We are very happy to know you enjoyed the book. And thank you so much for recommending it to others.

You said it, people can see the difference. Indeed. I'd say people reading your blog must be able to see whose among positive, cynical and counter-cynical :).

And yes, I enjoyed the book. I'd recommended it be on should-buy list.

Hadi,

Thank you, and no, we are not pissed off at all at any comment.
And we are not attacking anybody.
In fact, we are the one being insulted.
We tried to be civil when the commenter called our friend hypocrite. That's fine. As we said, everybody is entitled to own's opinion.

And we responded with courtesy. But then our post is called a sloppy work of

WOW. I read your book and instantly got taken by your writings that i bought a copy. I thought of opening views of genuine mind(s) behind it.

that before i read your comments here. pissed off and attacking visitor?

learning from your words, writing is one thing, being commented (or for a sensitive person, attacked) is another. No any of you a pejabat or pensiunan pejabat

To Andre,

we did receive your comment with a link. Unforunately we cannot visit that link because our office blocks it. (Therefore we cannot display it here.)

Here is a suggestion: if you have anything more to say, why don't you write it in your own blog? After that, if you want our comment, you can email us and we'll drop by.

That way you can be free to

1. She believes what she thinks is right and she is sticking to it, and you call that hypocritical. If you say so. You are entitled to your opinion and we don't have to agree with you.

2. To call all politicians as liars is just as irresponsible as thinking they are all honest.
It's not perfect and it will never be. So get real.
Or better yet: Stay cynical and grumpy

RE:
1. Definition of religion: : a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith.
Definition of hypocrite: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.
Just because a lot of people does the wrong thing, it doesn't make doing the wrong thing right.

Andre,

1. Just because she has her own opinion that is not in agreement with her religion does not make her hypocritical. It means she is honest to herself.

2. Just because she already voted twice before this does not mean this time around she can easily choose. One of us here is almost 60. He too found it difficult to choose.

So when you say "

1. She's clearly against things her own religion holds dear.
2. She has an 11-year old which means she voted at least twice before. She can either a) vote for the same old BS, or b) not vote at all. Indecisiveness is usually traits first-timers possess. Her story sounds like a sloppy work of fiction.
3. Promises from the political parties cannot be accounted for and there's a

Andre,

hypocrisy? Really?
What do you suggest our friend do to be an informed voter?

She couldn't decide and so she tried to inform and educate herself so she can make an informed decision. There is nothing wrong with that.

She looked for information that is important for her and for people like her. There is nothing wrong with that either.

why vote a party full of crooks just because there's ONE righteous person inside??
Assumptions and Conceptual thinking in the world has gone so wrong that you would be surprised to see what kind of crap gullibles actually fall for. The whole story spells nothing but hypocrisy, anyway i see it.

Anong,
Thank you. You're right. We missed a wee bit.
But we hope it did not affect the message intended.

Itu kata beliau. Dan saya setuju. Saya yakin bila hal di atas terjadi pada anak kita, kita akan mati-matian mencegahnya. Kenapa standar yang sama tidak berlaku bagi Lutfiana Ulfa?

Yuda,

You have a very good point there.
We will never know if an elected official would go that path after he got elected.

But of course, using the AA Gym example, the public can 'punish' by not voting for that person again, just like how the public walked away from AA Gym. Now he's not as big celeb as he used to be.

But with election done every 5 years, the

the problem with indonesia campaign is that every body can promise anything, and when he finally got elected, he can get away without bringing anything that he promise. Not even social punishment, cause our people is forgiving people, sigh.

Commenting on polygamy, remember our beloved ust. Aa Gym before he decided taking that path, he also the one who show off family before other thing
