Moral subsidies

So, I had errands to run and decided that taking the LRT would be more economical, so me and my wife park over at KL Sentral and decide to hop on a train. What happens? Well, first I have to shout at people to let the passengers off the train before they get on. Then, the next stop, a bunch of people actually miss the stop because they couldn't get off due to people pushing to get inside. Gah! So upon disembarking, I holler to everyone outside to let us out first, before they push in. Which kinda works.

Completing the errand, we go back to the train station and wait for the next train. Guess what? As soon as it arrives, this dude actually rams into me, pushing me aside while his girlfriend giggles. I yell at them, but they act like they don't hear me, at which point my wife drags me over to the next door where there are less retards and more space. Gah!

So, fuel prices go up and the nation screams in outrage and people start rambling about better public transport and rarararara, at which point the government hands out fuel subsidies. Wonderful. But you know what, it's not really public transport that needs a boost, but, read my lips here people, YOUR GODDAMN COURTESY, or let me put it a bit more clearly, YOUR GODDAMN ABSOLUTE LACK OF ANYTHING RESEMBLING COMMON COURTESY BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS WERE TOO BUSY SCREAMING ABOUT SUBSIDIES TO TEACH YOU BUGGERS SOME MANNERS, at which point I'd like to point out that it's actually impossible for the government to hand out moral/courtesy subsidies to curb this problem being that it requires having something abstract in stock, and suddenly I have a funny image of a bunch of people lining up at the post office to receive their government sanctioned manners subsidy and now I've calmed down.

Seriously people, we're not progressing. All the technology in the world could be at our fingertips, all the luxuries and eveything you could ever want to make your life easier, and we wouldn't progress simply because we haven't eliminated the asshole gene that resides in most of the world today, and the best thing is, this gene that contains the behaviour of assholity isn't even handed down from parent to child, it's actually absorbed experientally from the atmosphere. Hear that kids? Breathing can actually make you an asshole.

*sigh*

Forgive my swearing, but seriously, at this point, do most people even know why you recited the national tenets during assembly at school? Do most people even remember them once they've left school? Gah!

Malaysians, heck, Earthlings, I beseech you, buck up, coz we can't hand out moral subsidies.
