can't summarize, even though i sound aggressive... i'm more sad than anything else... cos i really hope that with better education, we are at least able to discern basic right from wrong, as well as to know how to reach the root of problems fast enough to eliminate them, rather than to let them culminate to a sharp depression.
unfortunately i do notice that it's getting common to group and look for short-term support that further contributes to the inevitable. saddest part is the Ignorance tat's being encouraged.
it's like a person having a cough and some rashes who just finished watching 'Philadelphia' (Tom Hanks movie about Aids)... then he suspects he has aids... reads up on aids on the internet, ask everyone around abt symptoms of aids, matches everything to himself... and lives with deduction tat he might have Aids. no-one in his line of questioning actually tells him to seek a doctor and go for an aids test... he doesn't go for an aids-test... and he just wallows thinking he is gonna die...
such is the mentality nowadays that's it's not even funny. HDB policy issues - sgbrides... Divorce legality issues - sgbrides... ROM issues - sgbrides... missed period & Pregnant/Not pregnant issues - sgbrides... so difficult to get a test-kit? so difficult to read black&white policies available on the internet? then u get a host of "i think" answers... and the speculations just go on and on... a support group is formed based on an unconfirmed deduction. Pple forget the forum is a platform for opinions/advice/ideas... but concrete stuff like u're either pregnant or not, u can sell your hdb or not - they seek for opinions...
nobody is interested in anything other than forming this support group... If so, i think pple should state clearly in the thread, rather than hide their motives. If u wanna bitch, start a bitching thread... if u want advice - how come u can dun want advice? if u seek advice - how come u can end up advising pple on their advice? if u have the problem - how can u end up telling others that they have problems? If someone uninvolved posts an absolutely biased pointless post on basis of her Gender, makes statements that mirror her own actions and it's so darn obvious - how can u not see it, agree on the same basis of gender and perhaps some prejudice... and still feel good about yourself?
to display a lack of conscience/partiality and be proud of it... that is the bit that caught me offguard.
