Sri Lankan Sex Stories ~ My way of Protest
There are couples of unconvincing arguments trying to justify shutting a radio station. Let me go through those swiftly.
Main excuse is passengers have to listen to this radio station in private buses. As a fact I know except cricket commentary, we don't like to listen to any of the radio or music regardless of the station in a cramped bus. In that case we have to bring some regulation to transpiration sector, not to electronic media.
Next argument is children. Answer is simple. Bring parental guideline board, categorize content and allocate time slots for each category. Provide reliable sex education resources for young adults.
Next argument is culture. I understand Sri Lanka is a Christian country and we have to respect puritan values. But still you can buy automatic rifle for 50,000 Rs, revolver for 35700 and grenade for 3000 Rs. January to June, 608 killings and 4000 robberies were reported. [Some old Interpol data at the end]. This is not fault of media.
Why I find this radio channel banning offensive? This government is beating up my freedom last six months like a borrowed mule. This administration started this with The Da Vinci Code. After couple of beatings, now I'm here. I have no clue where this will end. Top of that, I have lot of hopes in this administration. I don't want them to keep on screw up like this.
I can not do much about this. So I decide to post links to some of real Sri Lankan sex stories as a symbolic protest against disrespecting my freedom.

Not very smoothly written like Anne's erotica. But this is the best Sri Lanka
can afford right now.

My Aunt Charulatha

The Ape Girl
(By the way there are lot of other sex stories related to Sri Lanka in ASSTR.
Since majority of stories related to Sri Lanka belongs to homosexual theme and
since that is not my taste, I did not add those links. Sorry ladies.)
"Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful... Better a thousand fold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of the people, and entombs the hope of the race."
Charles Bradlaugh - British social reformer (1833-1891)

Short answer - any country follows Christian principles is a Christian country. Any country follows Buddhist principles is a Buddhist country. Just because majority goes to Temples and religious leaders wear yellow robes, a country won't be a Buddhist country. Sri Lanka is a country follow Christian way of living. Need an example? Here is one - Sri Lankan people get offended by sex and even ban a radio station base on that base.
Majority of common Sri Lankan and leaders follow Christian value and Christian lifestyle, because of that Sri Lanka is a Christian country. Sri Lanka transform in to a Christian country from a Buddhist country by Buddhists borrowing Christian's values over time until they totally lost their core values. But that is a deferent topic.
Sam :D What have you been reading ah :P
Development takes its time. Some things cannot be forced.
Sri Lanka and many other Asian countries are a few decades behind western liberal nations when it comes to culural freedom. I do agree with Sam that Sri Lanka is probably closer to a traditional Christian society than the modern west.
Censorship and puritanism was introduced to us by Christianity. It took Europe a long time to move on. You can't expect Sri Lanka to change overnight. It'll take time.
yup you got a gud point there. loooks like sri lanka is a christian country afterall :P
Mr. Evil
I have been reading good stuff man!
For me, good words worth more than thousand pictures.
Just Mal,
Don't you think cultural freedom also base on economy, rather than religion or culture itself? As majority come above poverty, they tend to be more liberal and open-minded. Isn't it?
I feel most of the Asian countries not like SL. Specially East Asian countries – like Japan, South Korea, etc.. able to keep up their core freedom.
Tish, I love deferent views. Thank you for brining them in.
What you say about Japan and South Korea is true in a way. But those countries did not borrowed there values from America. The only country I know is South Korea since I have great deal of experience there. Korea was a liberal country even before Americans (just like how Sri Lanka used to be). I personally feel South Korea loosing its core liberal values after American influence. But not as fast we are.
I don't think either Japan or South Korea took American values as such, but they bought into capitalism, and it worked. Although it must be said in Japan during the Meiji restoration, the general rule of the land was the wholesale adoption of all things western and I think that had a lasting impact on the country. Japan is a pretty liberal country in a lot of senses, but it also has a very rigid social order and while many topics are taboo in day to day life, in mass media these taboo topics are very much prevalent. In the case of South Korea, my experience has been that they are probably the most liberal Asian people around, but I do get the impression that the country has grown significantly more conservative due to the spread of Christianity.
Going back to Sri Lanka, I think you’ve confused ‘Christian’ values with the ‘out-of-sight-out-of-mind’ view pushed upon us by the British in colonial times. I think this is compounded by the fact Sri Lankan’s love to think themselves more social conscious than they actually are, and of course policy makers then go and exploit this illusion by proscribing ridiculous laws.

Make lot of sense!
The Buddhist "religion" practiced by more than 99% of the so called Buddhists in Lanka including the "men in yellow robes" is no different to Christianity with all the faith and prayer, and just a difference in symbols..
When the British colonials had little success they converting the Buddhists, they helped conversion of Buddhism to a religion like Christianity.
Pure Buddhism is not a religion, it is closer to Science.
