millions of precepts and commandments....
i think i have more than several thousand dollars' worth of money in my mouth with all these crowns and fillings but still i had a hell of a tooth ache last night and it was sunday and even in this muslim majority country where less than 10 % of the citizens are christians we had to have a weekend on sunday and not a friday as a muslim majority country should have and of course you couldn't find any dentist anywhere on sunday ...even in this muslim majority country ,unless if you stay in a place like kb where we have friday as a weekend but not that is , if you happen to live in a wog place like K fucking L which i happen to be for the last several years...so i had to endure an excruciatingly painful tooth ache day and night till monday (today) to go and see the dentist... and there wasn't anything really good on tv and even olympics couldn't distract me from my tooth ache...and so i picked up one pirated dvd at random and slotted it into my cheap chinese DVD player and it was a very good thing i did that... it happened to be a very good ridley scott's directed movie american gangster . it is lying there for ages among all the rest of still unwatched pirated dvds that i bought from the great pirate capitals of the world, you know saigon, hanoi, bangkok,manila, beijing and petaling street.......and if you like ballsy movies with brains this is just the thing for you. and watching all those violence and gore eased my pain somewhat...but what i liked best was this very brief sex scene where the good cop robert was screwing his legal counsel and she panted... of fuck me, fuck me like a cop not a lawyer...
now here's the thing about morality and lawyers... morality first: nobody in his (or her) right mind will say that watching pirated movie is doing the right thing...but consider this... if you happen to live in malaysia which doesn't take too kindly to movies where dialogues have fucking this fucking that, motherfucker this motherfucker that and bonking scenes and nude scenes the chance of watching an unexpurgated movie of this kind (which american gangster is an example) in the cinema is just about zero...i don't know if we can buy an original uncut movie of the same because i never in my life ever buy an original dvd...when i'm in malaysia that is...
now you might say, what a bastard i am... and you may be right too... but considering everything i think i'm a much lesser bastard than say that asshole ezam mohd noor who one day sang one tune and the next day another or that shithead saifool bukhari... who made a police report claiming to have a (consensual) homosexual intercourse with anwar...if it was consensual why the fuck make a report eh? or badawi's son in-law khairi jamaluddin who( if mahathir is to be believed) has his tentacles (khairi's) in every thing and messing up the country like it is his father in-law's property (or perhap's that's precisely why the bastard did it and probably still does) ...so in the scheme of things as i say...
and lawyers... i never understand lawyers...perhaps that woman lawyer in american gangster knows better , at least when it comes to sex....anyway, take this bar cauncil forum on 'embracing islam' on saturday...admittedly i don't know much about it , what's it's goal and purpose. but i know this. to many muslims, this is viewed as meddling into muslims' business where non-muslims don't have the right to. simple as that. what would christians feel if muslim lawyers association for example held a forum with the goal of changing the law to enforce malaysian christians to worship another jew say ehud olmert as god for a change instead of jesus?
i assume lawyers have good brains ( not as good as us scientists of course ) but why the hell they still want to do the thing that they fully well know will touch on the sensitivity of the muslims?... now the thing with muslim is this... muslims have its own specific world view , you may agree with some of it and may not with some . you may think muslims are an intolerant lot ..not like say hindus and christians and buddhists ...but you can't equate muslims with non muslims...
i read someone's comments in one political blog recently...his question is this...christians have 10 commandments, buddhists have eight precepts, what do muslim have?...this is a very good question but also shows how ignorant this guy is about islam... for islam have millions of precepts and millions of commandments...not just ten or eight...you can't even go into the toilet without shall we say observing certain muslim protocols... you can't even have a lawful sex with your lawful wife without observing shall we say muslim protocols... and that's precisely the complaints and insults made by salman rushdie in his satanic verses...which gets muslims and myself included all riled up... and it goes without saying that it is all too easy for non muslims to encroach and perhaps unwittingly intrude into areas where nuslims will not compromise....and this forum on conversion is one of them....bar council should understand that... why meddle into things which you have no business poking your nose in?
it's true and unavoidable that conflicts may arise when some aspects of muslim and non muslim life gets intertwined as in the case of marriages and conversions for example. but since muslims have millions of commands and precepts you have to play by the muslim rules when you're a muslim...and muslims certainly recognize that for non muslims you can play by your religious rules if there are any ...and we respect that... but don't go trying to meddle in a business where you have none...
for a take on the muslim thinking about this you'd do well to read this and this for a start....
but enough of all this nasty stuff...
i'm going to end with something completely different and personal ... decompression time. here's a clip of my 85 yr old chimp solving rubik's cube under 4 minutes with a nice cheb mami music in the background...and you can see a small part of my library behind him...here
not a terribly impressive feat by world standard (there was a chinese 3-yr old girl solving it under 2 mins somewhere on youtube...but i still can't figure out how the hell to do it...)
and this is where i usually tap tapping all this nonsense...
