Paranoid and Ignorant
The notoriously flamboyant Philip Green brought a lot of controversy to our little island nation over the course of the past few days. I was having a discussion with my friend "The Slimy Bastard" whom I have mentioned several times on this blog, and since the discussion got a bit interesting, I thought I'd post it here. Of course, what we 'think' may drastically differ from the norm, for obvious reasons, but hey... freedom of expression right? (Note: conversation heavily edited for profanity, clarity and punctuation; also names have been altered to preserve a much desired sense of anonymity)
F1X says:
Did you read about the English billionaire nut controversy?
The Slimy Bastard says:
Hehe yeah.
F1X says:
The articles read something to the effect of "Maldivian staff posted at the resorts were traumatized after witnessing drunken topless people"
F1X says:
Sheesh… overly dramatic huh?
The Slimy Bastard says:
I enjoyed the comments in the Haveeru article.
F1X says:
There are good ones? Not just the usual paranoid religious rant?
The Slimy Bastard says:
There aren’t any good comments there, that’s why I enjoyed ‘em...
The Slimy Bastard says:
…and the article itself is pathetic!
F1X says:
Seriously man, how well researched are these people? The statue was of Lord Buddha... and Buddhism doesn't even consider itself to be a religion, it’s a philosophy, a way of life. There isn't any worship involved but still these idiots behave as if by unwittingly allowing this, we have committed to apostasy.
F1X says:
See the first line here.
F1X says:
You don't have to dwell deeper into it. The first introductory paragraph sums it all up.
The Slimy Bastard says:
I know Buddhism isn’t a religion per se. Our 'reporters' aren’t aware of it and our public sleeps during day and night.
The Slimy Bastard says:
Lord Buddha himself said not to worship him.
F1X says:
Dude, I think you should comment with that on Haveeru. My Divehi sucks, so you go for it.
The Slimy Bastard says:
It’s useless to comment there.
F1X says:
He said not to worship him, and they don't. They adorn their temples with images and statues of Buddha as a sign of reverence.
F1X says:
Not an icon of worship.
The Slimy Bastard says:
Now you know why I had this footnote in my last post?
The Slimy Bastard says:
Religiously sensitive people with clouded judgments will take offense from it without even contemplating my reference, ultimately proceeding to dub me a blasphemer.
F1X says:
Hehe. Yeah. I guess you were being cautious. Didn’t want some ignorant buffoon to call you a 'fucking infidel' over a concept you merely explored.
F1X says:
The problem with the religious types is that they take everything too damn personal. if guy A practices 'shit worship' and guy B practices the true religion, its no business of guy B. Won't God (Allah, Domo, Gott, Dieu or whatever) deal with infidels and hypocrites on the day of reckoning? So why should we interfere?
The Slimy Bastard says:
Our hesitation to be a little 'liberal' is the reason why we don’t have HD and why our condition of life remains the same.
F1X says:
Main hindrance to progress, development and ultimately civilization eh?
