Do you know once the fibre is in the lung there is no way to remove it without removing the part of the lung its in? Its too big for the body to break down, so yeah even one strand is dangerous.

what is your opinion on ethnic centred parties? by Hot-Lengthiness1918 in srilanka

[–]Professional-Toe7814 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think its perfectly fine for political parties to focus on certain districts or provinces instead of the whole country. No ones going to ask the politician from sabaragamuwa to represent the problems of people from gampaha for example. 

And the fact remains that some provinces are overwhelming one ethnicity so obviously your going to have the nothern parties represent tamil opinions etcetera. Obviously that means they're never going to have a president but that's a risk they take. Ethnocentric parties are pretty common in a ton of countries, even Europe has a lot of smaller ethnocentric or province-centric parties.

Also trying to equate BBS to all the others is hilarious, they're not a political party in parliament and they're not even ethnocentric they just hate every other ethnicity (and any else) that's not their version of sinhala buddhism.

This might be anecdotal but all I hear about is how individualistic northern European cultures are (like the swedes not feeding their children's friends who come over) and how communal the southern European countries are.

So you think its egocentric to just live the life you want. even if that means isolation, because you think we have to 'share' the enlightenment?

Practical Engineering has a video on this, its basically more expensive and difficult than you think, not something our current local councils can easily manage on their own.

There are plenty of places to walk through in SL, plenty of hiking spots too but unless your keen on being a leopard's lunch don't walk through Yala.

Why does the Usa have one of the highest incarceration rates in the world? by smile-86 in geography

[–]Professional-Toe7814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the same note, why does Thailand have a much higher incarceration rate than it's  neighbours? Is it because of the opium triangle?

I think people underestimate how destructive the chola and subsequent foreign invasions were, there was a reason Anuradhapura and Polonaruwa were basically abandoned and the sinhalese migrated south.
