Manila Downunder

RAMPANT HYPOCRISY - IMMENSE STUPIDITY

Hello and welcome to another Tanduay fueled moment of truth and reality on Manila Downunder, Australia's most controversial Filipino website. Brought to you by Tanduay, KFC and the fact the asawa is at a Filipino party.
"Oh heck"! Yes I can hear the collective groans from those feeling a little guilty that I may be aiming at them, those who are worried that I may reveal more than is good for them, or perhaps just go the full chunder on everyone.

RELAX- I am not aiming this at anyone. I am just giving a broad 'personal' observation on things that have become seemingly commonplace in the south eastern Sydney Filo community. Attitudes that can be quite amusing, if not significantly sad, from an outsiders point of view.

CREDIBILITY! It is something that most of this little community strive to have, but something that can never really be achieved, when hypocrisy, backstabbing and gossip form the basis of so many friendships, no, not friendships, I don't think such things do exist, not in the true Aussie meaning of friendship, perhaps acquaintances is a better term.
It would seem that the person with the least credibility can be identified easily, they usually being the one who says they have this regularity. You can guarantee following such statement, they will be off to the local Filo shop with gossip, or perhaps hanging out with friends who's morals, not 4 weeks before, were not something their credibility could tolerate.

As someone who now watches from the sidelines, I am often amused, yeah, hmmmm I think amused is the word, by the endless hypocrisy that consumes the local Filo society.
One of the best is those who hate someone, showing an ultra friendly attitude towards them and attending their parties.
This is an extremely common going on and leads you to wonder who really is your friend. I mean, if someone sees really genuinely glad to see you, is this the case, or are they just faking it to later go on and back stab you.
Yes you may laugh, but it is very, VERY common. How well do you know those who make you feel you are friends.

Another particularly good one is the accusing someone of something that isn't true, but in secret, they are doing the exact same thing.
For example, blaming someone of bludging money - when they themselves can't get by and have to make huge loans of friends and family members.

One sec - must obtain another Tanduay!!

OK, OK, now its time for my favourite act of hypocrisy.
People in the community will go around, stab you in the back, gossip about you, spread lies and the like, but then appear horrified that you would have the gaul to stand up to them. Its like the end of the world, that you would take a swipe at their credibility , or lack thereof, at their ego, at their standing.
They truly have such high opinions of themselves,that they just can't comprehend those people, those lesser and inferior people, standing up to them.

GOD - GIVE ME STRENGTH!

I'm sorry, but I am not interested in that bullshit.
Stand up and have some guts! If you don't like someone, don't hide it, have the guts to show it.
If you have a problem with a friend, don't give bullshit excuses, don't go whinging to someone else. BLOODY GO AND TALK TO THE PERSON IN QUESTION!

What sort of wankers do we make ourselves and our fellow community look like with such excessive stupidity and carrying on.
Its time to wake up, treat each other with the respect (or lack of) that each of us deserves and have the GUTS TO ACCEPT THE BULLSHIT YOU HAVE CAUSED and not cry off with lies to others because you have been struck back at.

Thank you for your time.

Coming soon, a fictional story I have written about an assault in Marrickville RSL. Purely fictional, any similarity to persons or actual events will be purely coincidental.

Go on now, run off and enjoy yourself.
The planet doesn't have much time left.
