    hehe another Sirasa thread from a different point of view :)

    Since I'm not in Sri Lanka I don't watch Sirasa. But I don't understand why people say that it supports LTTE? :S

    If they really support LTTE, then the President should take some action against it after a proper inquiry.

    If people say Sirasa is a problem for our culture... :rofl: Think from your own minds mates :)

    Don't you wear jeans, denims, T shirts?
    Or do you still wear the national dress and sarong in accordance with our own culture?

    Can you read my post? Then you know atleast a bit of English? Is English our culture?

    Culture evolves with time.

    And no one has the authority to ask anybody to watch or not to watch a TV channel. It's a basic human right of every individual.

    If the president of the country is not bothered to stop it, then why should anyone else bother?

    :rofl: SL Politics are very cunning than we think!

  • Sirasa super star and other reality shows.
    - Copy cat from west
    certain political discussions.
    Kelin Kathawa = Larry King live
    Cartoons. specially dub in sinhala
    Yes, they selected ones that promote alcohol ans smoking - Asterix (Sura Pappa) and The Cow boy (Kawda boy) which are for grown ups and started showing it them to children. BTW Scooby doo is OK.
    Awesome poya day dramas.
    Sitha Niwana Katha of Rupavahini is even older than Sirasa
    Good discussions.. specially religious 1s.
    Such as? Can they mach "Poya da saakachchaawa" of Swarnawahini or "Doramadalawa" of ITN? You're crazy!
    live telecast of games in many sports
    Notoriously cluttered by advertiesments (Swarnawahini is the same). And they disruprt the telecast for their propoganda and news, which others don't do.
    good old sinhala movies[/B] I am yet to see them showing "Golu Hadawatha", "Nidhanaya", "Rekhawa", "Ran muthu duwa", "Gamperaliya", "Kaliyugaya", "Yuganthaya" or "Viragaya"
    new and old good international movies too.
    -Swarnawahini also do the same, but the quality is dire in films they show.
    Promoting up coming Sl music industry.
    -Promoting ones that only have agreemets with M Emtertaintment. They just don't shit care about classical music. They are the ones to blame for the descend of SL music.

    By the time Sirasa came in to existence, SLBC was only playing very cheap sort of music......Sirasa, even though they had very little of old classical hits, they frequently played them, they introduced Amaradewa & Nanda Malini & rest to the young generation of 1990's...........there was a nice discussion on classical music on Saturday moring conducted by Nihal Wickrama Edirisuriya..............
    Hence, I cannot agree with "Walbada" on the above............

    Supporting and sympathizing is two things. But sympathy can turn in to support.

    Having said that, do you wear casual wear to the conference as in Miami universities or in Hawaii? You lecture your students wearing slippers? And how do you think that analogy of dresses and using English are defined as culture?

    Culture is a much broader topic where it involves our values and morals. These values and morals are the ones that are damaged by Sirasa

    Can you read my post? Then you know atleast a bit of English? Is English our culture?
    As I said, totally idiotic type of analogy.

    Yes, but it's rather a drift than a shift which is Sirasa trying to create.

    Why not? We can ask. We cannot restrict it. But once more the topic of community rigths vs individual rights comes to the forefront, and according to the current trend (which include counries who has human rights Gurus) is towards the former (ask me of medical law regarding HRs, I can show many instances how equation of community > individual is used)

    If the president of the country is not bothered to stop it, then why should anyone else bother?
    If president doesn't bother to eliminate drunkardness should we let our children drink and die?

    :rofl: SL Politics are very cunning than we think!
    Hit the nail on the head. This whole post shows the various faces of politics.

    Plain bullshit this is. CTFM had Aradhana, and on every Sunday they ahd very good discussions on music. SLBC was brought down to that level by UNP, who found classical musicians irritating. They banned songs of Nanda Malini, Kapuge and Diwulgane. The politicins that were in SLBC made it hell for the artists. These are the very ones that are involved with Sirasa as well.

    Sirasa, even though they had very little of old classical hits, they frequently played them, they introduced Amaradewa & Nanda Malini & rest to the young generation of 1990's...........
    Once again total BS. Casettes were so popular by then, and as AL students in early 1990s we had the whole collection of classical music in friend circles. Youngsters of 1990s were already aware of Amaradeva, because They grew listening to their music, unlike people born in 1990s, who grew listening to Sirasra!. Now which ones know better about Amaradeva?

    there was a nice discussion on classical music on Saturday moring conducted by Nihal Wickrama Edirisuriya..............
    What exacly they did to Nihal? Weren't he told to stop that show for a another cheap piece of shit? (you may be aware as you are familiar with Sirasa). (Kinsley, Buddhika and Susara are known to me, who are currently in Sirasa)

    Hence, I cannot agree with "Walbada" on the above............
    That is your opinion.

    Ya there r so meny gud things and bad things in sirasa among other channels. I'm not a govt henchaiya and im nt strongly against sirasa. But machan, there are both.... goods and bads, NOT only in sirasa. Arguing and expostulating about it on elakiri now have become meaningless. Whether u lov sirasa o hate it, u are an EK friend for me.....

    I don't love sirasa, and don't hate as well. Api Nodanna Live is cool... That's the only TV program I watch on TV stations now! hah hah LOL

    Still I don't really understand then why MR is not doing anything for it ?

    As the leader of the country he can do what ever he wants (alas...) like what he did for ABC Corporation.

    It's because of the critical mass which I was talking in some other thread.

    Yes Individual rights and community rights are different up to a certain level.

    So that's why no one can force anybody to do anything. People can say anything. And the people they themselves have a mind to think and act accordingly.

    Change should occur within ourselves mate.. Can't force it to occur.

    By these Sirasa threads, no one will change their likeliness. People who watched will still continue. And people who didn't watch will not! But by giving publicity like this will attract more people....

    i still dont understand y some people keepon trying to find faults which arent faults actually even if it is y cant dey talk abt da good things sirasa do i dont wana pointout it again as some members already did.

    even i dont like sirasa randepaya it really sux, other dan dat they managed to do programs which r innovative and new experiences to the local viewers.

    i really believe dat da people who keepon blaming will remain keepon blaming they only see the negative side of it even if it is thin as an hair.

    I respect your opinion too Walbada (Except your user name......lol)........to be frank, I dont know what became of Nihal..............I was not introduced to the world of Amaradewa by Sirasa, yes, there are people listening to classical music, but, generally, people have no way of reaching these classical music, if you'd remember, apart from few cassettes by "Singlanka", all the others were cheap pieces of shit so to speak........I think the current Hip-Hop genre is far better than what we used to have then................remember travelling in a private bus , listening to these cassetes????.............In my opinion "Sirasa" provided an alternative source for SL music lovers, they played a whole variety.........I may have a soft spot for Sirasa for being my first employer..........yet,I'm no way trying to defend them, I dont have to, I dont want to,...........my honest opinion is......may be inadvertantly.................Sirasa saved Sinhala music from going shits.......people could listen to Amaradewa while travelling in private busses.............and I pesonally know how Nimal Laxapathiarachchi tried to collect old/classical trax for Sirasa library......................also, they were the first staion to pay Royalties to SL artists......................................
