Ideally, all of us should understand the meaning of freedom & responsibility. In this case, social responsibility. If everyone practised some discretion, we won’t be in this situation.

I’m all for honesty while blogging. Unfortunately, some of us abuse that freedom. If left open & honest to the fullest (blogging that is), some of us run rampant & rant about sensitive topics that offend, abuse, destroy & tear people down. Then, in the name of blogging declare, where stands “freedom in blogging”? Where did it go?

About the recent hoo-haa, I agree to the charge. Because some small problems can become long term dire consequences. Some small problems go away. This is the former, not the latter. If the seed of racial discontent is sown in our hearts & given allowance to display in any form, (including blogging) it can grow to become destructive. And there is no way of turning back. Look at countries with deep-seated racism, some never get out of it.

I’m not pro-government. Please.

We should be honest, but that doesn’t mean giving way to pleasing with hypocrisy. I think that is the other extreme end of the spectrum. Personally, I believe in loyalty, discretion & self-control. Therefore, I choose not to blog about some things. Some things are best left alone.

No offence but in my personal view, after reviewing this sensitive racial matter, I guess the (Singapore) pledge isn’t having enough direction towards (our) racism issues as stated above to educate our people about democracy and racial harmony.

Even if actions were to be taken in court, or not, by the judge or the minister, we cannot possibly change the convicted minds about their views on other races. The punishment received would only trigger further hatred towards the intended race or worse, to the country. Perhaps for some of us (I don’t know) whom are the silent racists, punishment might only inflict fear but not instill racial harmony.

IMO, the internet should be a place for freedom. Positive or otherwise, humans should embrace the distinct fact of honesty, rather than being pleased with hypocrisy.

Ps: I love people. They make me smile…
