I feel MAD when I see this pic. This Christian woman who lives and works in the US, did not make it to the US team, because she was BELOW olympic qualifying time, then jumped to the SL team using wild card, poses semi naked in magazines and has the odacity to wear the Sinhala Osariya. So now the entire world will think Sinhalese gils have no problem posing semi naked in mags. They might think it’s our culture. DISGUSTING. Thuk nodakin!!!

So, are you OK with SL women posing for playbody and wearing full bikinis on the beach?

Looks like most people here are bunch of kalu suddhas with minds completely warped by western christian culture.

Go on Indi – open that can of worms… haha

I am a suddhi in Sri Lanka and see no reason to walk around half-naked because it is hot. Loose skirts and vest tops serve me well. But that’s just me.

HOWEVER, I have no problem with people who wish to do this. It just makes me laugh when they cause traffic accidents and so on….

The Singhalese Buddhist men are the worst for secretly watching soft porn in internet cafes and staring at tourists. Stop having a go at Indi – those who claim Buddhist values should remember that Buddha never told you that you cannot appreciate beauty. Stop being hypocrites and tell it how it is.

If Sinhala Gemunu looked closely he’d realise that the osariya bared as much midriff as a bikini did and that the standard sari jacket clung closely to curves.

This is actually quite entertaining; this page is now pinned on my desktop :D

Sinhala Gamunu is a funny guy. I find it hard to believe that this guy is for real. I am certain that he is just getting a kick out of it. The thread was highly entertaining until the line was crossed when he is super insensitive to other cultures and wishes death upon others. Stop being a fucking dick asshole

So is an army of Olympic officials who run around looking for attractive athletes to give extra condoms to.

I wasn’t going to bother replying to your rant but you’ve hit a few nerves. So here goes:

1. Call me white trash, call me a pervert, call me a whore – I don’t care (it comes part and parcel with my writing job – not every Tom, Dick, Ajith and Gamunu is going to agree with me. That is what makes good and interesting debates – slander, however is a separate issue). The people that know me and respect me will only laugh in your face.

2. Why so much hatred? The fact you feel the need to be so abusive only makes you look defensive and desperate. Not a good look.

3. I apologise for using the term Singhala Buddhists in my comment about internet porn watching, yes they could be Tamil or Muslim. Correct. But that issue is neither here not there. My comment was not about religion at all.

4. I never said “Lord Buddha asked (men) to ”appreciate” the beauty of (women)” – what I actually said was “Buddha never told you that you cannot appreciate beauty” – get your facts straight. You are obviously not a lawyer. If you were I would not hire you.

5. I don’t make fun of your food. I adore it. If you spent more time reading my blog maybe you would realise that.

My last point 6. “I came here to look at tsunami victims”?? This is were you really come into your own and if it wasn’t for that comment I wouldn’t have wasted my time on you. No I didn’t. I was one of them. I have lived here since early 2004 and lost everything in the tsunami but survived. In Hikkaduwa. That day will haunt me until I die. Where were you? Sitting watching it on CNN in your parents apartment in Colombo? What did you do to help??

I didn’t publish your comment on my blog because you are rude and frankly I think would insult my blog readers, not to mention upset my mother. I’m all for free speech but you have gone to far. Some of what I write is tongue in cheek, although I doubt you would be bright enough to recognise sarcasm if it hit you in the face.

Ankie…dont let this guy get to you…he obviously has no clue about the way life works and isnt even worth the effort….he is just a narrow minded pig…with no life obviously otherwise he wouldnt have the time to write shit like this. i doubt whether he even understands what you are saying. it makes my blood boil the aay he swears and belittles european people. having lived all over the world and in different cultures this guy must be the worst i have come across.

@Sinhala Gamunu: if you’re so opposed to western industrialisation, then what on earth are you doing on the Internet? Stop using this “bullshit technology” to further your racist beliefs. Hypocrite!

Hey Ankie,

i see you’re still having a fantastic time in beloved Lanka..;)

Guys, I just entered this conversation and reading it top to bottom it’s simple: you are all good people no matter what color, religion or food. BUT if your name is Sinhala Gamunu you obviously don’t have neither enough sex nor enough brain.

Go back to sleep, you keri kapu rilawa. Nobody on this planet needs you.

All others: thx for the entertainment!

Seb

Sinhala Gamunu,

You are not wrong when you say that the white christian culture has done a lot of harm to the world. But we will not move on productively if we keep getting back to the past and feed our hatred on mistakes that have been made hundreds of years ago. And even less so by attacking fellow human beings. Mentioning that she feels certain men hypocrits looking at adult content in the internet, who’s religion / belief does not allow women to walk the face of this planet dressing the way they like, doesn’t turn Ankie into a slut, now, does it?

We’re living in a changing world and more and more humans are obliged to share that same space – if we don’t start to accept each others believes and differences, we will soon all be killing each other.

With those mindless and rather racist expressions you are spreading on the internet, you are acting as a bad example. See Europe – have you ever been on the metro in Paris or London? You see more than 30 different tones of skin colours in one single carrier. It’s because we are accepting others. At least most of us are – unfortunately Europe isn’t free from violent unreflective people either.

I don’t know much about Buddha – but I’m sure he wouldn’t have accepted the way you are treating and judging another human being.

Try the path of love and acceptance instead of that of criticism and racism!

Dear Sinhala Gamunu, you are a racist, sexist biggot no doubt about it. Oh and lets add “”hypocrite”‘ to your description as well. I am a “‘Buddhist Sinhala” person and absolutely horrified and embarrassed byyour comments. You must be joking?!

Originally I didn’t want to partake in this garbage like banter, but knowing Ankie very well I had to put my 2 cents in because I cannot stand her being slandered on the web by someone who has NO idea who or what she is about nor the extent to which she has helped communities in SL.

Ankie lost EVERYTHING during the tsunami. And while you may jump to the conclusion of Gucci bags and what not being the materialistic person you probably are, how about thinking outside the square and consider what loss actually is about in the face of such adversity? How about losing your spirit and your soul. Or how about losing your innocence to mother nature?

She nearly lost her own life and then a few minutes later was picking up the pieces for others. She was there as it happened while you were probably relaxing hung over in mummy and daddy’s air-conditioned apartment. She could have easily chosen the easy option and gotten the hell out of Lanka to a much more comfortable life and lucrative employment back in Europe but she chose the more difficult option to stay and help communities in the south and the east. And also deal with people who have no idea and have no appreciation such as yourself.

I can personally vouch that this is a woman who puts others in front of her-she is utterly selfless which I believe is a Buddhist attribute no? And can I also vouch, she knows and loves Sri Lankan culture so very much. Heck, the lady loves bitter gourd-whats with that?! Sounds like a gamme kela to me :P

And now, lets talk about you. I dont know who you are but one thing that is glaringly obvious is that you need to go back to Buddhist school and/or perhaps some anger management therapy. Yes Colonial rulers around the world left bitter ramifications for the local people who still face suffering today. No doubt about that. But can you please explain why and how Ankie is directly responsible for that? It seems like you are living in the past and that aint very Buddhist is it?

And why so much anger? Isnt Buddhism about acceptance and tolerance and the belief that all suffering and anger stems from desire and attachment? Is the real reason for your outbursts that you harbour secret desire and attachment to Ankie?!! I can understand, she is pretty cute you know :)

But in all seriousness, why not try letting it go and breath and appreciate that you live in one of the most beautiful countries on the planet-so beautiful that others from around the globe want to live there too and contribute to the diversity and knowledge of the country which holds greater value that you sadly may never realise nor fully appreciate.

You are all mad. This white woman is the perfect example of what WHITE PRIVILEGE is. Google it and c. You think I am crazy, then why is entire Europe on the brink of Bankruptcy????? All of Europe is bankrupt. US is bankrupt too. They have the biggest debt in the world, running to trillions. They will bankrupt in another 50 years. This clearly shows that capitalism, which is created by Christianity is a complete failure. You idiots keep sucking up to White trash and when the bubble bursts and everything comes crashing down then pray to your Christian GOD.

I apologize to this woman for one thin only. For that tsunami thing (I thought she was a tourist). For everything else I stand by my words. Sri Lankans who marry Europeans, which I have no problem with, should stay in Europe. They have no business here. Inter-racial marriages also very bad cos the children of such offspring will be never be better than the better/superior parent. For example, if this White woman’s IQ is 100 and our fellow’s 80. Their child’s IQ will NEVER exceed 100, it will be around 90. Everything else will be bad as well. Inter-racial children will also have huge identify crisis when they get old. These are scientific facts.

Good luck to u all. I am outa here.

oh my goodness…….. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

Sinhala Gamunu presents a good example of why this country is well and truly fucked. Based on the drivel he dishes out here he exemplifies everything that is wrong with people who decide to take it upon themselves to represent what is ”good and chaste” about ‘Sri Lankan- Buddhists’. Claiming to protect a race/religion/philosophy he manages to destroy the very values he is claiming to represent and manages to come off as a true ignoramus.

I’m not sure if I should feel offended at the way he goes on at someone for expressing her views or feel sorry for him… He probably just doesn’t know how stupid he sounds.

Sinhala Gumunu

You make me feel very sad and scared at the same time – the fact that there are actually people like you out there is this world makes me shiver and I’m just a dog.
