Injustice

I am so extremely pissed off right now. I was in IRC, trying to download some music from those servers. I was in #teens, because I had to be in at least one channel the server was on. So I was nicely minding my own business, looking at the song list of the server, when suddenly I got kicked and banned from that channel by some moron called Ikuko(Apparently, he really is a kuku). At first I thought maybe it was a mistake. Maybe he meant to kick someone else whose nick was similar to mine, so I msgd him and asked him what was going on. Then he pasted part of a conversation(which I never had) with some B**** (who I dont even know). Apparently, I asked her if she wanted to have sex with me. He kicked and banned me because of that. When I saw that, I got really pissed off. Not because I was kicked and banned, but because he blindly accepted whatever she said as the truth. and completely disregarded what I said in my defence. I mean, what a complete idiot that guy is, allowing himself to be manipulated like that. I was also very pissed off with him, because it painted a false picture, illustrating the intelligence of men. Anyway, I bet he probably is trying to get himself into her good books by u know sucking up to her by doing whatever she says and he is probably the one with ulterior motives. Stupid sucker.

I remembered the last time I got this upset. It was during my Law orientation abt 2 weeks ago. We were playing whacko to break the 'ice' and the rule was that if someone becomes the person who has to whack people 3 times, they will have to do a forfeit. So the game went on for a while, until this girl had to do the forfeit. It was a really simple forfeit also lah just do some chicken dance or smthin... anyway, she was like really shy and refused to do it. So, to get her to do the forfeit, the seniors said "Ok lah... since u are so shy, we will let u choose someone to do the forfeit with you." She chose this guy sitting beside me. I already felt a little irritated, because that guy didnt deserve to do the forfeit, so I asked them why should he have to do it, when it isnt his forfeit. It doesnt make sense does it? Then they were like aiyah... its not you so why u defending him. At that point I wasnt very disturbed yet... the guy was pretty willing to do it anyway. It was after the whole thing was over and I was going to Changi Village, that I began thinking about it. I mean, why did he have to do it? She was supposed to do it, because she crossed the limit. It wasnt his fault that she had to do the forfeit. Oh and what about that guy? He just decided to accept the forfeit imposed upon him.

This is really scary, because it happens in all levels in Singapore. From the government, right down to the grassroots. We dont believe in defending ones rights, and letting them have a say. Whats the point of a democracy, when you cannot even fight for your own rights? When you are considered guilty until proven innocent? I used to think that it was just a differenciation in the ideologies of the generation and that it would change as a newer generation emerges. I thought that perhaps there would be an evolution in the mindsets of us Singaporeans. Perhaps there is... but perhaps we are just too afraid of taking action.

That girl was totally not sporting, but doing that kind of thing requires a lot of...self-confidence and thick skin. And that takes growing up, experience and maturity. I guess yu're just luckier than others in that yu have that, probably cos yu have two grown-up, mature sisters
:P

"I used to think that it was just a differenciation in the ideologies of the generation and that it would change as a newer generation emerges."

Yes, but we're all not living in the "same" generation, if yu get what I mean. Anyway, good writing, and questioning.
