Anonymity gives people to say complete bullshit without actually having to face the real consequences of that.  To every person trying to “expose” something, there are ten other assholes shouting out complete bullshit. Be it anti-government propaganda or Tweets about your recent hard-on people are just taking liberties out of a convenience little fact that, you can be anonymous on the web, relatively that is.

Relatively you ask? Why of course. When it comes down to it you can be tracked down fairly quickly if some one’s willing to spend a little bit of time and money. Even easier if you live in a country like Sri Lanka and you blog/tweet anonymously, all there is to it is paying attention.

It’s even easier for the government. You only need cooperation from Google and maybe Facebook.  It’s super easy if you are the US government. You can basically order a cooperation to disclose someone’s IP. Come to think of it goggle is probably monitoring stuff like, searches for “how to make a bomb” and “Death to Obama” (To all the bots who  visit this site because of those two terms, let me give a huge FUCK YOU)

Why do we need to get rid of anonymity, because we need to censor the web? Not really people will say what they have to say anyways if they care enough about them. But it will create a chain of accountability and people will start taking what’s on the web seriously.

The web should be censored.  (Yes you heard that right). But not the way your grandpa wants it. The web should be censored to the same extent of the TV. Let me explain. Today’s TV is divided into different channels, which broadcasts a certain view of things. For example Siarasa in Sri Lanka and Fox in US give out content in an anti-government platform, whereas channels like Rupavahini and MSNBC gives out pro-government information. People are free to choose what they want to believe and watch, and all other conflicting information is removed from those outlets.

The web should be similar. There should be a pro-government Google. When you search for something in a pro-government “web” instead of getting a whole shit of bullshit from places Ground views people will be taken to more appropriate places. If you want anti government related information you will switch to the anti-government web channel.  The same applies to porn, songs and ChuckNoris jokes. Appoint a board of directors for each “web channel” and let them monitor the content.

Now before you start shouting it’s already discovered and its call the “web page” let me point out that it is not the case. No one directly goes to a web page anymore. People visit web sites directly through Google, or another link. So for different web channels there will be different Googles.  (Is that even a word??) And a person will be able to switch channels if they want. But inside a channel all the information will be in regard to one topic.

And it will create a world we can all believe in instead of fighting each other. Shouldn’t that be fun, because in the end it’s all about perception? If everyone believes what everyone wants to believe, everyone will be happy.

And wouldn’t it be cool to go back to the age of Bonsai Kittens again?

Bomb Explosion from two years ago

Wait… didn’t we just had a presidential election. He could have explained this back then right. It would have stopped Gonseka being the butt of all “pay hike” jokes. So the logical conclusion is that he has discovered this during the last month. So what exactly happened to Ranil that made him suddenly see all the solutions to our problems in just 31 days.

Now the first thought that goes through my head is WHAT?? In Only TWO weeks? It’s like those ads you see on TV, you know promising to reduce your weight in xxx days or your money back.

It gets even better. Ranil apparently has a whole bag full of sarcasm and satire up his ass.

“Those days a few bombs explode on the roads. Today there are no exploding bombs on roads. The bomb explodes when you go home, when you find that you cannot buy the essentials..”

SERIOUSLY?? Now he’s comparing terrorist attacks to the COL? I guess he doesn’t get it. He didn’t have to take the bus everyday and keep his figures crossed that there won’t be a bomb. He didn’t have to keep looking at people in a bus and try to judge a person was a Suicide bomber or not.

The REAL funny bit is this

“The masses should elect a government which shows its gratitude to the people. So the voters should vote in a UNF government which knows how to repay the gratitude to the masses”

HaHa. This is the joke of the month. If people wanted to show their gratitude they will vote UPFA, oh wait… They already did that. Btw. Thanks a lot for repaying the gratitude in 2002/2003 when u almost gave the country away for terrorists.

All in all that little speech right there encapsulate the entire plight of the UNP and the UNP mentality. He was apparently saying all these to UNP party reps. (Not even a public rally) I can just imagine what’s going on in their heads when they hear this kind of bullshit.

“Laws change, depending on who’s making them, but justice is justice”

- Odo (Star Trek Deep space Nine)

Mahinda is the undisputed unconquered democratically elected KING of Sri Lanka for the next 6-8 years (and beyond if he’s really really clever). His legitimacy is unquestionable now. Mahinda is given a mandate from the Sinhala Buddhist people of this country to lead the nation in the next decade to come.

Sinhala People’s Collective memory span is longer than two Weeks

As surprising as it sounds, this seems to be the case. Given how the Sinhala people have behaved in the past it is refreshing to see Mahinda Win majority Sinhala electorates 60%+.  What he won he won big (by around 15000-40000 in average electorates of around 40000-80000 voters).

10000 Rupees? FUCK YOU BITCH!!

Yes the 10000 rupee increment ruse has not worked with the government servants at all. They all voted 60-70% toward the government who basically promised them shit. Thank god for SWRD’s Swabasha act, now we have government servants who are majority Sinhalese and who will not behave the way Colombo 7 elites want them to.

There Are More Important Things than Money

Surprising as it sounds apparently this is the general summed up message coming from the polls. No one can argue that a UNP government is better for the economy. The UNP is backed by the economic class of Sri Lanka and has powerful contacts outside who would have invested heavily without a single comment about “Human Rights”.

But it seems that Sinhala people has finally got it in to their heads that selling the soul to the same people who came to Sri Lanka and committed genocide 2-3 centuries ago is not a good idea. (We’d rather sell it to China..lol)

Colombo’s Virtual Reality

It takes times like these for the rich fat bastards in Colombo to realize that Sri Lanka is not Colombo. No matter how much they pretend that it’s all about Colombo in the end when it comes to democracy, the power of the people wins. And the people do not live in Colombo.

Democratic Corruption

A large majority of the people in Sri Lanka supports Corruption. The entire UNJVP campaign was based on “Mahinda Rajapakshe’s Corruption”.  (Never mind the fact that while UNJVP shouted corruption from Colombo what people saw was real development after decades of negligence).  So much so that it was taken as a “fact” and no one was able to produce proof.

However by the transitive properties of corrupt logic it can be successfully argued that since it is a fact that MR is corrupt and MR is democratically elected the majority of the Sri Lankan people support Corruption. So whenever someone accuse you of being corrupt just say “The country supports corruption 58% – 40%.

This story on the Washington Post is exactly that; titled “In Sri Lankan politics, not even an opposition astrologer is safe” made me go…

“Opposition” Astrologers? Really??

I don’t buy in to the whole “horoscope” bullshit, but how can be there “opposition” astrologers?

(n) astrologer, astrologist (someone who predicts the future by the positions of the planets and sun and Moon)

(Wordnet 3.0 – Princeton)

Just wonder who recent phenomenon this “opposition astrologers” is. Reminds me of what happened with the astrologers with Tamerlane’s court.

This is great news in fact. Instead of the elite group of astrologers who predicts to politicians of all parties now we have openly pro and anti govt. astrologers. I guess being an astrologer in Sri Lankan politics sucks, especially when both parties come to you for their daily “predictions”. So now it seems they have done the sensible thing and picked a side. (But now they run the risk of being 100% wrong instead of being 50% wrong in an election).

According to the Washington Post this astrologer, Chandrasiri Bandara writes for an “opposition news paper”. So his prediction about the president being “killed” is solely to gain political advantage by being a cheap media whore. I’m sure being the first guy to predict the death of the President after Prabahkaran must be a real kick.

Don’t get me wrong. I think the govt. completely mishandled the entire affair. They should have laughed it off and if they were in a really good mood should have put their own astrologers forward predicting the death of Mr. Bandara leading to a “heavenly” war. Hehe. (Maybe they did. I really didn’t pay any attention to this story when it broke out.)

Mr. Bandara seems to be a modern day astrologer. He has his own web site, and even a facebook page. (If only he can start twittering) I’m sure the recent arrest didn’t affect his hit count either. According to Mr. Bandara there’s a “there is a chance of someone in the government killing me until 2012”. How convenient. But I’m sure it’s a bit off on the prediction scale. It should be 2018 (or 2016 if we go to Presidential polls next year)

This bugger seems to be your typical UNP media whore. Crying about the celebrations which erupted when the LTTE were defeated and being “concerned” about the terrorists and their supporting families in welfare camps.

Besides the Washington post article is seriously outdated. I had to Google to remember what happened; and since Daily Mirror doesn’t say anything about his apparently recent prediction about 2012 I’m sure it’s not a recent event.

Or the Washington post seriously misunderstood the prediction about being killed in 2012. I’m sure the entire Sri Lankan media has too.

“extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”.

Seriously????… What has Obama done to deserve that?? The Iraq war is still ongoing. The US is going to invade Afghanistan for the second time in less than 10 years, the healthcare bill is in really “bad health” and he’s just lost the Olympics to Rio.

Come to think about it Five politically appointed Norwegians are never going to be objective. But why on earth pick a choice that screems stupidity.

“Extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” means bullshit. Other than Bill Clinton flying to North Korea and getting some crazy jurno released the world is at the same place Bush left it. I think Fcebook has done more than Obama to increase “diplomacy and Cooperation between people”. Someone should nominate Mark Zunkenburg to the prize.

Luckily though, I missed it. Did a bit of shopping and got caught up at the Nugegoda Traffic, (which seems to be heavier now that the flyover has being built). There were people driving like crazy (Crazier than usual) at around 7.45 – 8 which I think was to get home to watch the big moment.

So I came home to find out about the history making moment only to hear my sister say it’s about some trains and people travelling in trains. I mean SERIOUSLY? This is worst marketing ever. Have they ever heard about the “boy who cried WOLF!!)

Come to think about it this would have being a great April fool’s joke. And sure made history alright, as the most pointless attempt at making people watch a TV advertisement and 5 mins of Sri Lankan lives that they won’t get back.

On the other hand I figured out how the government’s going to lose this big popularity that they have rightly earned. If they keep acting like this the UNP will look like the better of the two clowns.

On other news I started jogging this morning, was surprised to find out that people are out and about @ 5.45AM.

Interestingly i’m featured “art” and “medicine”…Stuff that i’m completely ignorant about..lol

My Personas foot print

All hail the SL Heroes

No 52%
Yes 48%

But some how in less than 10 hours the poll is closed and the results stand at

Yes 80%
No 20%

WOW… Congratulations CNN… Thanks for all your hard work.. and so much for freedom of speech too.. The poll was canceled because people started objecting to the poll in the comments section with over 3000 comments.

According to CNN they can’t cope with the volume of comments…yeah right…This is CNN right…it’s not like they don’t have the resources to “cope” with it..

I guess when the Sri Lankans started voting in large numbers they had to close it down. There was a huge email campaign and a Facebook campaign to vote NO..
