When ties are stretched by borders

We were feeling in a particularly argumentative mood last night, and while discussing the fall of another friend to the whims of another Singaporean (no, it's not Tish quite yet), I put forth the theory that Singaporean women are all part of a massive covert operation bent on the ultimate control of Malaysia, which they will achieve by mating with Malaysian men and thereby ruling the whole damn country.

Weng countered by saying that the 2 million or so Malaysian men that may possibly succumb to the siren-like charms of the women across the causeway are actually part of an even bigger movement to annihilate the island republic by joining with their women and then refusing to have babies, thus allowing the country to wallow in the mire of supporting their aging population, whom, I might add were originally Malaysians anyway, and eventually expire. He also went on to claim that those 2.5million sacrificial lambs will be honored in the annals of Malaysian history as martyrs bearing the slogan "prevention is better than cure".

The conversation wasn't that intricately phrased, we were dodging traffic on the way back from the supermarket last night laden with a week's worth of food, so most of it went "Oh yea?! Shaddup, you suck" and "Whatever..." while our frozen synapses struggled to come up with a witty rebuttal before shutting down again, but that was the gist of it.
