I had always thought that Famous A was a great product.
I had the best Famous A phone.
The Famous A warranty is only a measly 1 year. There is a good reason for this. Manufacturers know that for well known brands, people will buy them even if the warranty is short. They have the trust that the product is of good quality. This is a reputation that the company had built up over the years, producing goods that last.
The Kill Switch
Companies realized that if they produced goods that last, the happy customer will not return to buy the goods again, because his product is still in working condition. This results in reduced sales and profits for the company.
The Finnish company Nokia produced high quality durable phones that could last for several years. Unfortunately, it went into financial trouble.
It is a well known strategy that companies will program a kill switch to render obsolete the product after the warranty period has passed. They carry out surveys to ask the man on the street how long they think a product can last. This will be a reasonable time frame to activate the kill switch or for the product to biodegrade and self-destruct. Yet another product destined for the dumping ground China.
Most people don’t think about it. They are unhappy for a while, buy a new product, and toss the old product into the bin. Out of sight, out of mind. With the Great Firewall of China in position, there is little that people know or care about what happens in China.
It is not just China. Other Third World Countries are being exploited as dumping grounds. Even responsible First World Countries are running out of dumping space.
I come from a generation that values conservation of resources. We know that things can be designed to last, because we have experienced it before.
Many young people have a “I don’t care” attitude. It is OK if people don’t care who people love. I believe this is the saving grace of the pop song “I love it, I don’t care”. It is not OK if you do not care about the destruction of Earth.
There is a solution. Conservation of resources has to make economic sense. Governments have to play a part to introduce artificial incentives to encourage companies to make products that last.
A possible measure is to keep track of statistics of how long a company’s products last. This could be managed by the government in order to prevent abuse by jealous competitors.
Let the consumers decide. We can see for ourselves which companies are producing lasting products. This would attract new customers, resulting in increased sales and profits. The happy customer with a good old product in hand does not need to buy another one.

Rubbish Dumping Ground
Update : I visited the Famous A service centre and was happy to know that I had purchased the extended warranty. Praise God ! My Famous A phone is still within the two years warranty.
Update : I just received my brand new replacement Famous A phone on the house. I ❤️ Famous A !
Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ ”

(If God can perform gene transforms, why doesn’t God make me ABC/XYZ?)
Some things are easier said than done. For example, time travel.
Suppose that time travel is commonplace and there are many time travellers.
Suppose one day, or from one day onwards, time travellers say that God hates non-time travellers, that non-time travellers are immoral and have no moral values.
How would the non-time travellers feel about it? They would of course wish to become time travellers. But they can’t.
God can do anything. Suppose that God chooses a subset of non-time travellers and performs a gene transform on them, such that they become time travellers. Will they also have this time-traveller pride and say that God hates non-time travellers?
Picking one of multiple contradictory viewpoints and claiming God says what you want to say.
The statement is most likely the same as that which another person used God Mode on you.
This leads to a propagation of God Mode statements.
L-mode
Such a skill is possessed by followers of monotheistic religions based on ancient text written by humans who lived thousands of years ago.
They fail to understand that modern science, technology, and ethics should be used to correct the outdated perceptions of Homo sapiens who lived several hundred years ago.
Actions speak louder than words.
God Mode is not limited to words alone. For example, a homophobic Christian may murder a person because of the victim’s sexual orientation. He can be said to be practising God Mode in action. He thinks his action is right (by following God’s order) but it is clearly wrong. He has chosen to ignore the part of the bible that says he should not kill. He has chosen to follow the part of the bible that says he should get rid of people with non-standard sexual orientations. Also, the person who practises God Mode is an expert at Double Speak, such as “accepting but not affirming” or “disapproval is not stigmatization” or “wicked is good”. He can hold two contradictory viewpoints in his mind and think that they are both true. Those who say they don’t affirm actually don’t accept and hopes the whole world does not accept a certain minority group. Those who express disapproval are actually contributing to the stigmatization of the minority group. This leads to more people using God Mode to justify hate crimes.
To all the homophobic Christians who justify murder:
The sense of superiority that a gay (usually Christian) person has when he (possibly out of innocent ignorance) thinks he is able to “overcome” his homosexual tendencies that he believes is offensive.
Example of usage : He was parading his homophobic pride again, causing more LGBTQIA people to commit suicide or be expelled from homes onto the streets, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Homophobic pride can be very gentle, such as persuading an LGBTQIA person to stop being an LGBTQIA person. Are you really sure they are not born this way ?
Celebration of Diversity
What can we do ? We can accept LGBTQIA people for being who they are. Everybody is born differently. Let us celebrate diversity. Let us practise Ethical Christianity. Let us let love win.
HH felt that DD was always or almost always wrong.
HH cannot and will not endorse DD.
HH will continue to resist any public promotion of DD.
The HH movement was to defend the official position of the government.
HH was a Christian and had been accepted and affirmed by the Pope.
HH murdered millions of DD in toxic gas chambers.
HH was not born this way as one of the DD.
HH says the majority of the population appear to be against DD.
The people were afraid to stand up against HH.

This hatred of happy rainbow people is destroying the family unit because sons and daughters are rejected for being who they are, for being born this way, leading to depression, suicidal thoughts, and negativity.
===
During the apartheid, racism was considered a universally accepted norm and a public good. The same is true for homophobia today. The same was true of slavery. The same was true of the Earth-centred universe during the time of Galileo Galilei.
===
HH was selfish because they did not want DD to participate in the happiness that they enjoyed.
HH used religious propaganda to dehumanize DD, thereby justifying their exclusion from the basic human rights of freedom, truth, and love.
HH identified DD as the common enemy so that he could gain power and authority through the dogma of fear.
If we don’t fight, we have already lost. It is human nature to be selfish. The happy rainbow people have already lost by numbers alone.
We are outnumbered 72 to 1. We need to punch 72 times our own weight. In the name of the Ancient of Days, Jesus the Messiah, the Holy Spirit, and the 72 names of God, let my people be free.

Whilst the Jews of Europe were the Nazis’ primary target, many millions of other people were also imprisoned, enslaved and murdered. These people included Roma, those with mental or physical disabilities, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, trade unionists, political opponents, Poles and Soviet prisoners of war.
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
38 Sebab aku yakin, bahwa tidak ada yang dapat memisahkan kita dari kasih Allah, — baik kematian maupun hidup, malaikat maupun roh-roh yang memerintah, semua yang terjadi sekarang maupun yang akan datang,
39 kuasa-kuasa, sesuatu yang di atas kita maupun yang di bawah kita, atau sesuatu yang terdapat dalam dunia ini, — tidak ada yang dapat memisahkan kita dari kasih Allah, yang kita temukan dalam Kristus Yesus, Tuhan kita.

596 Homosexuality, Biology and Sexuality
Takehome message:
Mothers with high stress during pregnancy are likely to give birth to children with nonstandard sexual orientations. Therefore, if you are pregnant please relax and be kind to people.
The world is viewed as black and white and the members are constantly exhorted to conform to the ideology of the group and strive for perfection. The induction of guilt and/or shame is a powerful control device used here.

Our friend used to love to wear white, but has stopped wearing white because of the hateful and selfish Wear White movement that promotes homophobia and discrimination against LGBT people.
I have been wearing white but that does not mean I support the Wear White movement. Post hoc ergo propter hoc.
Fear leads to hate. Please do not fear the happy rainbow people.
===
Wear Blue.
To be more educated and unselfish. To accept and affirm our colourblind brothers and sisters. To make the world a better place for colourblind people, poor people, left handed people, dwarfs, giants, Kleinfelters, Turners, Aspergers, the deaf, the mute, the blind, the physically or mentally handicapped, the LGBTQIA people, the fatherless, the motherless, the orphans, the abused, the neglected, the afflicted, the coloured, the uneducated, the atheists, the philosophers, the slaves, the have nots, the childless, the widows, the widowers, the bachelors, the spinsters, the singles, the fat, the ugly, the old, and the childlike.
To love one another as Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve, regardless of whether you are born this way or that way.
===
Wear the Rainbow.
To celebrate diversity.
===
I have been wearing white because the seven colours of the rainbow are found in white light. Also, I have been wearing white to show my affiliation to the most powerful political party of our Milky Way Galaxy – a form of mimicry – haha.
I have been wearing white to look youthful because white is the colour of my school uniform.
Also, please wear white if you are riding a motorcycle so that you look like the traffic police and selfish road users will not bully you.
Please wear white when you go to a Chinese funeral to respect their customs.
Please wear white if you are a doctor, a nurse, or a security guard. This shows that you love your work.
Wear white to keep cool by reflecting the sun’s radiation especially in a sunny island set in the sea.
Wear white when you go to an equality marriage, when you go for an interview, or when you attend a Ku Klux Klan masquerade ball.
Wave the white flag if you surrender. Wave the rainbow flag if you celebrate diversity.
Wear black to support minority rights.
Wear yellow to let people love who they love and don’t fight.
Wear green to be more concerned about saving planet Earth than fighting over who is allowed to love who.
Wear orange to compare apples with apples and compare oranges with oranges.
Wear purple to be laid back and enjoy watching the minions wage their war.
Wear words to show that you are literate.
Wear pink to be nonchalant.
===
Here’s what happens to Pink Dot/Triangle supporters.
There is a heated debate currently going on in India regarding the rights of women.
India’s Daughter, a highly controversial film, in which Leslie interviewed rapists to find out the thoughts of the men, may be banned in India.
You can see how the rapists and the lawyers justify the rape for reasons such as ‘Women are harmless domestic animals’, or ‘She is on the streets after 8:30 therefore she is a bad woman so I can rape her’.
In India, a baby boy is given a full glass of milk while a baby girl is only given half a glass of milk.
Society’s mindset need to change.
A good moral principle to follow is:
Setient beings should not suffer.
This can be derived from the Golden Rule:
Do to others what you would want them to do to you.
Matthew 7:12 New International Version (NIV)
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
If you do not want suffering to yourself, please do not cause suffering to other people.
