the comparison is quite warped.

 

democracy means freedom to do anything as long as it is not encroaching on another person's freedom.

 

rape is an act that is encroaching on another's freedom . of course if the other party is willing, then it is no longer and encroachment and therefore not rape but copulation.

 

this is the standard of argument pap mp dishes out? oh gosh

Chey it's not the MP's words. He took the quote from Terry Goodkind. But why he put it in his fb? What is he trying to point out exactly?

Think hes trying to say democracy with anarchy is bad.

 

But many miw ppl always believe things should be run the way miw wants. Diversity would lead to chaos.

 

I beg to differ cos history has shown time n again absolute power corrupts. Democracy is not perfect, but its the best in this imperfect world.

I think most will react once they see "gang rape" and the understanding of the point that is being put across becomes bias or warped.

The fact that most point fingers to Zainudin as the originator than quoting Terry Goodkind, also speaks much.

 

Less emotional more rational please.

is good that some see the light and can analyse, but most will just cry foul with the quote and not see the holistic peekture

Be it his word or not...if he put it in his facebook...meaning he is ok with the quote..

 

Then, you, my friend, have failed to grasp the exact meaning laid out in para 2 and 3.

Maybe he trying to be deep and intellectual by quoting Goodkind (want to be intellectual write your own) but now backfired.

 

You'd think by now these public figures would have realised that they need to be careful with what they say/post because a) the general public is not very bright and doesn't seem to read past the first few lines and b) there are many people out there just waiting to jump on their cases.
