Why did the chicken cross the road: Part 2.
Steve McDermott: The chicken crossed the road because there was no freedom of expression on it's side of the road. Right on the other side of the road, there are more freedom of expression, and more chickens with higher thinking level.
About Steve McDermott; Mr Steven E. McDermott BA (Hons.)(QUB,UK),MA(Warwick,UK). Was a Senior Lecturer in Sociology, Diploma in Economics and Bachelor of Science programmes.
He lectured in Sociology for 3 years in Singapore on the University of London external degree programme. Also lectured on Northumbria University's Masters programme, on Research Methods and Methodology, (HR844).
And finally, here's my take on why did the

1. That Singapore students aren't bright and do not have critical thinking skills based on the chicken's teaching experience, although the school is not a representative of Singapore's universities (NTU and NUS) .
Hmmm... one of my English lecturers comes in to lecture whilst reeking of alcohol whilst the other just talks rubbish, does that mean that all English lecturers are alcoholics and are full of rubbish?
2. That because some popular Singapore bloggers like MrBrown jokes around, pulls silly faces, and does not write seriously, that Singaporeans are infantile. Nevermind that the Singapore National Education series are satirical in nature. Or some articles or pictures are just parodies.
Maybe the arts trained chicken forgot that George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' is also a satire. Can't blame the chicken for being forgetful; while studying there, I found most of them to be so forgetful, they even forget to close their legs. Explains the number of single mothers there.
3. That the caning laws are ridiculous and repressive, although it has been effective in dealing with vandals and paedophiles. Oh yah, better to have vandals tearing out public seats, vandalising on walls and paedophiles lurking around every corner of the street than to spare their asses from the cane.
4. That freedom of expression articles means publishing and researching one sided view articles that critique a country negatively; Is that how Research Methods and Methodology, (HR844) should be taught? Not a balanced research, but a one sided research. Wow.
I must be infantile, answering questions as to 'Why did the chicken cross the road?'.
