was reading the sunday papers the other day, when i noticed one of the replies in the forum. the reply was in response to a pregnant woman, who complained that NUS students did not offer her a seat, even though she was carrying her toddler child, & a big bag. e reply, from an NUS undergrad came along these lines (i don rmb them, so even if u do, don raise this as an excuse to shoot me!): Pregnant women cannot come to expect people to always give way to them, to always offer them a seat. We might have studied really late into the night, be it to rush out a project, or for the exams. Hence, it is unreasonable to expect us UNDERGRADS to give up our seats to pregnant women; we are tired!
what rubbish! oh, so u undergrads work so damn hard la. so easily tired. why?! u think what? the pregnant woman had it easy during the night? HUH? u tink what? she can sleep easy with leg cramps? with her baby kicking her throughout the night? that she won't feel tired carrying all the extra weight that comes with the baby? what makes u tink that she didn't stay up the whole night to look after her children? or to rush out a report for work? why? u tink wad? only u undergrads have it difficult huh? TIRED?! ptui! what sort of excuse is that? come on la. if u are a guy, u go through NS before, so be a man & don't use tired as excuse. if u're a gal, give up your seat; u never know when YOU might be the pregnant woman.
frankly, i think the response from the undergrad was totally stupid. if he/she thinks that just because he's in a tertiary instituition, he's that great, well, all i can say is that the govt is wasting taxpayers money putting that moron through the U. 15 yrs of education, & this is what we get; an IMBECILE! a total waste of time & money. come on man. there's more to life than brains. you can't just have IQ, you gotta have EQ as well! helping a fellow man in need; is it that difficult? or has society become so senitised that its alright to be uncaring, to be heartless, to put one's interests ahead of everything else?

Personally i feel that what benny had said above was so so right. I couldnt help but t applaud for him. So what if you're in UNIVERSITY? Huge deal? OH COME ON. If you think by going uni you're like the cream of the crop and you dont need t care for others, seriously, I MEAN SERIOUSLY, GO ROT IN HELL PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
I swear society now concentrates too much on academic pursuits and has forgetten totally about something much more valuable, the formation of self.
