Interest


Recently, I've just acquired a new interest. Now I can truely claim I DO have a hobby. It is probably the result of being made to go to Church so many times. The new-found hobby is in reading criticisms. Yes, visiting websites (particularly Christian websites) that post endless articles that criticise the society, the world, the media, everything. How moral values are going downhill, how wicked can lawmakers get, how mercenary and uncaring people are becoming, how society isn't like how it used to be, how the world is gonna end, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri style, how evil and insidious the media truely is. Truely amazing, amusing and quaint, actually. Yea, I may be slightly disturbed.

No offense to Christians here. I'm not a Christian, but I truely enjoy reading all those ceaseless complaints by all those people out there. These people really have to be getting "A"s for their GP! It fascinates me how some mundane events around the world transform into very real, alarming and dramatic phenomena. How do they do it? With those very real, alarming and dramatic statistics of course! Really, maybe I could use their help in my GP.

Of course, one must not neglect the LOCAL newspapers provide similar "entertainment" in the form of "fanmail". Eg. some time ago, "Breastfeeding > Milk Powder! The notion that milk powder is good for babies is wrong because breastfeeding is natural and rocks! The media shouldn't be making milk powder advertisements!"

Also, "I am truely dismayed that [X girl from Y Drama Series] would choose [P guy] over [Q guy]. I really think [Q guy] is cuter and 1000x better than [P guy]!"

Also, "The Singapore Government should enforce laws not to allow such outrageous events to take place! Such outrageous events are as wrongful and outrageous as a wrongful, outrageous can get! It truely outrages me!

And yea, the world is gonna end. Go board the next flight to Alpha Centauri, or something.
