Gender Differences..

Many people should have tried and put up an argument about gender differences, they might be slammed for stereotyping woman and man, but inherently I feel there are definitely differences... Well i was looking at the Baby Blues comic strip... Dad sees a shopping note with "bread" on it, he walks into the super market and buys one loaf of bread, Mom sees the same note and exits with one trolleyof bread.... how true? You decide....

Men spend a lot of money on things they need... while woman spend a lot of money on things they don't need... how true? I don't know, at least the guys theory works on me. I am a miser or as some people say I am. I prefer to see myself as thrifty. Why bother paying T*psh*p their advertising fees and give them a bulge in their pocket when their stuff are overpriced and generally ugly? But this is how the real world works now: MARKETING. Now young kids are made to market themselves to prominent schools if their results fall short of the requirements: I can run, I can swim.... blah blah... I can't really market stuff... I see it as a subtle form of lying and cheating, maybe I think too much.

The A level results are out, I feel that something is different this year. I realise that the press is not harping on who got 4As, 2 S paper distinction and A1 for GP and the other AO subject. They are reporting about those students who overcame certain adversity to get a pass in A levels. Interesting, looks like top students don't get so much limelight... but i am still certain that they would get the top civil servant scholarships and be a high flyer in the public sector, and not those people who overcame semi-blindness and another guy who studied in hospital. It's realistic world, people would say oh my, this guy has great determination, I hope he gets into university...

If you missed Hotel Rwanda go shoot yourself, Oscars is bullshit, they didn't give the best picture to Hotel Rwanda, as I said, it's a realistic world, everybody wants to give Clint Eastwood some face.

Quoted from Hotel Rwanda : " Oh my god, that's terrible! After that, they would all go back and have dinner" A Western reporter on what would happen if the videos of the Rwanda Genocide by the Hutus on the Tutsies were to be shown on international TV....
