Not to read as over-righteous (if there's even such a word), I am not guilty of any of the items you posted. Thank goodness. Otherwise I wouldn't feel vindicated for thinking that some Filipinos have a tremendous sense of victim complex. It's a moral-political issue in that most Filipinos are still subconsciously hung up from the excesses of the past -- the Marcos regime, martial law, Imelda. In retrospect, the kids of the '70s generation managed to imbibe the obsessive discontent of their old folks. It's just one thing. The other half of the equation is their failure to move on. This is why their present - the daily grind -- is being motivated by the combination of blaming any form of authority and committing various crimes that ignore authority. Regardless of class and role in the community, they are still rebel kids at heart. This is why there is no progress.

To be strict about it...no one alive is excuse from being one. It comes for the price of being a mortal and not a god. Yeah? Honestly I dont buy pants and shirts that are bad knock-offs...although I am pleasantly disgusted to buy a good fake from time to time. Guilty as hell! :-) With free 3W connectivity downloading your fave artists is just one click away....guilty as hell! But come to think of the savings man. $$$(personally of course!! ehem!) guilty as hell! I am no politician and I am no angel either!!! I guess I am guilty of being corrupt in this corruptible body after all. Guilty as hell! :-) That “corrupt” word..the way I thought of it is broad and verbous in its total sense.

Many lost trust and confidence to leaders. Everybody is taking the heat; many find ways to calm down by pointing others. The habit of "pointing" mistakes to others is already fatal to our society. Thanks for mentioning piracy. Many think software piracy is just alright. Too bad. We are overdosed with news about corruption, wrongdoings in the government and private sector.
