What I disagree with is the use of the word "cheating". It's politically incorrect, especially in this period when PAP is in a defamation fever. I'd rather call it... umm... "patching up the game".Jackson Tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267650599398779304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23000001.post-1145957951795252402006-04-25T17:39:00.000+08:002006-04-25T17:39:00.000+08:00That's why I wrote 'cheat'.It's like we are playin...That's why I wrote 'cheat'.<BR/><BR/>It's like we are playing a game of chess, but because it's my chess set I make the rule that you start without a queen. You have to play by my rules to even have a chance to play. <BR/><BR/>Technically I didn't cheat because it was agreed that you started without a queen. But obviously it isn't fair.<BR/><BR/>Of course if it were only a game you have the choice of looking for other players to play with. But in real life you don't really have a choice but to live with it until you have a chance to 'kope' the chess set :)The Negative Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963006548339423249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23000001.post-1145939139160604942006-04-25T12:25:00.000+08:002006-04-25T12:25:00.000+08:00I'm certainly not saying that PAP is incompetent. ...I'm certainly not saying that PAP is incompetent.

The PAP is not cheating. At least not according to the laws. But who sets these laws?<BR/><BR/><I>"Parliament is just a collection of 84 people in a room, and most of whom are there by walkovers."<BR/>- Mr Wang Says So</I>Jackson Tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267650599398779304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23000001.post-1145934435442733312006-04-25T11:07:00.000+08:002006-04-25T11:07:00.000+08:00Is the PAP a First World Government ? If you consi...Is the PAP a First World Government ? If you consider only the 'contents', such as its policies, then perhaps it is. It is usually not valid (nor safe) to suggest that the PAP is incompetent.<BR/><BR/>However, the way the PAP treats the opposition is certainly not First World standard. If you're better than your opponent, you're better than your opponent. What sort of message are you sending if you still need to 'cheat' ? <BR/><BR/>This reminds me the the ACS rugby player who bit the SJI player. ACS was winning by a significant margin. There was little doubt which was the better team. Then why the dirty tactics of biting ? It is said that rugby is a ruffian's sport played by gentlemen. Obviously there is one less gentleman in one team.The Negative Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963006548339423249noreply@blogger.com
