First of all, i would like to apologise for my rash act yesterday. However, to me, this act of disrespect must not be allowed in our society that has yet to get an uproar. How much I hate to say this, I will continue to sit on the fence until all evidences have been thoroughly scrutinised. For some, this is the only justice i can make.
Lemme start.
Yesterday, The Sunday Times reported an article by the STOMP community. This post, first read, gave me mixed responses. However, further reading gave me a shock. The article titled "STOMP's Sizzling Contest" is an announcement to anyone who can send in pictures of teachers of such beauty or handsomeness that deserves to be in the contest. The sender must write in a short paragraph about why the sender chose the picture and the winner will be given $1000 but it shall be used to aid the school's funding. The first that came to me was that this competition has nothing hidden to hurt in any way. However, I read my sir's view on this and it really made me think.
SASS, my school, is a boys school. In it, one can feel laughter, sadness, ridicule, hate, deception, power hungry, love (and a bit of jealousy and some gay) but to top it all off, lust. It can't be help. A young man that was left in a school full of boys but finally able to explore the wonders in secondary life. Puberty is what doctors say. A sin for the Christians. A betrayal of the code for me. But something that can't die. Everything seems fine until here.
What if something went wrong? What if the feeling is so great that it takes over the body and mind, leaving the owner in a world of it's own? What if that happens? Pictures of teachers taken without the teachers' notice but the worst, students going to the edge by taking pictures under the skirt of teachers. Something like this has happened and I ask why.
Influences in media such as TV and internet are theoretical correct and many measures have been laid out to prevent such "over use". If that's so, something else then? Yes. And that is the article. We know this is downright bad. So we prevent it. We declare laws that keep porn-mongers away from our shores of children. We make sure our Daily gets approved by the government and such. But still, this article has somehow slipped through the sieve of many editors.
But this is not to persuade you about a point i view. This is a discussion.
"$1000 prize money to be spent by the school." I'm sure this article was carefully thought by the editors. The prize money, for example, is said to be used only by the school. 'Nuff said. The editors are not careful enough. That's all.
