		<description>Nice post. I learn one thing on completely different blogs everyday. It is going to always be stimulating to read content from other writers and observe just a little something from their blog.</description>

		<description>why is the old guards so readily to Play the “Religion Card” to take back Power ? are the old guards power crazy ? wanting to keep the old guards and their crony in power forever ? when have being a christian been a problem in joining an NGO? what are the old guards’ evil intention to play up “Religion Card”?

also the straits time and new paper are spreading hatred against the christians , the two newspapers knowingly break singapore Religion Harmony Acts. Charges should be brought against the editors of straits time and New papers, for purposely spreading religion hatred against Christians.</description>

		<description>43) A Tan on April 27th, 2009 5.51 pm

I can&#039;t speak for Constance but I hope I can speak as a friend of Constance.

Aside from what the law says, my view is that whether anal sex for girls (or guys for that matter) is right, wrong, stupid, clever, painful or pleasurable etc, is up to each individual to decide based on their upbringing, religious beliefs and so forth. If that individual thinks it is wrong, that&#039;s fine. If that individual thinks its right, that&#039;s fine by me too. It&#039;s his/her choice, not mine.

But to have someone else (whom I didn&#039;t even ask and don&#039;t even know) to decide for me what is right or wrong, based on his/her religious beliefs (not mine) or to teach me what is right and wrong when I didn&#039;t ask for such teaching, this surely cannot be right.
 
And may I ask you back, where in the Sunday Times does it say that the old AWARE members  approve of anal sex? I see a quote from the new AWARE members on page 6. Can you or anyone else refer me to the exact page and provision in the CSE (I assume you have read the CSE since you are commenting on its subject matter) that says this? Please. Thanks.</description>

		<description>Er Constance and friends, 

Can you set the record straight on what yr stand on anal sex for gals is? 

Yr supporters tell me that the SunT comment that you gals say it is normal is taken out of context, but cannot provide me with the text.</description>

Thanks for the comments and I am fully agreed with you. My comments at #25 were meant to be tongue-in cheek.

		<description>i think maybe the only way to resolve is that the NEW AWARE make it clear...

that they will not be serving the benefit of women who falls under the gray areas...

prostitutes... lesbians... trans gendered... etc

that&#039;s the only way to be fair to all parties...</description>

alyssarae&#039;s program is actually far more effective than you think. Fundie science has shown that heterosexual hugging releases pheromones into the atmosphere that can cause gays within a radius of six metres to become less gay. And if the huggers were *ahem&quot; experiment with other things all the way up to actual *****, then the effect of the pheromones will increase exponentially and also the effective range. This revolutionary technique that is being employed by some fundies churches is called &quot;Play the Gay Away&quot;.</description>

		<description>26) alyssarae,

I think you are putting forth a dangerous idea with your HUG A MEMBER OF THE OPPOSITE SEX Drive. What if the huggers were to experiment with other things while hugging? Do you want your children to be turned on by hugging? huh? huh? huh?</description>

You can speak to your female relatives, colleagues and friends and let them know the facts. They may be interested to take a position on this like you have.

You can also join AWARE as an associate member although you will not have voting rights, but you can attend the EGM and other meetings and speak out.

Also, you can help to debunk any lie or myth that is posted.

Please check this website out :

Any other ideas from anyone?</description>

		<description>To 25# Gemami.  A debate like this is inevitable in public arena let alone TOC portal.  Sometime, whether we like it or not, we have to give the editor the benefit of doubts because they are in better position, than us, who have been with the old guard before and they know them well.

 As for the new guard, nobody knows who they were and they were not doing a favour to themselves by distancing from public scrutiny, slipped many opportunities given, spewed half cooked lies and many unusual followed up actions which they took upon the old teams.

 If we simply rely on msm to do selective reporting which probably suite your tone, Dr Thio would still be hiding comfortably somewhere.  Thus, I really salute all the new medias for doing a good public services to exert certain pressure, which may not be well liked by certain people, to purge the mastermind out from her comfort zone. This thing alone, our msm cannot achieve because they tend to ease pressure on elite unlike the new online media.  

Do not take it to hard, we are here to debate, discuss on doubtful issues so that we can learn from each other and eventually the truth will come to light.

As such, I hope TOC &amp; editors can continue to maintain such standard of reporting in future amd do not follow the path where our msm adopted which we saw on CNA talking point.</description>

		<description>i am in support of the Old Guards, the graceful ones who make sense when they tallk, and do not lie on national tv or contradict themselves each time they talk...  I am a support of justice.

But I am a guy, and I can&#039;t vote. What can guys do to support the old guards?</description>

		<description>Homosexuality is a sin, that is what christian believe.  I respect this view because this is  their regligious belief. But as a free thinker, I believe gay is inborn and should be treat equal. So society as a whole, which directon should we go? treat gays and lesbians as criminal ? I don&#039;t think this is right!

I support the old guards, their stand that AWARE is a secular society is perfectly right.

Ladies, as a man with loving wife and daugher, I support you, please mobile your women detachment now!</description>

Yeah, if this is not interesting or important to you, please go away and leave the posting to others who think it is important. 

It is also not true that old guard are PAP - they were nominated MPs (Kanwaljit Soin, Braema Mathi). As for the threats, aiyah, please lah...don&#039;t swallow eveything you have been told without thinking. How do you know if the threats were really made? Oh, sorry, I forgot that the people who said that threats were made are famous for being frank, open and truthful, especially on TV, right? Ha Ha.

The reality is that this bunch of wannabes have been so exposed - and as #25 Zefly says, their PR sucked big time.

#21) tears for fears on April 25th, 2009 3.26 pm

Yeah, I was also shocked when I read chua lee hoong&#039;s article - for once I can agree. Talk about surprise after surprise. Guess there are good things coming out of this after all.</description>

Oh, sorry, I forgot that the people who said that threats were made are famous for being frank, open and truthful, especially on TV, right? Ha Ha.</p>
<p>The reality is that this bunch of wannabes have been so exposed &#8211; and as #25 Zefly says, their PR sucked big time.</p>
<p>#21) tears for fears on April 25th, 2009 3.26 pm</p>
<p>Yeah, I was also shocked when I read chua lee hoong&#8217;s article &#8211; for once I can agree. Talk about surprise after surprise. Guess there are good things coming out of this after all.</p>

		<description>alan @ 24, i totally agree with you. i think its completely stupid that she thinks she&#039;s the best role model for families/matriarch. she can work for SDU (think they doing some army dating thing - organize dates for army officers) if she wants; leave AWARE alone. 

i think its absolutely disgusting that some religious bigots think they can simply send emails, get people to partake in a coup, and happily sit back and watch show (&quot;too small an outfit&quot;). *shake head* who the hell do they think they are?!?!?

seriously, this whole thing is just making me seethe madly.</description>

		<description>Why s&#039;pore citizens making such a big fuss on this AWARE saga, drawing so much Local media attention (Foreign media are not keen to report it), leaving the economy crisis on the back stage?

Everyday, in any part of the world, someone is taking over somebody. 

Even Temasek Holdings (TH), GIC, Town Councils Lost millions of dollars, Mdm Ho in charge of TH, Retrenchment, monk going to court, ctc (negative news)............. did not even generate such Local media coverage &amp; excitment which lasted for several days. 

The old guards from AWARE are comprising of former MPs, reporters. In short, they belong to PAP. After more 2 decades of this organisation &amp; they got &quot;kicked out&quot;, it&#039;s like they lost out in the general election. 

A Big slap on PAP old guard/s face. Who is the offical old guard/s? Your guess is as gd as mine.

Old guards lost their pride &amp; can&#039;t swallow the reality. DBS did not support her as DBS belongs to govt.

Hell broke loose. Someone started to threaten current AWARE family membes just like communists. Others wanted the govt to intervene. 

More &quot;dramas&quot; in the days to come.</description>
