Promoting criminal activity should be criminal

On Saturday, whispers were heard (damn loud lah, these whisperers), that some party organised by Fridae.com had been cancelled because the police had contacted the venue owners (MoS) and warned them that if the party had gone ahead, they'd ‘come to the club to shut the party down and take action against the club.’

Appar­ently, the rea­son given by the police was that the venue own­ers would be ‘pro­mot­ing gay activities’.

I sup­pose if you drew a very very long bow you could pos­si­bly say that that was akin to abet­ting a crime. And you know we live in a place some­times known as the land of the long long bow.

Beer pro­mot­ers at cof­fee shops, watch out, your num­ber is up next. Drink dri­ving is a seri­ous crime, you know?

You know how ter­ri­ble you lot are, you aun­ties in your skimpy tiger beer out­fits, pro­mot­ing your vile and evil nec­tar so con­vinc­ingly that I can­not help but par­take of it when I know damn well it causes me harm.

This isn’t new, you know? So, I really don’t know what the big fuss is about.

    You know, bright green on a white back­ground is not a good choice… Maybe you could go darker green?

    Thanks Cheryl. It looks fine on Macs — it’s olive green on the com­put­ers at this office. I’ll check with the Win­tel comps to see if it’s really bad.

    the govt always has its rea­sons for ban­ning some­thing.. but the rea­sons may not always be strong enuff. espe­cially when now, the GE is near, they don’t wanna get into the bad books of any citizen.

    mak­ers of mp3 play­ers should be jailed, mr sim wong hoo cer­tainly is abet­ting the vast copy­right vio­la­tors out there who down­load music to play on his mp3 players..

    heck, cd man­u­fac­tur­ers and retail­ers should be jailed too, after­all, with­out cd’s one wouldn’t be tempted or be in a posi­tion to rip them.

    “
    Q. How do I know whether the songs in my com­puter or MP3 player are legal?
    A. If you didn’t buy it from a legal site like Sound­buzz, it is prob­a­bly ille­gal. Plus, when you buy a CD, the rights only apply to the CD; this means you can­not rip songs out and make them into MP3s for your player.

    Gen­er­ally, it’s advis­able to check the terms and con­di­tions of use before you make a copy of the songs. — SOURCE: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OFFICE OF SINGAPORE“

    Luvktv writes that “the govt always has its rea­sons for ban­ning some­thing”. Absolutely! How about homo­pho­bia? How about sys­tem­atic dis­crim­i­na­tion against gay men? How about igno­rance? How about a near com­plete lack of under­stand­ing of human sex­u­al­ity? How about plain and sim­ple hate­mon­ger­ing for votes?

    Sin­ga­pore is based on an under­staind­ing of the ben­e­fits and value of a mul­ti­cul­tural and multi­na­tional soci­ety where dif­fer­ences are acknowl­edged and val­ued. Appar­ently what you do with your dick is more impo­rant to some in the gov­ern­ment that what you do with your brain.

    ives are rarely reduced to such a small num­ber of facts. And writ­ing a resume is a bal­anc­ing act between feel­ing out­ra­geously boast­ful and http://www.geonlineservice.com unim­pres­sive. Some, like Seth Godin, have ques­tioned whether you should even have a resume. I know many peo­ple who take what­ever dread­ful job hap­pens their way just to avoid writ­ing one.
