I think I know sometimes when I write is funny. Even I laugh reading my own posts, I can get unbelievably angry :) Anyway, a newer issue I would like to point out is the stateless position of illegitimate children in Brunei. What I don't understand is why these children are 'illegitimate'? and labelled as 'illegitimate'? And not only that why are these children labelled stateless? Why are we sacrificing children's rights over the mistakes of the parents, and since when are children, 'mistakes'? How is it that in modern Brunei the existence of children are labelled as mistakes instead of a blessing? This is so apparent within our society when a Bruneian sees images of naked children who are starving in some part of Africa because agriculture has stopped due to wars or periods of drought that they quickly say it is the women's fault for having so much children. What I would like to explain to these dumb Bruneians is that most of the societies in question are agricultural societies and within agricultural societies extensive labour is required for farming, the birth of children and having children is a resource of well trusted labour. Children are a source of wealth not poverty. Secondly, the earth is under pollution and the Holocene period is at its hottest - I keep mentioning this, the truth is it isn't the fault of these Africans that the world is polluted it is our fault, us the Bruneian people who emit a lot of carbon monoxide to the air because one person needs two cars! And some dumb Bruneian goes on and says eh sapa suruh nda blajar tinggi2 jadi farmer saja. Hey dumb Bruneian, if everyone goes to work in an office who will be the ones to grow food for you, you idiot, you think your peon skills can grow food kah you idiot? Because of our dumb hierarchy system we devalue farmers and their way of life but without these farmers we wouldn't be able to exist and do what we like, the surplus created for us allows us to pursue other things besides a subsistence economy. But I keep explaining do you think people get it? I don't think so.
