CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Singapore kind of scares me with the whole canning people for chewing gum and executing drug users.

Actually, the act of chewing gum is allowed, but selling or distributing chewing gum is not. And I don't think the penalty is caning, but more likely to be a fine (can't remember how much).

Sorry I threw in a bunch of different things that I really had no idea what I'm talking about.
If I get the time I'd like to drop a 16 hours flight to Singapore.

You should. We're not just a city that's harsh on regulations. We've lots to be discovered that's so rarely portrayed to other nations.Real Corona said:
By the way, bringing in of chewing gum is considered trafficking and is punishable with a death sentence. That's what I recalled reading the regulations just a few months back.

Trafficking chewing gum? There was once when I brought a few packets of chewing gum from Malaysia, and a custom officer found them in my bag. He just let me pass without confiscating the packets of gum and did not ask any questions.

What's Singapore like?
In terms of weather, somebody said [in a booklet that listed down things people said about Singapore] that Singapore was like a chili padi- very small and hot. In fact someone else actually said that there were three seasons in Singapore- Hot, hotter and hottest. And really very humid... though there was hail once or twice in the eastern part. When it rains, it pours (monsoon season in April and Nov-Dec I think).
It's a place where you see altars and incense burning along common corridors, and see the occasional cross on the doors. Church next to Buddhist temple, mosques nearby Hindu temples.
It's a place where there's '360 degrees of greenery- especially along Bukit Timah'. Well, most of the time... sometimes you don't see it on construction sites, or places with lots of concrete.
I think there's a lot more.
Anyway I'm from St. Andrew's Cathedral too, Sunday 11am Youth Fellowship.
