I don't know if anyone read yesterday's paper, in the opinion page, a person wrote about how he wants the government to take piracy seriously in Brunei. This arrogant fucker is too proud or too rich for his own good. I can't really say for every other people who depend on pirated DVDs to keep themselves sane by getting the only kind of cheap entertainment that's attainable and doesn't involve syringes or a candle and a spoon, but if it weren't for pirated DVDs, I can guarantee you I'd either be a junkie or a suicide. God forbid if I should resort to watching mostly shitty movies played in local theatres and their 3 dollar fucking bottled water, bottled water is fifty cents fuckers, overpricing is an understatement.
In his/her words, "You've made a decision to have 5 or 6 kids and a car payment or two now you have to support that decision and go without other areas of entertainment." This person's arrogance is just astounding. First of all, the words other areas of entertainment are practically non-existent in Brunei, what with the smoking ban (although smoking zones were separated from non-smoking zones) and the "all stores must close at 11"(I think) law and second, should families be deprived of entertainment just because they have more kids?
No, there's no justifying the fact that we are stealing from an industry that makes hundreds of billions of dollars (undoubtedly more) anually but consider this, even IF they bring in original DVDs from abroad (and that's a big IF), they'd cost as much as an upperclass prostitute or a bag of grade A hard drug, now in the mind of an immature teenager with raging hormones and friends to impress, would he/she rather buy one DVD or a week's supply of cheap drugs? I am inclined to think the latter could be a popular option.
So fuck you Jack Sparrow for being an arrogant prick! Ooooh, you think you're so smart using a fictional gay drunken pirate's name as your psuedonym.
And the stupidity doesn't end there, remember when smoking wasn't illegal in restaurants, they had a nice cozy place for non smokers where they had air-conditioning and TV, but still these people choose to sit and dine where it was really hot, smelly and noisy, the smoking zone. And to further exercise their rights to dumbness, they whine and complain and bitch to authorities that the act of smoking in the smoking zone should not be allowed. Ahhh, stupid people, you can't live with them, you can't live without them.
