Confucianism and Curry Fish recipe
What has Confucianism and curry fish got to do with Singapore's success? In a bowl of curry fish, there are fish, vegetables and curry water. A few will get to eat the fish, some will be happy to have the vegetables and some would end up with curry water. Then some will clear the leftovers.
Our success is to be able to convince everyone that those who got the fish deserve to eat the fish, those who got vegetables and curry water deserve rightfully deserve them too. And the cleaners are there to clear the rubbish. In Confucianism, it is to see to it that everyone is happy in their own station in life.
Singapore is lucky to find this secret recipe and balance. Everyone accepts their station in life and all under heaven is peaceful. It will only break down when the curry water consumers or vegetable eaters think that they should get a piece of the fish.
So far so good. Even the cleaners are happy.

Reminds me of Animal Farm, the Pigs having the milk and the windfall apples. Unless the Pigs get the milk and the apples, Jones will return!! No one wants that!!
I believe you can edit the previous comment "Jesus H M*****F****** Christ" with more sense than before.
For example: "Jesus Christ!" or just delete the whole expletive exclamation.

"Curry fish"? There are too many metaphors. Are motherfuckers so afraid of the truth and telling it as it is that they have to cloak their speech under really fucking dumb metaphors.
Jesus...... Christ! What happened to intelligence? And if people really do need metaphors to shield the truth, at least pick interesting ones, as opposed to BORING quotidian out-of-context verbiage.

ok anonymous, amended. i slipped on this one.
matilah, i have deleted the offensive remark.
So you did... but you've also quoted it.
The words "mother fucking" before "Christ" are compound adjectives. Here is a reference:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/learnit/learnitv224.shtml
This particular compound adjective modifies the proper noun "Christ", as it was my intention.
What's so "offensive" about that? The Holy Spirit fucked Mary. And the Holy Trinity is 3 as one. Therefore "mother fucking Christ" is bibically correct.
Actually redbean, I consider your action of deleting my comment, in and of itself offensive. But hey, you have admin rights, so knock yourself out ;-)
