The happenings in Sabah certainly is sad and tragic. I'm not a fan of history and it's is frustrating for me to understand why it happened. What is more frustrating is the fact that facebook users are giving out free advice on geopolitics, politics in general, rule of engagement etc. Which was then shared and liked by other people fueled by their quest for the truth only for their emotions to take over. Hence, i could understand how easy it is to just hit share or like. Because that what facebook is about. Liking and sharing has never been so convenient. You hear what you want to hear and like what you like. You share what you like. It's presented in a factual way so that it looks clever. We and most of the sometime I, thought that sharing something clever would impress the "friends"on facebook. Shows that we understand things and on top of the game. Some would argue that it's the least you can do to show you care.

I hope the authority would come up with the report of this whole mess quickly. Opinions does not count. I am sadden by this whole event and the last thing I want is to exploit the issue on facebook. I'm not the one at war, i don't know the people who fell victim to the shootings. I feel it's unfair for me to say anything about that. Both sides are muslims which makes it even more sad for us to be saying things.

 I'm sure the majority of us don't really understand the whole gepolitics/history/rule of engagement deal only up to what we are exposed to and maybe only recently. But most of us know how it feels to have lost someone. 

my alter (conspiracy theory) persona  is saying someone is laughing and benefiting from all of this.

I dare not call myself an expert on the issue. In fact even the experts are a bit reserved about the whole issue. But these few days, I've seen some crap posts about the whole situation. I hate to say that it is overrated but it is. How can we, through facebook condemned anyone over things that is presented as facts but was never verified. How can someone who up to only recently suddenly became a geopolitics cum historian.

And the news, well, that's another story. The fact that they can use it as some sort of political campaign is utter garbage.

And that's what is so funny about it. The TV stations might skew the facts, showed their version of the story, viewers may like the story and might even share it. Most of ushate that but... we, in some way or another, through facebook are guilty of advocating that too.
