Voicing Out.

i was reading the paper earlier today (The Star & NST) and 2 articles caught my attention. i can't remember which is from which though, and it's not exactly a main hot topic like the whole MCA thingie or whatever new 1world concept that our current PM is attempting to introduce to us.

first is about this secondary school kid that posted something vulgar on his Friendster site about his school headmaster. apparently there was something about his headmaster that he dislike. my 1st reaction was "wah, still got ppl using Friendster in the FB era?"

anyways, i went on reading, and that student was asked to switch school! i mean, yea..maybe he should cut down on the vulgarity, but what about freedom of expression? i mean...the Net is the forum for us to voice out our opinion, our criticisms. it's through this forum that people make improvements. i felt that that kid was punished a little too harshly.

what schools should do today is to educate students, that each and everyone of us have freedom of expression but we have to learn how to express it in a more subtle manner and cut down on the vulgarity.


the second article that i came across was about the state government will subsidise for married couples who is on the verge of divorce for second honeymoon.

#$%^^&^*(@$@#$ %!!!!!!$%^#^&^

I WAS SHOCKED. then i continued reading, apparently in that state, divorce rate is getting higher and higher and it happens mostly to newlyweds.

here's my opinion about marriage. marriage is an issue between 2 people, if they really really decided to file for a divorce because they realised that they dont LOVE each other anymore, thousands of honeymoons wouldn't save that marriage. it's already BROKEN.

for me, the MAIN reason why divorce rates are getting higher in that state, since it involves mainly newlyweds...and they are of still very young age. it's because, the guy screwed the girl, got her pregnant...family wants them to get married. that's it.

maybe the state govt should channel their resources into educating them, especially secondary school kids about safe sex, sex education. i know some people might say that by giving those kids safe sex education, it's in a way encouraging them to have sex. but then again, who are we kidding? kids lose their virginity as early as the age of 15. and im not joking, this is real life story.

well, all of these are just my own opinion. it's not that i can change anything. just voicing out.
