    Frankly, We Couldn’t Care Less But We’d Rather You Stay Away From Our Little Hive Of Scum & Villainy

    An incident happened, which is both ridiculous and sad.

    Why my rather thoughtless comment created a maelstrom which soon I get sucked for I really have no idea. I can’t help but feel I was picked on and singled out, after I was subsequently told by a friend that the entire group of them were already acquainted with one another from the already notorious Cowboy Bar – an online wretched hive of scum and villainy.

    The question posed on Plurk was simple - “You see a man and woman arguing on the street, and the guy starts grabbing the girl and shaking her around. Step in / don’t step in?”. Your response to “not step in” obviously exposed your lack of civic consciousness and also maleness. Did you expect any less?

    And then you go and write a long rant about why you are right , citing reasons like “the girl could be a prostitute” and how Singaporeans are all simple-minded biased sheep.

    Worst of all, you decide that everybody against you are part of a group called “The Cowboy Bar” which you deem “an online wretched hive of scum and villainy”.

    So in summary, when your opinions are not accepted with glee, then basically everybody is against you and you feel the need to blog about it to vindicate yourself. Also, you need to insult them.

    Geez! Checkout the maturity of this dude

    We feel sorry for you and your superiority complex.

    • “Centrepoint Kids” is a term used to describe the social phenomenon of groups of youths who used to hang out at shopping complexes in Singapore during the mid 1980s. Other similar moral panics that have appeared in the Singapore media includes the McDonald Kids (early 1980s), the Marina Square kids (early 1990s), the Far East Plaza Kids (1980-3 and re-lapse again in mid 1990s) and Daimaru Kids (1983-6). #

      What to Read Now. And Why - The fact is, no one needs another best-of list telling you how great The Great Gatsby is. What we do need, in a world with precious little time to read (and think), is to know which books—new or old, fiction or nonfiction—open a window on the times we live in, whether they deal directly with the issues of today or simply help us see ourselves in new and surprising ways. #
