Pigs Aren't Stupid...

Who says pigs are stupid?

Well, somehow the Hongkees have a saying, stupid like a pig(chun dou chek chu gam yeong)... i think that is where we are accustomed to relate stupidity with pigs...

It pains me to see how such a useful animal is being degraded...and did not receive the recognition it supposedly should have...

If u ever watched the much debated MTV of namewee, u should read the comments below... especially from other races...giving opinions is something...but using insults to scold someone is another...and somehow, this has erupted into another racial issue, and if u read further on, pigs are in the thick of action...

Just how stupid are pigs? I don't have any statistical data here, but i do not believe that they are any more foolish nor smarter than any other animal in the animal kingdom...they are animals, correct, and with the amount of these animals in the world, i think their survival rate is an excellent gauge to determine whether they are stupid enough to become extinct...if they are, i think we should see fewer numbers in this world...

I wish i had a book to understand why is it important to insult this animal? A religon that denies or despises a creation of God, has to have a good reason why they should hate it... A cow isn't consumed by Hindus because the Cow is believed to be holy, fair enough...but is it so, to pigs? No, pigs are always depicted to be dirty, stupid and a pollution to the enviroment. How about the story about the 3 little pigs and the bing bad wolf...of the three, one was smart enough to build a concrete house...in fact, three are smart enough to even build houses...but we cannot gauge simply on childhood stories, but what we can be sure is that pigs sweat a lot, and the mud they put all over their bodies is simply to cool off, as like many animals, like elephants, turtles, seals, walruses, and so on do it as well, only that they somehow still look acceptible, or blended with the soil so well that it doesn't make any difference, that we accept them and so no more of its dirtiness? If u ever had a pet, any pet would smell even after a few hours after its bath...there is no reason we should label pigs dirty, all animals, and people who don't bath, and with lewd thinking, are dirty as well...

All life forms cause waste...including plants, where the fruit u eat is sometimes waste of plants where nutrients that were not needed were accumulated in bright, nice-smelling fruits so that they attract animals or other life forms to remove their waste. Like they say, one man's meat is another man's poison...the poison or waste of plants, may be the much needed nutrients of another persons'...cows, goats, pandas, insects, even humans, cause waste...it is not just pigs that do so...so why victimise it? One should not speak just because they like it, but to somehow see that the words they depict makes sense or not...

Eating pork doesn't mean u will be as stupid as they say, eating tiger penis doesn't mean u can be strong, all night long... drinking bear bile doesn't mean u can be as powerful as them...but somehow, the psychology of aquiring the physical forms or the rumoured strengths of these animals encouraged people to consume them, and when people relate this further on, eating animals became a synonym with it, where animal characters are believe to directly absorbed when u consume them... Hmm..if that is so, wouldn't cannibals become the most intelligent humans on earth...because they eat the most intelligent being on Earth, humans?

I am personally dissapointed with people who are selfish, wealth-seeking, and inconsiderate. It is not only the yellow-skinned that are always wealth-seeking... caucasians, african americans, indians, everyone wealth-seeks...do not tell me that u do not want money...no one would reject having more in their pockets to spend, they only complain having less... we are depicted so simply because we are seen working day and night, non-stop, and always talk about the value of meney we have spent... we do care about what we are spending, because we know, we do not have any safety nets, if we go over the ridge...we earn so much, because we know, we have a lot of things that we want to have...to earn and aquire things with our own money is being independent, to aquire things and yet having to rely on others is being lazy...spending because we can, not just because we want to, is something that is the pride of that shouldn't been taken away, but to be understood and emulated, in order to improve oneself. To whine and grumble, or be green-eyed and jealous is being naive... pride is one of the seven sins, and i believe, though i am do not wear the cross, that because of pride, we have som much problems and become unwilling to change, because they would look stupid to change...the greatest nations in the world changed when in need, the Roman Empire changed their military tactics when they were not working, and formed a new tactic of having one single standard soldier called a legionary, rather than having different groups of hastati, triarii, and velites supporting the equites or horsemen, they conquered and beaten every single army after that, regardless of what they faced...the Japanese changed their policy of military might, after the World War, to focuse on industry, much to the disdain of everyone, and now, they monopolize markets all over the world with their goods...during these processes of transition, there is bound to be jeers, taunts, and hackles from the outside, and yet, pride of these people would've caused imminent halt to the changes in hand, but enduring the shame and change made them even greater...no one should be tied down by pride, but know that success is out there waiting to be taken... and pride should be thrown down in order to achieve success...Genghis Khan would've given up conquering China if he did not change his glory seeking hit-and run tactics...and embrace the much despised siege warfare and psychology tactics...by changing...he had crossed walls where calvary had failed to do so...and earned riches for beyond his dreams...

I do not subjugate any particular group of people, but to people who choose to be ignorant, and unable to swallow their pride because in fear of losing face...there is no shame in losing face, there is shame in having the knowledge to change but yet deny it because of face... There is a long way to go, and we have not yet earned that much face to be unable to put down...just put it down, and do whatever it takes to gain even more by changing...

There is no use in labelling people pigs...just because they eat pigs...the point is that they eat pork, and yet they could perform well, even with such insulting remarks on them...i do not recommend that we all do so, but to let us see that it doesn't matter at all, whatever you eat, but who you are, and what you can do and how you think that affects it...pigs are not stupid... ignorant men are...so don't eat them instead.....

44th or 50th??

Alright, today's the 50th Independence Day of my country. Ironically, i'm stuck at home while my siblings get to makeover, whilst i water the gardens of my house compound...3 times a day in fact...and i have to calculate the timing of each interval precisely from the second i wake up untill the last watering of the day...only then i realised how the heck did i manage it...and i wonder how much i am worth to my family compared to grass...mind you the grass is quite expensive u know...and i let my dear Jesse do her sculptings on it...a very very snobbish brat behaviour, but, its a better option than letting it poo on my couch...whatever...

Alright, i tried to make myself hyped for the whole Independence thingy...we're 50 years old...we must be proud of what we've accomplished...and we're moving on towards being an advanced country...blablabla...and suddenly i felt that i was yawning... brainwashing didn't help me at all...i just felt sick telling myself such BS...

We're not 50 years old yet...

Hello? Check the date, its 31st of August 2007, from what i know, Malaysia was formed on 16th September 1963, which clearly means, its not 50years old yet...What we are celebrating was the Independence of Malaya...not Malaysia...and i doubt the 2 states out there barely felt the hype..they're not concerned right? Well they have to, you gotta follow the majority...somthing sounds so familiar...i dunno how, but it seems like yesterday when i heard ppl telling me the same thing...yawn..watever...

Okay, then i cannot understand the need to celebrate this so early... hmm...in my point of view, its because it's Visit Malaysia Year...and having something like this means that the revenue increases tenfold...from what i heard, the hotels in KL are fully booked...i can hear the jingling sounds of coins...ah...revenue...its a very honest probability, don't u think?

The other one, well, let's not try to say too much about it... some guy did something similiar and he did it in a much classier way compared to mine, which i expect ppl unaccustomed to my relentless droning would collapse just about...now...

Wakey, wakey...let's continue...

Men try so hard to leave something behind...and to do so...we commemorate every single occasion when the need arises, to remind people, how far we've come, how much we've done, and keep voting for us...all those urging to register voters, and the magnificent hype they've tried to generate, i can really see elections coming real soon...and why not? With people still basking in such glory, they'll bound to be swayed by that...who wouldn't? Pompey did this before when the gangs struck Rome and almost burned it to the ground, coaxing the Senate to grant Dictatorship for him or Rome burns; Or, when Bush was famously accused of orchastrating the 9/11 attacks...which doesn't make much sense...but indeed intriguing to think about it for a second...nope..that is so mean to all the victims...i will not think about it...the point is, with big issues around, people are bound to be swayed by such matters...regardless by fear or by awe...

Okay...hold your horses..i can feel the accusations of traitors and opposition coming my way..the exactly same thing that happened in our Parliment this week, (interested read The Star please)..where anyone not shouting Merdeka as the backbenchers did was labelled traitor... Indeed, if that is the way we gauge patriots and traitors, then i think we'll need a large cesspit for the people we are about to hang for betraying the country...the questions is, Patriotism...why should we stereotype it? is it justified?

Its not just me who asked this, but hanging flags, singing anthems, buying national products, is it the only way to show patriotism? If that is so, then the flag vendors and prduce sellers will be whooping around...now there's a sure market for our goods...but honestly, is that an accurate way of deciding who's patriotic, who's not? A man can be selling AKs to our enemies, and drive the stuff on a national car...a man who's serving, and taking care by feeding the poor might just ride a Honda motorcyle...now who's patriotic? Can they be rated just because of the car they own? Can't we have our own way of showing our patriotism, or at least, be appreciated, especially those who worked silently in the back, and yet they do more good for the nation compared to those who boss people around, and accuse people as traitors just because they are influential, or have the means to campaign?

Campaigning for elections is a big issue, u have to deposit a large sum just to register, gain enough votes, and u'll get your money back, even if you lose, if you don't, then all that money is going down into the drain...now can we understand why its always the same people who register as a candidate? Even in ancient Rome, wealthy houses campaign by having names praised on the streets by hired people, and given bread, coins, and having tournaments just to create fame and sway people's minds so that they can, become Consul,(read the Republic of Rome. or S.P.Q.R. for further information) Can a poor person do so? Can a normal person do so? Is democracy really democracy? Or is it just an exclusive pool for the fish with enough matter? Then again, they can hit back at us and say this is Malaysia, not Rome...to me,we are not far apart, with the patricians ruling over the plebians alike...we have the rich flaunting the poor as well...

What we are allowed is to choose who to vote, and if the majority decides against you , you can only live by it...fair enough. But what troubles me is what if neither of them are qualified? Who do we choose then? We have counselmen raising palaces and operating businesses as they wish...and as Malaysians, we know very well taking up government-elected posts, one cannot own businesses or operate any...i wonder if they even know this? But who cares? Any accusation of graft, would be nullified with a little shove under the table...a man who obviously has too much income gets away with a minor offense, and he gets to be overseas as the judgement was read...there's a saying in Latin, "Quis custodes ipsos custodiries?" (correct me if i'm wrong) means "Who will guard the Guards? " Who can we trust, when the very top of the cake is all but rotting flesh? even if the base is still unscathed, have you the appetite to search further downwards? And yet, we must keep silent, as not to raise any offense to others, to such matters, should we keep silent? This concerns every single citizen, and the only offense i've made to is those who actually have blood on their hands, in this case, money on their hands...and i don't feel sorry to them...50 years, is that all we've progressed?

Okay look on the bright side,there's people who deserve to be labelled patriotic Malaysians, those who succeed in their own field and made names for themselves, they can feel proud, and we can be proud of them. We shouldn't race for every recognition there is like a child who seeks approval, or like Dumbeldore when he was young...but to receive honour bestowed upon deservedly, as we have really worked hard and proven ourselves...then that honour will be undiminished forever...

Two, those who really understand what Malaysia is all about, 50 years is no big deal, our neighbouring country is only 42 years, and they're a First World country, with toilets you'd safely put your arse upon without fear; whereas we are older, yet still a developing nation, and we cringe in fear whenever we have to go to a public toilet, by force...it's not that we must bow our heads down in shame only, but to understand what they have done to succeed, and work towards it...quality, not quantity matters...understand why students, like alot of my friends, have ventured there, because they know they have equal status there, they are measured in terms of success, not by race or religon...if our country were so, would they not stay?

I must mention the two kids, being asked about race, and they know better than we do. We pride ourselves in being tolerant...yet, when was the last time u scolded another person with racist remarks, in private? especially when we drive, i can understand the frustration on the road, but aevery now and then, we do it, even if we don't others do it still...and we just don't pay attention to such matters...The two kids, bless them. Not knowing isn't the key, but knowing that it doesn't influence anything does matter.When the joker on youtube sang the song, he was speaking out from his side; whereas there's a rising politician spoke from his side, they both received recognition from their sides, but the irony is the treatment, one is on the verge of losing even his nationality, the other is given endorsement to rise even further up the political ladder...it's a sad thing when these issues are brushed under the carpet, when it should be faced from day one. But we are so afraid... of what? I will not say it isn't fair, but treatment on similiar matters should be equal...or else, the balance will not be sustained...but who cares, we are all so selfish.

If they wanna sue me for this, they can, but i do not believe i have spoken a single word of racism, or drving the nation to chaos.

I spoke my mind, as a Malaysian, a patriotic one.

If this is banned, then there really is not democracy in this world.

PS: Do not make this a political issue. I am a free citizen.

Happy 44th birthday Malaysia!
