): Sometimes I hate aspects of myself.

Like when a completely AMAZING thing happens and when I get home I forget all about it and manage to push it to one side of my brain.

But no. Not this time. This time, so help me I WILL blog about it.

Today we went to watch quite a few Syndicates debating in the hall. They were pretty boring motions ('To give is better than to receive', 'participating is better than winning'). The last one was, 'online dating is the future'.

So on the opposition (they called it the negative team lolwtf), there was this (rather cute) guy named Josh, he was the first speaker.

Oh my Lord I was blown away by what he said.

'Hi, my name is Josh and I will talk to you about how many online dating sites discriminate. Many such dating sites, mostly the Christian ones, discriminate against gays and lesbians.'

I was immediately listening with such attention one would think I was being handed the secrets of the universe orally and not allowed to take it down on paper. Of course, I can't remember all of what he said, but it went something along the lines of, 'and what about bisexuals? What do they put, gay or not?' 'And then what about transgenders?' 'Dating sites discriminate. Why not just pick free love, instead?'


God, please please please bless this gifted soul.

To be able to stand up and say that is one of the greatest feats in the world. You may not think so, and if you do not think so, I don't give a damn. That Josh deserves a medal. Whether or not what he's said is relevant or not, I don't care, the fact that he could say it is amazing. (Strangely, not too many of the spectators were surprised. The teachers weren't overly shocked; I think in Singapore this statement would've granted a much more outraged audience, pah.)

Anyway,

God bless you, Josh!
