Whats with Miriam ?

She wants all the newbies to have the same track record she had ?

Like how she placed herself during her bar exams ?

She is nothing different from Kristata lols ... TACTLESS !

By the way ..... she should have spearheaded the annihilation of those DIPLOMA MILLS all over Metro Manila before she talks about ACADEME .

[amingb]

Ang isa ka candidato wala may Qualfications kinahanglan nga College Grad ... Unsa man jud Criteria nga basis para pag Elect ug isa ka candidato ?

Ang sa akoa kay simple ra ... base on Track Record, Intelligent and Very Knowledgeable, dili kanang showbiz ang dating ning tunga lang ug kalit nagpahimolos sa sikat nga pangalan sa kaliwat bisan walay alamag .....

@ AMINGB ....

If that is the case ..... she should have addressed it to the entire UPPER HOUSE and di lang sa NEWBIES .

Tanan baya politiko naay TRACK RECORD . Naay bright and not so bright and lastly , daghan nakamahuan pod . Otherwise , a bill should be passed that if you are not a lawyer , you are not allowed to become a SENATOR if that is the point of how LAW MAKERS should be .

With all these ACADEMIC BROUHAHA lage .... if you dont have VALUES within yourself , mas maayo pa ug wala na lang . Diha nimo makita kinsa ang EDUCATED ug kinsa ang PROFESSIONAL .

Nakasabot sab ko ni Miriam its more on Frustration nga napun-an napud ug not so walang alam ang Senado ...

Lisod man pud pangitaon ning tawo nga maaung laki nga walay grado talagsa ra kaau na unya kana nga kalidad sa tawo wala na diha karon sa Senado ....

Dapat sa Senado maaung laki jud ka .... mao rajud na akong criteria kay wala may bawal mo dagan pagka senador, kada isa nato naay preference mura ug ingon ana ang dating, pabor ang Showbiz Type Personality ani .... kasagaran anang mga track record sa mga Politico kay himo ra ug karsada, tabang2x kunohay sa mga Poor dala atik2x.

Nindot na imoha sir .. Electoral Reform dili kadagan sa Senate unless, daghan basis ... 1. Service in the Government for how many years 2. 1 Term Congressman with Law Passed ... 3. At Least naay Units in Political Science 4. Non Showbiz Personalities .... kamo na puno sa uban ...

The educated act like civilized people, they don't wave their arms around like a mental patient and scream at witnesses like a hyena with rabies. Their faces don't distort like they suffer from paraplegia and they don't shake from head to toe when angry like they have epilepsy.

On a serious note, the problem of lousy candidates winning elections can be solved by solving the problem of lousy voters being allowed to vote. At least require people to be high school graduates and to have paid taxes at some point during the last 5 years before letting them vote. The right to vote should have as a prerequisite the responsibilities of citizenship. No votes for freeloaders.

OK, whatever... like I said to you your opinion, to me mine. By the way, never said voters are dumb. I said they can be very dumb, which isn't the same.

I never made any assumptions on why voters vote for her, that's why I said voters vote for many reasons. You don't speak for the 12 million voters, and neither do I. What I can say though is that voters can be dumb, that's why convicted plunderer can get elected in this country. In that sense, it doesn't really matter why they vote for these people, what matters is that they did and now must suffer the consequences of their decisions. And again my point is, getting elected to office neither proves nor disproves competence or sanity. What about this do you find disagreeable?

Also you're making a big deal about the 12 million voters. What about the millions who did not vote for her? Are you sure I'm the only one who thinks she's crazy?

So you defend your factual assertion with assumption,
now that is dumb,
present factual accounts that she is really crazy,to make
your statement credible, furnish something from a credible psychiatrist
who did examined her and that would settle things.

Is innocence akin to being dumb?
is being denied by the actual truth being dumb?
I think not, they can think, but they are just being manipulated to think
the other way, in favor of those what you called plunderer.

So what we should do?
criticize and censure them, would that help?
I think not, what we should do is inform them the truth, the accounts
that they should know so that they will not be exploited by these what you call plunderers.

[kageron]

One problem sa pinas is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

Did you read what I said. No offense, but you are putting words into my mouth. As I said before, I didn't say voters are dumb, I said they CAN be dumb. Big fukin difference. Who's making the assumptions here? Because 12 million people voted for her, you assumed she can't be insane. You just don't want to accept my opinion that's why you keep blabbing on and on about this nonsense. Why do I have to justify to you why I think she's crazy? It's my opinion damnit, why can't you respect that? Did I call you stupid for voting for her? No! Great.. so why are you insulting my opinion about this crazy senator?

Please don't take it personally,
it's just a forum, that's all, baylo2x lang gud ta ug huna2x dire,
you have your point I have mine, then that's it, no need to trash talk whatsoever.

[monroy]

I'm not trash talking man.. I just don't understand why you won't accept my opinion. You don't have to agree with me because I'm not forcing you to change your mind if you think she's a fit and proper person to be a senator if you're inclined to think so. Aren't we each allowed to judge public officials according to how they act in public? To each, his own I guess..
