'Terrorism' and respecting the right to retaliate


https://www.facebook.com/TheIndependentOnline/posts/10153490303806636


Simon Sammut: How's that latest wave of cultural diversity working out for you Germany

Ed: Before more guys go all 'terminator' on refugees, etc, take a look at your own history books to see who started the ball-rolling.

Cranston Greg: Oh that makes it ok then

Jonny Knight: That's right. Ignore the current problem because we should still be feeling guilty for the actions of our ancestors.

Riley Nichols: Another self hating leftist

Ben Hawes: We aren't allowed to defend ourselves against Islamic terrorists today because history? Seems legit

Chris Austin: Ottoman empire anyone?

Ed: Cranston Greg, is retaliation ok? Or do you think like your colonial predecessors that those who throw a spear in the face of musket fire are 'savages'?



If you thought it was ok to ‘retaliate’ after 9/11, so why begrudge them a similar right in the face of your actions in the middle east?  I’m just using your own standards - except that it wasn’t the middle east that has been bullying and oppressing you like you have them for decades.  



You sound like your colonial ancestors who actually saw people as savages if they threw spears in the face of musket fire.  You obviously think you have the right to shoot without the other side having the right to be pissed off about it.  That’s white supremacism for you.



When we respect others' right to retaliate, then we'll be more circumspect in our efforts to offend in the first place. The evil, my friend, starts with the one who threw the first blow, and in the case of the west, it went on and on for quite a long time didn't it.

Ed: Jonny Knight. 'Ancestors'? The people who did what they did are still doing as they did.

And I suppose you also think that half a million children killed via US and UK embargoes in Iraq in the course of ten years prior to 9/11 is a non-event too.

But its ok, you probably think that white lives matter more.

Ed: Ben Hawes. No. Not repeating your history would be a good place to start.


When we respect others' right to retaliate, then we'll be more circumspect in our efforts to offend in the first place.

It's Chinglish, not Singlish.

Ever wonder how 'singlish' sounds so much like the way a chinese child speaks - like that child on the left?  Not like a malay child, not like an indian child.  The next time you speak 'singlish', just ask yourself how different it is from that little boy on the left. That indicates that 'singlish' is not actually 'singlish', but 'chinglish'.  And this further indicates that the formation of this so-called colloquial and unofficial ‘national’ language indicates that non-chinese differences were not considered in its formation, which, incidentally, parallels the chinese-determined criteria of what alright and not alright in all other arenas.   No wonder that the msn.com site for singapore is called ‘xin.msn.com’.  If it is representative of anything, it is only of post-80s chinese self-absorption.  Same goes for the ‘wit‘ which is typical of the wit in Chinese media and conversations.  Childish, and has no resemblance with the higher level...

Xingapore and Sinonazism in s.e.Asia

Image
It's interesting to know that xingapore's cable and broadband companies are sort of partnering with China's telecom firms like 'hwa wei' as well. Wonder when these people are going to grow up, get egalitarian, and stop sticking to their own - and stop caring about falling chinese birth rates as if that is an issue in what is supposed to be a multicultural state. And, by the way, the U.S. has issued alerts against Hwa Wei and ZTE as security threats and possibly linked to China's government and military. related article on BBC - China's love-hate relationship with what is foreign Singapore, after all, is going to fast-track china's citizens into taking over the rest of the region But i suppose in the chinese supremacist state of xingapore, that is not a problem. (calling it a ‘chinese supremacist’ state is not an ‘opinion’ but a matter of definition, i.e. stating that singapore must always have a chinese majority; that our 'mother tongue will be mand...

Singaporeans upset about Indonesian naming ships after their ‘heroes’? Why?

Image
Indonesian military officers have pulled out of a Singapore aerospace show amid a row over the controversial naming of a naval warship. Indonesia angered its neighbour by naming the new ship after two marines who carried out a bombing which killed three people in Singapore in 1965. Singapore's second minister for defence said he was "disappointed" with Indonesia's naming decision. Jakarta defended the move saying it was customary to name vessels after heroes. - bbc In conversation, Ed: I don't see what the fuss is about. The chinese fascist government of singapore had no problem erecting a statue of mass-murdering chinese premiere, Deng Xiao Ping in singapore. And anyway, the attack was on Malaysia, not singapore - as singapore was a part of Malaysia then. So this issue is actually a non-issue. The singapore government is just trying to flex its paltry muscles regionally. Silly fellas. Kelvin Leong: while I may not agree 100% with the way my government handled t...
