How Much Hatemail due to Misunderstanding

Since I did an article and a video on Britney Spears looking 'like a man', i.e. having some facial features that are masculine, you won't believe how much hatemail I have received. Let's put it this way: if I could have a dollar for every time I was called 'bitch' in the last few weeks, I would be very happy.

The thing is that, the article wasn't even disparaging towards Britney. I have even made it clear that she is still pretty despite what I have said. So would Britney fans really take in what I have to say, before they attack me?

About 'The Iron Lady', and My Quest

Went to see 'The Iron Lady', just before it finished screening in cinemas. The thing that struck me was how the 'failure' of a society with otherwise strong safety nets in the 1970s happened, and had to be 'changed' by Thatcher. Society 'failed' in the 1970s because we had the wrong culture, not because of the lack of Thatcherites. And we will always have the wrong culture when the elite are in control of it. That's what really needed to be changed then, and it's still what needs to be changed now.

Yes, I am Serious About Jenienland

You may have noticed that I recently added things about Jenienland, my 'virtual nation', to my twitter stream. Jenienland started out as a thought experiment, and its the place where my 'cultural ideas' can come to play. It's a serious part of my thought process. That's why I want to share it with all of you.

Which Travel Destination is Better?

One of my friends is looking for an intellectually stimulating romantic getaway for herself and her boyfriend. I suggested maybe China or Europe. Both have lots of history to see, and have beautiful scenery. Both have great food.

By the way, I believe everyone should travel more. Being ignorant about the rest of the world is not cool. It's sad that not everyone can travel because of financial inequality though. If you are lucky enough to live in a multicultural place, like me, you can travel for next to nothing, however.
