I hate people who do not reply or even look at me when I say hello. I don't know if that's what their parents taught them or if it's acceptable where they're from.
But that is just plain fucking rude. I have a major gripe about Asians. More for Singaporeans than any other nationalities, though. They're not warm, friendly or inviting to anyone they don't know. The root of the problem is probably their lack of trust in a stranger. The government instills so much fear in us that we're paranoid about each other.
I have seen how professionals in Singapore do business, and it sickens me to no end. There is no more honesty. They is no more sincerity. Everything and everyone has just turned into one rude ball of clusterfuck. You've seen it before, probably... someone laughing on the phone, probably speaking to an important client or someshit and when he/she hangs up, they go: "MOTHERFUCKER!!"
In related news, our National Day just passed. For one day in a year, we celebrate at how we've blossomed. The nation is advancing, but the people aren't. Well there are a small number of people who are courteous, eloquent and honest, but those numbers are drowning in an overwhelming sea of kampung people, which, I feel... is everyfuckingwhere.
Here's something that bothered me alot. First there was a Speak Proper English campaign. Not long later, they started a Speak Mandarin campaign. First of all, I don't get these campaigns, because Singapore is a salad toss of hundreds of nationalities and dozens of ethnicities. Uniting them won't be easy... especially when they're not properly educated.
Second... make up your fucking mind. Which one do you want your Chinese citizens to speak? Not only are you confusing them, you're making everyone else go: "WTF?"
You know, I bet the next campaign will be Speak Proper Tamil, because the way I see it, they're coming in by the boatloads and I don't think they'll stop in the near future.
Don't get me wrong. I am not racist. I can't be, because I even hate my own race. So I have come to a conclusion that most parts of the world house idiots and rude fucks who think that they own the world.
By the way, I think most of the education system in the world is...
crap.
You can't judge a kid or student on how well he can absorb information, because it'll never be retained in his head forever unless he does it everyday for the rest of his life.
Go ahead, ask ANY 30 year old about a topic he learned in college that has nothing to do with his current job. Learning is lifelong and I salute people who think that because they've figured out that people can actually forget everything they learn.
I'd prefer calling that Mid-Term Memory (see the double pun?). It's neither short-term nor long-term... so that's what it is. I'm being random right now.
By the way, I'm not a pompous ass who thinks he's all that because I've pointed out a lot of negatives about the human race. I know I'm not smart. I know I'm not clever.
But what does retaining information have to do with intelligence? I feel that true intelligence is in-born. Geniuses, prodigies... alot of them in the early part of Man's existence. These days... not so much.
Those geniuses who get concepts and pick up quick due to a higher level of logic or accelerated brain activity whose neurons fire a million times quicker than an average person. Scientists who can split an atom, splice genes and create energy through nuclear fission. Those are geniuses.
But I'm not talking about that. Them, I don't even expect to meet.
