This post is not to persuade anyone to either stands. It's just another talk cock post. Just to entertain you people with some crap. Pardon me if I the contents of this post has made you feel awkward in any way.

The Analogy Of The Dam
As Tania's group pointed out, the penting up of emotions towards a co-worker can be said to be like a dam. Eh actually I can't raelly remember their point, but here's my point to counter theirs.

In Geography, we learned that dams can be detrimental to the land surrounding it. There can be benefits, but if not managed carefully, the dam can be a major hazard rather. Let me first tell you the benefits of a dam. We all know it can tap on the potential energy of the lake behind it to generate hydroelectricity bla bla bla. We also know that the dam, as it blocks water, will form a lake behind it, hence allowing for recreation, water trasnsport (for trade) to take place. The former is illustrated in Malaysia's Kenyir Dam, and the latter in China's Three Gorges Dam.
But the dam can be a multi-pronged approach in destroying the environment. The dam cuts of water supply to the areas downstream, affecting population centres, animals, and agricultural activities. The area behind the dam which will be flooded, destroys flour and fauna. As habitats will be destroyed when flooding occurs, effort has to be made to relocate the animals to a safer place. This happened in the Kenyir Dam. After all this effort and money has been put in to create this dam, the local population benefits from the hydroelectricity.

How do we reconcile this with the discussion on office romances? Just like my post '07S07B'S Theory of Plate Tectonics' posted some time ago, I have found some way to crap about the parellels between the analogy and the topic.

Building the dam represents the policies forbidding office romances. Office romances is represented by the river. The river flows from higher land to lower land, symbolising one's flirting/interaction to another. But when the dam is built, the river flow is controlled. The area behind the dam starts to flood, like how emotions are pent up, not allowed to be expressed. There is a lot of potential energy in the newly-formed lake, just like there are so much emotions in one's heart, just waiting to burst out. It is difficult to contain the emotions, as often it is distracting, and well, just difficult to. The area downstream doesn't receive a lot of water. Their whatever activities are hampered due to the lack of water, just like how the other party can be 'deprived' of love. Like so near yet so far. Also, destruction of flora and fauna is widespread, causing a lot of environmental problems. As emotions are kept within oneself, he/she may often do irrational things, leading to counter-productivity. All this is to provide hydroelectricity for 'the greater good', just like how employees have to sacrifice their personal wants for the success of the company.

Therefore, should office romances be banned? Errr... Personally I still don't know. Just took a convenient stand during GP so my group could get the discussion over and done with. Muahaha!!!

So,should the river be allowed to flow, or should the the dam be built to benefit others?

Red Light At Junction
Second thing to crap about. Mark's group used this analogy to explain something which I also forgot. Here's my version.

When the traffic light turns red, drivers come to a halt. The driver at the front of the junction has two choices. Firstly, to abide by the rules to stop his car. Secondly, to just heck care about the rules and just continue driving.

Obviously the first rule does not bring you trouble. The second rule however, can get you in deep faeces. If you continue driving, you may get banged by some car, or you may bang into another car. Assume that traffic flow is heavy. Or the traffic police catches you and issues a fine. Whatever the case, you get GGXX.

Take the traffic light to be the company's policy against office romances. Red light tells you to stop, so you had better stop. But if you wanna be rebellious and take chances, you may just bang someone, or get banged by someone, or get GGXX by the traffic police. If you bang someone or get banged by someone, altough you may enjoy it, it results in your car getting pretty GGXX. So reconsider whether banging is actually a good thing. Then if you get caught by traffic police ie. your employer, you get fined. Then perhaps you also GGXX coz you broke the company's policy.
Whetever the case, just don't continue driving when the traffic light turns red. It's not worth banging or getting banged by someone out of the permitted boundaries, and don't get caught by the traffic police.

Ah.... I love crapping...

Btw I saw Mr MTeo at Thomson Plaza today during lunch. Cool... He was wearing a white mandarin collar shirt with bermudas. Rocko!!!
