Lau Lee's grandson is world best debater

[cooleo]

the good lawyer follows his conscience, guided by what he believes is morally RIGHT. He would not take up the case if he think his client is guilty. Even if he takes up the case, he would advise his client to plead for leniency then fight it out

Joke of the month for January 2010 (yes i know, we are only on the 7th today)

A good debater or a good lawyer is one who whilst believing that a thing is black can yet actually convince others it is white. A pro-lifer at heart advocating abortion; a repressive tyrant at heart championing democracy. Yea, even faking an orgasm.

So a person who can compartmentalise his thinking and not get schizophrenic.
Of course, if done too long, can become mad.

Like MM --Mad Man.

speaking of madman, nong nong ago, there was a forummer madmansg always complaining about NS killing Sporns. Is he still around or reincarnated into some other nick or 'cured' (no longer mad) ? :p

It will be interesting to find out the conditions for awarding 'world's best debator'. I suspect the winner must come from a team from the finals. So he is better than the 5 others in the final.... but not in the whole competition. There may be better people in some of the losing teams.

It's like how the MVP of soccer tournaments is awarded. When the prize is given out after the finals, winner is from one of the teams there.

Bro angry man,

Frankly I don't think it matters. It's clear that he had obtained this award on foreign soil, against foreign competition, by foreign judges.
As I said in a previous post, congratulations to him and I think he really deserves praise.
What we should be monitoring is what these people achieve when they are here.

hi there

1. bro, no offence, if you are this good, kindly get out of sam's coffee and find somewhere that is comfortable to your calibre.

sorry, i disagree that he is that good as his posts are more of insults than substance (at least for this page)

unless of course, you are referring to good insulting skills?

Actually it is quite known in circles that their marriage is on the rocks. Which was why Lee went to Australia for a 'break' after leaving Singtel and before joining F&N.

Heard that they are now alright but I wonder if the old man had anything to do with this.

There was even a rumour that he is gay but for this I do not believe.

Fuck lah, he is not gay. His brother is. The old man frowns very much on divorce and married scandals. Although its well known he has a mistress in Taipei. If you know his wife, u will not blame hsien yang. She is a dragon lady bitch and he is basically a decent guy when he married her. She wears the pants in the family, I am guessing that after some years, he probably cannot tahan her anymore. I can't blame him.

Did not know Prof Lim was a student of John Hicks. Hicks did much to elevate our understanding of macroeconomic theory with his IS-LM model. In the 1937 article 'Mr Keynes and the Classics' he successfully made use of diagrams, curves and equations to recast Keynes's wordy analysis found in the book 'General Theory' published a year earlier.

Yes, its well known that he is a copy cat of other people's economic theory. He has not published anything original worth reading.

The greatest debater in Singapore is Chan Sek Keong, who can argue that loitering outside a polling station is a crime but when the politicians get mysterious teleported into the polling station, it does not become a crime anymore.
