那台灣的缺點 - 文化差異

※ 引述《bluelygrey (納茲理王)》之銘言：
: 我們學校的鄰居校brighton uni 裡也是一位法律系的學生, 去年去巴基斯坦玩,
: 就因為他的膚色等被抓去Guanatanamo關了...我們已經參加了一堆抗議遊行,
: 目前還是無法把他救出來..
I am not going to say who is right or wrong.
Just a question: do you pretty sure everything is right about the jailed
people?
I don't know as I have no idea of it. So, I am not going to judge it now.

: 美國在中東發動戰爭,因為911恐怖份子殺他三千人,那美軍在伊拉克殺了兩萬
: 多人怎麼講? (數據是之前在BBC上看來的估計值)
So, would it be less or fairly fair if the American killed 2999 or 3000
exactly? I would be quite interested how you would comment this.

This issue cannot be judged just by counting the deaths...
I have told you, things are not so simple.

: 當然身為一個國家元首,往往必須把國家利益擺在前面. 但是我只是一個小百姓,
: 我身邊的許多人也都只是一個小百姓. 身為一個小百姓, 我們看不到
: 搶不搶到中東的石油對我們有多重要, 我們只知道開著坦克戰鬥機衝到人家家裡
: 殺人, 是喪失人性與良知的行為.
Just believe me, oil is really important, unless you are going to be a people
living in 15th century or earlier. Similar, there were salt, iron, coffee and
food, etc; all are very important.

I am not going to say who is correct. However, for a general people in
2006, there is no excuse not knowing the importance and affects of energy.
The oil price directly link to so many things relating to daily life...
If you are not going to complain things like electricity bill price increases
100% or whatever, you can forget my words.

Also, in a democratic state, you cannot differ from the manner of the
president and the people, because that is your choice, or major choice,
of who got to be the president. Being a president, the guy got to try to
satisfy the majority of the people. There were some best balance points between
oil and living standard and they got to find them out. Additionally, when
you say the president got to care of the interests of the nation. However,
what is the interests of the nation? Doesn't this also include your share?
(In fact, you are enjoying it when you watching BBC... That is a lot of energy.)

To watch TV and complain are usually much easier than to do it.
I am not saying do not watch TV nor do not complain...
I just suggest, keep thinking.
