Political stuff is now even dirtier than talking about sex with your kids

Sometime back, I think I wrote an awfully good post title “Political stuff is now stickier than talking about sex with your kids“. And now, when I look back at that post dated August 17th, 2007 I have to re-phrase the whole thing.

Now, politics are dirtier, scummier, low-life, dangerous and much more sleazier than sex. So, as parents, I do not know how other parents approach this issue with their older children. I for one will openly discussed with them because we always have ‘What I just read from Malaysia-Today, Malaysiakini and so on’ talk.

Our local Malaysia politicians have made these issues like they are legal and honourable:

1) Extra-marital sex

2) False accusations

3) Telling blatant lies

4) Sodomy

5) Corruption

and much more sleazy acts.

Of course, other countries have the same thing too. In fact, almost all politics are dirty. But the difference is, over where I live, they use ‘the perceived god’ as their defence. So, how then do we make sure that our future generations are able to differentiate what is wrong and what is right? Every single side, swear by their god that they are innocent.

How sure are we that they will not have the misconceptions that it is alright to do all the sinful acts? Because usually, the bad guys get away with their load of lies and crimes and unlike a good movie, there isn’t an ending where the bad guy gets punished and the good guy triumph. In politics, the bad ones are quickly swept under the carpet or what we call media blackout.

The bad guy sits there in his high office and continue making press conference that he is innocent. I think we have just created a whole nation of liars because our teens and our children are going to be influenced by the cool facade.

While people are talking about the stock market, the economy, the oil, I think I shall worry about the moral factor. I know for sure my children are going to grow up in an even dirtier environment in future. They are going to be surrounded by these fat liars who are now influenced by the greatest liar. And sad thing is these liars may even bring in ‘the perceived god’ as their shield. So, help us Lord Jesus Christ. Parenting is now so challenging. We are like living with Pontius Pilate and Herod.

*NOTE : My version of perceived god is a non-existent god, so don’t jump to conclusion that I am referring to any faith.
