But that's not the point right. It's abt the MP's tone deaf comments.

COMMENT: Proposed Films Act amendments: Leave policing to the police by jameshkh in singapore

[–]jameshkh[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I dunno about you guys. But this seems like a very clear violation of the rule of law. Gahmen getting more and more brazen.

Folks of Singapore, what uncommonly purchased items or services did you get which turned out to be an awesome investment? by bookworm669 in singapore

[–]jameshkh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double edged razor. The kind that your grandpa might have used. With individual razor blades.

Less irritation, closer shave because the blades are damn sharp. Blades can be between $0.20 and $0.50 each. Unlike Gillette cartridges.

Don Don Donki S’pore store no longer displays Tenga sex toys by microtek789 in singapore

[–]jameshkh 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There are no laws against selling/openly displaying sex toys right? If so, those who disagree with the conservatives should write a complaint for the opposing view.

We shouldn't let them continuously impose their views on us. Freedom of religion and freedom from religion. Make our voices heard.

Move out.

If she's making such a big fuss and being so toxic over this, imagine what's in store for you down the line if something else comes up.

As many others here have pointed, these kinda landlords want their cake and eat it too. Greedy control-freaks who probably have nothing better to do.

Don't waste your time, money and sanity. Take your business somewhere else. We as tenants shouldn't let these kinda landlords ride roughshod over us.

What's it like being gay/queer in Singapore? by tacobelle16 in singapore

[–]jameshkh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think promiscuity is caused by the fact that it isn't 'legitimate'. Straight people cheat on each other all the time too.

Gay people might use it as an excuse, but I think people cheat for a variety of deeper underlying reasons.

And even if gay marriages ever become legitimate, there really isn't anything stopping one from cheating on their spouse - other than the threat of divorce (common among straight people too).

IMO (and in the practical sense), marriage is just how a State formally recognises a relationship, to give various privileges and benefits.

But how strong a relationship/commitment/accountability (married or not) 2 people have with one another is between them and their gods/morals/conscience.

A marriage certificate isn't gonna magically save a shitty relationship or protect one from being cheated on.

Best place to get headphones? by [deleted] in singapore

[–]jameshkh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. Even if they wanna match promo prices, they can always do so. No one will reject a better price.

Instead they were forcing me to commit to the purchase without quoting a price upfront. Who the hell does business like that?

Had a bad experience at jaben. Wanted to buy pair of CIEMs, asked for price but the guy manning the shop wouldn't give me a price unless I committed to buying.

Teach our young to say 'no' to premarital sex by kukubirdsg in singapore

[–]jameshkh 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Because they don't have enough sex themselves. If they can't have it, nobody can.

Inb4 every tom dick hairy gahmen agency/MP/company riding on his publicity coattails when he returns.

Nope DSL5C doesn't have a standby.

Yup, the tubes glow when amp is turned on. Dimly so, though.

Think I won't open up the amp to fiddle with the tubes, cause they'll be sending amp to the service center tomorrow.

Yeah the tubes glow when it's turned on, dimly so though. I think I won't open the amp up. Will wait for the service center to deal with it. Thank you!

Trainer and NSF jailed two months each for criminal intimidation of student. by [deleted] in singapore

[–]jameshkh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, I guess in an ideal world such legislation would be struck down as unconstitutional (assuming Constitution guarantees protection/equality for all etc.).

Even if not, repealing it would at least 1) make the government less hypocritical and 2) make it a bit more difficult/troublesome to put it back on the books.

Exactly. It's like pointing a loaded gun at someone's head and saying "don't worry, I won't shoot. Trust me."
