The hardest thing in the world....is seeing who you are. It is finding out who you are, not who you think you are. You may think you're the most generous person on the planet, and yet you treat people like dirt, without knowing it. I certainly do it. And while it's selfish, what can i do, but apologize and move on? Oh, the power of apologies. A few simple words and the whole world will "forgive" you for what you have done. How can people be so...."negligent" for want of a better word. "Oh, i'm sorry, i just tripped you. (intentionally)" "Oh, that's alright". And the world is amazed at how "criminal" and "evil" the world is........little wonder, no?
just a thought.......
Politics derives from Polite and Politeness (i think)
Politics is all about men (and the occasional woman) getting up and twisting/creating the "truth". It's all a game of seperating Fact from Fiction.
Anyhow, i'm lead to the conclusion that being "polite" is another way of saying "lie/cheat/steal but "nicely"". What a load of bullcrap, eh?
If you don't get it, imagine this.
Say, you have an annoying workmate, who you can't really stand. They bug you all day. When it comes to your turn to respond in yet another conversation with them that you didn't really want, you have a few options;
1.Run away
2.Outright tell them that you hate them and they are loud/annoying/whatever
3.Be "polite" and pretend to be interested.
How many of you pick 1 or 2? i know many a time where i have picked 3, because it's "polite". While this doesn't stretch the boundary of "lies" bear with me.
Now, along in the conversation, they go away and do something else. You're relieved. Later in that day, they call you asking to have lunch with them. Again, a few options;
1.Run away
2.Tell them again that you hate them and turn them down "rudely"
3."Politely" that you have an appointment with someone else/have to be somewhere and therefore cannot come. ("Oh crap, my cat's on fire and i accidentally left the cake outside" That kind of thing)
Now, number 3 is just plain lying. Thus, this is the extent of "manners and politeness". Sure there are exceptions where the simple "thank you" does wonders because somehow, in just 2 measly words, you have conveyed an oupheload of love/trust/whatever. "Excuse me" on the other hand, i don't think i can find any fault on, at this point in time. Ware, it's merely a way of shouting "I'M HERE NOOBS GET OUTTA MAH WAY", "politely". "You're welcome" is probably just something that evolved over time as a response to "thank you" so.....
hmph. Writer's block. ah, well, can't have em all.
Until then, Stay sharp, Have Fun and good luck. Whatever you're doing.

philosophical blog no?
philosophical? bah! and i do belive there is a comma, no? huhu..
funny blog, lolz
You should totally write a blog entry proving that the sky cannot be proven to be objectively blue, that I really was intending on leaning forward to draw on your crotch, and that people should take you seriously.
In order to prove that I really was trying to draw on your crotch you really could've just quoted me, because I said those exact words. How did you overlook that?
Wait, who actually takes brendan loi seriously?
Wow, a whole blog entry without "huhu" or "hoho" or "hmm(?)". I don't think it has spelling mistakes either. Like how you spelt "Athiest" "Aethiest" and "Separating" "Seperating". Sorry, just have to point those out to annoy you. XD.
("Oh crap, my cat's on fire and i accidentally left the cake outside" That kind of thing) is hilarious.
Politics is derived from poly-, meaning 'many', and ticks, which are fiendishly annoying bugs. Therefore, politics is merely a superabundance of fiendishly annoying bugs, and you can't say that this argument is illogical.
