Came across an interesting quote, which I decided to look up."All that is necessary for the forces of evil to take root in the world is for enough good men to do nothing." - a quote attributed to Edmund BurkeWho is Edmund Burke?
Edmund_Burke2_c.jpg
Name Edmund Burke Birth 1729 January 12 (Dublin, Ireland) Death July 9, 1797 (aged 68) (Beaconsfield, England)He is mainly remembered for his support of the American colonies in the dispute with King George III and Great Britain that led to the American Revolution.So, in other words, if not for this guy, USA might not exist today.
 
Huh? Why enough good man but not doing anything to stop the evil forces to take root in the world? Then they should not be called good man, or there's not enough of them.. :rolleyes:

Make no sense to my simple mind.. :stupid:

it means that all that needs for evil things to happen is manyak mamat & minah yg baik baik belaka macam malaikat yang tak buat apa apa

that not philosophy lah you no learn chinese literature is it don't act smart.
 
That's one of the reasons why Hitler managed to run riot all over Europe. People did nothing.

wah bro, dun need to get emo. if Lee wanna post something let him post la. u disagree jus disagree don't need to marah marah. its not your forum, ots not your thread, none of us owe u money. so pls keep this constructive not plain bashing. i think Lee just took the info from somewhere, either WWW or his textbook or from the top of his head, so he is not trying to act smart. i nvr learn chinese literature also, i bet that fella on top also nvr learn, is he acting smart? wtf is wrong with u

What is the difference between talking about something and doing nothing about it?

SIR! u talking to me? I am just saying...

If you really goyang kaki, shame on u, but if not just ignore this fella.. :stupid:

Obviously, I am asking u to ignore the thread lor. U did not goyang kaki wat..

In moderating a forum, its a big mistake for committee member to get involve in a heated discussion, more so if replying with challenging remarks. The more you talk, the more u expose urself.. I am just pouring water to extinguish the fire, ITS NOT PETROL! :D

Spend more time to bring more benefits to the club, let or get the moderator to moderate the forum... its their duty... I'm just helping on their absence...

Sit back and Relax...

It warms the cockles of my heart to see some good thinking brains here. Whether member or forummer, whether we agree or disagree, it is important thing that any issue is discussed and debated.

Asian society as a whole is conditioned not to challenge the prevailing authority figure. This has led to rapid progress, as in the case of the massive mobilization and industrialization of Japan after its defeat in the second world war.
It has also given us the Cultural Revolution, in which millions have died. It has yielded modern Korea, with emerging world-class brands the like of Samsung and LG (although this example is slightly off, since Koreans do stage protests, albeit very orderly.) It also allows the imprisonment of legally elected figures in a neighboring country.

China and Europe took two divergent paths in history. The various warring states of China were united by force. At one stage, it led the world in technology and progress. Subsequently, proud of what it has achieved, it declared it had nothing to learn from the world outside and closed its doors.

Europe meanwhile, remained a collection of disparate states, often fighting wars with one another, but never totally united. The constant struggle led to constant evolution of ideas and technology. Eventually, Europe overtook China. Ironically, many of the technologies of Europe were adapted from Chinese inventions, but were further developed.

Interesting what we can learn from history. Progress stops when we stop asking questions.

Keep up the debate.

Peace. :rock:
