For a long time, i had issues with people who are so verbose with their claim to be smart, knowledgeable, and sharp. There are people in my country who use this advantages as a way to promote their self. Should the word self-promotional be use to define them, i think it would be a great injustice. Everywhere you go in any academic hall in my country, you hear people applauding thunderously as a speaker made their speech with vehemence and solid rhetoric. Little did they realize it was just cheap politics. It was a stunt. It was meant to impress but not to propose. It seek to rally emotion but not to muster strength and courage. it oblige to protest but not to provide solution. I had my stint back in University of Indonesia for a semester in the Psychology Department in 2005. I saw how the debate chamber became more and more invigorated as one of the debater gesticulated his torso synchronizing his upper body movement as it rhymes with the tone and inflection of the speech. My oh my, nothing sicks me more to death. I like debate, the jousting of ideas expressed in the most ostentatious terms, mediated by the fairest rule. But not when it is used to promote your own personal interest. Personally, i believe its not the debate that sickens me, its the crowd.
