NTU valedictorian apologises for F-word slip

[atrecord]

Totally not appropriate, i’ll say, considering the occasion as well as the fact that she was representing he cohort, and not only herself.


A simple case of letting her emotions get the better of her, not using her brains to think of the consequences, or perhaps a calculated move to ensure that she gets the attention she craves…

I am a strong believer that 见人讲人话，见鬼讲鬼话，meaning speak the language appropriate for the audience. When I wore green (NSF or reservist), i was a completely different person. Even now when i meet my army friends, we sometimes use some crude language. But never in normal daily lives.

ya la....totally not respecting those professors and teachers sitting around especially with their formal gowns.....totally disgusted....haiz there goes the reputation of NTU :lightrod:

[hhpjhappy]

How about someday, someone uses the same word in Hokien profanity?. Does it sound cool or hip?. Or only English so hip?. Is there any difference?

It’s even more interesting that she studied Communications. If sometime in the future she had to give a Press Conference, her clients would have their hearts in their mouth in case she utters a profanity out of exuberance.

After wactching the video carefully,I sincerely doubt this is a slip of tongue. It is a prepared sentence to make a statement.


What to do NTU is supporting it -
NTU released a statement on Sunday night, saying the mood was "highly-charged" at the point of her speech, and believes that she was likely to have gotten carried away. (not carried away, she is experiencing climax in the public)

Who is this FT - Dr Benjamin Detenber in the NTU. He aslo endorsed it.

Wonder what else happened in the dorms - DAYS and NIGHTS

i was on the bus the other day, this group of students in the uniform were talking very loud, each sentence must end with the F-word... i wonder it is because the frds are using so if they dnt use can get in the grp :?


even DS in his cc learn the F-word from his frds whose parents (i met one day) are also using the F-word at their child...

Dh has mentioned that he has witnessed, quite often, quarrelling couples at neighbourhood coffeeshops throwing vulgarities at one another while the pre-schoolers watches the exchange.

I agree with other parents how youngsters have become desensitized to profanity and simply follow the crowd (or stand out in certain groups) I have always drummed to my children- you need not follow what others do. Its always about wanting to do the right thing. Respect oneself and others around you.

Apology was in order and yes, all should move on. But very disappointed with NTU's response.

This is really sad, they need to churned out this kind of FT to compete with the FT.

that is how she communicates - the 'F' way.......and if anyone spot her on the street, just go to her and say 'F' instead of 'Hi'..... :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
