Our education system has reached a new all time low.<br /><br />Bet if WW2 history was retold as a best selling teen musical starring the Kardashians and the cast of Glee, it might make a hot twitter topic. <br /><br />Or perhaps if the Holocaust was the latest facebook game where you get to save or sell Jews depending on which side ur on (Allies/Nazis), these numbnuts might get a clue that the Fuhrer is not the latest German beer being served on tap @ Ecoba.<br /><br />Guess in a twisted way we still have alot of catching up to do with those damn yanks. After all their illiteracy/ignorance levels are many times higher. At this rate we'll probably meet them in less than 5 yrs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02227715324642254221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905869950878202286.post-65714261126561146002010-09-03T19:09:24.130+08:002010-09-03T19:09:24.130+08:00Kerp, thanks for the show of support hehehe.

We are friends, not enemies. we won't let the few get between our govts. Not to worry. Let them burn our flags, but please tell our students and malaysian citizens not to wear traditional dresses like the b/kurung..kebayas..sarees..c-sams..do give on any indication of being remotely malaysia...please don't. you're asking for trouble. we won't be responsible if you do wear traditional dresses. remember, you are after all studying/working in a land that wanted to "ganyang" malaysia. dun play-play. take care of yourselves.<br /><br />coming back to my point - the wandering mind wonders...<br /><br />just imagining if you had asked them about:<br /><br />"auschwitz...treblinka..yu know?"<br /><br />response:<br /><br />"whoa..new band? cool what they play early sodom mix with kreator thrash ka?".<br /><br />or<br /><br />"coupe - yu know?"<br /><br />reponse:<br /><br />"koo-pay ah..yes, yes, i manage to try some last week..tastes good with dried cocunut gratings..but not to much santan..".<br /><br />sigh.<br /><br />blardy hell. even tuan kerp knows who the hell bloody tamana is, and she is not even near-slutty as i would have liked her to be :)<br />this is comparatively bad.<br /><br />good bang on the head for me chief. also, appreciated the sublime neutrality displayed in yer write-up, but choicefully choosing not to disclose the race or background of perp in question. discards baseless judgements.
