Posted by: Nizar on: March 8, 2009

Here is a quick, easy and fun lesson which will help the couple of smartasses out there to differentiate and distinguish between what is a civilized behavior and what isn’t, let’s start, shall we?

Definition of Civilized:

1. Having a highly developed society and culture.

2. Showing evidence of moral and intellectual advancement; humane, ethical, and reasonable: terrorist acts that shocked the civilized world.

3. Marked by refinement in taste and manners; cultured; polished.

Examples of civilized behavior:

Definition of uncivilized:

1. (of a tribe or people) not yet civilized

2. lacking culture or sophistication

Examples of uncivilized behavior:

Now let’s have a quick quiz for you and test your understanding so far:

Be a good boy and tell me, is this behavior civilized or uncivilized?

eh, why no civilised and uncivilised scene in malaysia?

be fair, civilians can be uncivilised. polis can also be uncivilised. ;=)

hehe…

Very true indeed, hooligans and angry protestors show nothing but signs of an uncivilized population to an actually civilized country. What a shame..

1. (of a tribe or people) not yet civilized

This is the most insulting and stupid thing i heard, shame on you.

Hamade:
What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you offended? I haven’t called you or your people uncivilized.

I am pointing at the protest that took place in Malmo last Saturday were some of the protesters attacked the police vehicles.

Unfortunately some people like Sam try to make such behaviors seem civilized by justifying them, claiming that they are democratic and its their human right and they are heroes.

So I made this quick post to help him and others like him differentiate between what is a civilized behavior and what isn’t.

The definitions are not mine, they are quoted from thefreedictionary.com:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/civilized
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/uncivilized

I was not saying nor implying that you or people like you are uncivilized, I was pointing at the behavior of some protesters from Saturdays event, that’s it, I hope that there are no misunderstandings left.

Hamede: Chill out…he wasn’t insulting you. Some people need to look past themselves and look at your posts in a bigger picture – as they are intended. I doubt very highly that Nizar made that blog post to insult you in particular.

Can I have a free lollipop?? :D

Odd:
lollipop on the way ^^
