Man who disclosed intent to burn voting slip, ballot box arrested Quote:
A Singaporean's right to vote is slowly turning into a liability. No wonder we have some people who wanted to burn ballot boxes - funny that none of the contesting politicians issued a statement to address the issue.

Obama COLB raises more questions than it answers.

One must wonder, that if there was so much conspiracy around the time of Obama's birth to make him look like an American citizen...
Why didn't they just arrange to have him born in the United States? |

I guess there maybe a class-action lawsuit brewing. http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/atto...ve-926236.html Quote:
I've always maintained that the "Patriot movement" is 40% truth, 40% absolute nonsense, and 20% unknown. In so far as this "birther" thing, it would seem to be utter nonsense to me. I thought the FEC checked for a candidate's eligibility for the Presidency during the election cycle. Considering that when Obama was born a babtismal certificate (that's all I ever had) was good enough to get a driver's license and/or a job in some states, I'm not surprised if he doesn't have a state issued birth certificate. Things weren't so damn strict or rigid back then. Therefore, I agree Vexx, this is becoming a "dog-and-pony" show and is certainly red-meat for Obama's opponents. Same thing happened with McCaine. I see it as all a needless distraction by both sides. Also, I hope Heinlein was wrong. I can't imagine living in a Christian Theocracy...I'd rather die. Quote:
In particular his Health Care law which 46% of Americans would like to see repealed according to Gallup I think that, and many other issues, is why people are looking for anyway to get this guy out of the Presidential office, and nullifying his election due to him possibly not being a citizen was one avenue. His race has very little (if nothing) to do with it, unless you're talking about the nutjobs over at Stormfront...then...well, you know. Quote:
I watched this clip on Youtube and the latest comment has got to be totally bupkiss. by RexLuscat: Quote:
Obama has got to be a natural born US citizen...otherwise, we in trouble.

It takes very little time to make the vote. ( I didn't even have to queue the last time i had to vote) If you don't like either party, just make some deliberate mistake to void the vote. And you get a holiday to boot. What the guy intend to do is just plain stupidity.

The problem is that all the politicians are pandering to the people of MY year of birth, namely 1988 because of the Dragon year baby boom. My lot is a rebellious and mostly highly educated lot, but as usual, 80+% are the same "consumer-type" bunch who don't do their research before buying or doing something important. Every generation contribute significantly to the bread and circuses bunch of the society. And the opposition is pandering to that group - I wonder how many of my age are level-headed enough to drop an empty or spoilt vote into the box; the banners around my area are subversive at best with slogans like "give them people's pressure". I have yet to see any of them address to the issue of incoming hyperinflation with a workplan, and Straits Times is being a bitch for not publishing my email to their forum. I think I would have better odds in the future if I start saving up for air tickets for my mum and me out of this place if shit hits the fan. For an average Singaporean, whatever policy they implement shouldn't affect our lifestyles much, unless : 1. Mediacorp is privatised 2. GST is raised (at a time like this? Please don't tell me we are going to pump money into Malaysia like what Germany did to PIGS!) 3. SGX merges with ASX. 4. Income tax rate is raised. I am for compressing government organisations to become flatter with more frequent rotations for higher ranking officials - especially MCYS. They should take out the goddamn "C" if the people they hire are not interested in pushing through bureaucracy or risk their jobs to get aid out to the needy. Quote:
@ TRL : You should have called your colleagues blown that goddamn article up to font size 14 and headline size 24.

My point is that the cop went overboard. You don't punch a unarmed woman that's half your size in the face as a man unless you're a total pussy, and that's what this "professional' Atlanta cop looks like. I don't know what it's like out where you're at, but here in Denver, that kind of behavior by the police isn't tolerated. Two Denver police officers fired in videotaped LoDo beating case http://www.denverpost.com/breakingne...839?source=rss As police become more bullish with the citizenry, the citizenry becomes more violent with them. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011...police-deaths/ That's a trend that needs to stop, and cops beating up on woman isn't going to help curb this trend. In fact, having a "the bitch got what she deserved" attitude is exactly what will escalate hatred between the police and the populus.

He's a pussy for defending himself and getting her to back the F' off? I'm sorry, but if a woman is grabbing your uniform while you are trying to cuff someone, and could claw your freaking eyes out while the situation is escalating, you do WHATEVER you have to do to get them to back off. I'm not being too harsh. I'm being very reasonable. Don't want to get hit by the police? Don't attack them or grab them. And don't even think about bringing size into this. Some of the meanest people on the planet, are in the 100-150 lb range.
Kind of like that little bully in the 4th grade(in Australia I believe?). After socking the big guy once, and trying for a second punch, he got body slammed into the pavement. Bet he won't bully anyone again. I'd give that policeman a medal. Just because you're a female, does not give you a free pass to do whatever the hell you want to do. Women have been crying for equality and equal rights and treatment for a century. Well you got it. Now you have to lie in that bed you made. |

Yes, he is IMO.
These men are supposed to be trained to handle a situation like this, and most departments issue a Discipline Handbook that details what's expected of them in these situations. Here's Denver's: http://www.denvergov.org/Safety/Home...7/Default.aspx There was no need to punch that woman and that is where he made his mistake. If he's slacked off and hasn't been training in hand-to-hand combat (as many officers do), then that is his fault. Maybe instead of stuffing his face in an IHOP he should be training in a dojo.
