I don't think it -- I know it. Knowing how the Singapore government behaves is actually what I do for a living, remember?Originally posted by FrostyBoy
Come on Rufus, do you REALLY think the government will do that? It's a fear tactic. They don't actually do that.
As for the rest of you posting about Singapore, I'm not going to bother replying, unless you bother to be serious about it.

I think it's exactly what you are saying. In the case of New York, they just spend their money on other things rather than making their subway pristine. The system works just fine 24-7-365 and it is an immensely cleaner and more orderly system than it was 30 years ago. Your preconceived notions about what NY should do and be hold no sway.Originally posted by FrostyBoy
That's not what I am saying DanS. I REALLY am interested to know why NY and Chicago have not upgraded, are there plans in the works? What is going on?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Rufus, I know you're in that department, that's why I am surprised to hear you say those remarks about Singapore.
To me, it's all a front, but in the back they are harmless. Sure if you take drugs they will hang you - but the solution is simple - don't take drugs. If you want to take drugs, don't live in Singapore, isn't it simple? Singapore is quite ideal for me, I moved away from New Zealand because there is TOO MUCH freedom - now the teenagers run the country! It pissed me off too much. Freedom comes with a price, and people aren't paying up.
There is a damn good reason why Singapore is so strict -it's the business of Singapore to be stable, steady and organised - that's its resource and you can't play freedom with that.be freeComment

So if I threaten to shoot you unless you give me all your money, it's ok for me to shoot you if you don't give me the cash?Originally posted by FrostyBoy

No, read carefully.
If you don't give me the money (tax), I will put you in jail.
But in reality, it's more like, if you don't give me the money (tax), I will slap your hand many times until you do.
On the other hand, if you do drugs, I will give you a fair trial, but if proven guilty, I will hang you, even if you're from another country.
Such was the case of the poor Australian not too long ago. Singapore can't take risks being one of the world's busiest sea ports. You got to take measures to prove your stability worth.Last edited by FrostyBoy; March 12, 2008, 03:09.be freeComment
