Nak Blog pun susah! (Direct translation: Blogging also troublesome!)
So here's the deal:
I read in yesterday's paper that Malaysia (meaning "some" people) are thinking of having the Government "regulate and give guidelines" to bloggers about what they "can" or "cannot" blog about and as to "how" they go about blogging it.
WTF?!
That's just gonna turn the whole blogasphere into another boring one-streamed opinion bunch of writers!
I think that's just crap.
Okay, so maybe bloggers write certain things about current issues (sensitive or not) and the media/mass population that stumble onto their blogs read it - and perhaps agree with their opinion and make it a "credible" source of information - it's not the blogger's fault!
Being a blogger (and loving it!) myself, this just struck me as being absurb. Why?
1. When someone reads MY blog, I didn't MAKE them believe me...I just state my opinion and the readers form their own. (That's why the "comments" function at the bottom of each post exists!)
2. I never claimed (and am not claiming) that all that's written here is credible (i.e as something you would die for believing, or something you can put under "references" in your reports!)...I write what I feel, MY opinions and MY view of things.
3. The media/mass population should know better to differentiate between CREDIBLE INFORMATION and PERSONAL OPINION.
That's MY PERSONAL OPINION.
Now,
Do you want fries with that?

they just being some stuck up jack asses that when you tell them it's not right they just won't listen .. they're pretty much fucked up by the way .. but they won't going to fuckin admit that they're wrong
subtle way of oppression. I guess in 'their' eyes, a sensible good blogger is someone who blog something that please them, one dimensional view..and most importantly, suits their reading. idiots will be idiots, wonder hwy we are heading this direction??
