Hill Roberts: My own quotable (?) quotes

[hill roberts]

The UN is run by the US: both intermingle with each other and not accountable for the mistakes made in other countries where the presence of the US is of paramount importance to them...but not to us. - HR

One must have slept-walked into this bomb, not realising that it would have a tsunami response. - HR 


(My reply to those reacting hysterically to the new cyberlaws signed recently by the president, Is Democracy a sham in Pinas?)

[hill roberts]

Yearning for popularity is the only basis of facebook betrayal. - HR

[hill roberts]

Social networking doesn't mean herd mentality, which is quite annoying in people. - HR


(The whole day yesterday, comments were blackened in protest about the new cyberlaw, RA10175, where majority of them haven't even read it.)

[hill roberts]

Gossip is not a bad thing. Social networking is open gossip. It's when gossip turns vicious, vacuous and unpleasant that gossip is given a bad name. Positive gossip is healthy. Negative gossip can turn into something unpalatable between friends, especially when they begin to fall out. - HR

This is what I call panicking without knowing where the bomb is aimed at. - HR 

(Too many haven't read the RA10175, yet the herd mentality keeps re-surfacing in the Philippines. Save for that Libel Clause insertion, many of the articles and sections are similar to those of the EU.

[hill roberts]

It'd be insulting to call the US the new Banana Republic. It should be called the Bombing Republic. - HR



(In reply to a post that says the US is now poor it can start calling itself a Banana Republic)

[hill roberts]

Every other Filipino politician owns a firearm; every other wealthy Filipino owns a firearm; every other insane Filipino owns a firearm. - HR 


(In response to a post saying that the MILF wil not disarm. How can they when this sitting president, BS Aquino, owns a collection of firearms? When these politicians own private armies that are armed to the hilt?)

[hill roberts]

A dignified silence is the best weapon to fend off miscreant facebook users and detractors. 

[hill roberts]

It is needless tolerance that has put the country into a quagmire of deceit, abandonment and plain neglect. - HR 

[hill roberts]

The truth may wander for a while, but it comes around once all the facts are revealed to the world: this is a fine example of how we can expose the US as a fraudulent back-up in the SEAsian region. 


(Ban the American Military Presence in the Philippines--a reply)

[hill roberts]

Filipinos must inspire Filipinos. 


(Education in the Philippines or Eduphil, where not many members obey simple rules)

[hill roberts]

Who can blame the Chinese for their zeal and eagerness to leapfrog the US and EU countries in terms of economy? The fear of the West to be overtaken by this ancient civilisation is nothing but pure jealousy.

Hello, Joe and forum members! I'm off to Geneva soon and will be back before the month is over, to spend my belated birthday. See you all soon and thank you for this wonderful site! Joe, kudos to you!

I dislike democracy in its present form, especially in countries where they extol the new virtues of corruption, bribery and influence-peddling.
