People who live thousands of miles away pretend to know better than those who live and struggle here daily. See the link given below; http://www.lankaweb.com/news/items/2011/06/18/let%E2%80%99s-applaud-this-tremendous-task-without-hypocritical-mind/ Whom are they trying to pleased ( FOOLed) so much?

It is ridiculous decision to put a temporary ban on exporting live stocks from Australia to Indonesia after ABC’s airing of the film made at one of the Indonesian abattoirs. Being a live stock exporting country to many Asian and middle eastern countries for so long that Australia cannot be ignorant of the fact that those animals that are being exported not as Pets but destined to only slaughter houses in those countries. There is no humane way of taking life of an animal. Simply it is killing. A country which has relaxed euthanasia rules must know that those animal unlike humans who flock there to end their lives have no choice either to continue living or die. If someone thinks yes they have then open the pens and see how they would run for their life. 

Knowing that you are a distant relative of one of the greatest teachers ever to tread on this world is an exhilarating experience. Finding your true lineage, for some is another life-line and they are willing to go any distance searching this kind of life-lines to prolong the inevitable. It is neither cheap. Recently I found out that I too is distantly related to one of the Greatest Teachers ever to tread on this World. It was an accidental discovery. But for me, it did not cost a fortune because I know one “Jack-Ass” who is quite capable of this kind of works. When the world history is blatantly re-written to please a few, the so-called guardians of the land and History professors are so conspicuously silent. If the guardians decided to take a stand against it, then they will be called something else (identified only by the distinctive colour of their attire and with the word “Rogue” in front) but as long as they are ready and willing to maintain silence, then they will...

If political forums are the ideal places to gauge the mood and the thinking patterns of any nation, then Lankaweb forum is an ideal micro specimen of the way many of the Sri Lankans think. Every time when something new appears, there are many rejoinders but most of them are not even remotely related to the subject matter of the original articles. Instead of countering or supporting an arguments many jump on to the foray like lice and tried to show off their whipping and divertive skills and inadvertently expose their own inadequateness and nakedness to the whole world. And if you have nothing to say about the subject matter, it is better to maintain silence then say something most inappropriate and exposes one’s shallowness. A fool is a Wiseman until he opens his mouth.

University Students To Army Boot Camps. Posted on May 6th, 2011 Sasanka De Silva, Pannipitiya, The government’s decision to send students who are eligible for university admission in 2011 to Army camps to expose them to leadership techniques, English language and IT training is a flawed decision. Thanks to our old fashion paper-marking systems, first students have to wait for months to get the examination results, followed by a couple of more moths for the re-correction process to end and finally the University admissions results. The students lose almost a year due to the process and unfortunately not many of them avail this free time for any useful activity. Therefore, if the government is so keen on turning the trend for good use then, putting children through a well coordinated National Service Duty programmed after their Advanced Level Examination is not a bad idea. National Service Duty does not mean sending children to boot-camps. Instead, they can be trained a...

Immediately after celebrating the most auspicious days in the Buddhist calendar, the Bars, Taverns, Meat &  Betting shops are in full swing again. Not to mentioned the other vises too. Who patronizes those joints and indulge in other vises too are mostly are the so-called Sinhala Buddhists in Sri Lanka. I think they are happy to live a hypocritical life, blaming others for all their failings. No responsibility, no accountability. The Enlightened one has told that fools look at the tip of the finger when being shown the Moon. The amount of money is wasted on Wesak celebrations is sacrilegious. The modern day investment in the Material or Hospitality offerings (amisa-puja) is thousand folds higher than the Practice offerings (patipatti-puja). If the masses can be educated to curtailed the investments in Amisa-puja and spend that time, effort and investment on something much more useful like sending at least one needy child to school, college and beyond, the dividend of such in...

Internet Services Provider s, from time to time lure new customers to their nets by promising cheaper and faster connections. I have no qualm of such schemes. However, I believe that they should pay more attention and care to their existing customers than to their prospective ones. A person gasping for his last breath on his death bed is not a pretty sight to watch and unfortunately I have seen a couple of them.   Looking at the twinkling lights of my ADSL router reminds me of them again. The promise of ADSL was luring enough to subscribe to but now I think it would have been much better off with my previous Dial-up connection, given the exorbitant amount they charge for an extremely poor service. Sometimes I wonder what the regulating authorities are doing. My experience is not an isolated one and I am confident that many would greatly appreciate if the concerned governing authority would look into such allegations and take corrective measures soon. Please charge us for the ser...
