Disclaimer: The following scenario is FICTION.
Euthanasia is a hotly debated topic around the world, some people believe that everyone should be given a chance to live, no matter how slender it is. It doesn't matter that hope is nothing more than a flimsy strand of thread. Others, on the other hand, have the mindset that if someone is weak to the extend that he or she no longer has control over his or her own life, they should simply be put out of their misery.
That being said, imagine this scenario:
Jimmy and Timmy are friends. Their friendship dates back some 2 decades. Thanks to their common believe that euthanasia is the right option, they became the best of friends. A few years ago, they began their own movement to promote euthanasia. This particular movement drew flak from critics who were against it. However, the two remained defiant.
Recently though, Jimmy pulled out from the movement, leaving Timmy along. He cited "people change" as his reason when questioned, stating that he now realised that euthanasia wasn't so much of "relieving the ailing from their pain" but rather "pure cruelty". People believe that Jimmy's move was actually because he simply wanted to be with the majority. This effectively meant that Timmy was quite isolated in his belief and hence, attracted the undivided ire of his critics.
From these 2 paragraphs, would you fault Jimmy?
I'm curious :)

Fucking random, but yeah. (I thought of this while playing SSF IV?!)
Had sudden recollections of my old house and the coffeeshop near it. In my mind was this scene, whereby it's a typical afternoon. The sun's shining peacefully up in the sky while I'm below, soaking up the freedom that comes with the dismissal from school. Mummy returns home with my lunch, a simple packet of cai fan. In it, (don't ask me why this of all things) there's a piece of tofu with minced pork and beans on it. No idea why it's playing in my head now but it is.
Oh well :')

Taken from baby's blog :)
Girls are much more than what they seem.
They’re more than just the makeup, the clothes, the shoes, the bags, the sunglasses, the outside.
They’re more than just whiny bitches.
We’re so much more.. Too bad some boys can’t understand.
A girl’s life is a bitch itself.
On a daily basis we deal with bitches, backstabbers, lies, boyfriends, crushes, exes, appearance, insecurity, bullying and so much more.
Everyday we wake up, we have to shower.
We have to fix our hair.
Then, we have to get dressed.
We spend hours infront of our mirror for you.
Making sure we look good.
Then we have to apply make up.
While doing all this, there’s so much to consider..
Especially gossipers and guys.
If something’s too short, they’ll call us a whore.
Something’s too long, they’ll call us ugly.
We go through buckets full of ice cream because we’ve had way too many broken hearts.
We cry because bitches wanna hate and boyfriends wanna bitch.
We can’t complain because we don’t wanna be annoying.
We trust people, then they end up stabbing us in the back.
We learn stuff the hard way.
Every guy out there making a period joke, like are you for real?
No.
Just because you’re being a little bitch and pissing me off doesn’t mean I’m on my period.
Get over it.
We get hurt multiple times, and keep running back to the same people.
We love hard, and hurt hard.
We care too much.
We’re never understood.
We go through so much trouble when you don’t even notice.
We listen to songs till five in the morning and fall asleep to it just because it reminds us of you.
We try so hard to impress you, while dealing with all that’s said about us.
After everything, we sit our asses down on tumblr and reblog everything that reminds us of you.
We spill our guts out to our bestfriends who’ve probably had enough of you.
We go on facebook and we check your profile a million times, and go through all your pictures.
Even if we have seen them all before.
We hear what people say about us, and sometimes we break inside.
But no matter what, even after everything, we have to come out strong.
We have to put a big smile on our faces and pretend like everything’s ok.
We have to act nice towards the haters, even knowing everything that they said about us.
We love even though we know we shouldn’t.
And we wait for something that’ll never happen.
But no matter what, we manage to act like everything’s fine, even though everything’s falling apart.
That’s a day in a girl’s life.
Imagine dealing with all that everyday.
We’re so much more than what you think.
So much more than what we seem.
...there are differences, but in essence, aren't guys just like that too.

"When karma turns around and bites you... What happens when you become the main source of the pain?"
...you ponder whether the real root of this pain is you.

"Like how you behave, I'll gladly embrace with you open arms and back stab you at the first given opportunity."
Yes yes, I hate you.

not just you per se actually. But rather ALL of you. Fucking hypocrites. Tsk tsk. You've got so many faces that you make Harvey Dent look bad. You boldly state your personal beliefs... but your actions contradict your words outright. But wait, before you even bother defending yourself, I'll say this first - I don't give a shit about you. Like how you behave, I'll gladly embrace with you open arms and back stab you at the first given opportunity. Hehehe?
I've been told that stereotyping is a dangerous policy because it causes me to overlook people's distinctive pros and cons. But you can't blame me, I've TRIED looking at you in a different light but you never managed to reward my faith. Too bad!
And then... there are the kids. Yes, the kids who crave attention oh-so-badly that they'd blindly follow the trends of today in order to "be one" with hip. Sadly though, they fail to notice the joke that they become in their pursuit of fame.
I don't even know where to begin...
Alright, how about the kids who seem to think that spamming their Facebook walls with posts describing their pathetic and sad life? They crave attention, they need people to pity them. If your life sucks that much, you either confront it like a true man or jolly well shut the fuck up and die (I'd choose this if I were you because you're taking up my oxygen)
Then there are the kids who think that they're coolxzxzxzxz because they're using outdated lingo which was the in thing some..... 5 years ago. Sheesh :/
To be honest, this list could go on and on with no end in sight. With that in mind, I might decide to list more examples in the future.
With that, I think I'll head off first.
I got blocked nose siolxzxzxz :'(
