  1. https://www.lowyat.net/2022/262662/trump-is-launching-his-truth-social-app-in-february/ Former US President Donald Trump’s new social media network, Truth Social, will be launching on Presidents’ Day on 21 February, according to an App Store listing. The network was announced last year and aims to be an alternative to mainstream social sites such as Facebook and Twitter, with the latter permanently banning Trump’s account after the capitol riot in Washington. From the screenshots on the App Store listing, the app seems to share many similarities with Twitter. Users can follow accounts, chat with others, and the posts themselves feature a reply, retweet, like, and share button. East post is called a Truth and its retweet equivalent is called a Re-Truth. Truth Social is run by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which plans to go public via an SPAC merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC) at a valuation of US$875 million (~RM3.68 billion). The company’s overview claims that the social network will use a “big tent” approach to build a “non-cancellable” global community. The social media app is only the first of three stages for TMTG. The company also plans on launching an on-demand streaming service called TMTG+, which will include entertainment, news, and podcasts. It is also working on a “long-term opportunity TMTG tech stack”, which aims at competing with Amazon’s AWS, Google’s Cloud, Microsoft’s Azure, and payment processor Stripe. Truth Social is built using Mastodon’s source code, which is an open-source social platform. Mastodon called out the site for not providing its source code as per the software license requirements, which Truth Social has since made its source code public not long after the complaint. The Trump app is also partnering with Rumble to provide video and streaming technology. The app is available for pre-order now on the App Store, but it doesn’t seem to be available in Malaysia. There is no word on whether it will be coming to Android, nor is there a launch date for its website, which currently only has a form for a waiting list.
  2. Subject: Fw: Ten Reasons to Throw out your Microwave Oven Looks like microwave may be one of the most useful and fastest but deadliest equipment in the kitchen! Wouldn't recommend using it for babies or young children. Dear All, As I write, a dear friend of mine lies dying of cancer. His doctor has given him only 3 - 4 months to live because the cancer has spread aggressively to many parts of his body and he is determined to be inoperable. The news came as a great shock to him, his family and close friends like me because he is relatively young, physically fit and strong, a Karate black belt holder, body builder, and a food and health fanatic. My friend is also a non-smoker, takes different kinds of fresh fruit salads every day of the week. He swallows multi-vitamin pills daily. He dines out only occasionally. He also takes his faith and religion seriously and goes to church every Sunday. So I pondered long and hard over the news. I asked myself and wondered for days as to how and why....... Is it possible that people including my friend and I are ignorantly sacrificing their health in exchange for the convenience of microwave ovens? Why did the Soviet Union ban the use of microwave ovens in 1976? Did you know it was the Nazis who invented microwave ovens, and why? The answers to these questions may shock you. With thanks to our forum member Mr. Chan Mun Chu who posted the initial warning earlier, I have read and managed to summarise his rather onerous and lengthy report into a more readible format. For those who are interested in the scientific details though, please click to open the attached, if not read on and warn your friends and loved ones about the dangers of a microwave oven. Who knows, you may save a life - even if that life is not yours. Eddy Cheong Founder & Chairman New Huaren Forum Ten Reasons to Throw out your Microwave Oven From the conclusions of Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, it has been found that:- 1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by "shorting out" electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue]. 2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food. 3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods. 4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body. 5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down. 6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens. 7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America. 8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood. 9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations. 10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence. Carcinogens in microwaved food In Dr. Lita Lee's book, Health Effects of Microwave Radiation - Microwave Ovens, and in the March and September 1991 issues of Earthletter, she stated that every microwave oven leaks electro-magnetic radiation, harms food, and converts substances cooked in it to dangerous organ-toxic and carcinogenic products. Further research summarized in this article reveal that microwave ovens are far more harmful than previously imagined. The following is a summary of the Russian investigations published by the Atlantis Raising Educational Center in Portland, Oregon. Carcinogens were formed in virtually all foods tested. No test food was subjected to more microwaving than necessary to accomplish the purpose, i.e., cooking, thawing, or heating to insure sanitary ingestion. Here's a summary of some of the results: * Microwaving prepared meats sufficiently to insure sanitary ingestion caused formation of d-Nitrosodienthanolamines, a well-known carcinogen. * Microwaving milk and cereal grains converted some of their amino acids into carcinogens. * Thawing frozen fruits converted their glucoside and galactoside containing fractions into carcinogenic substances. * Extremely short exposure of raw, cooked or frozen vegetables converted their plant alkaloids into carcinogens. * Carcinogenic free radicals were formed in microwaved plants, especially root vegetables. * Decrease in nutritional value Russian researchers also reported a marked acceleration of structural degradation leading to a decreased food value of 60 to 90% in all foods tested. Among the changes observed were: Deceased bio-availability of vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotropics factors in all food tested. Various kinds of damaged to many plant substances, such as alkaloids, glucosides, galactosides and nitrilosides. The degradation of nucleo-proteins in meats. Microwave sickness is discovered The Russians did research on thousands of workers who had been exposed to microwaves during the development of radar in the 1950's. Their research showed health problems so serious that the Russians set strict limits of 10 microwatts exposure for workers and one microwatt for civilians. In Robert O. Becker's book, The Body Electric, he described Russian research on the health effects of microwave radiation, which they called "microwave sickness." On page 314, Becker states: "It's [Microwave sickness] first signs are low blood pressure and slow pulse. The later and most common manifestations are chronic excitation of the sympathetic nervous system [stress syndrome] and high blood pressure. This phase also often includes headache, dizziness, eye pain, sleeplessness, irritability, anxiety, stomach pain, nervous tension, inability to concentrate, hair loss, plus an increased incidence of appendicitis, cataracts, reproductive problems, and cancer. The chronic symptoms are eventually succeeded by crisis of adrenal exhaustion and ischemic heart disease [the blockage of coronary arteries and heart attacks]." According to Dr. Lee, changes are observed in the blood chemistries and the rates of certain diseases among consumers of microwaved foods. The symptoms above can easily be caused by the observations shown below. The following is a sample of these changes: * Lymphatic disorders were observed, leading to decreased ability to prevent certain types of cancers. * An increased rate of cancer cell formation was observed in the blood. * Increased rates of stomach and intestinal cancers were observed. * Higher rates of digestive disorders and a gradual breakdown of the systems of elimination were observed. Microwave research conclusions The following were the most significant German and Russian research operations facilities concerning the biological effects of microwaves: * Category I, Cancer-Causing Effects * Category II, Nutritive Destruction of Foods * Category III, Biological Effects of Exposure CATEGORY I CANCER-CAUSING EFFECTS [The first two points of Category I are not readable from our report copy. The remainder of the report is intact.] 3. Creation of a "binding effect" to radioactivity in the atmosphere, thus causing a marked increase in the amount of alpha and beta particle saturation in foods; 4. Creation of cancer causing agents within protein hydrolysate compounds* in milk and cereal grains [*these are natural proteins that are split into unnatural fragments by the addition of water]; 5. Alteration of elemental food-substances, causing disorders in the digestive system by unstable catabolism* of foods subjected to microwaves [*the metabolic breakdown process]; 6. Due to chemical alterations within food substances, malfunctions were observed within the lymphatic systems [absorbent vessels], causing a degeneration of the immune potentials of the body to protect against certain forms of neoplastics [abnormal growths of tissue]; 7. Ingestion of microwaved foods caused a higher percentage of cancerous cells within the blood serum [cytomas - cell tumors such as sarcoma]; 8. Microwave emissions caused alteration in the catabolic [metabolic breakdown] behavior of glucoside [hydrolyzed dextrose] and galactoside [oxidized alcohol] elements within frozen fruits when thawed in this manner; 9. Microwave emission caused alteration of the catabolic [metabolic breakdown] behavior of plant alkaloids [organic nitrogen based elements] when raw, cooked, or frozen vegetables were exposed for even extremely short durations; 10. Cancer causing free radicals [highly reactive incomplete molecules] were formed within certain trace mineral molecular formations in plant substances, and in particular, raw root-vegetables; and, 11. In a statistically high percentage of persons, microwaved foods caused stomach and intestinal cancerous growths, as well as a general degeneration of peripheral cellular tissues, with a gradual breakdown of the function of the digestive and excretive systems. CATEGORY II DECREASE IN FOOD VALUE Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in the nutritive value of all foods researched. The following are the most important findings: 1. A decrease in the bioavailability [capability of the body to utilize the nutriment] of B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotropics in all foods; 2. A loss of 60-90% of the vital energy field content of all tested foods; 3. A reduction in the metabolic behavior and integration process capability of alkaloids [organic nitrogen based elements], glucosides and galactosides, and nitrilosides; 4. A destruction of the nutritive value of nucleoproteins in meats; 5. A marked acceleration of structural disintegration in all foods. CATEGORY III BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE Exposure to microwave emissions also had an unpredictably negative effect upon the general biological welfare of humans. This was not discovered until the Russians experimented with highly sophisticated equipment and discovered that a human did not even need to ingest the material substance of the microwaved food substances: that even exposure to the energy-field itself was sufficient to cause such adverse side effects that the use of any such microwave apparatus was forbidden in 1976 by Soviet state law. The following are the enumerated effects: 1. A breakdown of the human "life-energy field" in those who were exposed to microwave ovens while in operation, with side-effects to the human energy field of increasingly longer duration; 2. A degeneration of the cellular voltage parallels during the process of using the apparatus, especially in the blood and lymphatic areas; 3. A degeneration and destabilization of the external energy activated potentials of food utilization within the processes of human metabolism; 4. A degeneration and destabilization of internal cellular membrane potentials while transferring catabolic [metabolic breakdown] processes into the blood serum from the digestive process; 5. Degeneration and circuit breakdowns of electrical nerve impulses within the junction potentials of the cerebrum [the front portion of the brain where thought and higher functions reside]; 6. A degeneration and breakdown of nerve electrical circuits and loss of energy field symmetry in the neuroplexuses [nerve centers] both in the front and the rear of the central and autonomic nervous systems; 7. Loss of balance and circuiting of the bioelectric strengths within the ascending reticular activating system [the system which controls the function of consciousness]; 8. A long term cumulative loss of vital energies within humans, animals and plants that were located within a 500-meter radius of the operational equipment; 9. Long lasting residual effects of magnetic "deposits" were located throughout the nervous system and lymphatic system; 10. A destabilization and interruption in the production of hormones and maintenance of hormonal balance in males and females; 11. Markedly higher levels of brainwave disturbance in the alpha, theta, and delta wave signal patterns of persons exposed to microwave emission fields, and; 12. Because of this brainwave disturbance, negative psychological effects were noted, including loss of memory, loss of ability to concentrate, suppressed emotional threshold, deceleration of intellective processes, and interruptive sleep episodes in a statistically higher percentage of individuals subjected to continual range emissive field effects of microwave apparatus, either in cooking apparatus or in transmission stations. Forensic Research Conclusions From the twenty-eight above enumerated indications, the use of microwave apparatus is definitely not advisable; and, with the decision of the Soviet government in 1976, present scientific opinion in many countries concerning the use of such apparatus is clearly in evidence
  3. Hi all, Wheel spacers... Good or bad... I mean seriously.... Strut bars are good, makes cornering better. Strut bars are bad, weakens parts of your chassis. Open pod is good, engine breaths better. Open pod is bad, lose low end and risk more dirt into engine. My point is, most mods will cause premature wear on the car, in one way or another. So it a fully stock car good? "Never..." The car enthusiast will say... Anyway lets get back to my topic. Wheel spacers... Some say just get proper off set rims... And seems many who are against it say it will cause premature wheel bearing wear. Seriously wouldn't a smaller off set rim (wider) also cause the small problem? And we all know most cars are designed to under steer, so that means the rear wheel axle should be shorter. And they are on most cars... I always thought a modded wider rear will increase under steer, some friends said so... But after some research, I think in fact under steer will be less. Maybe different cars will have different effects. Anyone got facts to share?

  8. https://my.news.yahoo.com/failed-malays-know-no-shame-says-dr-m-094017568.html Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad lamented that he failed in his 22 years in power as the Malays did not feel ashamed when they failed, whether in examinations or in life. "I spent 22 years trying to change the Malays, trying to alter the perception that they were lazy, I failed," Malaysia's longest serving prime minister said today. His comments came after the Education Ministry revealed that two examination papers for a national primary school test had been leaked, forcing nearly 500,000 pupils to resit the papers on September 30. "In the past, when a Malay was sentenced to jail, the offender would hang his head in shame as it was not something to be proud of. "But today, when a Malay is sentenced to jail, the offender will walk with his head proudly in the air, smiling as if he has achieved something." The former prime minister was speaking at the launch of the book “Wahai Melayu” by author Anas Zubedy in Petaling Jaya today. He cited Mat Rempit or members of Malay motorcycle gangs as an example of Malays who did not feel ashamed about not working hard. If anyone asks me today, I would have to say Malays are lazy. - Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad "When they fail, they say we will go and become Mat Rempit. Look at the gender breakdown in our public universities. "Women make up 70% of the students while men are a mere 30%. What has happened? Is Malaysia lacking in males? "No, the Malay men appear to feel proud to be Mat Rempit. They do not feel ashamed when they fail in their examinations." Dr Mahathir said he spent 22 years as prime minister trying to change the mindset of the Malays and turn them around. "I always tell non-Malays not to think that the Malays are lazy. If anyone asks me today, I would have to say Malays are lazy," Dr Mahathir said. Another failing among the Malays, he said, was the lack of honesty and integrity, and their failure to handle money properly. He spoke of his experience running a bakery after his retirement from politics. "I am operating a bakery and have given many opportunities to Malays to hold management positions. "Unfortunately, time and time again, honesty and integrity appear to be lacking as there have been staff who keep stealing. "They do not seem to understand that it is wrong to take what is not theirs, they do not think of the big picture or the long term." He said he had hoped to change the Malay mindset by introducing the Look East Policy in 1982 because he had high regard for the attitude and determination of the Japanese, to whom failure was “unacceptable”. "Despite the massive setbacks they had suffered, the Japanese refused to yield. They were determined to rebuild their country (after World War II). "Look at how Japan has risen from the ashes. Their economy is among the top five in the world. This was accomplished with blood and sweat. "To redeem their honour, the Japanese united and strived to make their country's economy strong until it was among the top five in the world. "The Japanese feel ashamed if they fail to accomplish what they have set out to do. They take everything seriously." "In the old days, Japanese commit hara-kiri or seppuku (suicide) if they have failed. This is because failure is unacceptable." Dr Mahathir also reminded Malays to repay their debts so that they would not be looked upon poorly. "Unpaid debts not only affects us as individuals, but as a race as well. We do not want other people to look at us and assume we are bad paymasters. "As Malaysia heads towards 2020, the Malays must work hard to ensure that they are not the poor people of Malaysia," Dr Mahathir said. "If we fail, we should not blame anyone but ourselves. We have failed because we did not do what was right." – September 11, 2014.

  12. A furore has been raised with the latest headline!
  13. While browsing through the search looking for an answer to a motoring question, I was very surprise to see there are many advice or information provided that are either slightly off or grossly wrong. Fortunately, I have been driving long enough to realized some of the information are incorrect. I feel we should check before we post critcal information. other members especially those with their 1st car may get lots of craps in their car without knowing it.
  14. Just found out the true story behind it. Please dont ask me how i know. My motive is just to share with you guys, and expose how the media lie to us. Here are a few facts we need to establish. 1-This case has nothing to do with staring. 2-Darren is also in a gang 3-The other gang already targeted Darren for a very long time. 4- Darren was also carrying a chopper. So lets say The attackers are from gang A and darren and his friends are from gang B. Gang B was at downtown east hanging around. GangA knew Darren is going to be there , that is why they are carrying choppers. And also because Darren's Gang(b) "claims" Downtown east as their territory. GangA found Darren and his friend but they aim Darren alone because he is their main target. At first it was just a normal beating. Their intention was to teach Darren a lesson. Then some of Darrens gang members ran to call for backup and some of them ran to get weapons. When the beating was over, GangA walked off. Darren went to grab his weapon and call his backups. They found GangA and Darren provoked them again, not knowing that all his friends actually dont have any weapon and all their rivals has weapon with them. So he act hero, took out his weapon and shouted at them "LAI LA" then GangA also withdrew their weapons. When Darren's friend saw them with weapons, all of them ran. Darren thought his friends would stay behind him and fight together but when he turn around, all of them already ran. Darren tried to run too but ended up hitting the glass and fall down, hence getting chopped. After Darren was chopped, those attackers went to book a challet. The police tracked them down and raided their challet. One guy jumped from the 3rd floor and fall into a 1m deep swimming pool injuring himself (fail) while the others got caught. From my source, Darren is the most guai lan in that group and always provoking others. Do dont listen to all the crap the media is telling you. Like Darren being a good guy, that the incident was because of staring and all the other b-------t. I know which gangs Darren and the attackers belong to but i dont wish to disclose it. Again, dont ask me where i get all this information. I hope this is not an /arrest me thread. =S http://forums.vr-zone.com/chit-chatting/91...y-happened.html
  15. Got chance to waive fine IF tell the truth ?? yesterday was the first time i went to Kallang Leisure Park. so i set my gps on my nokia phone and let it guide me to the place. when i was near my destination, i took an early turn and ended up in the drive through KFC and the ERP barriers went up and then i went around the building and then exited and continued to follow the gps guidance again. finally, i reach the side entrance of kallang leisure park and then parked at the open carpark and went to Mega. after 15 mins, felt abit funny and decided to go outside to look at the carpark signs and was alarmed when i saw that there was no free sunday free parking. quickly went over to my car hopping to be able to put a coupon but the summon slip was already there under the wipers. do you think will got chance to waive or reduce the fine i i write in and tell them that i genuinely did not know about the parking requirements ? actually i was abit blur after i made the wrong turn at the KFC and kept thinking that the ERP parking gantry at the KFC was for the Leisure park, that's why i just up and walked away. Only when i saw the basement car park at the shopping center then i felt something amiss.

  17. http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...poor_taste.html In need of a one night stand: CHIJ girls please stand up!" read the poster at club Filter, a large CHIJ school crest in the middle. STOMPer Jean feels this is very demeaning and insults students of the school. A photo of a similar poster at the club featuring the ACS school crest was also seen online. In an article in The New Paper today (Jan 18), the poster was seen in Filter Members Club last Saturday during a theme party, and a photograph of a group of girls posing with the poster was posted online yesterday. Permission was not sought for the use of the school crest by the club, said CHIJ School Board of Management chairman Vivienne Lim. She, CHIJ alumni and current CHIJ students also felt it was insulting, inappropriate, demeaning and tasteless. A PR consultant the paper spoke to also stressed the importance of a school badge as "it has historical connections and religious significance". A mother of three daughters who are enrolled in CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' Primary School said, "It's rude and gives the impression that all convent girls have loose morals." The club had described the get-up for the party as "scandalous school girls" and "East Coast preppy school boys" on its facebook page. The ACS school logo was also used in a party poster to promote a reunion party for former ACS students on Saturday. Its slogan read: "In need of a sugar daddy: Where my AC boys at?" Permission was also not sought for the use of this school crest, said an ACS spokesman. The club said it does not "comment on the actions of their guests when they are in Filter or what takes place in Filter." STOMPer Jean described her reaction to seeing the poster: "Being an alumnus of CHIJ Toa Payoh, I was shocked to come across the photo of the poster online. "When I read about the report in the papers, I was even more dismayed that the club had failed to see the significance and so sacrilegiously used the crest in such a demeaning manner. "How can it imply that all CHIJ girls are willing to partake in 'one-night stands?" It's even implicating those in the primary schools, who are as young as six. "CHIJ has a rich history of over 150 years. The club has destroyed it in just one night. "I hope they will be dealt with seriously."

  20. While walking down the street one day, an MP is tragically hit by a truck and dies. The MP's soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter . "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in," says the MP. St. Peter says, "Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity." "Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the MP. "I'm sorry, but we have our rules", replies St.Peter. And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne. Also present is the Devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises... The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. "Now it's time to visit heaven," St Peter says. So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and the 24 hours in heaven passes by and St Peter returns. "Well, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now which will you choose for your eternity?" St Peter asks. The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers, "Well, I never would have thought it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be happier and better off .. in hell." So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above. The Devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. "I don't understand," stammers the MP. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?" The Devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning.. Today .. you have voted."

I do care when elderly people needs to struggle for 03 meals & sometimes even for 01 meal when others are paid MILLIONS to incompetently run the country. I do care when others being paid Millions make blunders every single year for as long as I can remember. I do care when others being paid Millions after making blunders refuse to apologise immediately. I do care when others being paid Millions make unintelligent food quotes with no analogy to the issue discussed. I do care when others being paid Millions uses questionable logics to avoid having to further addresss the issues raised. General Elections are not only about myself, my family or my friends. It is not only about our lift upgrading. It is not about our link shelters. It is not about a new park or a new hospital or a new shopping center. These are precinct's issues. General Elections are about the nation. It is about addressing the NATION's issues. President Obama & the ruling party did not became the incumbent government through issues of upgrading, building bridges nor other precinct issues. Please, for those who are considering to cast their votes through their own precinct's issues. Think & VOTE WISELY. The TRUTH IS OUT THERE. Below is a link, please read it. And again......I REFUSE TO BE A DONKEY http://mrwangsaysso.blogspot.com/2011/05/p...-choice-of.html
  22. Now it becomes abundantly clear why we're getting worse and worse public service despite our public servants paying themselves more and more. Seriously, when you consider that: Linus Torvalds - developed the Linux kernel, Richard Stallman - a major figure in the Free Software Foundation, MIT educated, Grigori Perelman - mathematical genius, proved the hideously difficult Poincare conjecture, but refused both the prestigious Fields Medal *and* the US$1,000,000 Clay Mathematics Institute Prize, and many others all have done brilliant work without expecting (and in some cases, actively refusing) financial recompense, it becomes clear that profit alone cannot motivate intellects at the highest level. Surely our Mini-stars are completely incomparable to these true intellectual heavyweights. We are basically paying for what we get and getting what we paid for - a bunch of self-serving middleweights.
  23. There was a time when I looked at the period, when one turns 55 and he/she can hope to see the better part of the days, with his/her remaining time to spend leisurely, for the last part of their lives. Then somewhere in the 1990s, it seems that the number has changed to somewhere close to 60. Come to the year 2000+ and the number has gone to somewhere 62 and then maybe to to 65. It does not take a genius to guess why the number keep going up, with seemingly no hope for the average Joe to 'rest his legs' and enjoy the last remaining part of his life. It seems obvious, that someone has taken the better and larger part of his money, saved by Joe in his earlier years, meant for his retirement and used it in whatever way, except for Joe himself in his old age. Did Joe, thru of his 20 to 30+ years of working, see any increase to his personal wealth? Or did he get any healthier to be able to live longer? The answer would be a definite ..NO! Well, what Joe did realised for sure, is that he had to pay more and more, just to be able to live modestly from year to year. Which probably accounts for where his own money saved by himself, apart from those that were taken away from him, had gone to. Which was to counter the ever rising cost of living and seemingly nothing much left for himself in the end. The question must obviously turn to ...where did the money Joe had to stash up by law, have gone to? It seems that all the infrastruture around him, from the gleaming public trains and stations to the high skyscrapers and expensive looking hospitals and many other things Joe gets to see everyday and read everday in the local news but provide nothing for him in his time of need, when he is in his 60s. And with the constant public propaganda that has been going around, since Joe left his last job when he was in his 60s, urging him to go on working, just to be able to feed himself, when he had already expended all his energy thru the 30+ years of his working life and have nothing more to give but shaky legs with constant aches. Did Joe know that this would be how he would end up? Eithier, hoping that his grown up children are filial enough and let him have the better part of his days or else what could he have done to avoid being in such a state? it was a time when Joe was in his prime when such issue seemingly was never a concern for him. It did dawn upon him and got him uneasy when he was close to his 50s but everything in his life from the money he was supoosed to have, in his retirement fund for his retirement, to his dream of a easy life, was never a decision that he was ever in control of, let alone to be allowed to ask for his 'old age' money, that was really his to be returned to him. Why did Joe ever allow such things to happen to him? Or was Joe to be blamed too?
