For the last time, it was nothing against you personally, why wont you believe me?
Last question: was it trolling/childish revenge for some perceived slight elsewhere or are you just not very bright?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieSo you think that I think that what I call "outrageous restrictions" are justified? My use of the word "outrageous" was what... too intellectual?

Originally posted by FMFLOL, honestly eff emm eff, i gotta go, i am just gonna make you more frustrated and i seriously dont want that, however, let me say this, when you stated that the restrictions were outrageous, which they are, you also left the assertion, somewhat open ended, by stating, 'was it worth it', in my own mind, this created confusion, what indeed was the import of these words, for here on the one hand eff emm eff is stating that the restrictions are 'outrageous', yet he may be harbouring some thoughts that it could be justifiable, if it helped economic stability. Is that not the case?
How many times are you going to edit your post after I have already responded?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieWhat makes you think I might support repression in Singapore?
look i was responding to the article you posted, cited in the economist, it terms the government of Singapore a 'good government', naturally, i have issues with that, that is the tact i have taken, it is nothing to do with you personally, unless of course you are a staunch advocate of that system, which as yet, has yet to be determined.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou said you did not want to detract from Singapore's economic "success". You said this, even though JWs - to cite just one example of repression - can be arrested in their own homes basically for being who they are. So, I said to you: surely the economic success - the 'trade off' as sh76 put it - simply is not worth it?

And you interpret this as me "harbouring some thoughts that [the repression of JWs] could be justifiable?
Originally posted by FMFyes that is correct, it was a mere side issue in response to sh67 point about human rights issues. Now i think you will agree, that is something entire different from economic issue, did i not state, how that i cannot see how one has a bearing upon the other?

Originally posted by FMFyes i did, in fact, i even asked you to confirm or deny what those threats were, for that's how it really did appear to me, if I was mistaken in this regard, then, yes i apologise.

Originally posted by Palynkai dont want to hijack FMf thread, thats why, for i was conscious that it may happen, but despite my best efforts, that is what has transpired - sigh
I wrote something to detract about Singapore's economic success but you two didn't seem to care. What's the big deal here?
