I've recently come to know about STOMP, a section in the Strait Times. It reports news that wouldn't usually make your headlines, and the articles are very interesting. But what I notice while reading the articles and their comments, was that most people seem to have some skewed view as to what is right and wrong.
An article reported a couple getting intimate on a SBS bus, and comments were defending the couple asking the person who reported the story to mind his own business. Another article reported a salesman trying to "steal" his customers money by "forcing" them to buy more of his goods, and most comments said that such a person should be jailed. Another of a cabby who walked in and out of his cab in his underwear at ECP, and the comments said he should be reported to the police. Finally, the sale of casino toys in a toys store, and people say that its normal, and we should learn to accept it, otherwise we shouldn't watch TV because there's too much violence.
I don't know whether its just me, but I find that there are some confused people out there. But I guess that's where the world is headed, and how the devil slowly lowers our moral values till anything and everything is alright.
