Why not make coconut out of plastic.
Knight Rider Thursday, 28 October 2010 03:43 AM

JoeT Thursday, 28 October 2010 04:39 AM
Mara traders...smashing cocunuts or not, wonder why they are giving excuses for selling more coconuts...sounds strange

I agree with you, Our people are very ignorant although the authorities boast of 90% literacy rate in our country. And more over cursing another person is a grave sin.
JD Thursday, 28 October 2010 05:52 AM
Maybe Migara is having wealth enough. that's why he's not worried about the cost of living. but It isn't the same for the rest of the population in the country. He should find out how a living today is difficult. regret for not seeing the reality.
dumb & brumer Thursday, 28 October 2010 05:57 AM
the coconuts that are smashed are not wasted, they pieces are collected and used for cooking.
Bird Eye Wednesday, 27 October 2010 07:32 PM
Social injustice is the cause of smashing coconuts.

Smashing coconuts have nothing to do with any religion, they are superstitious practices by the gullible and foolish. In which religious or holy book do they say to smash coconuts? None.
As humans advance in the evolutionary scale, most of this nonsense would stop when they come to a realization how foolish they are to indulge in meaningless practices.Michael Pantaleon Thursday, 28 October 2010 07:25 AM
No God will like cursing,instead Gods are curing people.Almighty God help these idiots to clear their brains from madness of political ravage.
Afker Hussain Thursday, 28 October 2010 11:00 AM
Make artificial coconuts and then peoples can smash those till there hearts content and leave the the rest for consumption. at a stable price.
dil Thursday, 28 October 2010 12:31 PM

migara Wednesday, 27 October 2010 09:45 AM
culprits - Anoma Fonseka, Ekneligoda's wife, Ranil Wickremesinghe.....after that they all shout about high cost of living
Kundu mali Wednesday, 27 October 2010 07:23 PM
I am sure it is a waste. Let make coconut rock I love them. Treat the kids in some care homes. God will like that instead of blocking the drains and let dengue spread.

Now U don't give them ideas about cutting Dehi. Already there is a Scarcity of Lime in the market.
Cynic Wednesday, 27 October 2010 11:35 AM
Then why did bread go up? Feeding those who "farce" unto death?

Chow Chow Wednesday, 27 October 2010 09:49 AM

malkanthi Wednesday, 27 October 2010 09:47 AM
