Thoughts on a particular writer to the forum

I never thought that this is even remotely possible... Someone wrote in to forum pages of Singapore to ask for dogs to be banned in HDBs. His reason? Some owners are ikrresponsible and never clear the outputs of their dogs from common areas. Also, he mentioned a particular incident on an owner failing to remove the dog out of his way....

Now, let's think about it... This might actually be a good idea. Yup, we will ban dogs from HDB flats. In fact, since we know for a fact that some people are irresponsible road users, we should ban all types of personal vehicles. There are also irresponsible people who leave their things along common corridors, maybe we should ban these people from leaving their homes. On further thought, we should ban all people from leaving their homes, there are definitely some people who are irresponsible when walking from point to point, not looking where they are going and bumping into people. We have definitely met people who are irresponsible when it comes to their work, let's ban all Singporeans from working, that might reduce the problem. How about irresponsible parents? Let's ban children from Singapore as well...

Hopefully, who ever wrote that letter to the newspaper will read this and realise just how narrow-minded his suggestion is. He is DEFINITELY not a dog-lover, but he must realise that the world does not revolve around his likes and dislikes. He should stop behaving like some spoilt brat asking the parents to solve his problems.
