Making silly banters have become a habit for most people. Just because they have every right to express what they feel, they say things without regard for the consequences. They criticize to the point that they're already stepping on somebody else's rights and degrade someone to the point of being totally garbage.


I really don't care about what other people say or do, but the moment that they cross the boundaries and become plain rude, I can't just stand doing nothing. I pride myself with the fact that I can let other people win when obviously, it's useless to argue. Intelligent people know when to shut up and when to speak their mind. And come on, every once in a while, people should let go and stop being self-righteous b*&^#@! more than they already are.

The RH Bill has been making the headlines. It's like the whole country's future is dependent on the said bill. Well, that might be the case but I'm looking forward to the representatives of the land to become models for its citizens. What I really wish is for them to discuss and debate intelligently. By intelligent, I hope they can keep their focus on the issue and not get sidetracked with each other's flaws as humans. I hope they can be what they are, senators and representatives, who would weigh the pros and cons and not gnarl at each other like mad dogs.

I think the purpose of debating is not only to educate but for this case, get most of the representatives and the senators to side with the idea that RH Bill is either good or bad for the country. What's wrong with providing facts and figures? Would calling someone names (thank God, it hasn't reach that far yet) make any difference at all? Who would get votes with name calling (or should I say insults) anyway?

If the senators and house representatives are fighting like mad cows in their respective houses, throwing insults all around and challenging each other to fist fights, what message are they sending to the Filipino people? The bill was passed and everyone will be given the chance to speak their minds. Everyone wil have a say, that's for sure. I know however that the reason why there is this on-going debate is because all of us are just being vigilant about what's good for the country.

What's the win-win position here?

Compromise!

If that word is too hard to understand, then even if everyone debates over and over again and people will kill each other, we will be heading nowhere.

(P.S. This is my two-cents, if you don't agree with my thoughts, at least show some decency and respect it.)
