Any organisation, system or country, there is a need for an independent body to act as checks and balances. Without the existence of such a body, it is foolhardy to expect man to check himself.
Leaving man alone to his own device, his ego and arrogance will lead him to his own destruction. Without God, madness will triumph over all man.
That is why they said 'the world will go round and round' or history will keep repeating itself.
Redbean, 66.66% of Singaporeans are already worshipping a living God, so the system is checking itself in the foot. That's the tooth.

Laugh, and Think ;-)
only in america can such talkshows be allowed. in less advanced countries, the two would be put behind bars, or stone to death.
ReplyDeleteHey Einstein, those videos were not "talk shows", they were performances—live shows actually written and thoroughly rehearsed, tickets sold, dvd rights secured—big money, serious business.
ReplyDeleteAnd why only (not only, but most likely) in America? Simply because FREEDOM is protected—in this case freedom of speech. When your freedom is secured, then you are FREE to make money.
Here's extremely talented Indian comedian Russell Peters (who performed in S'pore last year) getting down on Asians.

And if you "feel the spirit" sing AMAZING GRACE with Sarah Silverman, and all your sins will be forgiven. Once touched by God's Grace and His Love, you will be renewed!
wow einstein, matilah called me einstein!
ReplyDeletei know they are talkshows and looking at the audiences, they quite quite well supported.
shall we combined and do one in the indoor stadium? i think you won't even get it approve at the permit level. don't bother about booking the stadium and selling the tickets.
I'm glad you raised the point:
ReplyDeleteSingapore is a country where you need to obtain an Official Government Permit prior to performing some funny stuff in public.
Once you get that permit, you become an "officially approved and duly licensed" funny person, i.e. you are "legally allowed" to be funny.
Well, einstein-sunshine-piss-fart-whine... whatever, I'm talking about A Government who requires people to be properly "approved" before being funny—this it THE Government which the People deserve!
