The Day I Learned Ad Hominem

oh, here's another clever attempt.

thank you for teaching me ad hominem and for confirming that i understand the concept. coz i deliberately said those words to invoke ad hominem when you made me realize that you only have prejudices, emotions, or special interests but NOT intellect or reason.

(note to myself: oh bugger, i have to double check that ad hominem definition sometime, Ilda might have spouted those definition straight from wiki and if so, that definition needs to be validated. wiki can be so unrealiable sometimes.)

the "intellectual volley" was fun until i realized that you wont engage in an educated argument and you're just haphazardly throwing your preconceived notions around and claim it is "what matters." wow, i honestly feel you should get over yourself. but hey, i wont burst your bubble anymore after this last one.

good thing though not all Filipinos think the way you do. sabi nga teacher ko sa La Salle "Dont take everything hook, line, and sinker." Sabi naman ng professor ko sa UP "Be critical and look at things in a multi-disciplinary perspective." there's hope for me, coz they still teach these at school!

in parting, cess is a 25 year old well-educated Filipina who despite the adversities and struggles of the present society still believes that the Filipinos can be critical thinkers who not only see one-side of the picture, see not just one-act but has the capacity to understand the entire scenario. and that capacity to understand social phenomenon coupled with compassion is something that she tries to apply when she interacts with people. people from all walks of life be it mayor, sheriff, squatters, or even plain narrow-minded people. she tries to appeal to reason but if reasoning wont work she can freely butt out.

good night all delusional beings reading this. i'm delusional myself for trying to understand you and for trying to uncover depth or dimension to extract substance. there was none. what a surprise.

p.s. i was about to include the link so you can get context of what the blah i'm talking about. but i decided otherwise. but on the otherhand here it is http://getrealphilippines.com/blog/2011/07/law-and-order-philippine-style/comment-page-1/#comment-5703...better you think for yourself and get those bolts and nuts grinding...
