Formula, too.

Ok maybe not mie goreng exactly, but instant noodles. I figure it's in the same boat.
I've met this guy before. He seemed ok when I met him. His ideas were understandable.

But now this. Way to go Pak Arief. Way to make me lose all faith in you.

clearly the mayor is a really smart guy ! ha ha

The most scary part is these are the so called intellegent leaders. So many it seems when you put a government uniform on them they start sinking to the bottom of the gene pool. When someone stirs it, out they come.

I dunno which is more moronic - seeing a connection between noodles/formula consumption and being gay, or the connection he makes between being gay and being somehow a lesser human being.

What a wondrous world we could live in, if everyone had critical thinking skills.

 

[OomBen]

I get so irritated. I met this guy. We were in a meeting together discussing a project for the people of Tangerang. He had some big ideas and it made sense. But then this filth comes out of his mouth.

Sorry Pak Arief, I disagree with you and believe your own words make you a lesser person because of them. As a resident of Tangerang, you make me sad.

Where did he get the idea? I scoured google and couldn't find at least one quackpot (other than this guy) claiming instant noodles are creating gay babies, which is unusual.

Probably from an Imam at the local Mosque...or maybe a tukang bakso.

Sounds like he can be sued by all instant noodle makers for defamation if this is the case.

Oh too bad, I like Indomie Kari ayam and cabe hijau

What a fucking idiot. And to think that these are the dickheads in charge of running a province, no wonder the country is fucked.

The sad fact is nobody contradicts him, these idiots make weird statements and all the other idiots go with the flow. I've lived here 18 years and it seems to be going backwards, some of these so called leaders have the IQ of a headless chicken

Insane, surely everyone knows that gay babies are only born when the mother has eaten more than 3 Oreo's before 9am on a Thursday. I tried googling though and even this nutcase didn't come up

That sounds like something my husband might have done, but our son is straight. Guess it definitely has to be the mother. (I hate Oreos, so our boy is safe.)

Sad is it not that the sexuality and gender are still issues? Thank you again, religion.

Yes. Part is that some people exploit this. I am fascinated with the diversity of cultures that Indonesia had with different practices of sexuality and expressions of gender. Many get drowned out by major religions.
