Response to Hanafee's Political Findings

first of all. i'm impressed with Hanafee’s blog post on the topic of How our leaders mock free speech .

you're right. instead of seeing the difference we people share, why can't we see the common visions we share?

instead of debates, why can't we start a whole new thing we call, "Anti-debate".

imagine if schools start organizing this totally other way round debates. you fight for the OPPOSITION/ your OPPONENT, with rock solid points, and your opponents the other way round, fighting for your stand. and see who won the battle.

see what i see? do not disclose the hidden agenda behind the education value of that debate, which is to surprise them at the end of the day by asking them to reflect upon themselves, "had you just fought for your opponents? had you not proven that they are as sound as you are or even much better than you are?"

regardless of who you are, had you been seriously considering the goods of your opponent instead of magnifying their bads.

can the future be better if everybody tries to make a tiny difference by seeing others they never would have seen good as GOOD?

think about it.

imagine if somebody is able to level the "playfield" of these opposing parties. the ex-PM perhaps, or somebody wiser and yet has no political interest in any ways, widely recognized for his or her impartialness. Perhaps a higher judge?

"let us all have a fair fight. let's see if you can win this real life debate."

"you can only win this deal/ bid by convincing us that you see ALL the POSITIVES and that you had checked the limitations and CORRECT them. afterall a REAL LEADER is a leader who can make believe amazing possibilities and he or she will not be able to do so without the forevision of seeing the GOODs HAPPENING in the EYE."

to the opponents, "imagine you are one of the government party leaders. what are your strengths and how would you plan for a better national development by using them?"

so to the government party, you expect the opposite.

"for every negative point you highlight, your 1 mark credibility will be deducted, whereas for every positive point you highlight, you'll get 2 marks added to your credibility."

"let us not take our own party into the debate. for every point we touched on our own party, 3 marks of credibility deducted!"

"let us not take this as a game, but a real deal. if you win the debate, you win the parliament and we grant you the bid!"

"stop the fXXking rage by starting with 'crap! nonsense, this is totally impossible and i think it's ridiculous because the government/ the opposition has got NOTHING worth to be CREDITED for!’..."

"if you go about that way, you lose the bid, effectively and immediately!" to be ruled by high court!

and we imagine the whole debate session running through and done.

here comes the result, announcing, "the (government/ opposition) wins!"

everybody cheered and some, the losers might be pissed.

here comes the highest judge, "hadn't we just found some common grounds we can work together? so you win, but had you seen something you had never given yourself a chance to see?"

let the crowds reflect upon themselves.

i'm pretty optimistic that the government party and the opposition will shake hands and laugh together after.

if you think it's too hard or almost impossible to have them do so..

i have a suggestion.

assemble the youth debate talents and assign them their roles of either side of the parties. let them study into the party first for perhaps 1 week.

then on the exact date of the debate itself, INSTRUCT the above rules of the game by a TWIST of CHALLENGE!

document the whole thing. then show them to the public if it impresses them.

alternatively, assemble youth talents who are able to stage dramas. present the sketch above and document them. but then i believe the effect and impact wouldn't be as strong cause it's STAGED and PLOTTED. NOT REAL.

what do you think about it.

just my vision, hopefully it inspires.. thanks and great to read your blog post!

=P i'm glad i know you sabrina, and your guy, hanafee.
