The Singapore Solution

National Geographic Magazine said:

To lead a society, the MM says in his precise Victorian English, "one must understand human nature. I have always thought that humanity was animal-like. The Confucian theory was man could be improved, but I'm not sure he can be. He can be trained, he can be disciplined."

Confucius himself was a gangster in the days of old. During his time, Confucius went from state to state looking for a job as adviser to anyone who would accept him. Rejected by all the kings of China at that time except for one silly king who appointed him as adviser to the king. Once appointed, Confucius executed people who did not subscribe to one of his so called 'values' Slavery to the State is one of Confucius' value.

good read. classic ending.

"When I got to the top of the hill, I thought I might be rewarded with a view of the entire city-state. But there was no view at all—only a rusting communication tower and a cyclone fence affixed with a sign saying "Protected Place" and showing a stick figure drawing of a soldier aiming a rifle at a man with his hands raised.

Later I mentioned this to Calvin Fones, the shrink. "See, that shows the progress we've made," he said. "Until a few years ago, we had the same sign, except the guy was lying on the ground, already shot." And then, being a Singaporean, living a life he didn't believe possible anywhere else in Asia, he laughed."

now i understand why in churches, they tend to raise their hands. LOL.

First off, all these Down Syndrome Cloned Chink Fucks are next in line for extermination.I work out of the western "Exodar" facility. We have the bio agent ready in nanotubes that will start this process. My council has chosen Singapore as the release point. Enjoy!
