in my own humble opinion : ::::: v dont need to `````observe'''' nor `````check'''' ,
let's just ask !! y[[=why]] not !!!!!???? it works !! ......... ask them2declare,
they should declare
they must declare
they MUST declare , their decisions 'r directly + indirectly affecting or effecting the public !!"
1. But, how can you guarantee that they won't be telling lies? If they know that people would think it is problematic if the group is formed by all Christian, and using the Christian doctrine as the rule to judge, it seems that it is of their interest to hide this fact to public (just go to 佛堂 for 1 or 2 times, or just declare that they are 無神論者, etc.).

"If, say 90% of the population is Christians, what is wrong with having a panel with 90% Christians? What would you have felt if 99% of the poplation is atheist and 50% of the panel is Christian for the sake of balance?
What does it mean to have a balance of opinion?
If we must have every religious group in the panel, we will need: all sect of Christians (a couple hundred), Islam (at least 2), Hindu (a few million), Jedian , IPUian...etc"
2. You get a point. As I said, it is something too difficult to observe (not like those information of profession, you can check it up via the database of 工會, and the academic qualification could be check up by looking at certificates). In addition, even if we assume that people don't tell lies, it seems not so practical to figure about religious belief of the whole population. There is a census for every 10 years (and 5 years if by-census are taken into account). If we use the figures of population census to figure out how much people believe in certain religion, could we use the data as a guidence in forming the group of 淫審處? (But it may have the problem that the data maybe out-dated after 1-2 years. After all, people may have their personal religious beliefs changed due to some reasons. Otherwise, how come there is ex-christians, for example?) I don't know if this idea would be practical.....
"Rather, I suggest following the current mechanism of the judical system. Have citizen randomly poll into the panel. Make it illegal for failing to attend with no proper reason. Provided that the sample is large enough (statistically, a dozen or so will be good enough for a million people), it will reflect the public opinions properly.
In order to fix loop holes, there can also be a repeal policy. Cases should be repeal a couple of times even if nothing change to ensure that the sample is representative."
3. But the problem is that: Is the panel really selected RANDOMLY? Or simply by the preference of the authority? If you think that the existing system is good enough, and the group is representative of the HK population, we may come up with a conclusion that we don't want to get: Those ask for 送檢the bible are just minority, and simply a group of disturbance..., and that the 中大學生報is really an unacceptable material... |
