Hm … don’t worry, because we were so brilliant, we used our “numb feeling” for that all un-important issues.

We still have a lot of other tradition, so why bother to fight of angklung, batik, or even our indonesian song ..

Malaysian and Singapore needs additional land, … it’s not because we are stupid, it is because we are generous and we still have a lot of island…

The US NAMRU .. ow come on, don’t be so ridiculous, there’s no such bird flu in Indonesia. Our top disease only Dengue Fever every Jan – Feb, since flood always spread his wing in that two months.

Nikah Siri – married is better than being single at 30. At least by nikah siri, Indonesian woman have the title of married woman ..

So .. don’t ever use that Stupidity, it’s negative .. Pls use “brilliant” ..sounds more positive, isn’t it ?

Hi tere616,

Yayyyyy ! that’s way to go – tere616.

Except that these people would not stop at Brilliant, they would add stupidity to it and declare – “BRILLIANT STUPIDITY”.

You know how reactions are.

Thanks for sharing your opinion and I wish you Happy New 2008.

It is due to the stupidity of Indonesia that allows Malaysia and Singapore to move forward.

Maybe stupidity play only a small part in this. The biggest factor is corruption. However, Malaysia is fast catching up in the corruption league. At this rate, Vietnam might overtake Malaysia in the not too distant future. Even Indonesia may surpass Malaysia if it can keep corruption in check.

Nice catches on stupidity. There might be some brilliant plans behind all of these stupidities.

Agreed with Tere.

Be positive folk, there’s always sunshine after the rain (sorry if the quote is not correct)

Nikah Siri – sometimes women are afraid being alone especially at certain age. And don’t forget about the social pressure, woman at certain age should be married and have kid no matter if she’s second wife or a mistress.

“Nice catches on stupidity. There might be some brilliant plans behind all of these stupidities.”—Anymatters

I am not too sure about that as …

“Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.”— Anonymous

“The two most abundant things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.”—Harlan Ellison

“The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. But not in that order.”— Uri Geller

“There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.”-–Frank Zappa

“Everyone is stupid sometimes. Some people raise it to an art form.”— Anonymous

besides …

“We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”— Benjamin Franklin

and …

“Against stupidity; God Himself is helpless.”—-Jewish Proverb

“Stupidity IS what drives the universe.”“”-jawa.apostate

well … in that case, jawa.apostate … Karl Kraus did have a point …

“Stupidity is an elemental force for which no earthquake is a match.”—Karl Kraus

If there is a price I have to pay for being stupid, then I’ll gladly pay it.

… well, they say the price for being stupid is “HIGH” … they say, even the symbolic first man, “adam” which came to be ranked a “prophet” committed this legal activity called stupidity, and got kicked in the butt …

“Against stupidity; God Himself is helpless.”“”-Jewish Proverb
“In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that He did not also limit his stupidity.”—Konrad Adenauer

well … i guess … they did have a point …

… “Very well said” … halah, thank you … I guess, this, did stupidly suggested that some of us were stupid enough to have stupidly chosen to comment stupidly on this issue of stupidity … so, with due respects, we do have to agree to Anymatters on the comment that:

“There might be some brilliant plans behind all of these stupidities.”—Anymatters

and to the very sense that:

“Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.”— Anonymous

“Everyone is stupid sometimes. Some people raise it to an art form.”— Anonymous

“We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”— Benjamin Franklin
