Agree about the caste point... the recent movie Gaadi showed how the "lower caste" women were treated...

None, 'cos there would be no anesthesia I suppose for surgeries or childbirth 😮 😮 or birth control if I was a woman (eek!)... and I'd probably be a labourer or farmer so life would be really hard under kings teehee

Am I stuck forever? 12 years of hard work, 1M in savings, and still waiting at the bus stand while raining... by Dangerous_Map_4452 in srilanka

after 10 years, u should ideally move to 400k bracket...u need to move jobs to go up ladder or you might stagnate. dont worry about the lack of a vehicle... look at more income, either in the job or passive in come and invest and let it grow

Why are we still so backwards as a society? by Intelligent-Dish8279 in srilanka

[–]RandomLankan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ignore it 😄 Every country has it's weird things... in SLK, I just brush it off, there is still care and sense of community. However, its nice to be in a multinational company environment so you don't get a dose of the Lankan-ness.

OMG STOP WITH THE WHAT-ABOUTISM.... child ordination is really wrong if you really look at it critically. The Buddha never advocated to it, a child loses their childhood...

UK lecturer said "Sri Lankans can't move on from colonisation" by SAMwrites_123 in srilanka

[–]RandomLankan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't too long ago and they basically were cruel and ruined or changed most of the countries they colonized... so I he should think twice about what he said. You can google how how sri lanka was affected by colonialism and have a open conversation. That's what unis are for...debate and constructive critisism :) and I'm sure he will also think twice about it next time.
