Before I go to anything else, I would like to say that your act was nothing short of being immature, even at the age of 21, and that nothing is going to get me to talk to you or even see your face, unless you actually go wash your brains out and learn to think. It's Mothers' Day, so please love your mum more than mahjong.
Sometimes I really wished technology could be more primitive, especially when people are armed with camera phones and the impulsiveness to snap anything they didn't like. STOMP, the online portal of ST, is basically a congregation of trigger-happy people who have absolutely no qualms about violating the personal space and rights of others. Jack was showing me some of the photos that were posted on the "Caught in the Act" section of the website, where people actually took snapshots of sleeping/eating commuters on trains and buses, students behaving indecently by their definition, PDA, and basically everything which annoyed them at that moment that will generate literary wars on the comment box. But what can you really lock in a frame? Is it a moment of truth, or malice? A picture speaks a thousand words, but only one interpretation is accurate, so what happens to the other 999? What if the uniform-clad army officers were off-duty, and your photo resulted in their suspension? What if the teen couple on the escalator were simply talking to each other face to face or giving each other a sweet little peck? How many people would have been implicated by then? And how can you salvage the situation? NO WAY! Now, why not imagine that you've done something which annoyed someone and he took a photo of YOU?! I'll just laugh my ass off.
