Why The LTTE Sucks At Their Job

Real terror. Today’s Pakistan Marriot bombing. New York Times


Terrorism can be pretty awesome (as in possessing some awe). I mean, 9/11 made the US freak the fuck out for eight years without either a) capturing Bin Laden or b) rebuilding the towers. It obviously has its power. The LTTE used to do some bad-assed skeletor style destruction – slaughtering monks in temples, blowing up the Central Bank, exploding windows at Ladies College. Now they don’t. I only noticed cause I got the news alert about the Islamabad bombing (oh my fucking god) and thought it was for Sri Lanka. Said the death toll was over 40 and I thought, wow, this is serious. But it’s not Sri Lanka, and the LTTE doesn’t get death tolls like that anymore. I mean, if you’re going to be terrorists, you might try to not suck at it. Or maybe they should’ve grown up and negotiated.

and just for balance, Mahinda sucks and Gotabaya would totally deport the Tamils if he could. Being stuck between a terrorist and a tyrant makes the proverbial rock seem cosy.

U seem to be a sucker for good, kick-ass terrorist acts. Please! I used to think you were a sensitive fellow. Don’t hold or spread such jarring views.

The Tamils are lovely people. At least the ones I know. It’s bad governance and mismanagement that drove them to extremism. If they aren’t at it any more, or if they they have stopped being as vicious, it’s because they are fed up of violence and slowly becoming more accepting.

You should be happy. Now, there are fewer people to demand a fair share of the loot and the bounty.

Or is it that you’re unhappy. This writing could be the frustration of the break up venting out through a different route. But I know that at heart you are a kind man. Show it too.

Miss Travel. Alternately, Mistravel

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like seekingarrangement.com connects women to ‘sugar daddies’ already. I guess Miss Travel is just taking that trend international. Wait, I checked, it’s the same guy doing both.

Buying Appliances Online (Singer)

Sri Lankan domestics never say anything, they just stop coming. My maid just stopped coming and when I finally pressed her she said I needed to get a washing machine. I was hoping to ride this one out, but I’ve run out of underwear and I have no choice. I finally caved and bought a washing machine, from Singer, ONLINE. I put the online in all caps because it’s pretty awesome. I ordered the thing in like 15 minutes on Saturday and they just delivered it today. It’s pretty awesome, this brave new world.

Future Porn

There’s nothing wrong with pornography, but there’s a lot wrong with porn. Nothing wrong with watching people have sex, but too often that sex is brutal, senseless and coerced. I mean how many couples are coming on each others faces every day? Hence, philosopher king Alain de Botton – after calling for a new atheism, replete with temple – is now calling for a new pornography. One which is “fit for thoughtful, good human beings”. Good idea.

Sri Lanka To Offer Dual Citizenship Again

Sri Lanka is going to start offer dual citizenship again, for people of Sri Lanka descent (ie, those who migrated or their kids). Which is good. Still not an actual immigration policy, but getting, well getting back to the status quo. I got dual citizenship years ago.
