Observations # 20

The appointment of Anwar Ibrahim as Prime Minister by royal decree speaks volumes about the impartiality of the King and the Malay Rulers whose unanimous decision to appoint the Leader of the Opposition as the nation's next Prime Minister shows them to be above the pettiness of the scandal-loving-dirt-digging-mud-slinging-name-smearing-fault-finding-finger-pointing-hand-in-the-cookie-jar-catching nature of Malaysian politics, noble qualities distinguishing the royal families from us commoners.

i) Sterilization Of Parents + Culling Of Offspring = Extinction Of Stray Cat/Dog Control Group Species Following Death Of Parents.

ii) Sterilization Of Both Parents & Offspring = Extinction Of Stray Cat/Dog Control Group Species Following Death Of Both Parents & Offspring.

Conclusion: Extinction of the species/lineage concerned follows if applied to:

(i) Domestic Pets;

My Achilles Heel

 


You I cannot lose,
I lose you I will die,
Died of a broken heart,
My tombstone will reveal.

You almost died today,
Or so it seemed to me,
Whilst struggling to dislodge
A bone stuck in your mouth.

Which is how I know,
You I cannot lose,
I lose you I will die,
Died of a broken heart,
My tombstone will reveal.

Observations # 18: The Hijab Issue Demystified

Ordinarily, in gender non-segregated societies, men who are sexually aroused by physically or sexually attractive women have countless ways to release built-up levels of sexual desire by means of sexual relations with their girlfriends, wives, mistresses, colleagues or even from one night stands involving just about anyone. If that wasn't enough, casual sex was available on a strictly professional basis.

However, it was an entirely different story in patriarchal male-dominated gender segregated societies.

Let's take a look at India, a patriarchal male-dominated gender segregated society. From an early age, males and females are kept apart in public except amongst close relatives. As a result, rape, and in some cases, violent rape, is common, as men have no legal way to release built-up levels of sexual desire as men in non-segregated societies do except with their own wives.

For unmarried men, the only other alternative is to be found in a brothel, which in some parts of India, and possibly linked to its caste system, is someone's house, someone who conveniently disappears so that his wife and daughters may entertain customers in peace.

Now, let's take a look at patriarchal male-dominated gender segregated Islamic societies such as Afghanistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia, to name a few, where wearing the hijab is mandatory for women in public. 

Without the hijab, a woman is generally considered to be physically or sexually attractive from head to toe, which in turn sexually arouses a man whose only recourse for sexual release is in the arms of his wife, should that be the case.

However, as unmarried men have no such legal or legitimate means of sexual release except via illegal or illegitimate means which shall not be discussed here, making it mandatory for women to cover themselves 
up from head to toe in public solves the problem of unintended sexual arousal on the part of women, thus enabling men with the ability to control or behave themselves in such patriarchal male-dominated gender segregated societies.

Observations # 17

While cats, once toilet-trained, know how to use the toilet, what they don't know, like some of us, is how to flush it afterwards.

In general, as far as cats are concerned, unless rigorously trained, like circus cats, the whole world was a toilet unless otherwise instructed one way or the other, a behavior commonly observed in human society where for a certain segment of the population, the whole world was (i) a public spitoon or (ii) a public rubbish bin, except in public-behavior-strictly-policed places like Singapore, and in places like India, (iii) a public urinal as well.

Why Birthdays Shouldn't Be Celebrated After The 30-Year-Old Mark

[sung] "Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you,
One year closer to dementia,
Happy birthday to you."

Overheard At The Department Of Population Control

 "So, how goes the start of the culling season for the Gregorian year 2022?"

"Well, according to reports from the ground, Vladimir Putin appears to be off to a good start. Thanks to him, about fifty-five thousand, civilians as well as soldiers, have been culled so far, not as many as other great warlords, dictators or conquerors may have racked up during their respective lifetimes, but, despite some setbacks and given time, he is expected to reach the 100,000 mark by June this year, with luck on his side, of course."

"What's the latest from the Infectious Diseases Sub-Division?"

"Less than six and a half million culled so far, according to reports from the ground, accredited to the Covid Nineteen virus, its variants and sub-variants. Not as impressive as in the case of some of the other culling agents, the Black Death of the fourteenth century for example, but expected to reach the ten million mark before it runs out of steam."

"Reports from the ground point to a potential kangaroo overpopulation problem in the Australian outback, but Australian wildlife department officials are confident of containing the rapidly increasing numbers by year's end."

"Sustainability Report?"

"According to our studies, the planet has been projected to be able to sustain life at current levels of depleted natural resources comfortably for the next fifty or so years, after which the implications are expected to be catastrophic. Planet sustainability figures are two billion in excess at current rates of resource depletion." 

"There has been talk in the locker room about the benefits of a nuclear war, such as the one Vladimir Putin has a habit of threatening to unleash every now and then."

"Doomsday has been prophesied as an End Of Days event, not something as occurring this early. The planet has a lifespan of twelve cycles, each cycle lasting 200 million years, of which nine-and-a-half cycles have already been spent. Accordingly, two-and-a-half cycles, or a total of 500 million earth years, remain. Any nuclear war unleashed by Vladimir Putin will definitely not result in the annihilation of the entire planet or its contents. but it will definitely help bring down overpopulation figures to more planet sustainability levels, that is for sure. but don't quote me on that."

"As for your reports, they have been well noted. Good job, everyone. Carry on."
