that is being socially responsible, that means also, in a nutshell, your speech or views must be responsible socially. Fair enough. But as we know by now, laws are like guidelines, evolving constantly to make sure it is up to time, never too outdated or draconian.

Personally, I do not agree parodying anything religiously significance but I feel as a citizen of the Free world (yup, Singapore is technically a FREE Country), I have to make a stand on the outcry from the Muslim world. It seems (like my post elsewhere), they are living in their own little world, without any connection to the bigger arena. As I have asserted in earlier entries, why should the world admirably be tolerant, disrupting our lives; for a majority to placate a vocal minority according to their standard? Shouldn’t the minority live the way of the masses? Or at least compromise their lifestyle for common good? If history and present facts serve any truth, that compromise is not forth coming anytime soon.

But Seriously…The biggest perpetrator of abuses and multi-substandard treatments come from the Muslim nations and yet they dare speak of our blasphemies. Given, we are no saints but at least there is this core belief of universal democracy and justices (even China lor). My point is that this vocal minority (having made the BIGGEST NOISE) are unwilling to compromise on anything and still hold the views that everything the rest of the world’s doing is either WRONG, degrading, exploitative or trying to sabo them… I mean, wow, seriously dude?

Peace will only come when they finally wise up and realize that their current tactics and ideology is completely bonkers. Then again, if they really wanted peace and prosperity, they would have just gone the Japanese way; go pacifist, build their human capital, grow rich and fuck cow. Do you think the Israelis would be anything but happy with a prosperous and peaceful neighbors who just happened to fuck sheeps (read previous jokes)?

But of course they can't have/do that, not when their most cherished values; involving the destruction of an entire race is at stake. So in the context of their ideology of death; their actions are completely comprehensible. Did I mention their heaven also comes with a whole harem of naked virgins waiting to service them… And you know what is scary? Every single M-F88Ker in their world believes so…

Added to this, is the fact that the rest of the Arab-Middle East Islamic world views the Palestinian people as a useful tool and a pesky thorn in Israel's side, and so they funnel arms, monies, and ideology to help ensure that the Palestinians never wise up and stop fighting. Iran, for example, backs Hamas. The rest of the Muslim world just watch and eat popcorn (or whatever they eat down there).

Think about it…Why Israel chose, of all times, to attack. I can give several reasons. Firstly, the truce between Hamas and others had long expired, and there was sufficient domestic support for a hard strike. I mean if my neighbor kept taunting me with his silly antics, I will too. Especially hard on the nose and make sure he does time in the hospital for a long long time.

Two, Obama's presidency. Despite his spoken support for the Jewish community, and their support to him, Israel apparently has found enough reasons to doubt his commitment to them, so what can be a better reason to test his resilience and steadfastness to them? Yes, Whack them buggers’ silly…

Third, Oil Prices. Hamas' biggest backer is Iran, who provides them with funds and arms. Some setbacks now since their last haul was hijack/destroyed; when the shipment was routing via Sudan. So, now that the current low oil prices translate to lower profits and hence funds from Iran should comparatively be dropping too. And hence if Hamas is destroyed, unlike the previous round, Iran is unable to resurrect it, due to lack of funds and economic clout. In the end, after all the wind wind rain rain, money talks. No money, don’t say Iran don’t help, even Hamas also play each other out. Don’t get me started on Ideology thingy.

B.I.L.L.I.A.N.T

And finally, think about it: Israel undoubtedly has the ability to massacre the entire Palestinian population, IF THEY SO CHOOSES. If the situations were reversed, what do you think would happened?

B.I.N.G.O

Next episode (or whenever I have the mood), let’s move on to what we can do…
