Je Suis Moi

Commenting on Charlie Hebdo is heavy. I wait a while before writing this. It is not that I'm trying to justify the terrorist cause. But, I just want to say that the magazine got the risk they were betting on. They lose.

They knew that Islam quite sensitive about their religious belief. They knew that it would insults many people. Yet, they do it over and over again.

Of all people, they should have known that not many people have dark sense of humor. Especially, the one that being made fun was the fundamental of their belief, i.e. religion.

There is something that non-religious people fail to understand. When people take religion to the heart, it becomes a raison d'être for that person. People would die for that reason.

An atheist will stand to his belief of not trusting any existence known as god. A religious person will stand to his belief about his god. Trekkies fought between Original series and The Next Generation series. Can you call Star Wars stinks to a fanboy?

The one contemporary example of idolatry found in South Korean fans. You would found them fans following their idol to anywhere. When I said anywhere, it means anywhere. That's why some idol there have tight bodyguards.

How scary their fans are depicted perfectly when once in a while fans war broke out. They would harass the rival idol. They would go as far as crushing any people trying to soil their idol. Yup, they are really overprotective.

It's not the cause that matters. All of us have silly causes. All we need is respect each other.

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

I Hate Marvel Civil War Storyline In Comic

See this snippets from The Amazing Spiderman: [1] http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4625006.html The snippets on [1] made it clear: Stan Lee made Spidey have a strong believe in Privacy. The comic strips show how Spidey even have to face charges because of his anonymity. The accuser even made many accusation to other entities for political attacks. A fan-art/art I've found in the 90's illustrated Spiderman standing in front of Peter Parker tomb. I don't know if that was originally from comic book or fan-made, 90's are a long time ago. That art mesmerized me and introduced me to the importance of privacy. In late nineties, I was joined to a program hold by an NGO. So, at that time I know how crucial a privacy was (and still is) to humanity. I'm not exaggerating! Humanity would fall to big financial organizations if people could not voice their fears in anonymity. Whistleblowers around the world would not dare to come up. We would not see any suppression ge...
