Why politics, racism and religion are bad for humankind
Politics, racism and religion are screwing up Malaysia. In fact, they have been screwing up the world since the world began. I doubt I need to write in great length about this issue. Let me instead just produce SOME of the statistics of the death toll. Take note that more people than that have died but then not all are documented. To save the world we may need to shoot all politicians, racists and religionists.
