Some things can be spoken, some can't

Speak your mind freely, but, one needs to have a little introspection to know that there is a limit to this statement. I would like to tell the world that I am a grad and my genes will produce another generation of grads. Please come and share my goodness. Telling this as a joke is acceptable. But telling this as a serious proposition is a no no. Why would people insist on saying such things? Sheer arrogance, or trying to tell the world of their good fortunes, that they are blessed? It can be a kind of conceit, or maybe deceit, that nature's endowment is forever, can be passed down through generations like monetary inheritance. Unfortunately, life or fate, has the habit of playing the most wicked jokes on human beans. When you think all is won, you can end up the loser. Or when all is lost, you may still come out the winner.

When people act like god, talk like god, they think they can say anything and get away with it. So, if by such an argument, the whole country is populated by graduates, every single one, then what? You may then find graduates driving buses, cleaning toilets, cleaning tables, sweeping the roads, guarding homes, selling chicken rice, etc. That's all there is to it.

much as it does not go well with the ears, it is no less true nevetheless. A fact those who takes fancy to china's beer ladies must know, if you want it rough and raw, you just have to live with the consequence. good luck.

Fancy China ladies? No problem, go ahead. When one gets a China National to marry, one maybe contributing to the CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS between a democratic coutry and a communist nation.

Good for international relationships, good for everybody.

Even graduates marrying graduates can sometimes produce less desirable results. It is also the unspoken truth of the universe. I happen to believe in karma.

A long long time ago someone said that grads must marry grads to produce intelligent offsprings. I cannot remember who said that but I think he is an idiot. What nonsense!!

Can you be specific?

not to tell people that they are of inferior stock because they are not grads. it hurts deeply.

The reason behind what I say is because we each make our own emotions in our bodies and minds.

That isn't to say that emotions are not "authentic". It is OK to feel a little anger, even indignation if you see someone wantonly litter (say), because it violates your standards. It is not OK however to feel unstoppable rage and to go and hammer the anti-social piece of shit.
