REVIEW
I'm on course these few days and today is the first day.
Even though it's a relatively short insight into the chemicals industry, it has been very interesting. We learnt the uses of chemicals and how it's being produced.
Then I remembered some big shot ever mentioning during some awareness session that the chemicals companies are always being criticized for damage to environment and the community and emptying the earth's resources (oil) and so on.
The thing is, I wonder if the critics know the kind of materials that are being produced from chemicals, and if they do, then they would realise that it's impossible to do without chemicals in our lives.
Some examples of products that are being produced from chemicals include:
- The foam in the mattress you lie on
- The dashboard in your car
- The nice-smelling shampoo you use on your head
- The panadol you consume when you experience headaches
- The polyester used in fabrics (including swim suits)
- car tyres
- the plastic plate that your children are using
and almost a lot of many other things you find in your home. Basically, anything remotely related to plastics.
If the critics are unhappy about pollution to the environment, then I've nothing to say. Although I want to mention that many chemical companies actually do take a lot of extra care to make sure they minimize such damage. However, if these so-called critics are concerned about using up the earth's resources, then they'd better not be using any of the products that are being produced from chemicals. Which means, they gotta be using:
- wooden utensils
- banana leaves as clothes
- paper cups
- wooden chairs
- stones as toys for their children
- no TV or audio systems at all
and they had better not paint their homes cos paints are made from chemicals as well.
Also, if they're indeed using things made of wood, they should be criticized too, from cutting down too many trees.
I hope someone can provide some insight on what critics do for a living. Do they just criticise and get paid? Does anyone criticise their criticisms? Who gave them the right to criticise anything they don't see eye-to-eye to? I always get a feeling that critics are sad, lonely (and sexless) people so they want to take it out on everyone else. Unless you're a food critic.
Oh by the way, I still gotta work from home every night after the whole-day course in the day. I need some good massages.
Get the hint?

Actually everyone is a critic at some point or another. In fact, to be a professional critic is kinda like getting piad to have fun. I so want to be a food critic.
interesting, so you are a chemical expert?
great! if i have any tariff classification regarding a chemical, i will drop a msg ^_^
the critics should be going NUDIE or be wearing animal skins - dont forget that polyester-blah-blah is also made out of chemical too!
ogre: yeah, i know it's human nature to criticise. it's the professional critics that annoy me.
kaoz, u think u're not fat enough meh?
imnothere: no no! im not a chemicals expert. i happened to work in the chemicals field but im on the commercial side. dun ask me lah; i cant answer one :P
Very interesting fact. I wonder when one day if the resources really depletes then what do all the people do? Anyway, the last I saw you, you're equipped with hands. Who are you hinting to for massages?
Actually I dun mind working as a critic! Just complain and say this one good that one no good can get paid already. Can get free food and freebies some more :D
zhebin: frankly, i dunno leh. but i believe oil's not gonna run out for the next few decades. which means i wont run out of job, i hope.
to ur 2nd question, dun tell u.
sian: I sure punch u if u become a critic.
Cri-tics are simply tics with attitude problems. They think that its the rest of the world with the problem, and will not listen to any contrary views. The only contrary views they tolerated are their own.
Of course, there are tics which are beneficial. Gramma-tic and Arithme-tic are useful. Op-tic helps us see better. Ecsta-tic always comes when you have accomplished something. Rus-tic roams the countryside harmlessly, while At-tic likes to seek the highest place of a house.
:D
Yes, yes. I know. I'm mad. -.-
