Actually, OT aside, quite a number of students blogs(those that write about personal stuff) look rather similar to be frank. That being said, she's probably unfortunate that someone happened to read her blog and publicise her post. I certainly do not think that she is the only one that feels that way(though she may have been more acerbic than most in her expression of views), though she is probably the only one that "got caught", I shan't mention other names.
However, this is a general reflection of what I feel portions of my generation is like. I'll admit I'm guilty of that too sometimes, but it is too casual to simply blame it on education. It has more to do with culture, in some sense, though I'm pretty sure it's due to a myriad of factors associated with increased liberalisation in our society(perhaps a return to traditional chinese values would be better?). Personally I think it's part and parcel of a more vocal society rather than a problem with upbringing or education. With the existence of weblogging today, expressing one's "true" views have never been more prevalent. In fact, if you take a simple browse of teenagers blogs, you will find many similar angst-filled rants, though probably not as well expressed. You generally find blogs that express the same view as "what the f*** was that f***** thinking". Naturally, few people would be comfortable expressing such views in public, unlike somewhere that has been liberalised for quite some time, like America, for instance. In Singapore, much Asian conservatism still exists, though as subjects like drama are beginning to be introduced in schools, we may well see the development of more vocal Singaporeans in future. Vocal does not, by any means, translate to rude or aloof, but rather, it will mean a generation that is not afraid to speak their mind and is adept at speaking their mind with great clarity, even in public. I simply think that Singapore is currently in a period of transition, where such "in your face" postings tend to grate against public sensibilities and hence cause a public uproar. However, as society becomes increasingly liberal, such expressions of thought will become more widely accepted.
More importantly, I don't know how many of you noticed that it was a rant, but I think in all simplicity that's what it is. Honestly, many of my friend's blogs do read like that on occasion(typically termed random bitching and musing), so perhaps that's why personally I'm not offended outright by such a post. I believe, honestly, that there was no malice intended by such a post, as is true when you "bitch" people(the local term for it is "suan", i think). More often that not, if you don't look at it with so much gravity, it's actually rather humourous. I chuckled a couple of times while reading the post, to be perfectly honest, simply because I didn't start reading the post with the pre-conditioned belief that here was an unfeeling little fart who was beating down upon the common man with her great Western education.
Seriously though, if we desire a freedom to express, should anyone be condemned for their views in public? How will we promote freedom if we even quash unforgivingly what is said on a private diary(I still consider blogs as this)? Shouldn't every one be entitled to their own views? Why can't we slime PM Lee on prime time television without getting sued as Americans often do on Oprah, or on the Ellen Degeneres show(where Bush is typical cannon fodder)?
Simply put, our mouths are gagged, if only for the moment. It isn't safe to say more than that.
On a personal note, I always try to be careful of what I say in public(even here) and refrain from making personal postings on my blog(since you may never know who reads it).

adam go find eve lah... as for the itinery, u have to take your 300mm & follow along... :devil:
actually i think the girl in question is both vocal and rude.
i find no problem with language, like you said how the word 'f***' is being used liberally in some regions (just like 'sucks' :bsmilie: )
what's problematic is not with the language she used, but the intention of the writings, which i felt is rude. she has purposefully targetted her words against others who she probably do not have enough understanding of. freedom is one thing, responsibility is another, she has to take the consequences of her words, if not what kind of freedom is that?

On a personal note, I always try to be careful of what I say in public(even here) and refrain from making personal postings on my blog(since you may never know who reads it).
i don't really consider a blog a private diary, unless it is password protected and accessible only to accounts specified by the blog owner. blogs are easily accessible by public. entitlement to personal thought and views is one thing, expressing it openly in a public environment like the internet is another. it's about responsibility. for example, can a person start a thread on CS titled '???'s Private Blog' and inside it contains malicious contents against members within CS but written in perfect English?
It's not the vulgarity or choice of words. It's the entire condemning, condescending, insulting tone she chooses to adopt that has no respect for a fellow member of the same society she exist in. Even if in another corner where paths seldom cross.
Stoned: I think it's rather casual to dismiss such dismissive attitude to culture, even if you can see the inapproriateness. I know enough of people from the "culture" that supposedly have "invaded" ours, but they have way more respect for fellow folks than this young lady has show. Yes, even your generation.

Btw, I have this to say to the young lady's MP father's defence. From the examples of blogs being singled out by our leaders (for good reasons), this is double standards. If they are meant to be private, the leaders have no reason to single them out for any reason. Applying double standards is unbecoming of a leader.

Agree with complete allegiance... can i name u my brother? :thumbsup:
for the very fact that MrBrown was shot down for his unpolitical podcast, then the arrowing of talkingcork, i wonder how come its only that they listen to the views of those who sing to their tune than to understand the people who voted for them.
/time to go for my brainwashing session... :devil:

Actually if she is going to be our so called 'future leaders' since her dad was our 'leader' or maybe 'section leader'... do you guys think how would you be under her lead then? when she even shot down her maybe 同姓，五百年前一家人 '500 years ago same family' member? who knows that uncle wee might even be her uncle... its just funny that her almighty thoughts that if anyone who have her same surname who is of lower class is like a disgrace to her... and who just gave her an imperial status anyway?
She lacks of not just tact, she lack of alot of things, manners, empathy, social awareness, just to name a few... and i might be shot down here... but who cares... there is a saying... 上梁不正下梁歪，if the school taught her these, i guess we all would know what to do in the future, and for the better of our future... if its otherwise, then may god help us all... just got reminded of the class system in india, long long time ago in a time far far away (showing at a school near you)

When you bitch, prepare to be bitch slapped. If she had any gumption, the blog would have remained up. And with that, everybody can see that a) daddy doesn't want to hurt his chances next election time b) There is no conviction behind her talk c) Quite obviously she knows she knows she's an unfeeling little fart who was beating down upon the common man with her great Western education.
