Bali bombers say ready for firing squad
It's hard to turn the other cheek when you read such stories on the news. You could only shake your head and wonder if this is a preview to life in the future - one lacking in tolerance and ruled by vigilante justice.
Thanks to people like them, the anti-religious groups have even more reason to think that religion is the reason for all the suffering in the world and faith in God is a fallacy.
My Muslim friends had always commented on initiating bombings and killing, "They are not fighting the way the religion allows it - the holy book mentioned about sparing the children and women from war, but what these people do would kill them anyway. Cowards - go and attack the US or Israeli Forces, not the people around you who don't know better".
Not one for capital punishment, I don't think execution is the best punishment for this crime against the innocent. It only takes a few seconds to die and it will mean nothing to one actively seeking it.
Yet, one with no remorse may waste all the time of the ones who must care for him and become an inspiration to those who are seeking to emulate him. This is not such a good thing either.
You may be going to heaven, fellas, but you're still a murderer.

Wannabe MKIII
It's hard to put in an effort for a blog when you don't have things to talk about regularly. I suppose it's up to the kind of things that interests you, ranging from the thought provoking such as commentary of daily events to the absurd ie. the plate of rice you had yesterday.
To be honest I don't know what I'm aiming at - I've always been fascinated by column inches presenting well thought out life's musings whilst sounding funny. The only difference is that my life is rarely that exciting thanks to my nature of shunning the loud for peace & quiet.
So what do I want to achieve from this restart of this blog?
Some people keep blogs as a personal journal, others as their means of seeking attention whilst the rest just have too much time in their hands.
Maybe I'm one of everything.
