MERGED: Manila Standard's Malu Fernandez unpleasant article of OFW's

[amico]

^^ they are in the posts for a reason.

1. to show people what a malu-ish attitude is.

2. to show them that it is not funny to be malu-ish.

3. to show them that "malu-ish" people with malu-ish attitude is unworthy of respect.

4. to show them that a malu-ish attitude is disgusting and unpleasant.

We don't have to be "Malu-ish" just to hit back. That's stooping down to her level

[amico]

^^ sometimes we must stoop down to their level to teach them the valuable lesson. di man gud nila maabot ato level mao kita nalang ang munaog para nila. mao na ang gitawag sa mga katoliko na "work of mercy". give them a dose of their attitude because that is the only way to teach them a lesson. di man gud na sila kakat-on kung di ka munaog sa ilang level kay gamay man silag utok, nihiyos tungod sa kadaghan sa chemical na gipahidpahid sa lawas.

hmmm...fighting fire with fire...

then what makes us different from malu if we stoop down to her level and do the same thing she did?

I agree! you get my point.

We actually don't have to because fighting fire with fire will actually just make it more intense and worse.

@TAMBOK

i don't quite get you. you want people to be "un-Maluish" but you have to put them down in the process? what's with the "crying like a baby" stuff all about? some style of encouragement?

See, this is the reason why we react violently to opinions; we don't comprehend what we're reading. Have you read what i posted? crying like a baby in my previous reply means its the thing we should avoid, what it meant in my post was clear and i never meant for it to put down anyone.

are you appealing for unemotional reactions towards the Malu controversy? you are one of the VERY few who try to achieve that. what I know is that people all over FEEL strongly about bigotry and irresponsibility. and while you may be trying to be rational about and unaffected by it, it's quite obvious to me now that you are NORMAL like us, for some of our posts here have actually started to get on your nerves, haven't they?

No, i'm being logical. And the posts you think that got to my nervers are too childish and untrue for me to get pissed off. Being logical is different from being mad. I'm not mad, these are just opinions... friends ta diri sa istorya but I must advice you to avoid assumptions--for an assumption is an excuse to ignorance.

you preach respect and at the same time talk about some poster's wrong grammar and the "hurtful truth" about indays in Manila. Tsk. Seems like passive aggression to me.

Hey i'm not preaching, it was merely a suggestion heheh and I didn't mull over amico's grammatical errors, it just part of an example, that though i felt like i had brain surgery reading because of the grammar inadequacy i still respect what he/she said.

my conclusion is that you are just as riled up as most people are...only you are on the opposite side i'm sure.

Okay, that's your hypothesis I respect that. heheh but i'm really fine, i'm not mad. I won't be mad for something so juvenile and we're on the internet it would be so stupid getting worked-up over something or someone you never had contact with. Those are just opinions come on!

but then again i must say... an assumption is an excuse to ignorance.

the difference is...

1. we are doing it for a good reason. to teach them how it feels to be subjected to the same attitude. remember she thinks she was being funny. she only realized how bad she behaved when she felt the pain of being given her dose of her own malu-ish attitude.

2. we are not malu-ish, we are just trying to act malu-ish to show the malu-ish how disgusting it is to be malu-ish. and also we are just being funny or should i say "trying" to be funny and it was humorous and quite tongue-in-cheek, or at least we thought so. until the forum got a few posts from people who didn’t get the meaning of our acerbic wit. If any of these people actually read anything thicker then a magazine they would find it very funny.

ipako sa crus si malu!!!!!!

[mata_hari]

i've sensed that some of the posters are being malu-ish na! watch out watch out!

hehehe

yeah, i would surely agree that we should respect someone's opinion, specially here.

but Malou's article, is not an opinion, it's more of like her imprinted judgment on the OFW's otherwise considered as our modern-day Filipino Heroes. a judgment is different from an opinion.

so, here you go Malou, you would never gain an inch of respect from me.

well, my sentiment always goes to those people whom i have found nationalistic bahala na sayop ang grammar,

being good at english, grammar or whateva is not something one should consider highly of.
