Man nobody called me that before "seppo", can understand the frustration, they don't like it here anybody catchin a boat i guess. Damn this boat racism. Anyway take care and don't turn bahai, they keep a lookout for your kind
Exactly.. You'll get the gist of it.. Still a freshie.. and mate.. Speak English cant be bothered to translate.. My boat is licensed so no worries.. Try not to over do the 40 hours per week you're allowed, Might get kicked out
These kind of incidents are not exactly unheard of and happens all around the world.
Here's one for @Gibbs
British tourist recounts 'hellish' experience in Sri Lanka over Buddha tattoo - Australia Network News - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
History of 'disrespect'
A majority Buddhist nation, Sri Lanka is highly sensitive to perceived insults to the religion.
Sri Lanka barred another British tourist from entering the island in March last year for showing "disrespect" to Buddhism by having a Buddha tattooed on his arm.
In August 2012, three French tourists were sentenced to six months in jail, which was suspended for five years, for kissing a Buddha statue in what the authorities considered a sign of disrespect.
Sri Lanka prevented US rap star Akon from visiting in 2010 over one of his music videos which featured scantily clad women dancing in front of a Buddha statue.
It was not immediately clear to which country the detained British woman would be deported or when she would be put on a flight.
There are brain dead extremist idiots everywhere.. Like i said this bloke should have done his home work before going in to third world countries were rationality and common sense is often over shadowed by over sensitive, superstitions.. Does'nt matter if it's Lanka, India or Pakistan.. He is clearly at fault as well though it does not justify the violence
Now i'm not a religious person but if people are secure about their faith i don't see why they need to react harshly to a trivial issue like body art
My crux of the matter is some dumb wanker going on a rant accusing a whole country as racists and bigoted views on it's heritage and history.. So my reply was directly in contention to that
Like i mentioned before.. People with worse record on discrimination should not point fingers at others, especially gross generalizing stating that the whole world knows Australia and the US is most racist
