People are Brain Dead Pt 2

Class Conscious Elitists

I came across an article in The Star (15th February) that once again, proves that some people are brain dead stupid. The article is here.

In case you won't/can't read the article, basically it was about an internet chatroom debate caused by this girl from an elite school in Singapore who's got this relationship with male student from a not-so-elite school. What started out as a boy-girl thing ended up being about a social class thing and apparently lasted for 4 months.

Apparently, in Singapore schools, it's not acceptable for a student of a "lower class" to "try & climb the social ladder" by dating another student from an "elite" school. Also, this is not acceptable because "The one weaker in academics will not be able to provide nourishment for the mind and cannot engage in intelligent discussion on politics, for example. And the more intelligent one will probably have to lower his/her standards and eventually will degenerate to the same level. We are afraid of genetic dilution."

There are more choice comments in the article. Here's my favourite:-

*Sgstvoy, who admits he came from a top school, argues that students with limited capacity, or the lower class, “exist for the service of the upper class.” [This guy actually used the term "upper class". Who the hell does he think he is ??]

To the lesser students, he advised: “Know your limits and develop your other niche abilities for I do believe an academically inept person will have other abilities that may not be valued by the current system.” *

Eh ? Are these things happening in Singapore or some European fiefdom in the Dark Ages ?

With things like these being said all over the internet, how are Singaporeans ever going to shed their ARROGANT, SELF-INVOLVED & KIASU stereotype. Don't get me wrong, I've known a few Singaporeans and they were decent enough. I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING against Singapore or its inhabitants.

But you have to think about it, if these little bitches can be THAT snobby in high school, imagine what they'll be like when they get older. Certainly not someone I'd hang out with.

The thing that shocks the heck out of me is that in this touchy-feelly, politically correct day & age, some people still act like this. Goes to prove some people are idiots. I hope these arrogant bastards get sucky jobs and get anally raped by their bosses.

Unbelievable.
