I have a friend who now lives in Manila. He's part of the Barkada and one of the most intelligent guys among us. I'm not going to put his name here for privacy reasons. Anyway, (magtatagalog nalan ako ha) gusto ko sanag ipagmalaki ang isang to. napaka bright, at napaka bait. First impression ko sa kanya noon was "hilas" or "wala'y ayo" pero mali talaga ako. noon ko pa na realize na mali ako ok... baka isipin nio na ngayon lang kasi tinulungan nia ako...

So eto siya, since the lord didn't give me the gift of knowledge, minsan nagaamit ko naman ang gift nitong kabarkada kong ito. This is one of those instances where I asked for help, and he was there to lend me a hand.

Kibinoy=Me
War_shock6=Him

kibinoy: Bai!!
kibinoy: help...
war_shock6: haha
war_shock6: sige ano man?@_@
kibinoy: kabalo ka kung unsa ng mga social implications ng chuch?
kibinoy: Wala man gud sa net bai...
kibinoy: ang cge rag gawas kay mga social implications ng computer, technology, etc...
war_shock6: hmm teka
war_shock6: what do you mean by social implication?
war_shock6: what exactly?
kibinoy: Ang kanyang effect cguro sa people....
war_shock6: hmm
war_shock6: ganito kasi
war_shock6: diba separate ang church and state?
kibinoy: yup...
war_shock6: the state provides the legislation and ordinances for the people
war_shock6: however, the church serves as a check and balance to the state
war_shock6: sort of like a moral compass
war_shock6: for example
war_shock6: the state would like to pass a legislation legalizing prostitution
war_shock6: of course the church would go against that
war_shock6: and, by influencing the people to go against it, it serves as a check and balance to the state
war_shock6: so that the state doesn't have too much power and doesn't abuse it
war_shock6: and at the same time, the legislations being passed are morally and ethically correct
kibinoy: ahh....
kibinoy: hahah!!!
war_shock6: hahaha
kibinoy: salamat bai.... ur a genius....
kibinoy: So thats basically it?
war_shock6: pero teka
kibinoy: ok...
war_shock6: it's not just the state ha
war_shock6: it also serves as a moral standard for other things
war_shock6: like the church has the power to complain against the entertainment business
war_shock6: when the entertainment business produces films/commercials/shows that, in the church's view, are morally decadent.
war_shock6: the church basically serves as an upholder of moral decadence in society, making sure that industrialization and advancement in technology will not affect the moral character of the country's people
war_shock6: yun
kibinoy: Ah ok...
kibinoy: hahah!!!
kibinoy: Salamat bai...
war_shock6: npnp
