This little email. (typed with the thousand yard stare....)

Here's an email i received from school early this morning:

Dear students,

You may know by now that Blogging is a very popular internet past time and may have
your own personal Blog site or participated in some.

Whatever your blogging experience, here are some very important info to protect you.

Recently 2 bloggers were charged under the Sedition Act for posting insulting and reckless racial comments on the internet. One of the blogger was jailed for a month while another was given a one-day jail term and a maximum fine of $5,000. (ST, Oct 8).

In another case of 5 junior college students punished for criticising 2 teachers and a vice-principal on the Net. These students were suspended for 3 days and their parents were also informed. (ST, Sep 27)

While you Blog, please stay on the right side of the Law and stay sensitive to other people around you. Do not blog on things that promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between different races or classes of the population of Singapore (Section 4 of the Sedition Act).

Students should use the blog appropriately and not to misuse it to arouse social disorder or 'flame' a person online. In a multi-racial society like in Singapore, every citizen or resident should respect other races and religions. As all Bloggers are personally responsible for what they blog, please be careful.

Regards

Well seems like noone has made any complaint of my condemnation of the *ahem* race. I wonder... they say...,"other races" in the second last sentence... which means it's okay to speak ill of your own race? or at least... the one stated on your IC? ... well....

Interesting... when i think that i'm actually quite well known to be a racist.

Jail term... 5 thousand... nah.. not worth it... i'll just do my evils on other mediums (like videos...and assignments and word-of-mouth.)

-------------------------------------------------------

oh yeah.. and the line about staying ont he right side of the Law and hmm..... not promoting feelings of ill will bla bla bla..... well ive seen many blogs doing that. :) ..otherwise what else is there to blog? business? adverts? announcements? ..... i say... it seems like we can only post up opinions..... but then again.... opinions are meant to be diverse as well right? there's bound to be someone who wont like what you write.

i just wonder what are the chances of anyone just browsing thourhg millions of blogs that get new posts thousands of times a day and then spotting a very very bad post and even taking the initiative to report it to somewhere.... wow... that person must be very hurt...

------------------------------------------------------

Then again... no matter what anyone does.. no matter what anyone posts.. no matter how good-good it is... there will definitely be a prick or two out there who wont be happy with it. If that''s the case.. that means everyone else can be charged for causing hurt, right?

Whatever.

Sarge: Get over here! Give me a boost!
Caboose: Ok.
Caboose runs up
Caboose:You are a good person -- and people say nice things about you.
Sarge: Not a morale boost, moron, a physical one. I need to see what's in that window.
Caboose: That window is very high. I don't think you are tall enough.
Sarge: I know. I need you to help me look through it.
Caboose: I don't think I am tall enough either. Also, my head is round. That window is square.
