In my previous post about the whole Amnesty International deal, I pointed out how the foam balls are not related to the sport being played in the West Indies.
But the point I fail to see is, why people are making such a fiasco out of it.
Was watching the highlights from the RSA/WI match yesterday, and couldn't help but notice a train advert going at the bottom of the tele screen calling for people to come to the Fort Railway station at 9:30 today, to join a demonstration against NGOs trying to harm our cricket!
It's at times like this that I realize how stupid people can get. Give one of these people enough time and resources, and they will come up with a connection somehow.
I accept the fact that organizations such as Amnesty are ever-broadening the definition of human rights. I'm pretty sure that the day will soon come where one cannot wear a pink shirt, cos it might offend someone who is gay.
This is a result of the ever increasing average global quality of life. It's a bit like BMW selling optional extras on optional extras. "Would you like sport seats in the front sir?" and when you do buy it, "Would you like those seats to be heated sir?", and when you buy that "Would you like your heated sport seats to be electrically adjustable sir?, and next comes "Would you like your electrically adjustable heated sports seats to be in leather sir?", "Custom BMW Exclusive leather sir?" You know where I'm going with this...
This is exactly what happens. Right to life > Right to life with safety > Right to safe life with dignity > Right to dignified safe life with votes > Right to dignified safe life with votes where your are not discriminated >>>>
Where will all this lead?
