>You must be very naive to think that once a small group achieves a complete control over a country, they will use it for everybody's good.

Yeah you're right. Singapore's dictator totally didn't bring the country from third world to first world, currently ranking top 5 in the world for academic grades, lowest child mortality and GDP per capita PPP, without the help of foreign aid or natural oil resources, in less than 40 years.



Indeed, the trains run on time!

Also, you may not know this but I think you've been hellbanned (your nick is in green)


Green means the account is fairly new. However, despite the age of the account I'm not seeing it as green.

Still, don't hell-banned account posts show as [dead] to all but the owner (and even then only to those with "show dead" on)?


Green means new user


thanks for the info, I saw someone else with a green nick who apparently was hellbanned in another thread, so I assumed that was the signifier

cheers


Do you have the 'showdead' option on? If not, you shouldn't see posts from hellbanned users.


I apparently do now that I check. But I like seeing posts from the hellbanned
