Jumbled Thoughts. Part 2.

I wonder why the author of “Men are from Mars and women are from Venus” chose those two planets to be included in the title. Why Mars and Venus? Why not Saturn and Jupiter. Doesn’t Jupiter, the biggest planet, look more manly than Mars? Saturn, with all it’s colorful rings, more feminine than Venus? If I was that author I would have chosen Saturn and Jupiter! Men are from Jupiter and Women are from Saturn! There, a new title to the book but it won’t be about relationships. Why do we have to write about relationships if we were to talk about men and women? Everything is always about relationships now.

Don’t agree? Let me tell you. One third of the kids my age constantly talk about how this that went well but in most cases bad with their “counter part(s)”, the other one third sulks of not having one and the remaining one third basically have no idea what the hell they are up to half the time they’re alive.

When you meet a friend after a while, you get asked either one of the following lines, usually”

1. Hey! How are you? You’ve gotten so fat/thin!

2. Hi! Whats up? When are you getting married?

It’s so annoying. Maybe the girl/boy have a reason to be single and she/he doesn’t want everyone to know about it. Same goes to being fat/thin. Can’t people talk about the weather? No one cares about the environment anymore. As in the Ice Age 2, animated movie, we would be in deep shit of trouble when the solar caps melt. There won’t be two big sharp toothed fishes coming out, but it’s going to be huge quantities of water, rising the sea level and countries like Maldives would be in deep trouble hard to get out of! Better start migrating now eh? Where to? South pole which is already melting?

I wonder if there’s one big Island, like in the series Lost, undiscovered that all Maldivians could migrate to. But without the “hostiles” and “hatches” please. We don’t need crazy humans testing on us few Maldivians making us extinct. No maybe that would be better. Then there’d be no more child gang rapists getting a new sentence of 2 years banishment rather than the 08 months which it was before. What good does that make? 8 months, 18 months, 24 months which is the maximum as I’ve heard. Banishment to an island? Wonder how well that would reform the guys who did it. Isn’t punishment the way to limit crimes? Wouldn’t banishing them to an Island, full of happy people as well as kids (12 year old kids too!) give these criminals a free environment to live, be subject to socializing, come and go where ever they want in that island? When would they start realizing the crime they did? When would these guys feel ashamed of what they did? Maybe they already do. But still, banishment to an island is not the verdict to be given to gang rapists. Period.

We need the new penal code, and if I renew it, I’d make it a lot more strict on punishments! I see criminals going in and out of jail every 06 months or so as if it’s fancy merry-go-round. Do it again, be taken again and be released again. Time to do it again. The punishments given aren’t preventive, deterrent, reformative and definitely not the least bit retributive. It’s just merry-go-round-ish!
