So, who’s doing the judging? The Pope? Lau Lee? Or your favorite pay and pay ministers?

“So please can you explain why it was only after I posted that one comment on your blog, that you have inundated my blog with personal insults. Don’t tell me you never knew I existed before that.”

I don’t remember insulting you personally. Neither have I insulted your friends,relatives or stuff like that. If you think healthy criticism is insulting, then perhaps your OB marker is too pervasive.

So I should get off my high horse? Hmm…..last I heard you are the one with the high horse….not me….you want to be a Pay and pay minister, not me.

As for being a young man, being young does not mean I cannot give concise criticisms. Perhaps you might want to find something better to illustrate your criticisms.

I’ll leave it to readers to judge for themselves whether that is within the bounds of acceptable free speech in Singapore.

“Oh, so you think I am hitting at you because of one pathetic comment?”

So please can you explain why it was only after I posted that one comment on your blog, that you have inundated my blog with personal insults. Don’t tell me you never knew I existed before that. I have posted many conservative viewpoints in the 1.5 years I’ve been blogging. Never once did you criticize me. Get off your high horse and admit your own small mindedness and hypocrisy. Grow up, young man.

Wrong: I consider George Carlin, Lenny Bruce and Howard Stern as champions of free speech.

As for liberalism, Thomas Paine is someone I think fits the bill.

Unlike you, I am not big headed enough to assume the roles of giants. We have greatly profited from them in a sense, and I shall not debauch their memory in a bid to boost my ego.

Yes….Criticizing Islam is equivalent to criticizing Muslims….if I criticize Microsoft, and I criticizing every staff in Microsoft?

Again, you don’t get it do you? My point was to offend the establishment,and to a certain extent, the religion, because they are attempting to deny our kids the right to eat pork! Isn’t that offensive as well?

Oh, so you think I am hitting at you because of one pathetic comment? You are more small minded than I think.

Free speech and liberalism doesn’t mean I cannot criticize. Its the exact polemic of that. If you don’t know kindly watch the Penn and Teller show, Bullshit. Oh, I forgot. You don’t watch profanity. You prefer baby talk and infantile speech.

My advice to you: If you cannot handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

I’m guessing the reason why you are so intent on criticizing my person instead of my views is because I wrote ONE critical comment on your blog. (And that because you wrote something very offensive to Muslims.) So now you’re trying to hit back at me for the offense you took to my comment. How noble of you, you self-proclaimed champion of free speech and liberalism.

1. Curbing of free speech.

2. Stopping people from criticizing religions.

3. Assuming you are Christian and definitely a fundie, you are anti homo as well.

4. You love to pander to Singapore journalists who don’t respect good journalism.

5. You want people to stop eating pork in halal foodcourts. As a matter of fact, you want people to stop eating pork.

Ok. That’s what I get from you so far. There should be more. I don’t know your views regarding the death penalty, torture and the internal security act, but I have a pretty good hunch that you support these laws.

As you keep writing, I will keep criticizing.

The issue with SDA is not a case of anti-liberalism: It is more of a heinous government propaganda to vilify and demean those who stand in their way.

If liberalism doesn’t work, you might as well check out which are the most progressive industrialized nations: Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, France and Holland are considered the most liberal nations, and they have very liberal systems of government. Even the old man conceded to their liberalism, although he thinks it doesn’t work in Singapore.

Like I said, conservatives like yourself will never understand the meaning of universal suffrage.

I don’t agree with many of the heavy-handed tactics of the Govt either. If you’ve been following my posts, you’d see.

Conservatism is not about curbing freedoms. Neither is liberalism about freeing us from these curbs.

You seem to think that Singaporeans are looking for left wing liberals to lead the govt. Why then did voters utterly reject them at polls, while endorsing the more left of centre parties like the WP and SDA?

I think there should be space for left wing liberals to express themselves, but please don’t kid yourself and think that they represent the views of the majority of Singaporeans.
