When we speak the truth people say things. The truth is always bitter and nothing can be done about it. "Pala athi rukatai gal gahanne"... "Viduru giri bithakata wada, sunath dala athuta lowa apahasak natha"

From the comments on this topic, its funny your don't find others "Radical"

To me machan you are just implying that the police did such a thing cuz you are a catholic, no hard evidence but just saying so cuz you think so cuz you are in the mentality that the Buddhists and other people are mistreating you or sort of being racist to you, Just know that its not the case, stop thinking like a radical and just respect all religions also understand that SriLanka is a predominantly buddhist country, actually its better for you just imagine you were in Saudi or somewhere :S

Ofcourse the Police officer knows how not to leave hard evidence. These are sensitive things which no office wants to take part off.

I said : Sir, this is a blessed cross
Officer : Then tell a Priest to remove it and throw it away.

Believe it if you want.... thats what he said. I'm not a idiot to create problems if there wasn't one.

Also macho, just so you know, the second buddhist statue at Thuduwanmulla Road was the location a Mother Mary statue was kept. The local minister forcefully removed it and took it away in a garbage truck (he owns the Garbage dump). Later he was the person that installed the statue. These are things we saw to our eyes. Its hard to be-leave there is no ISSUE.

If he said it in such a way then bad of him, but still it doesn't clear the fact that you were breaking the law by having the LED's so my advice is to you is get over it !

In somewhere like Saudi you'd prolly be imprisoned not for putting LED's but for displaying a cross.
Here you were just advised to remove it cuz of the LED's not because it was a religious symbol.

machan I too was fined for having an animated LED "dharmachakra". Hey what do you say? lets form a club?

මචන් උඹ තනකොලද කන්නෙ?

 

[Magodis-Thuma]

I made a LED blue cross by myself and installed it on the face of my moped motorbike. I've been riding with it on for the last several months without issue. But today a certain unit of Police officers stopped me and fined me for having a "Extra lamp" and told me to remove the cross from my bike. The cross has been epoxy glued (Welded) to my bike face.

Mama Nil LED walin Kurusayak haduwa, Mama eka mage bike ekke mune weld karala wage yakada alawana gum walin fit kara. Mama dan bike ekka masa ganak kisi police case ekkak nathuwa padda. Eth today mawa police unit ekken nawathhala "Athereka pahan dal wi ma" kiyala dadayak gahuwa. Mata police ekka kiyanawa Kuruse galawala danna lu.

Mokak da me jara wade... Mama one tharam wahana dakala thiyenawa "Budu saranai kiyala wind screen eke LED walin hadala thiyenawa. Thuk mehema jara ratak, Katholika apita thama okkoma gas dan.

This is dirty work and attacking for Catholic's... i have seen many cars, vans, lorries displaying LED "Budda" things.... Why not cross? Its is because this is a Buddhist country?? I will never remove my cross. As a Catholic, it symbolizes our life, and Jesus Christ. They and fry my Driving License in a frying pan, But I have the right to express my religion as any other person.

23 years we fought because of Nationality.... are we going to spend the next 23 fighting for religion?

EDIT:

1. LED brightness does not travel a long distance, its really impossible to say that my cross caused the persons vision to be upset.... Now if I placed another Halogen blub, then yes. I will be wrong.

2. The law was put in place to stop bright lights from blinding on coming vehicles. And to avoid three wheelers from looking like pickup trucks etc.

3. If you'll have seen Mate bikes with the bracket in-front... remember they have TWO head lights out of their manufacturer spec. And that would be a even worse offense!

4. I ride my bike over 2000KM/s a month around Colombo and out of Colombo, I have had run into various police officers and NONE ever said anything about a extra lamp, LED can barely be visible if a put the Head beam... I ride normally on the dip. To be a lamp it must illuminate the road... my cross is not a bright light to do that.

5. A Buddhist Police officer can make a exception to a law if it was a LED "Darma Chakraya" considering its their religion symbol. It would be the same if the Police officer was Catholic. Really, the law is there to stop Accidents, Police can depict the law the way they want it.

I am not a idiot, I know if my LED lights are a distraction. If they are flashing/changing color... yes. But they are not. Also from the officers tone he spoke he was not enforcing the law... he was enforcing his attack and hate on the Cross... there are a lot of Buddhist who now say "Kuruse Adahana Wesige Putha"... I do social work so I'm in preview of some peoples extremism on "This is a Buddhist only country". I am afraid that when these people see a cross they really do get distracted... nothing to be done about that.


Conclusion : At the end of the day, I gathered a lot about our fellow Elakiri people! As it seems everyone wants to say go by the law. But only because it is advice to another person. If a lit cross was a crime I cannot imagine what the law has come too anyway. How it was nothing more than to inconvenience people. If putting a cross is fashion, its wrong... if its for faith its no issue. Thank fully I have not broken the law. But there are many vehicles that are breaking it. Btw, I really hate Sinhala text... the iss pilla's and stuff are messed up. There is a strong Buddhist - Catholic issue in Moratuwa being caused by higher positions in the Buddhist side. Hopefully they will be rectified very soon. Instead of trying to say I AM BAD, just take a few calls and look into these issues from your channels...

You were so lucky enough not to fined before - as you were telling this was there for sometime! - Ape police wala keeyen kee denada hariyata neethiyata weda karanne! unfortunately this time you met with a officer who knows the law! - not even your cross but even neon head lamps, extra lights of any kind facing forward or backward is unlawful!
How could you say LED is not strong enough to distract others
You are making all the comments to justify your belief!
and mama dekala thiyenne bus wal LED budu res ewa nam ethule- mama ekak wath dekala ne eliye sawi karala thiyena ewa. But may be those kind of things there cos most of our police is not punishing drivers mistakes correctly! even they see they just ignored not to bother much! once in a while there are good police people - akuratama weda karana!

As respect for the people who have done the ultimate sacrifice for this land to be free and peaceful, please stop arguing for things that aren't going to be removed from the society completely. it's a shame for all, to argue for such a thing.
For being in such a situation, its fare to get angry, but do not try to let that make you judge all sri lankans stereotypically.
i have been fighting to make this land free for the last 8+ years and lost more than a few brothers and good friends of mine in the process, so don't let these thing make barriers among our selves.

Lastly, for the one who started this thread, im sorry for what happened to u. i think the first reason that made the police to stop u machang is that its blue colored. if you can comprehend, when those LED are lit in the night, they give a strange glow that no other color emits. which most of time, make the person staring at it lose depth perception. i have seen most of the Pulsar guys advised to change the blue bulbs to other color due to this reason. so i hope that you all will try to settle things down, with out making an all out war for every sensitive thing that happens.

ah... see, that cannot happen you know? you know why? this is Sri Lanka and it is a religious country! Secondly, this is a Catholic church which one of the most powerful organizations in the world. Even though your foul month can say that, 99% this country will disagree demolishing a Catholic church legal or not. Also, your foul month should know that the Soysapura church was the first church built there and your panic assed Buddhists ran around building illegal temples around the place. How many temples at Soysapura have deeds?


Macho, me, I have no intention of protecting anyones name or college. The Price of Wales College already has a shit hole position, don't be so proud over a toilet broom.

My dear friends and Christians,

This thread has indeed bought forward many aspects of people. It is very clear that the Catholic Church and whole of Christianity is under somewhat attack from some Buddhists and some unlawful people. I pointed a finger, and I see now how many others point fingers at us, if you read this thread you will see how they attacked the church instead of me.

No one here read anything I said! They just wanted to blaguard me. I've told so many display LED Buddhist things but apparently these Elakiri people don't go on the road much and never know these things. I posted this thread knowing the attacks I will get. But I had a belief that some Buddhists will think like human. And sadly I have mistaken. Many Buddhists at Elakiri have no religious aspects and respect for other religions. There are things we do for the betterment of the people through religions. And none of this would be legal.

There are a lot of bad people at Elakiri.com... Mainly because they have no respect for the other religions basing the "Catholic Killing spree"... Remember that is is the Dutch that did it. They were a set of extremists. Now seeing the responses of many Buddhists here I beg to see a difference between the Dutch and these idiotic Buddhists who say a church is "STUPID STRUCTURE"... is this what religion of Buddha has thought these people???

If anyone undertook the consideration that the LED is not powerful as Halogen and considering aperture changes in the eye..... its really not possible to have any issue, yet none here was smart enough to see that, all wanted to say "ITS WRONG!!!", You know what I say?

I DON'T CARE ITS FOR GOD

so from LED you went to this,damn really sad about you

ඒක නම් ඇත්ත මචන්. බයික් එකෙන් පටන්ගත්ත ත්‍රෙඩ් එක ආපු දුර දැක්කහම තෙරෙනවා ත්‍රෙඩ් එක දාපු පුද්ගලයාගේ අදහස මොකක්ද කියලා. කෙස් පැලෙන තර්ක දාන්නේ නැතුව මේක අහනවා. මේ රටේ නීතියක් තියෙනවා. ඒක හැමෝටම පොදුයි. ඒ වගේම පොලීසියෙන් හිරිහැර වෙන්නේ ආගමක් බලලා නෙවෙයි. ඊලඟට තමන් කුරුසයක් පෙන්නගෙන ගියාම තමන්ව අල්ලලා දඩ ගහනවා කියලයි ධර්ම චක්‍ර වලින් ඉස්සරහ ගහගෙන යන වාහන අල්ලන්නේ නැතෙයි කියලා වෙන බයිලාවක් ගහනවා. අන්තිමට බුද්ධාගමේ ආගමික අන්තවාදය ගැන කතා කරනවා.
තමුන්ට තමුන්ගේ ආගම අදහන්න කිසිම බාධාවක් නෑ. තමුන්ව අල්ලපු පොලිස් කාරයෝ තමුන්ව ඇල්ලුවේ LED හින්දා මිසක් කුරුසය හින්දා නෙවෙයි. පුලුවන් නම් LED ධර්ම චක්‍රයක් බයිසිකලේ ඉස්සරහ ගහගෙන ගිය එක්කෙනෙක් පෙන්නන්න.

I'm aware of that. So that means other people should not be respected? The logo didn't stop the Tamils from raising rebellion. Its just shows how the country is promoting the disrespect

Lol,ok if you so much care start a rebellion,any christian with brains will give u a nice smack to head,seriously WTF man

And guess what, this ( http://www.gossiplankanews.com/2011/09/murder-in-dompe-police.html ) is how normally and SADLY(and shamefully) Sri Lankan police works & treat to anyone.Still you complain over nothing.Go out and get a life bugger instead starting cyber wars with no cause.OR at least start a war for something that really matters instead this thing and what happened(alleged by you,not proven at all ofc) at your school,if really those things happened no point crying out loud here(honestly we can't do anything about that dude,we are not the educational ministry),instead take action like a REAL MAN and go and complain to authorities for the sake of younger ones in your school,you know what jackass(not bcos of you are Christian,I'm calling this bcos the way you talked about your own school) after reading what you wrote about your own school you should be hanged by your own fellow school students,nobody should disgrace the place you learned everything and got everything for your life even how bad it is,like you do selfish shameless faggot.
