| FilipinoVoices | wtf! are you telling me that we shouldn't be appalled? What, it's okay to moderate the violence??!! |
| FilipinoVoices |  |
| Ade | Who what where?! |
| seav | i second ade |
| FilipinoVoices | FV commenters already at work, displaying their "human" side.. |
| sofimi | Lemme guess...BrianB? |
| Ade | Oh, BrianB again.  |
| FilipinoVoices | |
| Jenneh | we SHOULD be appalled, wtf! what they did was not human at all. mga leche. whoever thinks otherwise is also leche. mga leche talaga. |
| seav | well, BrianB does have one good point |
| seav | that people (in the middle class) are apathetic until some injustice is personally done to them |
| seav | that's a different point altogether... I'm not condoning his rude dismissal, just acknowledging his observation |
| IceCreamZombie | aren't we all part of the middle class? |
| IceCreamZombie | my point is that it annoys me whenever someone says the middle class is apathetic, pretentious, etcetera... |
| IceCreamZombie | ...and most of the time, the people who say those are part of the middle class themselves |
| Johnny Cash | prudence: ironic. |
| Neil ES2PIDO | Oh BrianB again!  |
| Alex | says | Tried to look at that angle as well. Are we giving attention to this issue because the victim, in this case is (upper?) middle class? |
| Alex | says | That the act becomes a lot more appalling because of who was wronged in this case. |
| Johnny Cash | alexmaximo : we're giving attention to this issue because it involves violence from people we expect to have the ascendancy... |
| Johnny Cash | to NOT resort to violence. |
| Alex | says | But I do agree that every act of injustice deserves our eye, attention and voice. |
| Johnny Cash | golf is supposed to be a game where discipline is required in every inch of the fairway |
| Alex | says | In any way you put it, what they did was plain wrong. |
| Ade | this issue isn't about who was wronged, it's about the people we trust to not resort to violence acting the opposite of what we expect. |
| IceCreamZombie | i don't like attributing characteristics to a class |
| Johnny Cash | the irony of it is that the DAR secretary and the mayor of one of the poorest provinces in the country play golf |
| Jenneh | mismo marocharim. leche talaga. he did NOTHING about the sumilao isssue. punyeta talaga |
| seav | point: generalizing is not wrong per se. |
| Johnny Cash | and golf is so... boring and sedate |
| Alex | says | marocharim: True. I wonder if we (the taxpayers) paid for that round of golf too. |
| IceCreamZombie | its a case that is so wrong in many levels |
| IceCreamZombie | that's why i hate stereotyping anyone just because they seem to belong to a class |
| Alex | says | caffeinesparks: For some, that would just be a sub-class of the middle class dubbed as the petty-bourgeois. |
| Alex | says | But I'm nitpicking just emphasizing the troubles of generalizing.  |
| seav | the abuse of generalizing/stereotyping does not make the concept invalid or incorrect. People just have to take generalizations with salt |
| seav | and people generalizing should be aware of what they're doing |
| seav | the problem with BrianB is he seems to have a lack of empathy and he seems to look at the big picture too much... |
| seav | thus he dismisses singular incidents like these |
| seav | hehehe... I really would love to see benign0 and BrianB debate about something... the sparks would probably beat any EK fireworks! |
| Ade | caffeinesparks You should see his word war with mikevillar. it was epic. also, we figured out why he's like that. |
| seav | is | that Mike Village thread still going? |
| seav | oops... *Villar* |
| Alex | says | It's pretty cruel to dismiss such a personal case (as far as Bambee is concerned) as "part of life." |
| Alex | says | Same effect as saying "Oh well. Shit happens. Deal with it." to the victims. |
| Alex | says | AdeMagnaye: Hey, bro. Got a link to that? That has got to be pretty interesting. |
| Ade | he basically threatened Mike with legal threats, while Mike just kept on digging up dirt from Brian's past |
| Alex | says | Oh man. Let's just focus on the real issue. Let's damn such barbarism of government officials. |
| Ade | alexmaximo agreed. |
| Alex | says | Whatever happened to "just plain wrong"? And the case is just that. Just plain wrong. |
| Jenneh | some guy making money off blogging. kaya tinamaan sya dun sa post ni Pat Mangubat. |
| Alex | says | But yeah. Reading the Mike Villar vs. BrianB thread made me laugh. |
| Alex | says | caffeinesparks: Very true. Bastos at garapal talaga. |
