    We have homeless people littering the streets, a failed healthcare system with increasing infant mortality among other indicators, critical infrastructure failing…

    But I guess we got freedom? But we do know that we aint got is any policy without any sensibleness of common sense, facts peak for themselves.

    My mother had a friend there. Her camera was stolen so she went to the police. They kept her there for hours until she admitted she lost her camera, so it would look like there was less crime there.

    Do you live in the US? because this is what our pigs do:

      I never said ANYTHING about the US in my post. I’m merely pointing out that Singapore may not be the best example to use as a counterpoint.

        Singapore has proper socio economic policy with a bit of heavy handed handling of civil issues.

        US has inadequate socio economic policy backed up by idiots with guns that result in frequent unwarranted shooting of citizens.

        WORST OF BOTH WORLDS.

        US could learn a thing or two from SG

          Why do you keep talking about the US in response to me. I’m not arguing that. But saying that an apple is bad doesn’t make an orange good.

          That’s an analogy. Oranges are awesome.
