Pinoy Thread v.6

yeah yeah twins nga, ang dami din nagreact over at POP.

re: 2girls. Tsk tsk. Like Maddox said. You don't know freaky until you see porn on the internet. Man, it just used to be bunny ears for fetishes. Now you get all those piss porn and sh*t porn. What are people thinking???

Anyway, speaking of nausea, I had nausea all day because of the sight of a dead guy on the road. It was a motorcycle accident right in front of our place. When I saw the teeniest bit of blood on the road my stomach churned. Now yonie shows me this?? -_-

hehehe actually i was using it for so long i dont even notice it anymore... and then i was playing CS source and i notice the brightness... and then wow, man this filter needs to be cleaned a lot. im gonna be using it again, i always use the PC in the dark

you guys seen the latest internet phenomenon? 2girls1cup? i suggest dont put a dot com in that term if you cant handle it.... like me. i only lasted three seconds. lots of videos being posted around youtube for reaction about it... including kermit the frog and Joe Rogan!

actually, luma na yan...

tagal na nyang 2girls1cup.... mga 2 years (or more) na siguro since i last saw it.

@bbsai
they say the japs get a kick out of 'em, like it's a fetish or whatever.

sadly, my linux partition died today(december 6) on 7:30 am. I've become greedy. i need more space for my games. and pr0n. and partly because buying a video card (radeon 9500) brought disastrous effects on him-- he was blinded, blinded with raw, pure power he never tasted before (and never programmed to accept).

goodbye, redhat. goodbye.

may you be remembered as the partition that gave space to LEGO Star Wars.
("Imperial March" plays on background)

P.S. don't worry, you'll be ressurected like Vader - i'll up your version from 2.4 to 5

OK, gotta go reboot! partition magic 7 really works like magic.

 

[baboysai]

Heheh redhat and Vader?

[hunter71485]

ANO?! 32% LANG?! I DEMAND A RECOUNT!!!!

HINDI TOTOO YAN!!!

eto tignan niyo ha: kung ang lahat ng *legitimate* buisness (land dev't, commerce, etc) e nagbabayad ng tamang buwis, e hindi na natin kelangan umutang!

sa totoo lang, sa taxation system ng bansa natin e ine-encourage pa ang mga businessmen na maglagay na lang dahil makakatipid sila ng 99% tax! tignan mo yung petroleum companies na yan. bakit hindi sila magalaw ng gobyerno kahit unjustified ang pagtaas ng presyo nila? bakit yung mga bangko na yan na may "credit card scam" e hindi pinapakialaman ng gobyerno?

 

[baboysai]

Well I don't pay bribes. So it's believable only 32% of Pinoys do. hehe. But the point is... -_- it means a third of our population do. And that's only bribes, a very specific act. There's blackmailing, threatening, and other forms of coercion that's not counted.

And look at the countries we're with! mga -stan2x. not that I look down on them or anything, pero baka kasi sa culture nila ay uso talaga ang bribery. Pero di naman ganyan sa pinas e.. erk. 0.0 or so I thought. -_-

 

[yoniekai]

cmon hunt, 32% is a lot. i dont remember myself paying a bribe, im too proud to accept that... but i know a lot of people who dont pay bribes too. but 1/3 of the population is just right for our country. a lot but not really most. in fact most likely (in my place anyway) bribing will greatly offend

 

[hunter71485]

do you know what 32% means?

it means 32% of the paying population, which represents less than half of our total population...

and remember, our country is ruled by 200 families who has firm hold over our economy and politics...

so, taking into account that the total population is more than 70 million, i'd say about 9,000 - 12,000 individuals are lording over us...

@bbsai
wala akong mabasang [country]-stan... except for pakistan... and they're muslims... they have differing culture from ours...

and guys, define "lagay". hindi ba ang lagay eh

isang bagay o anumang uri ng gawain na ibibigay upang makakuha ng favor sa isang tao

so, napakabroad din ng definition ng lagay.

at ang cameroon ay meron pa ring civil war. wag ka nang magtaka. actually, lahat sila (pwera sa pinas) ay naiipit sa isang crisis, economic o political. tayo, gumagawa lang ng sariling gulo ang ating gobyerno. kasi naman, meron tayong mga opisyal na gustong makarami bago matapos ang tungkulin sa 2010...

hay nako... naalala ko tuloy ang smartbro...(sabay tingin sa sig)
p*tang*nang smartbro yan... ang mahal-mahal tapos ganyan lang...

 

[baboysai]

naguguluhan ako... the table is about bribes, not taxes. That's probably why it's 32% is also because during elections people do pay a lot of bribes, party by party, candidate per candidate, underling per underling. Plus throw in the rest of the other people who bribe witnesses and stuff, 32% is a lot.

What I meant about the -stan2x countries (even though it's only Pakistan in the list) are those confusing countries that you know are somewhere in the middle east perhaps (hehehe basta nalang nilabel ano? >.<) that are in some dry land and at war and stuff.

bribing isn't limited to elections, bbsai. kung ayaw mo magbayad ng tamang tax, hahabulin ka ng BIR, tapos lagyan mo lang para mapababa ang babayaran mo -- ira-"write-off" nila na binayaran mo na tax mo...

trust me, i know... my mom's a financial manager... she handles such transactions for her boss who grew up in corporate corruption...

EDIT:

hm.... tinignan ko list ng pinoy members ng MH...

less than half (about 20%) lang ang nakapag-post sa hangout threads natin...

corruption/bribery/"lagay"

regardless of whatever we call it, or whatever the survey says, it just points one to significant and horrible thing: the Philippine Government is corrupt and rotten.

I remember getting my Police Clearance in Western Police District HQ and they were actually asking a higher pay (with matching colored sign board in front of their office) for those people who woudl want to get their clearance that day also. Not that there was really a choice since it was the only price available.

 

[hunter71485]

well, we can blame the cultural phenomenon known as "lagayan" to our commonwealth president and his cronies who also became presidents of the republic.

if anarchy is a legit type of government i'd choose that.

 

[bakashijinsan]

No Anarchy for me.

I think being a communist country would even out everything. And when the dust settles, go back to being a republic.

 

[hunter71485]

communism isn't really what it says in the book. it's worse than dictatorship -- personal, social and economic liberties are too restricted, and everything belongs to the government. everything. even your soul.
