West_end Neutral Newbie November 30, 2011 Share November 30, 2011 Lao Tzu writes: Why are the people starving? Because the rulers eat up the money in taxes. Therefore the people are starving. Why are the people rebellious? Because the rulers interfere too much. Therefore they are rebellious. Why do the people think so little of death? Because the rulers demand too much of life. Therefore the people take life lightly... (does numerous death cases in recent months, ring a bell?) Having to live on, one knows better than to value life too much. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evillusion Supersonic November 30, 2011 Share November 30, 2011 Lao li will write back: Why are the people starving? Because the rulers had open opportunities for them but they are lazy and do not want to make sacrifices Why are the people rebellious? Because the pple have forgotten that the previous generations have suffered and sacrificed so much. Therefore they are rebellious. Why do the people think so little of death? Because the people have lost faith in themselves so its not the government fault. Therefore the people take life lightly... (does numerous death cases in recent months, ring a bell?) Having to survive the onslaught of the alternative party, we know better than to value the meaning of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unidentified 1st Gear November 30, 2011 Share November 30, 2011 (edited) the revolution strikes back. Why are the people starving? Because the rulers had fully fed themselves with millions each year but squeezing the people dry except the elites. Why are the people rebellious? Because the rulers has open the floodgates for FTs and driving up the costs of living,nailing down sinkies wages and sinkies who jobless because FTs manager employ FTs to replace them. Why do the people think so little of death? Because they are forced to,due to circumstances directly caused by the rulers in the competitive country. Therefore the people take life lightly... (does numerous death cases in recent months, ring a bell?) Having successfully eliminate 1 GRC down.more to go next GE.we know the value of people power.
