jimworks, have you ever been to singapore? I just brought a bunch of family over from england and they all had the expectation that it was how you described it ashighly ordered and very controling, and yet they loved every second they were there, and wished that england was more like it.
yeah some of the laws may sound crazy, like flushing the toilet, but wouldnt you rather go to a toilet where you dont have to look at someone elses waste? alot of the laws are for personal hygene, and i think thats important since singapore is a tiny country with 4million people living there.
The people in singapore are much more upbeat and positive than anywhere else i have been. I was glad to leave england where so many people seemed to be depressed and it seemed that you couldnt walk down any street safely...my family said its gotten worse and my brother was randomly attacked twice while running.....the laws in singapore and the punishments deter people from wanting to commit crimes, people respect the laws and abide by them, it creates a good living society for everyone.
besides talking about gum....my sister and my mom who came over to singapore, told me that in england they are trying to limit or stop chewing gum, besides at least in singapore it is clean
and i understand the way you use the word nazi and the manner that you use it, and freedom of speech but in this forum as well as others i believe there are words that are blocked ex curse words, but whatever not important, i didnt say that you were calling airlines nazi's (if i did than that was my mistake, i didnt correctly write what i was thinking, so if thats the case i apologize) comparing them to what the nazi's did,
