Hello! Sorry for the long time intervals between my posts. Special thanks to De Maitre and Zee Anti Twit for your encouragement.
One special thing to note that is despite the proud proclamation on AALteam's blog that they are not afraid of "tsunamis" and "fire", one of their authors hurriedly ran away from me when I said "Hello" to her today. I was raising my hand in warmth when she hastily turned her gaze away and brought she and her presumably not-ah-lian friends to the other side of the MRT in which we were.
According to AALteam.blogspot.com, ahlians everywhere are upping their budgets and buying new camera models; namely DSLRs. DSLRs, in my opinion, are very good cameras. They offer interchangeable shooting modes, hot-swappable memory card/stick support, smudge-prood LCD screens, macro shooting modes of up to 0.5cm, a self cleaning camera chassis, and the ability to lighten your wallet significantly, among other things.
AALteam then goes on to state, in BOLD AND BIG AND PINK letters (to show that they are creative, and dare to speak their thoughts), that "THE AHLIANS HAVE GONE HIGH CLASS". They also do some weird things like actually gasping on their blogs (funny, how some people think that their readers want to know every single mundate detail of their lives). After this, they show us the extent of their command over the English language by uttering an invented profanity: "BLOODYFAG". Such a word undoubtedly took the inferior minds of AALteam ages to conceive of; and I applaud such determination. The fact that their perseverance was wasted in that they invented something so inexcusably stupid, is also worthy of note. Oh, AALteam also says that the rampant purchases of DSLRs by ahlians is a "pandemic". That's funny, the last time I checked, a pandemic referred to something like an uncontrollable spread of disease. Perhaps AALteam has decided that the purchase of DSLRs by ahlians in Singapore will not bring them (and the sellers) joy, and through some magical processes will harm them?
To borrow a phrase from the very intelligent people from AALteam who have borrowed it from a popular movie (anyone seen "300"?)THIS (that) IS MADNESS! One is lead to the assumption that in the Battle of Thermopylae, the Spartans lost due to the multiple camera flashes of Persian ahlians. Such an impressive writing style deserves to be given worldwide credit.
I would like to ask AALteam why, in their valued opinions, is the purchase of DSLRs by ahlians bad? I would like them to give me and you a definition of "ahlian". Since they are able to state so blatantly that they hate ahlians, they must therefore be able to tell to their readers what an ahlian is.
Why, in their opinions, is the purchase of a DSLR by an ahlian wrong? In my opinion, AALteam does not have the right to degrade a whole group of people just because of their choice of electronic appliance. Not only is this demeaning to an "ahlian", it is also harmful to the economy.
Why does the AALteam use bad English, and then insult ahlians for using bad English too? They may say that their English is better than that of the ahlians, but it is my opinion that English is only bad or good, and there is no such thing as half-bad or half-good English.
If the AALteam can produce a reasonable, logical, and sound explanation to my questions, I will post a formal apology on this blog and close it down within two weeks of the posting of the apology.
If they cannot, I sincerely hope that they will find the gall to engage me in an argument over the wide expanse of the Internet. I mean, they are a TEAM, and I'm just one person. Surely the combined mental capabilities of the AALteam will be able to engage me in a logical argument? Or are they only able to write meaningless, baseless, unreasonable, and unintelligent posts?
To end off, I think that the writings of AALteam reek of the lack of logic that is apparent in all stupid people. With their mediocre command of the English language they presume that they have the right to degrade an entire group of people. They think that they are exceptional; they are exceptionally stupid.
So hey AALteam, please respond.
Hahaha, I don't support ALs but I think there is a line to draw somewhere. Insulting a collective group of people who share common deviant behavioral traits is fine to me. BUT I certainly don't approve of the way the AAL team expresses their dislike for ALs.
ReplyDeleteFor one I do not condone personal attacks. That means, I dislike the posting of personal friendster/facebook links, blog links, personal pictures, etc. Revealing a person's name is fine to me, but not the whole name. People deserve a little privacy and I think that should be respected. I have written posts about ALs before, and I only mentioned a few names as examples. I prefer to focus on the general trend of behavior as most ALs grow out of their rebellious phase by the time they hit 20.
I've swtiched my support to AALT2 because I was really disgusted with the way AAL uses vulgarities against ALs. I think the issue has degenerated into a "high-class educated" AL against the "lower-class not-so-educated" ALs. To me, plastering vulgariteis all over your blog just cheapens your image and credibility. SO you might want to rethink about using vulgarities as well... =)
What makes an AL a AL goes beyond stupidity, rebonded hair and cheap clothes. It's the attitude as well. So if AAL is content going about bitching ALs on a personal level, they are just cyber ALs, period. As for the phrase-not afraid of "tsunamis" and "fire", well, it sounds like an average defensive AL going "come larh, you think I scared ah". =P
By the way, AAL did use the word "Pandemic" correctly because they are using the rapid consumption of "DSLR related cam-whoring" as the context of an "infection disease" that is spreading across the AL population.
I agree that there is either good English or bad English. Unfortunately, there are many versions of English, so it's hard to say what is good English beyond good spelling, grammar and tenses. I would say that AAL team employs "standard" English which is way better than what I've read in the blogs of most ALs (I noticed that those below 15 years old still tend to use twit). Anyway, if you do start up an AAL blog, I think it would be natural to uses simple "standard" English to ensure that ALs can understand you.
Cheerios,
De Maitre
