The Dark 20th Century

The 20th century has been more people die from war than the previous 19 centuries put together. Germany, Japan and Italy were known as the three military fascist states. Germany and Japan are banned from being permanent members of the UN Security Council as a result of their past atrocities. The slogan 'Never Again' as such strong words which shame a people to never forget and never repeat its crimes against humanity.

The war of China and South Korea against Japan over the war history of Japan continues. Footage of the war waged by the Japanese in Nanking was captured as evidence for the war crimes committed by the Japanese troops. The Japanese Government worships the executed military generals as though they were gods and do not admit the atrocities it committed against the Koreans, Chinese, Malays, Indonesian, Thais, Vietnamese, Phillipinos and all other victimised countries.

The darkness of the 20th century has become darker in the 21st century where truth can be lie, and lies can be truth.

Beware the Little Old Lady

A little old lady tripped in a public shower because of her own clumsiness. Being very poor she decided to feign intense pain by deliberately falling over in a public space. Owing to the cultural obligation of looking after the elderly, a teacher who pitied the old lady asked 3 young school kids to help her. Two of them grabbed her hand, while the other gave instructions about how to help someone up. 

The old lady noted which school the kids came from. She alleged to the principal that the kids who helped her deliberately pushed her over. The principal, shocked, immediately gave her the addresses of the kids. Being a shrewd cunning old lady, she sued the kids' parents for "pushing" her over. Two of the kids parents gave her some money to pay for medical fees. One of the kids, however, fiercely rejected the claim that he pushed her over when interrogated by his parents. 

"My whole family will die if you do not pay," the old lady threatened the parents who the kid who denied pushing her over. "You obviously do not teach your kids properly. He pushed me over. Your kids will be cursed one day- because of you," she continued to taunt. The daughter-in-law of the old lady, who knew the truth about the incident exclaimed in shock, "You fell over out of you own clumsiness! How dare you tell such a lie!" 

The lies of the old lady died. So the parents of the kid took the story to the media. 'Beware of the little old lady', the media preaches.
