ok back to work for me!
enjoy your night guys! -
Serious, icemoon, at this point of time, you do not have evidence or nothing absolute concrete. You could be proven right or wrong. Please dont come again and talk about unfactual things and convincingly and these sorts before you go on a fact finding mission.Originally posted by Icemoon:I think my theory is scientific, i.e. it is refutable.
We can jolly well do a survey.
Or if you want the ultimate, we can flip the respective yearbooks.
It is not the case that I didn't give any avenue for evidence, like the classical "you think, he say, who confirm".
Thats the point I had said before. And way long time ago, when you made your very first post on this issue, I had said, whats the point of saying all these, or rather, what is the point you want to bring out?
I dont know what you are trying to play at, and I dont want to guess

I have no doubts that Catholics are better at infusing their values. My impression of Protestants has been "all talk but no action only". Their believers are especially guilty of that.Originally posted by ben1xy:hmm, my classmates that came from my Catholic school were thankful for the Catholic values imparted to them. I was pretty surprised actually... plus they just told me about it recently... that it really helped them in the workplace.
but then again it might be the school culture. but the school culture would be shaped by Catholic values?
Which is why it is a heartpain if the rumour about CJC is true. -
BingoOriginally posted by ben1xy:u use the empirical scores to do analysis mah. a good example would be why the Toyota Lean Production System doesn't work in any other country. It's attributed to culture specificity and the power distance and indv value dimensions
Unlike many other culture books, Hofstede research is quite extensive, if not exhaustive.
Its very good when a lot of people nowadays are practically transferring overseas for regional assignment. And i believe then people might have an idea whether lean production, TQM or the Swedish model work. -
Actually, some novels I read, when it comes to Catholic schools, would have some romantic idea about a idealistic gal who felt she is restricted by the overrzealous nuns in her school and felt rebellious and do a lot of stuffOriginally posted by ben1xy:hmm, my classmates that came from my Catholic school were thankful for the Catholic values imparted to them.

I wonder if that is true of Catholic schools? -
You mean its something like City Harvest Education centre?Originally posted by ben1xy:i think it's the type that let's private candidates sit for O levels. or something similar...
i remember a friend once told me... i can't recall exactly though -
I think you forget one thing - I'm not exactly crafting out an argumet to make my readers buy it.Originally posted by laurence82:Serious, icemoon, at this point of time, you do not have evidence or nothing absolute concrete. You could be proven right or wrong. Please dont come again and talk about unfactual things and convincingly and these sorts before you go on a fact finding mission.
Put it this way, what I said is already on the "public domain". If there is anything I am guilty of, it will be parroting what's already available.
Furthermore, I don't think I have deeply hurt the average ACS student or alumni who reads it. Even you admitted that their chinese is not exactly good (remember your 'so what' reply?). Which is why my allegations can't be too far from the truth.
I could be proven right or wrong, yes. But at least I could be proven wrong. My allegations didn't come from thin air that no one can confirm.
If my reply is to the chagrin of any ACS student or alumni, they can jolly well provide the evidence that proves my allegations unfactual. I will gladly stand corrected.
There is no way to ascertain whether IJ girls are loose, but the way to ascertain whether my allegations are true, or totally unfounded, is straight at our face. -

And I respect and admire him for that. -
So instead of you supporting your argument, I have to provide evidence against when i ask for your evidence?
And my question stem from the very beginning, in asking you what is the point of doing all those. They have been asked, and unfortunately, unanswered. Its not derived from saying, yes i agree with you so what, the issue of evidence being the later part. -
Actually I have given the evidence. There is no rule saying you have to give the statistics. If this is an academic paper, I have given the source in my citation. The source is readily available.Originally posted by laurence82:So instead of you supporting your argument, I have to provide evidence against when i ask for your evidence?

I don't think it is required in a manuscript to append the source article as well right?
What's the point? Hmm .. I forgot liao. Partly to rant. -
And if you are to disgree, then it is your turn to give the source.

So, what 'source' and 'evidence' have I missed? I hope sincerely its not your impression thingie againOriginally posted by Icemoon:Actually I have given the evidence.

There is no rule that the other party must give his source or evidenceOriginally posted by Icemoon:And if you are to disgree, then it is your turn to give the source.
It didnt mean because I have the answers, but rather, your answers are not convincing enough. Its not a test of who win who lose anyway. -

The above shows the performance during their (acs) 2005 'O' levels.
For previous years comparison, kindly refer to their respective yearbooks. -
Oh .. I have no obligations to convince you anyway.Originally posted by laurence82:There is no rule that the other party must give his source or evidence

Didn't I say I wasn't trying to make the readers buy my argument? -
Why I said that?
Because there is too much generalisations plus again, for the nth time, I dont know the intention of you suddenly finding the need to post what you had post, and to achieve what aim.
Besides, if you check back, why suddenly harp on alcoholism and drugs as Western social ills, ACS losing their roots, ACS lousier at Mandarin etc etc?
I am not going to push you for concrete evidence, because i am not utterly convinced yet you could collect convincingly enough evidence, but the point of all those things you said -

You blatantly ignore what I said about not having evidence before you made the statements right? -
Its ok to retreat that wayOriginally posted by Icemoon:Oh .. I have no obligations to convince you anyway.

I can give way -
Bah, waited three posts
I going to take a rest for my giddiness
Go ahead and post bah
For the last time on this issue, pls dont xian zhan hou zhou and do these sort of funny thing. Go ahead and make statements, supported or not, if you like. I wont be bothered to zui jiu this kind of issues liao
I go sleep

The mention of alcoholism and drugs is an allusion to the liberal western values - happening, charismatic etc. I am not insinuating that ACS guys take drugs. The only negative things I said about the ACS family was that the skirts in ACJC getting shorter and shorter.Originally posted by laurence82:Why I said that?

The part about them losing their roots is just something ironic, as such I can't resist pointing it out. It is one of those schools with 'Chinese' perpetually etched into their name. Last time, there were many schools with names like XX Chinese Middle School, but had their names changed due to the bilingual policy. It is a pity the students are anything but chinese nowadays.
Don't worry, I have no ulterior motive, not trying to cause bad feelings. I am just the you3 hua4 zhi2 shuo1 kind of person.
Like I said, I already have the evidence. It is a simple matter of looking it up that's all. -
And what?Originally posted by laurence82:And?
You blatantly ignore what I said about not having evidence before you made the statements right?
The evidence are there. I believe they are at least a few volumes thick. -
I don't have to retreat.Originally posted by laurence82:Its ok to retreat that way

I was all along in my castle. It was you who came and attack me. -
I suspect there is a certain fear in your heart.Originally posted by laurence82:For the last time on this issue, pls dont xian zhan hou zhou and do these sort of funny thing. Go ahead and make statements, supported or not, if you like. I wont be bothered to zui jiu this kind of issues liao

I think the readers will agree that the odds are on my side. It is more probable that the chinese standard of ACS sucks more than the english standard of CHS.
If I were to give support, I don't believe you will be bothered to refute, or rather find the evidence to refute.
You probably just shrug it off.
