I came across a humorous article about the R.H. Bill the other day and I just couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The article in itself was quite funny because it was a satire. The topic is mostly a sarcastic conspiracy article about the Reproductive Health Bill. But that wasn’t why I found the article funny. What makes the article funny, and somewhat disappointing, is the comments posted by people.
If you read the comments of the people, you will notice that most of the people are reacting more on each other than the actual article. In the end it was almost pointless to read about the article because I was actually more interested I reading about the comments posted by people. They actually ended up calling each other idiots because some of them didn’t get the humor of the article. It’s actually a bit sad when you think about it. The website was meant for “Filipino free thinkers” but looking at the comments, all I’m seeing is a bunch of people insulting each and calling each other idiots. Just to show you how ridiculous it was, here are some of the comments posted by people:
SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE? You think this article is for real? Yung mga akalang totoo ito at cinicriticize yung author, baka gusto niyong basahin ulit yung article para magets niyo yung message. Sakit sa ulo din yung ibang Pro-RH who obviously didn't understand that the author sides with them.
PEOPLE, hold your horses. We need not be hostile with one another. Let's put it this way, some people are not equipped to recognize sarcasm. Let us mourn their loss for not being able to fully appreciate this wonderful piece of writing.
Lots of moron out here who doesn't have any sense of humor.
Amazing. The comments here can make a good study for english comprehension for Pinoys no? Grabe. Parang marami talagang di nakaintindi. Its very basic. I don't how you cannot get the humor.
I was already laughing at the ocean floor not having people ... LOL Joke yun! JOKE. LOL I wonder if this was written in Filipino if Pinoys will get it already.. baka hindi pa din no?
This is so SAD. Really, really SAD. No more to RH bill .. Give all the budget to the Department of Education!
It's called sarcasm, everyone. It's actually funny and entertaining when you actually understand it.
The way I see it, it’s sort of sad how free thinking websites are wasted on such trivial and petty arguments. Websites like these are supposed to improve intellectual arguments. Instead, all it’s doing is inviting people to insult each other just because they disagree with something. Have we actually been reduced to insulting each other when we disagree on something? No wonder we can’t come to a conclusion on the R.H. Bill. It’s because we’re more focused on insulting one another than focusing on the actual argument. I sure miss those times when you can have an intellectual argument without someone calling you an idiot when they disagree with you.
