Democracy gone wrong? - follow up

Ok I've regained consciousness, and I should be ready to keep whinging.

I think the civilization has made the law too soft on a number of things, including so called rights. If someone violated other people's rights, should it be property, privacy, living etc, shouldn't othat offender be deemed to surrender whatever rights they have? Why should an offender's right be protected when that person clearly acted to deprive their victim of their rights? Two wrongs doesn't make it right, but sometimes an eye for an eye MIGHT be reasonable??

I know the law must be objective (yeah right, good in theory), but punishment needs to fit the crime. I don't understand why people like pedophiles and serial killers are put in prison where the victims of the crimes, as taxpayers, are indirectly funding to keep them alive while they are not making any contribution to the society. If we put ourselves in the shoes of crime victims, will we be able to live with the thought that offenders are being let off easy while you might not have another night's sleep in peace?

This self debating is doing my head in, clearly it's not a suitable day to finish a post like this, but meh, it does pay to bitch and moan.......

Democracy gone wrong?

Ok, I have been a bit sick recently, swine flu or not, don't really care. As directed by our government, they not going to test me for it anyway, they won't give me viral infection drugs, just stay home and watch personal hygiene. I did exactly that (I wonder if this was what happened to the first H1N1 casualty here, as the media reported "the man was obese and diabetic but otherwise healthy"). So let's wait to see if I live or not, I'd say live most likely, as the saying goes, true evil lives forever!

Anyways, I was browsing for random stuff on the internet after tiring from looking at all the men with packages on the net (well, I'm sick, but I'm not dead....). I've came across an article a while back about a guy in Sydney found an intruder on his property, managed to overpower him and sat on him until police arrived (I found the sat on the thief part very funny). However, the catch was, the 19 yo intruder was breathless and/or no pulse by the time police arrived, he had to be taken to hospital after having CPR performed on him. Now the authority will also investigate whether the burglary victim used “reasonable force" and will he be charged for anything.

Well, from my point of view, this is definitely out of space crazy......as many of the comments left for that article shows, majority of the readers did support what the burglary victim did and elaborated that they might do the same or worse to the burglar should they found themselves in this situation. I totally agree, if I find someone in my yard trying to break into my house, or worse, in my house stealing things, I'd assume that my personal and my family's safety is at stake and put up a fight to defend myself. The "reasonable force" is just a typical case of democracy gone crazy and give too much rights to people who do not deserve it. How do you determine what's reasonable? By asking Mr. Burglar how much things he's planning to take? If he would like to just bound you while he escape? How about if he would like to keep any of your or your family member's body parts as a little something extra? Or give your children to him just see to what extend he intends to mutilate them?

As human (which evolved from primitive animals), the urge to protect ourselves and defend our territory is in our genes. To ask someone to decide what's "reasonable" force to defend himself while he's in a potentially deadly situation is just stupid. The person standing in front of you can pull out a weapon anytime, would you rather give him that opportunity? Good on the guy for what he did, and if anything happens to the intruder, I agree with most people, TOUGH LUCK! Should have thought about consequences before violating someone else's privacy and property!

Ouch....headache....to be continued

Depressed

Sigh.....two people won the biggest jackpot of the history - 50 MIL each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And by now you would know I'm not fing one of them! On top of that I've got some flu symptoms which I hope is not you know what.....

Really appreciate Doctor007 to read my blog, even the old entries that I kinda forgot about. As I've said before (I can't remember if I actually said it before), every single person who takes time to read my blog is quite meaningful to me. I'd definitely try to keep up the posts.....well....no promises.

Yawn and Cough.....now I'm dying and still need to work! SIGH.......

Re-newed

Ok, I've used too many "Back" as title and it's getting tired, much like the farewell tours of the stones, Cher, even Kylie Minogue; well she hasn't had a farewell tour yet but I believe hers is LOOOONG overdue. There, I said it, I'm here, I'm queer and I hate Kylie Minogue!



I took a nice and relaxing holiday to the busiest city in the world, Tokyo. It was very interesting to observe the culture and people, take a break for my life in one of the most exciting city in the world and just being a slob that wonders around, it's F*#Kin great! I love the fact that even tho that was the most densly populated city in the world, it's possible to have minimal human interaction and get by. As I don't speak any Japanese, the vending machines were are big help, you buy almost everything from them, ticket, drink, lunch etc etc.....I love machines........

Anyways, I'm back now and all re-charged (only for like 30 min after I got back), I'm ready to grunt and rant and carry on like the old me. So, same old same old really.......

The biggest thing for me is probably that I went to a gay bar with a friend, for the first time of my life! It was quite interesting, as the straight bars I've been to here, the staffs were not as enthusiastic and not that interested to chat with you. Maybe we went at a bad time, the bar was very very quiet, but the bartenders were quite engaging, making conversations and cracking jokes, it was quite good! As the night went on, more people came and went, the bartenders were always chatting to ALL guests and ensured that no one was ignored, even facilitated pick ups! The gay "scene" I've seen had given me quite good impression and I'd definitely go back after I've learned some Japanese!

Stupid phone systems

Seems like my waiting to get sick plan did not turn out the way I hoped, so I'm back at work today.

During my lunch (ahem) time, I tried to access my personal email. After 5 attempts, it seems like somehow my password was not working (altho I suspect they cut the brakeline on my keyboard), so I've decided to call the ISP to have this sorted out.

It took a good 5-10 minutes for the huge menu of various phone numbers of each department to load, and you have to browse through so many tabs you think every single employee in the company has their direct line published!

Found the number I need, beauty, here we go......"Hello, to help us service you better, in a few words, please tell me the reason for your call today..." DAMN automated voice system! Why the F*#& would you list 200 phone numbers for different "departments" when all of them will go to the same fricken auto system???? Wouldn't it be making sense to list a single customer service number? Then there's the typical crap:

"cable internet"
"you have an internet related inquiry, is that correct?"
"yes"
"is that dial up, dsl, or cable"
"cable, and i told you that 1 second ago!"
"ok, do you want to speak to technical, accounts..."
"technical"
"is the internet registered at the phone you calling from"
"No"
"please enter your home phone number"
"....F*#&$ YOU!!!"
"I'm sorry, your entry was not valid, please key in your telephone number..."

I was about to put my fist through the phone....it took me another 5 minutes or so to reach a human to simply change my password.

Those companies are seriously screwed up somewhere I tell ya

Another Sunday

Sleepy yet don't want to sleep........

Had lunch at a nice little cafe with a friend today, half way through our meal (which was nice), two guys sat next to me and I could be 95% sure that they were a gay coupe; so I just "casually" looked over every 5 seconds, both of them were good to look at hehe, that made my lunch extra enjoyable.

After I got home, didn't really do much, played a bit of PS3, even tried vocal on Guitar Hero, it was a pretty horrible sight (and sound) to be honest. I really feel sorry for my neighbours if they heard anything by accident, which I don't think they did god bless them.

Pretty much didn't do much more than that, now it's passed mid night and I really hope I'll be hit by some illness where I cannot go to work and have to rest for a few days......

Perving

OK, let's face it, we all do it, to different extends.

While I was giving my friend a lift home, we virtually spent the entire trip perving at guys we saw in the streets and commenting. P.S. not a very good idea in peak hour traffic to keep staring away from the direction you are traveling.

Well for me, I love to look at all the fine looking gents in the streets. Of coz not the psycho stalker stare......or is it? Guess that's another post....

When think about it, I perv at pretty much all the guys I see in streets. The ones that catches my eyes the most are the businessmen in suits that's neat and tidy, or the construction guys working around the block; also the policemen etc. Altho yesterday we were focusing on the guys jogging by the roadside, looking really good lol. My friend even said "wow that's really big, wonder if they just fly commando??"

About the body parts, i always look at calves and forearms, then virtually undress them with my eyes LOL. I found eyebrow quite a sexy feature too.

Let's share about all the pervs we do daily eh?
