Someone: oh btw i just saw a nick on my msn list that goes: vatican is against surrogate moms. lucky no such rule when jesus was born.
Someone else: 'Nonetheless, I believe we should avoid the word 'they' in academic discourse. To reiterate a previous point, suppose this was a discussion on racism in Singapore; one would not use the word 'they' when referring to other ethnic groups, not only for political correctness, but because it immediately deprives the reader of the chance of thinking objectively, since to him/her, the group in discussion has already been reduced to an 'other'.'
this guy would be KILLED in a lit class
soci forum
Me: oh really
I thought "other" is a popular soci concept? [Ed: I meant "lit concept"]
Someone else: it is a popular concept everywhere
lit theory uses the concept of the Other quite extensively too
but note the point!!
he thinks using "they" is wrong!
the original point was for homosexuals
he thinks we shouildn't use the word "they" to refer to homosexuals!!
because it excludes them from society!!!
like what the fuck!!!
you bookmark sc1101e lah and go see
Me: using the word "they" to refer to anyone restricts the terms of the discourse and excludes them from society ;)
Someone else: utterly absurd
Me: sure or not
he'll be killed in lit forum
Someone else: or in lit class
if he said it during tut or smth
c'mon
lit is all abt competent thinking
Me: so soci isn't? :P
Someone else: it is as well
this guy fails in both arenas
Me: now you know why I get so pissed off at the PC left
Someone else: i mean

the PC left would be embarassed at this guy
Me: err
Someone else: i mean

Me: like your feminists lah
Me: why you like pictures of sex

frigid singaporean bitches
Me: I didn't say there's anything wrong
what's wrong is when society judges behavior by different genders differently by virtue of gender
eh
frigid means they are not perverted
you mean hypocritical/lying singaporean bitches
Me: exams make you horny? o_0

Someone else: I'm having lunch with 2 SAESALs [Ed: Shrill, Anorexic, English-Speaking Ah Lians]... There is a resonance effect. one says something shrill and inane and the other responds with an even more shrill and inane thing and the inanity bounces back and forth forming a resonance effect that is greater than the sum of its parts. And the worst part is that it's in English, so you understand what they're saying... you don't want to, but it just gets in your head, it just drills in your mind.
Me: Now you know why I'm so pissed off
