In the recent, or not so recent, cases of seditious bloggers, some judge said something like, "Freedom of speech must be balanced with freedom from offence.". Then later on in Singabloodypore, one of the authors had linked to an article talking about the need for the right to offence. Me no seditious, me Bongo! Bongo the barbarian, not seditious. You Pogo, no say me seditious.

On a totally unrelated note, i heard my auntie say recently, that she listen to a radio show recently. The radio programme talked about Taiwanese drivers. You no Taiwanese say me seditious, me Bongo, he radio deejay. Anyway, the deejay said that when one Taiwanese driver pointed a middle finger at another driver, the other driver will point back his/her own middle finger. And both drivers start pointing their fingers here and there like some sort of a disco thingy. Makes me wonder how they drive.
Me Bongo, bad Bongo, add stuff here and there. Basically they just pointed their fingers, that's all.
Then the deejay went on to talk about Nogum drivers. He (deejays are not male?) said that when one driver points the golden finger, the drivers will start getting out of their cars to get some action (fist fight, not nookie).
Which makes me think, whether Nogum citizens are so innoculated against offence that they do not know how to handle it when they encounter it.
Um.. i do not consider agrression as knowing how to handle it.
