Prejudice

I read a recent forum letter by an airline passenger who was rejected his flight because the airline couldn't find 2 available seats for him (due to his size). He felt that he was discriminated.

Then Pastor Rony Tan got into more trouble with another video, this time depicting his harsh words on homosexuals. No I haven't watched the video but from the articles that I had read, those on the receiving end felt it was the kind of humiliation that they had to endure.

While I don't judge people who are obese, I guess taking care of one's responsibility to look after his/her appearance. I understand that there are those who balloon due to health reasons and I feel sorry for them but a large number had to be responsible for their own size, be it due to eating habits or the unwillingness to exercise. Since it is not an overnight change from someone who is of acceptable weight to one who is obese, my point is that one should take some responsibility before crying foul and demand the whole world to treat him/her the same way as others.

Similarly, this is how I will respond on homosexuality, I hope I won't be dealt a Rony Tan because of this.

Astro Boy

I thought it would be sad to be Astro Boy. Given the power and compassion but unable to grow up as a human being but remain as a robot. But it's a movie, and we always love a happy ending =)

The Taking of Pelham 123

An anti hero thriller, which is fast-paced and enjoyable. Just that Garber's reaction towards the end of the movie seemed surreal: shouldn't he still be in a state of shock?
