the world is sick and you are to blame

Countries that own massive deposits of oils and other natural resources often contain some of the poorest down trodden people the in world.

• Nigeria: oil rich, population severely repressed by rich dictators.
• Iraq: oil rich, civilians bombed every day by American troops "freeing" them.
• East Timor: one of the world’s great submarine oil and gas deposits, more than 42 per cent of under-fives seriously underweight

Whenever an official is elected in any of these countries who has the guts to stand up to countries plundering their resources (often wealthy countries: Iraq and America, Australia and East Timor) then the official is soon declare "communist" paving the way for a new corrupt official willing to sell his countries resources to the super powers for kick backs.

What's the worst thing about this: YOU maybe helping to create this situation, by electing moral monsters in power, The Democratic Party, The Republican Party, The Australian Labour Party.

It is your duty to those less fortunate than you, to educate yourself as to what parties of the people you elect have done in the past.. what they may do. Otherwise you yourself are complicit in the malnutrition of children, the deaths of millions of innocent people.

Hugo Chavez helped to improve the condition of the lives of the vast majority of his population who were living in slums by taking resources from the oil riches and pumping it back to those who need it most the poor. To honour this achievement he has been slandered in the press owned by the wealthy who used to be stealing those resources for themselves.. how bitter they are. How much longer will he be able to maintain power and be a voice for the poor? Now there's an issue worthy of educating yourself about, a country full of people who will slip back down towards poverty if we let The Republicans have their way. Would the Democrats even help them? How about you find out.

I watched this video on youtube about what it's like to be high and saw the following comment which I thought was pretty hilarious:

"yeah, um, weed isnt like this AT ALL!!! im fuckin high right now & it aint at all like that, geeze, even wen i am high i have more common sense then u wen ur sober, everything looks exactly the same, just in ur mind u just might find the same things more entertaining, & u feel weird & dnt remember wut u did 5 minutes ago, 2 tell u the truth, i dnt remember even starting 2 write this, & my eyes is burning,.... RLY RLY BAD, oh, shit, this is bad, i g2g"

Hello English people who read my blog who might not be familiar with wonderful things from Singapore. Please read xiaxue's blog. I think she is great:

xiaxue.blogspot.com
Not only is she awesome she criticizes apple users. I hate apple users. I tried to do it on my blog before but it ended up like technical bullshit and it wasn't funny. She does it well.

There's some advertisement on her blog to be her BFF. That'd be cool. We could sit on the wall and throw stones at apple fans together.

lots lah

In the last few weeks my family and friends all visited me in Singapore. Then I got married. Today I resigned. Next month I'm moving back to England.

It is all kinda weird. Singapore is safe and clean and the food is great. I'm kinda getting used to it. England seems in turmoil and I'm worried to go back:

1. FUCKING Daily Mail readers. Fucking useless idiots. In 19forty-whatever the editor of the Daily Mail sent a telegram to Hitler praising him. They supported the Nazi party for a good long while. Has anything changed at all? That asshole paper is filling the minds of British citizens with vitriolic xenophobia. If you read the daily mail go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself hard anally with a typhoon. Really.
2. People punctuating every few words with "sort of". In Singapore it is "lah" which I used to think was irritating but now it seems okay and at least it is done in moderation. However, sort of, every few words, sort of, the British, sort of, say "sort of". Damn it just shut the hell up. They talk talk talk without a single breathing hole, ensuring every tiny gap in the sentence a person where a person can interject is also filled with some garbage.
3. Stabbing (and crime in general). England is going stab crazy at the moment. People being stabbed left right and centre. I'm almost too scared to walk down the street for fear of having to defend myself from every side. I'm also fully aware that the newspapers are just advertising the next big "frightener". "Aw them yokels 'aint afraid of marijuana anymore, what next? How about: STABBING". Whether it's legitimate or not I don't care it sucks.
   

I will not miss people being able to spell and use English though, and I will lose the 500 kg or whatever I've been on eating the great food here.

back

I disabled my blog when the Singapore government starting throwing people in jail who criticised their legal system which is used as a tool by the ruling party to crush opposition. If anyone actually read my blog other than people employed by the government to go around checking for dissident voices I wouldn't have deleted it. Either have an effect or shut up I guess?

i am was become 733+ again

I've been messing around with computers again to learn stuff to avoid wasting time. I used to do this shit all the time but lately I've become lazy.

So recently I've been configuring mutt (the mail client of the Gods) to use gmail and my work mail correctly so I can stop pissing around with awful web interfaces. And DAMN is it good. Even better than I remember it in the old days. Just use the development version, without header-cache, thread views and smtp support it would be a sad thing.

Then I made vim spellcheck .txt files (and mutt temporary files so it spellchecks my outgoing e-mail).

they don't speak for us

Cannabis has been upgraded back to class B against the advice of a council of experts because of the "personal feelings" of a few rich men who have no idea how it feels like to live as a citizen in the country in which they live. I collected a few comments from other websites that I thought were very intelligent none of these are mine:

"Source: wiki... Despotism is a form of government by a single authority, either an individual or tightly knit group, which rules with absolute political power. In its classical form, a despotism is a state where one single person, called a Despot, wields all the power and authority, and everyone else is considered their slave. This form of despotism was the first known form of statehood and civilization; the Pharaoh of Egypt is exemplary of the classical Despot. Henseforth you shall be Brown, Pharaoh of Kircaldy."

"However, the thing that concerns me most has nothing to do with pot smoking but something far more fundamental. This decision sets a scenario where fear, hysteria and misinformation take precedence over scientific reason. The council are experts who take into account the evidence for the concerns we have about an issue; if they have done their job thoroughly then, whatever our personal feelings about an issue, scientific reason must prevail. If not then we might as well go back to the witch-hunting days of Salem, where fear and hysteria ruled and scientific reason was unheard of. If we value a fair and just society, this is a very dangerous step to take."

"Why is cannabis use illegal? It can't be because it's dangerous. We don't criminalise motor racers, boxers or people who drink themselves into an early grave. So why? I don't know the answer, but for all my adult life I have felt that the police love to stop and search young people. The possible possession of cannabis provides a reason. I can't be the only one who is horrified at the thought of some silly young person going to jail for years for such a harmless activity."

"How is it right to classify canabis (and I'm not suggesting that it's harmless) in the same category as Amphetamines? Even the strongest skunk is not going to fuck you up like amphetamines. I also take issue with "it's stronger so it gets people more dangerously wasted" because if I drink beer and then move on to whisky, I can work out that I don't need to drink as much to get me the same level of drunk. So from a lung cancer point of view smoking skunk may be less bad for you than smoking bog standard grass."
