This is only a political social test. For those who are mentally unstable, please avoid this topic.
Imagine you are living in a HDB 3 corridor unit flat. You are an atheist and live alone. Your neighbours on both sides are taoist, and pray daily with joss sticks at a certain hours, besides the regular prayer sessions which usually comes with burning of incense.
The smell permeates all over your house. You are one of those who are sensitive to smells. Initially when moved in after depleting your CPF and savings, you bear it, but in time, you can no longer tolerate it.
1. You tried to seal off the smell, but it proved impossible, even with close windows and aircon.
2..You tried to talk to your neighbours, but they scoff at you, decrying their freedom of worship.
3. You quarrel constantly with them, but to no avail.
4. You complain to your MP and lawyers to mediate, but to no avail. Freedom of worship is for all, on our high population density island.
5. You call the police to mediate, but the police cannot be there mediating and guarding your house all the time.
One day, when the smell is highly beyond bearing, coupled with your inability to solve the issue, in rage, you stare at the chopper laying on your kitchen table.....and wonder....
Question:- What would stop you from grabbing it and having a go with it at your neighbours, then turn the knife on yourself?
PS: You know that by law, you will hang for murder.
my reputation.
i have a fear of blood, so i wont kill people
My self-control.
knowing it's wrong and a waste to waste 2 or more lives just like that and not contributing to society's well being?
TS,
you must be quite stupid to post such questions...
there are so many ways to handle the situation and why do you assume that when people see the chopper ... they will then want to kill the neighbours..
Bo liao... perhaps you are the only one who will behave in such mad way.
tolerance
the knowledge that my life will be ruined by Impulse. and killing with a chopper messy, the cleaning up is off putting.
Thank you all for your free will participation. I sincerly appreciate it.
Thanks to you too, January for your criticism. But this is forum, and you have the absoulute fullest right not to participate, of which i will respect and honour that right, being a Singaporean myself.
However, I seek your view IF you are in that similar situation, and not if my question posed was intelligent or stupidly crafted, of which I will get no rewards anyway.
Should that be impossible for you, to step outside of your self centred self and step in another's shoes, I will not hold it against you. You have a right to self centredness too, a right which others will judge you for.
To Solechip, your 'knowledge' is intriguing. How did such knowledge came about and would that be in your formative years, during our country's - our people's subsidized education and training facilities?
I apologise if i cant answer to everyone else, but your views are valuable insights nevertheless to others, should they be caught in a similar situation if not in the exact dilemma. Thanks again.
Cheers.
I highly recommend air purifiers in such a case... Keeping the windows closed and aircon would definitely be helpful.
As for the chopper, thats just madness.
If not, one days just start burning cowdung... say you got no money to buy fuel... =D
well it beats having a neighbour who smokes by my corridor all day long.
i guess i've been conditioned to think that way. i'd be wary of rocking the boat by giving in to immediate gratification and killing my neighbour. doing so guarantees bad results. also, it makes more sense to be live and let live lor, even if doing so may be absurd and useless and so invisible it goes unnoticed and unappreciated by The Neighbours.
as for how, isn't that the purpose of this test? for you to illustrate who and what's responsible for our reactions?

You are certainly observant.
Someone once said: - "What makes 'stupidity' really insufferable is that it is forever in action - idiocy knows no rest."
Moderators.. please move this thread to the jokes and humour forum.
well some shit just keep burning those sticks which creates pollution in the HDB.
some law just allow them to do it.
They burn alot and it smoke out the place. but no body cares.
If i am you, i will throw their items away, u know, the item for them to put the sticks inside. everytime i see them in the public area (area in the corridor and no inside their house is public area).
I will throw and throw. every night. every time. make sure they don't do it again.
I will shout back at them saying it is public area.
A way to solve your problem. throw their item away

Read up more about their religion and understand it, gradually you will understand their practices.
Ha-ha.

But I donch burn my old clothes.. I take theirs slippars and burn it for the lubber.
If they ask me who I pray to.. I say me pray to the diety Orh Sim.
TS..thats why i hate chinese traditions of burning joos papers..i have sensitive nose too..all this burning on top of the stupid indons responsible for burning my forests really helps to make things better..
My belief in everyone should have Freedom Of Worship......
Freedom of worship doesn't mean no social responsibility.
If my Muslim neighbours do their morning prayers before daybreak silently or in low volume, it is acceptable.
If they insist on broadcasting their prayers with a megaphone or loudhailer, I will bring the issue up to my neighbour.
