Stupid Is As Stupid Gets
Our local dailies have been reporting the most absurd quotes from our ragbag collection of high and mighty quack politicians. If you have something to say and you want the entire nation to listen, please put in some effort not to appear foolish although intelligence is clearly not in your genes.
There are many, but this one takes the cake. I have to highlight this. I JUST HAVE TO. It’s stupidity at its’ best:
Someone said drug users should be “marooned on an island instead of allowing them the hotel-like luxuries at rehabilitation centres. Let them survive on the island's worms and moss.”
I mean, seriously guys.
This clearly shows the speaker’s lack compassion and empathy towards our own kind.
What happens if a person in a moment of weakness turns to vice for whatever reason? I am not a user myself but hey, it happens. Should they be scorned for all eternity and condemned to everlasting hell even before meeting their maker? Who are we to judge? Everybody sins. At this point, the speaker has already committed the cardinal sin of being judgemental and unforgiving before you can say “Syawal.”
Btw, isn’t November still the month of forgiveness?
Somebody hand me a migration form. Quick.
