Firstly, I want to thank you for commenting on my post.I disagree with your opinion that if we do not use oil, BP would not exist. I feel that businesses are everywhere, and if you think that if we do not eat there would not be markets and there will not be so many plastic bags. Don't you feel that it is wrong to think this way? Anyway, I do feel that it is not OUR wrong, and rather it is BP's problem because they did not listen to expert's advise and should spend more care and money on the BOP having known the consequences of a major oil spill, like Exxon Valdez.

I agree with Darrell, as my mother too felt that Singapore did not publicize enough in our own country, and only did so in other countries. I feel that though this will increase the number of tourists and expand our economy, in social affairs it is not doing good, because Singaporeans (Or at least me) will feel that we are not important in our government's eyes or not that respected as foreign people. Thus, I feel that Singapore should do something like a holiday or a special day that a school can go an watch YOG to fill up the empty spaces that Darrell mentioned.

Marcus, I think that your analysis was somewhat good, though it looked like it was copied. If it was really written by you, then good job. Anyway, thank you for this post as it will help me a lot in writing a literature essay in the future.

Yes, I agree with your post.Though I feel that you can elaborate more on why women are still biased now, but it was done well.

I think that Wilfred Owen is a very influential poet, and I like him because of his power in his poem and often the changing mood. I suggest you do an analysis of the poem written by him "The End".

CA- Flood
Today, I was an insurance company spokesperson for today's Current Affairs. I was overall satisfied with my speech, and had fun arguing with other people and debating around. Although I felt that some people did not prepare enough or even read the articles, I was pleased with today, because I had a lot of applause =D

Oil Spill
Nearly 80% of Gulf spill oil still in water: US scientists
I think that actually BP should not even have made this mistake. Given their prices of oil, they should be having higher standards and would check more oftenly if anything is wrong but BP still made the mistake. Now we have to face the consequences of oil in the water for a long time, possibly even forever.

China Mudslide
The massive mudslide happened in Gansu Province, and it caused 1,270 as of 5 p.m. Tuesday, with 474 still missing. I feel very sad for China, because the death toll is still increasing and China declared that it would be a mourning day the previous week. I think that the rest of the world, after seeing this new should help in a way, either donate money or do something good so that China can have better technology and more funds for predicting natural disasters to avoid the massive casualties.

Myanmar Elections
YANGON - MYANMAR'S first election in two decades will be held Nov 7, the junta announced on Friday, setting the wheels in motion for a long-awaited event that critics have dismissed as a sham designed to cement military rule.
The brief announcement was carried on state TV and radio, marking the first time the junta has given a date for the country's first polls since 1990.
'Multiparty general elections for the country's parliament will be held on Sunday Nov 7,' according to the brief announcement from the Election Commission, which also called on political parties to submit their candidate lists between Aug 16 and Aug 30.
Ahead of the polls, the ruling military junta has passed numerous laws and rules criticised by detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and the international community as undemocratic and unfair.
Ms Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy is boycotting the polls. It was disbanded in May because it refused to register.
The new laws effectively bar Ms Suu Kyi and other political prisoners - estimated at more than 2,000 - from taking part in the elections. -- AP
I hope that Myanmar would elect a good and wis government, but I am not insulting the current one. I just wish that Myanmar would get a better government so as to improve their economics and the situation their country is in, if not it is impossible to make any progress.

Oliver Fricker
THE High Court will deliver its judgment in the appeal hearing of convicted Swiss vandal Oliver Fricker against his five-month jail sentence on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old has been in jail for seven weeks since a lower court handed him a three-month and three-stroke sentence for spray painting an MRT train and another two months for entering a protected place at Changi Depot.
The then IT consultant pleaded guilty to the two May offences committed with alleged accomplice, Briton Dane Alexander Lloyd, 29, who is at large.
A third charge of vandalism by cutting the fence of the MRT depot belonging to the Land Transport Authority was taken into consideration.
On Friday, Justice V.K. Rajah allowed the prosecution's application to admit the previous conviction of the Swiss national.
The court heard that Fricker was placed on probation and fined in Switzerland in 2001 for damaging public property but the details of what he did were not known.
I feel that oliver fricker should be badly punished, because he should know the law before committing crimes such as vandalizing, especially on a public train. This action is despicable and it will be too late for him to apologize and appeal now.
