But why criticize other ppl's religions openly? It is not easy for SG to come thus far in religious harmony. Why need to stir trouble? You mean it is all right to do this? |

Yes, no doubt the YPAP fella who past a certain remarks on a bus load of children, no doubt another past another remark on killing innocent unborn children, and both kind of retracted their statements. Let's not forget the other saga of 2 different churches where one member took e statue of a deities or godess off the alter and saw off the head, while another 'ex-monk and nun' took to the stage to criticize their former religion. Did the nation reacted to these as they did to AY, a teen? The sensitivity is to specific religions while the other religions are more tolerant it seems?? Selective reading/listening. |

He's outlived my expectations of his survival time actually.
No blanket parties so far, surprisingly.

For some reason, Singaporean vlogger and teenage enfant terrible Amos Yee was invited to speak at Harvard. Yes, the Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
For another unknown reason, his scheduled speech*at the Harvard College Open Campus Initiative (HCOCI) was unceremoniously canceled just 24 hours before the program, which was supposed to be conducted yesterday at*6:30pm (PST). It would have been a big moment*for the 18-year-old, if his talk had went on. It would have been his first public speaking event (at an Ivy League institution, no less) since he was granted asylum in the United States. The filmmaker-turned-activist*who*served two jail terms in Singapore for hate speech had his wish granted by the US immigration court late September after 10 months in detention. But without warning or detailed reasons, HCOCI canceled the event that had been titled “Jailed for Dissent”. Taking to his YouTube channel to respond (his Facebook page was suspended temporarily for violating community standards), Yee said he believed*that Harvard canceled his scheduled talk because of his dicey opinion on sexual age of consent laws. Namely, that they*should be eliminated — which many have taken to be proof that Yee apparently supports pedophilia. Expressing outrage over the decision, he stood his ground on his views, clarifying his beliefs to viewers. We’ll, uh, just let you read*what he said. “I feel that if a person below the age of 18 perfectly consents to having sex with an adult, he should be allowed to do it. And the adult who has sex with that person should not be sent to jail for it. “I had thoughts that I wanted to have sex with 20-year-olds when I was 16. So why shouldn’t I be able to do it? And if I did do it, it does not at all make sense that legally, the 20-year-old that my 16-year-old self had sex with should go to prison for it?” “Good point!” we like to imagine proud Alabaman and US Senate hopeful Roy Moore shouted somewhere when he read it. He*went on to state that many “misrepresented” his views and claimed that he promoted rape and child abuse — a claim he vehemently denied, asserting that he would “never promote violence to anyone”. Yee also believes*this was the same reason he was banned from the Mythopoeic Society Conference (MythCon) last month, where he was also initially invited to attend for free. “[T]his really goes against the spirit of free speech that MythCon and the Harvard College Open Campus Initiative claimed that they want to cultivate,” Yee griped, puzzled that they*were “completely discounting all the pro-human rights work that (he*had) done”. |

In Pedophilia, are we talking about below 18 years old? Who is he kidding? Some of the victims can be as young as 9 or 10 years old.
Good riddance! |

If we read objectively, he said
“I feel that if a person below the age of 18 perfectly consents to having sex with an adult, he should be allowed to do it. And the adult who has sex with that person should not be sent to jail for it. “I had thoughts that I wanted to have sex with 20-year-olds when I was 16. So why shouldn’t I be able to do it? And if I did do it, it does not at all make sense that legally, the 20-year-old that my 16-year-old self had sex with should go to prison for it?” In that text above, he stated below 18 years old, but did not suggest 14, 12, 10 or what. If we look at sex laws, 16 is legal age here. So I think it isn't legally wrong to have sex with someone who has turned 16. He also cited, when he was 16, and wanting to have sex with 20yr olds. That's again, not really a pedophilia isn't it? It's writers and readers' perception that labelled him a pedo. A search on the definition Definition of pedophilia :sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object; specifically :a psychiatric disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child Definition of prepubescent f, relating to, being in, or occurring in the period of development immediately preceding puberty prepubescent children prepubescent growth --------------------- I'm not in support of him, but the issue is out of context. Also, the things he said that upset a lot of people, not everything are wrong. He has his valid points, just that it wasn't put across in words that people loves to hear. |
