If You Still Wonder Why

I tried so hard to read 'Because they did not care?' without rolling my eyes. I failed.

The writer comes off sounding so shallow and simple-minded after I read the original piece by Yeo Yang Poh which eloquently summed up the essence of what mobilises people to face-off with authorities who possess water cannons and tear-gas.

The points put forward by his/her detractor fell flat.

Are we not able to run errands, shop and hang out with friends every day except for the First of August??

Do we not have horrible traffic congestion every day after work, to the point that ambulances take ages to maneuver through traffic?

Bear in mind, that bad traffic everyday is due to poor town planning by the government.

The especially horrendous traffic on that particular day was caused by police roadblocks, not even by protestors.

I'm not going to dignify the rest of his opinions with a response. I think they speak for themselves and the man/woman who wrote them.

No wonder the writer didn't leave a name. I'd be ashamed to do so, too.

It is disturbing that people could be so stupid.

I am not even going to click that link to read that detractor's propositions. Well done, dearie for not responding to such attempts. Alas, we live in an era where being intellectually challenged is an 'honor' for such ill-informed characters.

Unfortunately such people do sincerely believe that we cannot think rationally and that we are even more mentally deficient than them.

Pax.

What a load of bull! Many shops and stalls reported better business too. Imagine 20,000 people who would need to eat and drink and naturally many took the opportunity to buy something.

If you do business there is also risk to be factored in. If there is a burglary, go after all the thieves and burglars?

Sounded like a sponsored reply to me.

Good for you, Masterwordsmith. I feel dirty after having gone into that site and reading that sort of crap.

Hitam Had, that's the disturbing thing. Their circle of influence is so small that they think everyone else on the planet thinks like them.

Bull, I think there are also a lot of opportunists out there, who are looking to make a quick buck. The txi drivers, for instance, who claim that they lost their business on that day. The fact is, by being stuck in the jam, their customers would have paid more for less driving on their part.

Antares, that's the word for it - moral retard.

Sinkeh, sponsored by UMNO of course. I later read his name was MP Goh, but I bet in reality he does not exist.
