Glorified Evil
It’s strange that although I staunchly advocate honesty, faithfulness, 
and trust; here I am rooting for the fictional bad guys. Didn’t you just want George Clooney and his crew to get away with the heists in Ocean’s 11, 12 and 13? Weren’t you relieved when Catherine Zeta Jones got through the protective laser web in Entrapment? Now that’s glamorized evil, Hollywood style!
I can’t vouch for the rest of you, but here I am admitting that I instinctively contradict myself.
But that’s fiction. Real life is different. Would we actually root for a man who’d molest children? Would we cheer for the people who successfully snatch our wallets?
Help! My Blog is Being Attacked! – Handling Comment Attacks
There are times that we could not avoid having conflict of ideas especially here in the blogosphere. People point out the differences in your opinions by laying out their own about the said topic. Discussions such as these should be encouraged, especially because these kinds of interactions keeps a blog alive.
However, there comes a time in the heat of exchanging of opinions, things get a little out of hand. Egos are stoked and beliefs are challenged. Out of anger, people resort to the use of comment attacking.
Comment Attack!
I have mentioned in my article, “Help! My Blog is Being Attacked! – Types of Blog Attacks“, about the nature of a blog attacks. Among them is a commonly used blog attack called “Comment attacks”.
Comment attacks are usually negatively outspoken comments that attack a post or the author directly. Some attacks on a blog are usually a sign of aggressive disagreements on a particular topic, there are also those who just want to cause some trouble (KSP attacks).
Either way, if these comment attacks are not handled carefully, it could have a negative effect on your blog. Here are some tips that I follow whenever my blog is being comment attacked.
Would you turn down $5,000,000,000 (5 Billion) for you ancestral land?
While I am browsing daily clip, I found this very inspiring feature article.
Jeffrey Lee is the only one left on his clan to decide what to do with his inherited land that contains tonnes of uranium deposit estimated to worth more than 5 Billion dollars. Given the price and the value of his ancestral land, Mr. Lee, turn down the 5,000,000,000 dollar and stands firm in his decision to preserve his ancestral land…
JEFFREY LEE is not interested in the soaring price of uranium, which could make him one of the world’s richest men.
“This is my country. Look, it’s beautiful and I fear somebody will disturb it,” he says, waving his arm across a view of rocky land surrounded by Kakadu National Park, where the French energy giant Areva wants to extract 14,000 tonnes of uranium worth more than $5 billion.
Mr Lee, the shy 36-year-old sole member of the Djok clan and the senior custodian of the Koongarra uranium deposit, has decided never to allow the ecologically sensitive land to be mined.
“There are sacred sites, there are burial sites and there are other special places out there which are my responsibility to look after,” Mr Lee told the Herald.
“I’m not interested in white people offering me this or that … it doesn’t mean a thing.
“I’m not interested in money. I’ve got a job; I can buy tucker; I can go fishing and hunting. That’s all that matters to me.”
On fishy waters
We associate global warming with either drought or super typhoons. We highlight the dwindling clean water supply and low agricultural output. We need to cite another important resource which is under threat: fisheries.

Alas sais pasado na! Lagi mo nalang sinasabing uuwi ka ng maaga. Anong oras ba sa’yo ang maaga?
Wag mong idahilan sakin na marami pang tao sa kalsada dahil alam kong alam mo na alas nuebe pa mauubusan ng tao sa kalye at pareho nating hindi alam kung anong oras mauubusan jan ng humaharurot na sasakyan o mga walang pasintabing nagbibisikleta. Pagod narin akong marinig ang mga alibi mong kesyo magpapahinga ka muna at malayo pa ang tatakbuhin mo sakay ng bisikleta mo. Bakit ano bang ginawa mo maghapon? Maghapon kang lang nakaupo jan at wala ka namang activities o meetings na inatenan dahil bakasyon ang mga customer ngayon. Walang nangungulit o tumatawag sayo para sa mga walang katapusan reklamo ng mga idiotic na customer na simpleng pagkasunog lang ng mga computer dahil sa simpleng pagkakatapon ng kape e irereklamo pa sa’yo kung bakit nasira. Gasgas narin ang mga linyang “ano naman ang gagawin ko kung uuwi na’ko?” Bakit ano din ba ang gagawin mo dito kung hindi ka pa uuwi? Mag-iinternet ka? May internet ka naman sa bahay? May aircon din dun kung naiitan ka. Patay din naman yata ang aircon dito ngayon dahil tumatagaktak parin ang pawis mula sa sintido mo.Itutuloy…
