agreed with what you say but sometimes, the behaviour of singaporeans when they are touring overseas make you want to find a hole and just disappear from among them

okay this another topic for another day :offtopic: :snooze:

this is where double standard is : we see such remarks freely floating and we demand for the \"blood\" of someone who mentioned \"dogs\".....sounds like the pot calling the kettle ......\"eh, you so black, huh ?\" .... ooops another 'racist' remark ....

You are saying \"tiong\" and \"abnn\" and \"pinoy\" is akin to same meanings as \"dogs\"?

Sorry, we're on very very different frequency and I totally disagree with what you say.

Tiong, abnn and pinoy refers to humans. Tiong is hokkien for \"Zhong\" of \"Zhong Guo\", which means China in hokkien.

I'm not sure how abnn (maybe related to clothing?) evolved but pinoy likely come from the word Filipino.

These words normally have some basis.

Calling someone a human term with basis is different from calling someone an animal.

Yes, after P1 reg... The nationalistic lot will fade away...
I will understand for those parents registrating from this year onwards... more anxiety.
Those not, or had missed the boat... No point adding fuel to fire...

a certain amount of nationalistic fervor is good, but not excessive or being blindly nationalistic resulting in more harm than good

agree!!! before we say others we have to first ask ourselves if we r doing the right thing too.
one of my colleauges often ask this question: if you go to public toilet and accidently pee on the surrounding, will you clean it? on the contrary if you do the same thing at home, will you clean it?

so i guess this is human being. I often see singapore cars throwing rubbish out of the windows on the highway in malaysia (whether they are malaysian or singapore i don't know) and one of my friends used to say this to me: in singapore I will be fined, in malaysia no, even if there is, it's nothing to me, ringgit is so cheap. I almost wanted to drill a hole for my head when we are being horned by other cars.

this will happen everywhere in the world, it is self discipline that counts. there are always good and bad SCs and FTs.
