Law against Vitiating in Public!!

[cooran]

I am indeed quite happy with the way of life I was born into and am sure it is a part of my kamma.



But it's not about me anyways.

My point is that we let other people live out their traditions, in the absence of arrogance and develop more understanding for their way of life.

Mutual tolerance, if you will.

It has nothing to do with a ''tradition'' ''tolerance'' or a ''way of life''. It is a politician sounding off - and we are aware from our own countries that not all make intelligent remarks.

''However, he was directly contradicted by Solicitor General Anthony Kamanga, who says the reference to "fouling the air" means pollution."How any reasonable or sensible person can construe the provision to criminalising farting in public is beyond me," he said, adding that the prohibition contained in the new law has been in place since 1929.
The Local Courts Bill, to be introduced next week reads: "Any person who vitiates the atmosphere in any place so as to make it noxious to the public to the health of persons in general dwelling or carrying on business in the neighbourhood or passing along a public way shall be guilty of a misdemeanour."

Sometimes it may be difficult to comply with the law, but fortunately there is a product to help.

Sometimes its not wise to tolerate stupidity.

Oh, I think it has everything to do with other cultures and traditions! As I explained in my previous posts!

Poor illiterate farmers in a developing land tend to fart without thinking much about it, much to the displeasure of educated politicians in a fine frock. They don't have the type of manners that is standard in the West or in fine circles.

That's just what they do, and I bet if we visited there, it would annoy us just as much as the Politician and we would sound off too.

We would get upset about how they fart around and foul the air and why they can't pass wind in a toilet.

Just as we comment upon stupid remarks here ...

But that's just my opinion and nobody has to share it.

lol , i guess i can't help but respond to this question.

Well- what do you mean by wiping islam off the face of this earth? do you mean harming muslims physically or emotionally? Then No, ofcourse not.

Do you mean wiping islam off the face of the earth like changing their thinking?--> change their thinking in such a way that they wouldn't perform honor killings or wouldn't put people to death for opposing islam?, do you make wiping islam= making islam more tolerant towards others? then yes.
