Bunny Girl on the Christmas Cake theory: how abt fruit cake problem? unwanted from the start.


MFTTW: eh eh is cunnilingus haram?

Me: dont think so

MFTTW: shit now i'm going to have to google "is cunnilingus haram"
and i'm going to get 10,000 arab pornsites

Me: not to mention a bunch of DIY fatwa sites


Someone: i'm at ITE

the kids i see here,
sometimes i wonder if they are worth helping

they will come and amuse themselves by pretending to be buying
what are they trying to prove ?

Me: they may be just passing time

Someone: their choice of entertainment is deplorable

Me: you'd probably engage in it if you were there

Someone: doesn't mean it's right.

another pair came and asked a teacher to help him open a can of red bull
while i was talking to him

Me: no but it makes you question why you would complain about it

Someone: because more than anyone has given up on them
they have given up on themselves

i wanted to ask the teacher how long has he had to put up with
behavior like that
but he looked to have chosen this path knowing full well what he was
getting himself into
the look of resignation

i understand that the gentle touch is probably an approach to educate these kids
possibly even the preferred method
but left to me,
i'd probably have tolerated much less

do you know that Singapore Prison Service is just opposite Tampines ITE ?

i thought to myself
'yep, that's the way to scare them'


Someone else: there's ACJC porn
but only one person in my batch had it
his name was called sperm whale

Me: har
eh what ACJC porn

Someone else: uh

two ppl
wearing ACJC uniform
gradually undressing
and fucking
according to legend

Me: wait according to legend. that means it may not exist?

Someone else: dunno.. we tried to get it from sperm whale
he says he has it
but refuses to share

apparently it was on torrent for a while

Me: suspicious

!!!
can I buy the rights? haha

maybe apocryphal

what sort of stupid name is sperm whale
haha

Someone else: he's fat
and he masturbates alot

Me: this story is so screwed up

Someone else: they have like chuck norris facts about him..lol
like if you've watched a porn movie, and you think you are the first, he has already watched it twice


Me: "whoever wins, we lose"

Shianux: ya lor
aliens v predator

though the problem is they are all aliens
because fundies and feminists are all hive-mind creatures

predators are individualistic hunter species
so neither fundies nor feminists fit the type

fundies all unquestioningly obey their god like a hive-mind species

feminists all unquestioningly obey the god of "power dynamics"
like a hive mind species


Shianux: you know I've come to see the AWARE egm as a loss, not a win
particulary on how the supporters of the old exco behaved

so mainly, 2 problems: the behaviour of the supoprters at the EGM, and the CSE

Shianux: the problem is
this is a battle for hearts and minds
you cannot win by alienating people
that's what the supporters of the old guards did

I told you already about the CSE right
they should have let a lawyer vet through the whole thing
and use REAL neutral language

I gave you examples already yesterday, so easy to defend
the ones in the manual, omg, it doesn't sound neutral even if the word neutral is used

Me: but you know what people will say right
must fight against bigotry etc
to which my reply is. be martin luther. not jan huss

Shianux: yeah, but fight must fight smart what
not fight stupid

Me: and that this is why we had proposition 8 and the banning of gay marriage in so many states
backlash

Shianux: you win by winning people over to your side
not by shouting them down

Me: yah. for us the intentions don't justify the consequences
that's why in my why we should not campaign to repeal 377A post I said we should work on the ground

Shianux: not only that, even worse, the consequences are the opposite of what you want

Me: then morons like *** shot me
this is hwy moderates are few. cos you get whacked by both sides

Shianux: well, I changed my mind over to your perspective I guess
its like the more I read and think about the whole AWARE saga
the more I'm neutral
lol

honestly the smartest thing the old guard should have done
is just to let the new exco continue
that way they could be seen as being nice and gracious

I think a whole lot of people became too emotional

Me: neutral only ah

well they're woemn
hee hee

aiyah when you become emotional logic goes out the window
that's why women are less logical
cos they get emotional more easily

even the most logical and rational girl I know becomes irrational when emotions come into play

Shianux: lol u know
I think its safe to say that *** proves the stereotype of the crazy feminist
how ironic

Me: yes
ahem

Shianux: you know I think the worst fundies are probably women too
I think its so true to say that 女人是祸水

Me: 祸水?

Shianux: trouble

Me: hahahahahaha


MFM: psc scholar friends seem to lose their idealism

Me: well PSC Scholars can only survive if:

1) They don't care
2) They get co-opted
3) They never had the high ideals (i.e. Liberté, égalité, fraternité) in the first place
4) They quit

MFM: mm

Me: how long did your scholar friends survive with idealism?

MFM: they're not completely gone yet but I can see the erosion

Me: how long more do you give em?

MFM: couple of years

you are pragmatic in pursuit of certian goals, but those goals have to be ideologically justified

what happens with the co-opted is that they start buying the pragmatism as ultimate justification thing
