small rant on how stupid people can be

because I don't feel like sleeping yet.

Well, reading Today over dinner, there were 2 things that raised my not-very-hard-to-raise anger, which is nothing new because there is ALWAYS something to rage about. However this time I think it was particularly retarded.

1) Negligent driver screws up 1 person's life from injuries and the other person dies. Her original sentence of 18 months jail was reduced to (get this) 1 day and $2000 fine.

Obviously this is fucking stupid because while 18 months is a bit on the low side (for a max penalty of 5 years I believe) the new sentence doesn't do anything, I mean holy shit if you have your own car 2k is peanuts and so is 1 day in jail. I'm of the opinion that this is because the person that died was an Indonesian maid riding pillion so obviously no one cares and therefore you can have this idiot (lol woman driver joke here) win an APPEAL for a sentence where she shouldn't even have the right to appeal. You killed someone and still have the guts to appeal for a lighter sentence GJ evidently no remorse felt. Saying you'll donate the extra money to charity is just for the news because the maid left behind a 1 year old child and there was no mention of how she was going to be cared for.

If the person who died had been say a 10 year old singaporean kid you would see everyone crying out for harsh punishments, omg why gahmen never enforce traffic safety, but now its a maid lol indonesia has 19135819581 maids so no one gives a fuck. Yay for justice.

2) The same people who do this complain that students lack social manners and behave badly in public, and write letters which incriminate the school (describing uniform/name) to the forum and whining about why there's such a problem. Well

a) because 1 group of students misbehave doesn't mean the school failed in its mission, nice generalization there. the whole tarnish the school reputation thing, well there's always one idiot who will do such a thing is it that hard to ignore? furthermore the crime in question was NOT RETURNING TRAYS AFTER EATING IN MAC'S AND TEACHER NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. sure i try to return my tray and it's not good to not return but do you have to write to a newspaper to complain about this.

b) schools aren't the problem, it's parents. this point has been brought up countless times and still people refuse to listen and continue to defend lack of corporal punishment etc. because ITS MY PRECIOUS CHILD. well if your precious child is a complete and utter fucktard pls2punish him instead of letting him screw up society more. schools can't do shit already because of all these regulations so it's the parents' duty, the teachers did not apply to be a surrogate parent. complaining about the school isn't going to help because i'm sure they do their best to prevent this but at the end of the day if the student refuses to listen it's not their fault. punishment is meant to enforce something and used as a deterrent, i grant you that working out something amicably is probably better but sometimes you have to use a harsher measure to get a point across. similar to the $2k fine it's pointless if your punishments don't make the students regret doing something they shouldn't be doing.

what i have learnt from newspaper reading: if you go on a rampage negligently killing indonesian maids well just have a couple thousand saved up for each one you kill

tldr: every day i read of more idiots and it's amazing how the flow never stops

Death

Today we shall mark the passing of this blog. Due to it's inactivity and loss of significance in the blog writers' lives (one has stopped emoing o_O and another has found facebook (finally)), I shall henceforth be closing down this blog and I'm not gonna be bothering with it anymore. Thank you for all the help you have provided over the year(s).
