firstly i'd like to thank you darcknight for your comments.. don't worry i won't get mad & i respect your opinion.
i just need to elaborate on some of the things i mentioned that you pointed out to me okies?
you said:
I'll throw this question to you guys, if PGMA is brought down by impeachment or whatever, WHO do you think will replace her?
I say:
si Noli De Castro...Vice President siya allowing myself to believe for a while in our Constitution
chocho says:
what i'm afraid of if noli gets elected as president, he may only be an easy target for the opposition. i like noli, most specially his projects like PAGIBIG. proud to say i voted for him along with PGMA. i really hope i will be proven wrong if noli indeed gets elected. i wish him to be strong & smart enough to repel any destabilizing attempts by the oppostion.
you said:
Do we really think that bringing PGMA down will solve our problems? Perhaps be under the wild delusion that we can kiss corruption goodbye?
I say:
I do so...bring the super structure down the rest of the corrupt will follow...just like what happened to ERAP, nakuha nila yung Boracay Mansion..
chocho says:
i respect your opinion on this. i just see politicos all on the same level. corrupt. i mean in my opinion though, we cannot eliminate corruption. no matter what we do because it's always gonna be there. sad as it is to say but it somehow has become a part of our culture. i'm not proud of that but let's just face the music. i'm just being realistic on this.
even if we take out PGMA now, what will be our guarantee the next one is better? the very slim silver lining here is if noli becomes the president, but then, given what the opposition are doing do you think they'll just sit & wait for that to happen?
you said:
I'm sure a good number of us here have seen the media coverage in the "shock & awe" bombings in Baghdad right? Have you noticed where the journalists where situated? A very good distance AWAY from the bombings!
I say:
Baghdad is NOT the PHILIPPINES, were you can go out and see who is winning or losing in the shooting (coup attempts), by golly BOMBS ARE BOMBS even the best Generals don't stay within striking range of bombs, and I think that footage you saw is featured in National Geographic, that is there JOB to REPORT whatever consequence it might bring them...YOU DIE, IF YOU DIE you don't have to worry about media di mo na kargo yon DI MO TRABAHO YON, TRABAHO NILA YON, angain worry not...
chocho says:
bro, don't take that literally. i'm simply making a comment that our media is abusing their so called "press freedom." i perfectly understand it is their duty to report but what i would have preferred to see was them reporting on the outside when they were to told to get out. the media was so stubborn they were like being a child being told off but not heeding the parent's word right away.
it is their job to report whatever the consequence. you die if you die you say. would you prefer to see our media get shot or get harmed if the situation called for throwing grenades or firing shots at the opposing end?
again, i'm not worrying. i'm simply making a comment.
you said:
That's despite the fact that US bombers have near perfect, very high precision skills(with all due respect to our military & police people). Now that's professional journalism!
I say:
Ang alam ko nandon ang ABS-CBN, GMA Network and other Philippine Media Entities di ba?...now they are professional?
chocho says:
i'm sorry, i don't quite get what you're trying to point on this section. are you asking if they are professionals? but from what i understand, those media people are claiming(at least, that's what i think they are) that they're doing professional journalism. that's why i compared them to what i see as the real pros. covering the news live while keeping themselves safe(at least to some extent that is).
you said:
Guys, there's also a thing called "karma" in case you might not have met her. You know how the songs goes, "what goes around, comes around"?
I say:
this is only part of the lyrics, but i never sang it with what goes around, comes around...
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
only justin timberlake sang that tune (what goes around, comes around)
chocho says:
hehehehe i never thought i would get a comment on this but the song i was referring to was karma by alicia keys.. nyahahaha
you said:
In my opinion, shutting up, stop complaining, do what you have to do to earn money is the most sensible thing to do.
I say:
I'M NOT A SHEEPLE, (look for it in the internet)
chocho says:
well you can say i may be a sheeple but personally, i just go & do my job, earn money, pay bills, buy stuff i want & that's it. i really don't mind what everyone else is doing, except that can really affect other people. can that be considered as being sheeple?
you said:
Why? Tell me one solid, logical reason why I should waste my time rallying & making my voice heard over deaf ears instead of doing what I CAN have control over something we CAN'T?
I say:
I cannot tell anybody or anyone what to do, siguro di ka pa kahit kailan nakapag-attend man lang ng kahit na anong rally, ano? WHY DON'T YOU TRY IT o baka naman masakit mapalo ng mga pules, mainit ang sikat ng araw, mangingitim ako, pagpapawisan ka lang, baka magalit tatay ko o nanay ko, baka mamukaan ako sa TV, pagtatawanan lang ako ng barkada ko...i did say TRY IT pero ikaw pa rin ang magdedesisyon, yun naman ang trabaho natin magdesisyon sa ganang sarili.
chocho says:
my take in attending even a single rally is a waste of time. why should i attend a rally about tuition hike? will the university decide not to push through with tuition increase? why should i attend rally about fare hike? will the operators hold back & not push through the fare increase? why should i attend a rally about bringing out the truth in our government? when i can just rest well & get ready for my job TO EARN MUCH NEEDED MONEY. that's my opinion. i'm not saying attending a rally is wrong. i just don't see much sense in attending one. i'm too busy to attend one. that's the militants job.
you said:
To make it simple & as plain as your white t-shirt, ALL politicians are CORRUPT. Be it here in our beloved country, or ANYWHERE else in the world! All politicians lie and cheat one way or the other, DIRECTLY or INDIRECTLY.
I say:
so we stop complaining blah, blah, blah tapos ang problema TAMA?
chocho says:
again i would like to make it clear to everyone that I AM NOT COMPLAINING. i am simply MAKING A COMMENT. clear? as i've said, complaining won't take you anywhere.
