99call Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 It's terrible that whether it be natural catastrophe, terrorism or whatever........we all seem to be a little less plugged into when tragedy when it hits developing nations. With the figure approaching 300, sparing a thought to the wonderful people of Sri Lanka. Every Sri Lankan I've ever met, in work, socially, or on my travels have been the kindest, most generous and welcoming people you could hope to meet. Wishing the people and the country a speedy recovery 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 My brother-in-law is Sri Lankan so this is all a little 'close to home' for me. He'll probably abandon plans to visit his elderly folks over there this year. This is all a bit raw for me right now because I'm betwixt with anger and the timeliness of Easter..."Love your neighbour as yourself". If you're Jewish and your neighbour is Palestinian, for example, that maxim takes on a whole new meaning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly there are a great many people out there with cruel intention, and whether they use business, religion or whatever to justify their actions, the truth is much simpler, they are just weak, stupid, horrible people. It takes much more skill, and talent to create, then it does to destroy, and their actions only go to illustrate that they are without worth or importance. Best wishes to you and your family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrightonCorgi Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 "Thoughts with Sri Lanka" What kind of thoughts beyond disgust and anger can one have? This is just horrible beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonk Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Absolutely disgusting. What some people do in the name of religion or politics never ceases to amaze me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
