I can't believe that the last time i posted was in August, and that was when school started. So I have 3 life commitments now, work, study, and relationship. it is definitely ain't easy to handle. what happened with my social life >_<, non existent.
I just finished my final exam last week. 3 papers in a week, it was horrendous. I had an exam on tues afternoon, followed by another on weds morning. I ended up not sleeping at all. Thank goodness it's all over, at least for now.
So, what's the big news in sg? It's regarding 377A, an archaic law that says it's illegal for guys to have oral and anal sex with another guy. There have been debates, arguments thrown around whether to retain or repeal. Well, obviously the outcome is to retain the freakin' law, what can you expect from Singapore government. The government states that 377A will be retained but shall not be enforced. duhh... if it's not going to be enforced, why the hell do they retain it then....
the conservative "christian" is trumpeting victory over it. I have so many things to say bout this, but I wanna keep this posting short.
- it's down right hypocrisy (the act of condemning another person for an act of which the critic is guilty). the government allows the same sexual conduct to be legal for heterosexual. those people are mental, oral and anal sex are decent for hetero, but indecent for homo. one of the NMP (Nominated Member of Parliament) was equating anal sex with poking a straw into the nose..... duhh..... and she graduated from Harvard law school. I'm lost..
So why is it legal for hetero? cos they are doing it, as simple as that
-In theory, the government must protect each citizen equally, unbiased and it should be reflected on the law. But sadly, throughout the history of mankind, it has never been the case. Why should the "moral" values of the majority be taken as the absolute truth, when it's not. That's probably why there were laws in USA legalising slavery, banning inter-racial marriages, in Africa, apartheid, in m'sia, bumiputera policy. Humans are capable of horrible things....
-Then we have religions coming into the picture. I was a christian, and i emphasize on the past tense. Do I believe in god? yes, perhaps. Do I believe in the institutions claiming they are speaking on behalf of god? absolute no. Is this really what you call love? hate the sin but not the sinner. but is it really a sin? Remember when the church jailed Galileo for stating the world is round because it contradicts the popular belief held by the church that the earth was flat? How bout the ban of condoms by the church.... That's what I call archaic.
It's fine if they want to impose such rules in their community (this would be another debate) but they should not impose their moral standards to others. Arrogance
-Homosexual is not a mental problem. the world's community of psychologist has agreed on that. the debate has been raging regarding the cause of homosexuality, between nature versus nurture. Certain studies have shown that it's in the genetics, and such trend has been seen on other species as well. How many ex-gay are there? does it really work? doubtful.
Singapore still has a long way to go to come out from their shell.
gotta go back to work. cheers.
