Is Democracy Totally, on the, Collapse in the World?

Commentaries about how democracy is actually, demoCRAZY here, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The top two headlines; from a day ago, all the major newspapers are reporting on how the former president, Lee, “Mr. Democracy” passed; the following day, almost all the major papers are reporting on how the five former and current legislators had, taken the bribes.  Thirty years ago, the former president, Lee in order to let the more experienced representative to take his place, to reform the legislatures, he’d become noted as “Mr. Democracy”.  But, thirty years after the development of this democracy, the key lawmakers of the major parties were found to have taken the bribes from the enterprises, and this showed, how democracy doesn’t mean getting the citizens in directly voting for the president, it’d clearly, shown us, that it’s, too difficult a task, for the politics of democracy to head down the right tracks.

Four years ago, after Trump was elected as president, his methods of ruling the country, using his awful, wayward speeches and behaviors, tearing America apart, it’d made people started doubting democracy.  Taiwan followed closely behind too, these few elected representatives of the people, are a verification of, just that.

Actually, there’s, the corruptive characteristics of democracy.  Democracy is based off of majority ruling.  But, everybody neglected to note: all the major decisions, all involved the assignments of benefits; and, there is, a “cost of the deal” in every single decision.  What is meant by “cost of the deal” is how we needed to, compromise, in order, to reach an agreement; and the more people are involved, the bigger space we’ll need, and, as the number of participants increased to hundreds, thousands, even, millions, it would be next to impossible, to find a place to have all the people gather, let alone, having these participants find a time they’re all, available, and how they’re to, reach, an agreement on everything it’s even, harder still.  And the high price that we’re paying, is, the cost of a democratic, government.

And based off of this, democracy happens, at too high a cost, and yet, people are still pursuing it, blindly, thinking that if they cast a vote, then, their governments are, democratic, without realizing, those lawmakers are, manipulating the masses, by using the ambiguous wordings, to confuse the voters (like this last election I voted in, with the various issues of same-sex marriages, sex ed in the elementary years, etc., etc., etc.), and, this is, a test of the citizens ability to, think critically, but, mostly, when it comes to the votes, we let our emotions lead the way, instead of our heads, and that is precisely why, the world is, headed toward H-E-L-L!!!

 

 

The American Secretary of Defense May be FIRED for Defying Trump on His Call to Draw Back the National Guards on the Marches

“You’re FIRED!!!”, no, we’re still, not “tuning in” to, The Apprentice, it’s how the current AMERICAN president (and no, still did NOT vote in that LAST election!!!) is currently doing!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The American President, Trump Stated, that if the Protests Get Out of Control, He Will Sent the National Guards Out.  The Secretary of Defense, Esper strongly Advised Against this on the Third, stated that He isn’t in Support of the Currently Enlisted Servicemen and Women to Help Keep the Peace, He’d, Talked BACK to the President Openly.  The New York Times reported, that Trump was Furious over Esper’s Words, and this also showed, how Trump’s Using Force, had Caused Chaos in the U.S. Military.

The New York Times reported, that the high up level officials of the D.O.D. worried, that sending the servicemen and women out onto the streets would lead U.S. into a state of martial law.  Asper stated openly, that he was, against sending the troops out, to dissipate the protesters, that only under extreme circumstances, will the currently enlisted servicemen and women be called to duty, “We are not in that condition right now!”

After the press conference by Esper, the D.O.D. immediately called back the 1,600 troops.  But, after Esper went to the White House for a conference, he’d, cancelled the order for the troops to be, sent away, the troops were standing by.  The New York Times quoted the reports from White House officials, Trump grilled Esper in the White House.

Members of the press asked, that as Esper spoke up against the president’s using the riot laws, did he lose the trust of the president, McEnany stated, that the president has “absolute power”, to use the law, to keep the peace, that the U.S. will NOT tolerate the burning of churches, the police forces getting SHOT at, the shops getting broken into, this is the power of the president, and tools at his, disposal, but currently, he has, no plans of imploring such measures, because after the National Guards stationed in, D.C.’s safety improved.

Based off of CNN, Esper’s behaviors had already, displeased Trump and the head of National Security, O’Brien; actually, there’s been tension between the Pentagon and the White House, because Trump didn’t weigh Esper’s opinions enough, the head of the D.O.D. didn’t have actual power, and on the matter of defense, Esper had to compete with the secretary of state, Pompeo for power.

In Minnesota, the four former police officers who’d killed Floyd were all prosecuted and indicted on the third by the Minnesota attorney general, Ellison, the primary suspect, Chauvin’s crimes were elevated to “Second Degree Murder”, while the other three members of the police force are charged with “aiding and abetting second degree murder”.

The riots are still ongoing in the U.S., there are the national guards, the servicemen in camouflage on the streets of D.C., the cases of robbery in New York on the rise.  But, mostly, around the U.S., the protests had returned back to peaceful, and there’s, a reduction of confrontations compared to days ago now.

And so, this, is how Trump did NOT have enough leadership ability, and, it also showed, how Trump would NOT allow for anyone who has, a different opinion than his own, he just, FIRE them, take them out of his, cabinet, and this, is what’s, currently, happening in one of the, “freest” countries in the world.

The Riots in Baltimore, “It’s as If There’s an Anarchy”

Unrest in the world here, from the Front Page Sections, translated…

Entering into a State of Emergency, the Rioters Committed Arsons, Smashed the Cars, Committed Robberies………Fifteen Officers Injured, Five Thousand Militia Men were Stationed

On the 27^th, in Baltimore, Maryland, there was a serious riot, several thousand went into mourning for a young African American, Greg, while he’d tried to resist arrest and was shot fatally, by the police, the riot started just a few hours after his funeral, the rioters set the shops on fire, burned the police vehicles, assaulted the police officers, the Governor of Maryland declared it a state of emergency for the state, and a curfew is enforced, and sent out five thousand civilian militants to keep the orders.

Over a hundred of youths got into confrontation with the police on the 27^th, there were more who’d taken advantage of the situation, the police were fully equipped as they’d gone to the scene of the riots, and would use pepper sprays from time to time, to threaten the rioting public.  The streets became overflown with broken glasses and trash, the group of rioters gathered in smaller groups, smashed shops, destroyed the patrol vehicles, set the building, and the parked cars by the streets ablaze, there were also those who’d driven to the malls, and took the merchandises without paying, Maryland seemed to have fallen under anarchy.

The New York Times reported, that the African American gangsters from the local areas told them, that as the riots started, the gangsters went to offer assistance to the shops owned by African Americans, to make sure that these shops won’t be attacked.  But, these gangsters had pointed out, which shops were owned by Asians, Middle Easterners, so they can smash the shops, to take out their angers.

The police arrested twenty-seven individuals, and said, that there were fifteen officers who were injured during the process, and, six of them are in critical condition.  On the early morning of the 28^th, the militia took over the streets, and, the situation in the city had calmed by a whole lot, and, the city’s employees and volunteers were starting to clean up the streets, but, there were, a lot of the building that fell to arsonists, still smoking.

The Governor, Hogan declared, that there would be a curfew set into effect, from ten o’clock on the 28^th, to five o’clock in the morning on the 29^th, and it will last a week, and, the underage minors are to follow this curfew indefinitely.

The mayor, Rawlings-Blake said, that the sight of the city being broken had broken her heart.  But, a lot of the residents believed, that the government didn’t act right away, as the riots started happening, causing there to be so much damages.

Gray was arrested on the 12^th of April, he was seriously injured, taken to the hospital, on the 19^th, he was declared dead, the cause of his death, multiple fractures on his spine.  A lot of the rioters believed, that Gray was tortured to death by the police, and, since the 19^th, there are protesters on the streets of Baltimore every single day.

And so, this, is another case of race at war, and, this, is bound to happen, because people finally decided to do something, about the unfair treatment of people of different colored skins, and this, is still just the TIPS of a HUGE iceberg, and, because the citizens felt that there was an injustice that weren’t righted, and so, they’d taken matters into their own hands, after all, the government is NOT doing anything about it.

Is the Child’s Oversensitivity a Behavior Problem?

So this, is what the parents have to cope with, with a way-too-sensitive child at home, huh???  Translated…

“Your daughter is so very quiet—have you ever considered, taking her to the doctors?”

“Jody is so easily hurt.  If she sees that other children were picked on, she’d cried too.  When she’d heard sad stories, she’d cry.  We don’t know what to do with her.”

“Everybody in the kindergarten is eager to participate in group activities, but, your son just refused.  Is he also this stubborn at home too?”

Do these lines sound familiar?  Of course, these words can get to you, as if, your kid’s the one with the problems, but, your child has a keen sense of observation, shows a lot of care and concerns toward others, and is very sensitive.  You knew real well, that if you heed these words, forced him to get socialized, the child would be in a whole lot of pain.  And, if you go with the flow of your child’s personality characteristics, s/he might be well-off.  And still, as the same words keep coming up, you’d started doubting, whether or not you’re fitting as a parent, and that you might be responsible, for your child, behaving the way s/he does.

How to Education Children Who are Too Sensitive?

You feared, that you may be doing things wrong, worried that no one can help you.  You might have already realized, that most of the parenting books all talked about “behavioral problems”, such as getting agitated easily, distracted, rough, attacking.  From this angle, there’s NOTHING wrong with your child.  There were NO mentions of the problems you’d encountered, eating problems, being too shy, nightmares, worries, and, strong emotional outburst, for no apparent reasons at all.  And, you couldn’t discipline your child using normal methods, even IF you’d just criticized her/him lightly, your child would have a complete meltdown.

The Words of Advice from the Experts:

When people tell you, that something IS wrong with your child, don’t believe them, and don’t LET your child believe them either.  Your child is UNIQUE, that, is not your fault.  Naturally, there would be room for improvement in parent-child interaction techniques, but, don’t ever believe that something IS wrong with you, or your offspring.

Based off of studies, fifteen to twenty percent of the children in the population are born naturally sensitive.  And, with this great number, it’s hardly “abnormal”.  Besides, in ALL the species that’s been studied, there are JUST as high records of individuals in the population that are this sensitive.  And, IF that, is the result of evolution, then, there MUST be a reason for it, we just can’t see it is all.

There are many evidence that suggests, that people who are highly sensitive are NOT necessarily shy, nor are they all neurotic OR anxious all the time, or even, depressed.  For some of the more sensitive members of the population, these emotional responses are caused by environmental stimuli, NOT inborn traits.

What, is a Heightened Level of Sensitivity?

People who have a heightened level of sensitivity are more aware of the details in their surrounding environment, and, before they acted, they’d think, thoroughly first before they took the actions.  Whether it be adults or children, those who are sensitive usually have a higher level of empathy, more intelligent, has strong instincts, with creativity, more careful, with a lot of conscience.

They understood better, the result of their own actions, and so, they’re less willing, to do the wrong things.  They couldn’t cope well with higher volumes of sounds, or an influx of information coming to them at any given time.  They would avoid these stimuli, which makes them appear shy or distant from others.  If they couldn’t avoid the circumstances of being under too many stimuli, then, they’d become “difficult to deal with”, or “way too sensitive”.

Although those who are deemed more sensitive pay attention to the details more, but, they may not have a better sense of sight, hearing, taste, or smell.  But, there are those with a better ability in one of their sensory organs.  The key point here, is that when their brains processed the information, they do it more thoroughly.  Not just their brains, those who are deemed more sensitive also have a stronger spinal reflex too.  Their immune systems are more active, they are prone to develop allergic reactions to things.  Which means, that their bodies are designed, to understand and observe this world even MORE thoroughly.

So, just because your kid cries a lot, or wouldn’t play in groups, PARENTS and TEACHERS, that still doesn’t mean that there IS something wrong with the kid, something IS wrong, with Y-O-U, stupid adult, who work so totally FUCKING (oopsy!!!) hard, to FIT all those little ones, inside just ONE square, but hey, some of us are rectangles, triangles, rhombi, circles, along with an ASSORTMENT of shapes AND sizes, and, we still DON’T just FIT properly to the “norm” (whatever THAT is!!!), so STOP trying to FIT your young INTO certain boxes, and just love them for the way that they are, after all, they still did NOT ask to be BROUGHT to the “outside world”, you two ADULTS are the ones to have FUCKED, and, out still popped???  Oh yeah, those “pretty little MISTAKES” of yours, remember?  Uh, YEAH, and, D-U-H!!!

 

From Hope to Despair, a Group Suicide, the Experts’ Opinions on the Shooting at Prison

Dissecting the group suicide at the prison in Kaohsiung recently, from the Front Page Sections, translated…

Why did a group of inmates in the Kaohsiung penitentiary commit suicide together?  The experts said, that inmates with antisocial personalities are not good at impulse control, plus the environmental stimuli, along with being there for a friend, it could cause the behaviors of mass group suicide.

The long-term psychologist who was stationed at the prison systems, Ong said, that these inmates are repeated offenders, with antisocial personality characteristics, with the traits of being intelligent, after they’d behaved themselves in the prisons, they’d gotten paroled, but, not long after, they’d offend again, and get returned back to the cages, and the vicious cycle just keeps on repeating; because they have almost NO abilities to introspect, they’d felt, that the society had done them injustice.

Ong believed, that they may be displeased, at how they’ll be serving out the rest of their lives in prison, and, if there are some catalysts, they’d have the thought of give me liberty or give me death.

He said, holding the warden hostage and calling out to the television stations gave the inmates a sense of power, led them to believe, that they can actually get away, in the end, they’d realized, that they couldn’t escape, and, their expectations dropped to despair, and that, may have caused their behaviors to commit mass suicide.

And so, that, would be the shrink’s dissection of the matter, but, is it really so, we don’t know, or perhaps, none of those inmates felt that they can live with the fact, of serving life, getting tortured forever for whatever bad behaviors they’d done, they just couldn’t withstand the tortures from their own guilty consciences, who knows???

Seven Hundred Hand-Knitted Hats, Given to Elderly Who Lived Alone

The power of the masses here, translated…

The average age of seventy volunteer moms, in the urging of councilwoman, Huei-Jen Jaing, finished knitting a total of seven hats, and before the winter comes, they’re to deliver the items to elderly people who lived alone.  The volunteer, Liu told, that even though she’d just had surgeries on her eyes, she’d thought about the good she’s doing, she doesn’t dare slack off, and spent twelve hours a day, knitting away.

Jiang said, that the office she worked in, the volunteer, Chien, had taught knitting for over forty years, but, with the times changing, less and less people are taking it up, “I don’t have any place, to show my talents”, and so, she’d found manufacturers of yarn, to donate the material, to allow Chien, to teach the seventy volunteers how to knit, and, as the finished knitting the hats, they’d given it to elderly who lived alone.

The volunteer, Lin-Chang knitted sixty yarn hats in just two months, she said, I’m able to finish one per day, “And leaving ALL other household chores to my husband to do”, she could fry a fish, while she knits too!

And so, this, is how someone CAN help out, even IF they don’t have any specialty skills, they just put their heads together, and come up with an innovative way to make a difference in the lives of others, in this case, it’s the elderly people’s lives they’d managed to touch.

A Sex Ring of Women From China Used the Excuse of Seeking Out Medical Treatments to Sell Themselves Here in Taiwan

All I can say here, is sex STILL S-E-L-L-S, from the Front Page Sections, translated…

The specialist force from the immigrations services in the city of Taipei had busted a large sex ring, with women from China, and they’d arrested the transporters, the hookers, the brokers, along with the dorm manager, a total of twenty-five individuals, of the twenty-five, twelve ladies used the name of getting treatment to come to Taiwan, and they’d gone a several large hospitals, and after they were “weighed and measured, they were taken off by the drivers”.

The Immigrations Department told, that the ring is managed by a man, Wu, and a woman, Peng, and they’d made $500,000N.T. per day, and, their sex ring was set up just last year.  After the immigrations department interrogated the ladies who were here to sell, they’d sent the primary suspect, Wu, along with the mechanic, and thirteen others to the district attorney’s offices; the twelve women from China, are waiting, to be inquired by the D.A., then, they will either be detained, taken in by the immigrations, or to wait for deportation.

The team captain of the squad that made the bust, Hsieh said, that they Immigrations Department had chased the leads for over nine months, and, at the run down dormitory, next to a Buddhist worship center in Sanchong, they’d discovered the ring, and the ladies who worked all looked sexy, with the reputation of “Drive-Thru”, and, they’d get new girls every seven days.

Hsieh said, that the woman, nicknamed “Colorful Butterfly” was only twenty years of age, and is a second year college student at a certain art academy in China, this, was the second time she’d come to Taiwan to sell herself for sex, and claimed to her parents, that she needed to go to Beijing to attend some form of art training camps, and she had come here in June, to sell for sex, and came back in August again.  “Colorful Butterfly”, because she looked different, with a unique flair, with a good looking body, became the most-called-upon of the ring, and, the price she sold at started at $8,000N.T., and it goes UP to $12,000N.T.

Hsieh told the police that another woman, “Snowy”, has pale complexion, with a sweet voice, and her starting price was at $15,000N.T., and in a short two weeks, she’d taken on a hundred and TEN customers; but, the ring had taken seventy-five percent of her total earnings, and the ladies who worked couldn’t get that much from selling their bodies.

In order to block the “false claims of medical treatment, with the intentions of whoring”, the Immigrations Department stated, that starting on September 1 of this year, the medical centers will be screened, even harder, to prevent the ladies from coming from across the strait to sell themselves here.

And so, it is still the basic law of economics: supply and demand, IF there is NO demand for this sort of SHIT, you think that there would still be supply?  Hell no, and this still just shows you, how wayward those ladies’ value had become, and, this, is a HUGE loophole that a TON of bad people are weaseling through right now, but gladly, the government had decided to TIGHTEN up the rules now.

 

 

 

Because Someone Gave it a Five-Star Rating

 Because someone gave it a five-star rating, does that mean, that the place, the movie, or whatever it may be is good?  Of course N-O-T.  As the five-star rating, is still merely, JUST someone else’s opinions, and, there is absolutely NO way that two people have the same likes AND dislikes on this planet, even IF you are T-W-I-N-S!!!

Because someone gave it a five-star rating, does it mean, that it’s good?  And, what IF, you’d gone to that place that’s gained the reps of the five-star rating, and you didn’t like it?  Does that mean, that you’re expectations are for naught?  Where does THAT leave you?

Because someone gave it a five-star rating, you’d let that guide you, direct you, affect you, and so, you are still, very much, influenced, by outside “forces”, instead of listening to just Y-O-U!!!  And, nobody likes someone who gets led by their noses everywhere, do we???  Nope!

Because someone gave it a five-star rating, you got it into your heads, that it must be wonderful, tasty, and all of that, but, when you’d actually gone to that place or tried that food or whatever, you felt disappointed, and you know W-H-Y that is?  Because you held an EXPECTATION, and, by now you should know, that expectations can only lead to disappointments in the end…

Found Guilty for Raping an Adolescent Female, a Man in Charge of a Cult Got Eighteen Years, a Heavy Sentence

Finally a V-E-R-D-I-C-T, from that case that happened, oh, say???  Over SIX months ago???  From the Newspapers, translated…

The holder of the cult, “the Door to Taoism, a Life Course”, Ou-Yang, was accused of raping a female follower’s thirteen year old daughter seventeen times, and the female follower had even demonstrated for her daughter, how to fellate him.  The High Courts in Taiwan believed that Ou-Yang and the youth’s mother showed NO remorse, and gave them eighteen and twelve years respectively, and they can still go for an appeal.

The high courts pointed out, that in the evidence that the young adolescent female kept, she’d hollered out helplessly, along with the man, enjoying himself in raping her, would make anybody feel bad for the girl.

The verdict stated, that the woman thirteen years ago, entered into the cult that was set up by Ou-Yang and his wife at Hsinbei city, “The Entryway to Tao, the Life Course”.  In July of 2011, Shien Ou-Yang took the woman and her daughter to a motel, the woman told her daughter, that she must go through the “redirection of energy” to up her likability and become more able in her talents, she’d enticed her own offspring to fellate Ou-Yang, and showed her how it was done herself.

The young girl at first didn’t want to, and her mother warned her, “If you don’t, then, you will have NO allowances”, and, in the pressures, the young girl complied, and Ou-Yang was able to get his way with her.  In May of 2012, the adolescent girl came home, and bumped into Ou-Yang again, the mother used the excuse of “redirecting the energy”, to ask her child to fellate him, and later, the adolescent was told by her mother, to get on the bed, to allow Ou-Yang to rape her.

The adolescent is growing older, and other than writing about the events in her own journals, she’d also gone online to pour her heart out, and, someone she met online taught her to use her cell to record the process and use it as evidence to sue, and that, was when the case blew open.

In the hearings, Ou-Yang refused to plead guilty, claimed that the adolescent’s journal was a “romance novel”, that it was all made-up; the mother only admitted to having her daughter touch Ou-Yang’s pubic area twice.  The first trial, the judge believed, that the adolescent’s claims in her diary about being raped by her mother and a “grandfather-aged” teacher, could NOT be a projection of her romantic feelings, and the judge gave Ou-Yang fourteen years, and the adolescent’s mother eleven.

After the appeals, Ou-Yang had admitted to wrongdoing, but had gone back on his statements, said that he’d only had the youth suck his fingers; and the mother also kept speaking on behalf of the man, the high courts believed that Ou-Yang didn’t manage to exert the positive energies of the religion, and the woman also didn’t protect her own offspring, and that they both showed NO remorse, and so, they were both given even heavier sentences.

And so, finally the LAW had spoken, and, justice seemingly WAS served, but, is it?  I mean, really?  How is this young woman going to EVER recover from the fact, that she was molested, raped, and FORCED to fellate someone who’s old enough to be her grandmother, and, how is she to overcome the betrayals from how her mother was supposed to protect her, but instead, joined in raping her?

A Math Genius Painstakingly Asked about the Meaning of Life

This, IS the problem with the current education systems, here, in Taiwan, from the Front Page Sections, translated…

Professor Liu yesterday sent in a review on how well we did as a country in the Science-Lympics; for instance, the training camps were led by the professors, and the goal was in winning the competitions NOT in instill that sense of wonder in the children who were competing, and thinking abilities, the abilities to think critically and creatively thus became awkward.

I have a long-term experience in counseling, and I’d learned that the knacks for science, especially in the mathematics are shown earlier in life, but we’d often neglected to look at this genius as a human being too, that s/he may have a wide variety of interests, causing the schools, the parents, to force them to show OFF their abilities too young, and instead, this had made this professional not be able to choose what one is interested in, seemingly, this, is a sound and good arrangement for them, but in reality, it does more harm than good.

I’d met kids who have amazing math skills, because the instructors and the parents already mapped out his interests in the future, and so, you can imagine this student’s pains when asked about his own free will, along with the meanings of his life according to the expectations of others.  Back then, I’d felt, that “geniuses” from areas such as politics or scholastics, their talents are NOT so concrete, and that the parents, along with the school teachers couldn’t notice their talents that easily, and, shouldn’t they be allowed to explore through other means like extracurricular activities or other methods?  The scholastics would be easier to judge, by the amount of published papers, and the Department of Education would give out funding based off of this, this, seemingly like management of numbers, but instead, it’s so shallow.  And now, the problems are starting to show up, and, from the problems that stemmed from this, you should already know the origins of these problems now, huh?

A TON of the all-star high schools has specialized science classes to help make the kids more well trained, sure, but, is the mindset in training these children right?  A TON of people who stood out in the field of the sciences, maybe, they’d set up the goals to become doctors, but, they may NOT necessarily enjoy the science subjects, but the schools or the classmates stereotyped them into being responsible for winning the annual scholastic science competitions, and so, these kids often rebelled.

Could there be other classes that cultivate those scientific minds as well?  There IS a huge gap between the ideal and what’s real, isn’t there?  The Eastern Cultures lacked the thoughts of training the children to think on their own, and in the western cultures, they’d hoped to help the kids find the areas of their interests by getting them involved in competitions, that, would be the true value behind the competitions, but because we’re still operating based off of the scientific manners, and we’d treated the side dishes as if they were the main course, and, the taste became off.  What we need to look at is a problem with the culture, and the competition results should NOT be taken so seriously, and, the trainings should be back to the basics of education, otherwise, we should toss out the whole ideal.

And so, that, is the eastern cultures, compared to the western one, in the east, they cared too much about how well the kids are performing, instead of WHAT they’re actually learning, and how they can apply what they’d learned into their daily living, and that, is a reform in education that is still needed, here, in the R.O.C.
