"Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience and rebellion that progress has been made." - Oscar Wilde

MFTTW: look lah. in my world any one who is a big fan of people who "think" rather than do, aren't worth my time.

Me: haha
no wonder you're an engineer

eh I am into aspects of philosophy also :P

MFTTW: yeah but you're a mathematician
that's acceptable lah

applied maths remember

Me: ...

MFTTW: you know
philosophers are the types who wail and cry over not enough people taking up the arts and social sciences

and then wail and cry over social scientists being underpaid beaus ethey don't contribute anything concrete to society

and wail and cry because they don't get enough welfare
and wail and cry because they are falling behind
but still refuse to get off their intellectual pedestal

......annoying

Me: so what should they do

MFTTW: get a real job
and pay taxes

hurhurhurhurhur

we don't live in ancient greece any more
when any ah seng ah beng can spend their days eating grapes and arguing with people in courtyards

Me: they had slaves

actually if social scientists are underpaid we should reduce the supply for them
then the market clearing wage will rise

MFTTW: how come they didn't complain the slaves were being marginlalized
imagine if you were born into slavehood
and all around you, you were only exposed to people telling you taht you should be a slave

and you don't see any future for yourself except that of slavery
then can you blame the slaves for turning out to be slaves?
:D

Me: they complain now mah

uhh
your point?

MFTTW: nothing lah. i'm being facetious

Me: ...

Me: "We all have strength enough to endure the misfortunes of others." - Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Noodles: lol

...

i only have one void in my life and that's one for $$

Me: why are women so materialistic

Noodles: i'm ust pragmatic
and besides, void in my life /= desperate for money
just that i realise that i have everything i need to be happy, except for money


Someone: aiya the problem with singaporeans these days is that they think there is only one way, the correct govt way of doing things

you can see it in the myopic way she writes

there's only one correct definition of intellectual, one correct definition of atheist, one correct definition of christian

i blame it once again, on the government and its lousy education policies


Someone else: ask u not to piss ppl off
might as well ask nus lower tuition fees


someone: i went to watch 'music and lyrics'

and ther eis this pop star who is obsessed with india
and her routine features her emerging from behind a giant buddha, wearing almost no clothing

and i thought, hmm, so are the buddhist going to riot?


My No 1 Fan: so who's the target for propositioning????
