The difference between boys and men

A boy can't help but touch something that he finds fascinating, which is why there is always breakage of glass and other delicate ornaments when my male cousins are about the house. A man, on the other hand, understands what it means to "look, don't touch".

Which breed of males do we have running the country?

Quoted for posterity
"Two Penang reps make an issue of women’s dressing", May 23, 2007
Permatang Berangan assemblyman Shabudin Yahaya and Sungai Dua assemblyman Datuk Jasmin Mohamed blamed women's provocative dressing for sexual crimes, raising the hackles of Tan Cheng Liang (BN – Jawi).

“The women’s dressing menggoda (lures) and mencabar (challenges) men,” said Shabudin, who interjected during Tan’s speech when debating the motion of thanks on the Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Abdul Rahman Abas’s opening address.

Shabudin then interjected that men were sure to look when sexily attired women pass in front of them.

“This is because there is a daya tarikan (attraction),” he said.

Jasmin said that women who dressed provocatively also forgot their family responsibilities.
