The Garbage Collectors

[morkee]

^{*Inspired by Keen and Marvs discussing their own opposing viewpoints}

Argument
"Garbage Collectors in other countries do have more recognition than here in Philippines.."

- Anyone may express their own opinions.

[ghostface]

Hmmm. why do I have the feeling there is going to be a war in here? hehe.. ;D

[Pervertfox 고 러]

i think so too..

actually most blue collar jobs in other countries have more recognition than here in the Philippines.. i believe its because of our culture way back from the spanish era..

[morkee]

lalim naman nun astig ehehehe

[ghostface]

I agree.. Sir pervertfox astig!! ;D

FYI "Mutilate"-is an act or physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of the (human) body, usually without causing death.

[Pervertfox 고 러]

hehe... should have used degrade..
but i do stand corrected.. thanks ghostface.. ^_^

but mutilate sounds good.. ^_^

"degrading moral and dignity is prohibited.."

[sharpangel]

;D okay just to make the discussion clear..

I saw the Japanese tourism video in RPN 9 showing garbage collectors that contributes a great amount of service to society.

I told marvz that its only in third world countries that garbage collectors are misinterpreted as a low class job.. In other countries such as the US, garbage collectors are more like policemen, firemen or something equivalent that renders service and receives a high paying salary.

Marvin insists that it is a fact around the world that people look down to garbage collectors..

TAMA BA NAMAN YUN?! ;D

I talked to Mang Rudy( a garbage collector in QC) while he was resting and the others were repairing their truck.

I asked him if it ever crossed his mind to become a garbage collector... well, he answered "ofcourse not! I had nothing else to do, I might as well make myself useful and provide for my family ".

Marvin also termed the word scavengers for the US as equivalent for the our filipino "basureros"..

[morkee]

okay.. Now keen has made his motion, its now time to hear what marvin has to say. ;D

[sharpangel]

marvin yohoo.. ;D

[Pervertfox 고 러]

we'll be waiting for marvin.. people post your comments too.. ^_^

i disagree.. the cause of all this discrimination goes way long the spanish era.. We have been living in a society full of barriers and social discrimination. Even our ancestors had their own caste system where the datus rule and alipins are traded.. The power to think and emotion are our greatest strengths among other species but also it is our main weakness.. We think too much that we become selfish and full of pride, neclecting the essence of pure morality and disregarding the things that really matter. We feel alright but sometimes we feel insecure of ourselves that we tend to stray away from others..

We had been living a lie that our government is there to protect us. And we have been unseeming left off from the industrial revolution that they had promised us in the elections. Shame on them...!

Fact is I did not in anyway say "Kill the garbage collectors!" nor did I say "Garbage collectors are being screwed over anywhere in the globe".

That day, the only thing I clarified with Mr. Sharpy is the difference between the scavenger and the garbage collector. They are not the same.

TERMINOLOGY (in order to f**k!ng clear things up):
1. Basurero (eng: Garbage Collector) - naghahakot ng basura every morning and dumps em in a truck tapos dinadala sa incinerators or land fills.

2. Namamasura (eng. Scavenger) - someone who makes a living by getting garbage more usually without the aid of an autombile of some sort. He collects garbage so he could USE them. As opposed to a garbage collector who merely collects garbage.. a scavenger collects garbage so he could USE Them. Gets gets???

SITUATION in the philippines:
Both scavengers and garbage collectors get discriminated. Fact is here in the phillipines, any job na mano mano gets spat upon in someway. Yes.. we inherited that from those goddam spaniards who liked sitting their butts off better than working out. Thus, here in the Philippines, scavengers and garbage collectors are very interchangeable.. worse, they may actually mean the same thing.

SITUATION in some other god forsaken place:
Garbage Collection is a highly paid profession and carries with it the same respect as that of an office work . Scavengers on the other hand STILL get kicked around should they end up on somebody's house's stoop

Mr. Sharps' argument:
Dito land sa Philippines discriminated ang garbage collectors. Some other place in the world dehins.

My Argument:
Dito sa Philippines discriminated both. But everywhere in the world SCAVENGERS are pissed on.

Point of Argument:
Akala ni Keen sabi ni Marvin discriminated and garbage collectors everywhere where as all he meant was that SCAVENgERS are the ones not treated too nicely everywhere in the world. NOT garbage collectors goddammit!

Absolution:
d@mn we sure don't meet Mr. Sharpy. Maybe you really should practice your listening skills instead of juz interpreting what ever bit of the news you recieve.

LESSON:
1. Discrimination is bad. I for one try my best not to discriminate anyone for gays get discriminated too. I should know.
2. Eating somebody's $hit causes many eye brows to rise. That is why humans find it hard to accept that scavengers exist.
3. Listen very well before raising an argument because it might actually be pointless.

PS: I DID NOT SAY GARBAGE COLLECTORS GET DISCRIMINATED! I SAID SCAVENGERS DO!

AND NO! HINDI TAMA NA IDISCRIMNATE ANG GARBAGE COLLECTORS.

hope i did not shatter somebody's ego
