    Ive got myself involved in a argument on FB where most people on the thread are supporting the mother against the online trolling berating her for irresponsible parenting that lead to the cold blooded murder of a gorilla ,mainly human apologists claiming human life is way superior to animal life , some going to the extent of saying how they would save a Donald Trump by killing the gorilla if he made it into the enclosure .

     

    I cannot see how the blame can be pinned on anyone other than the zoo and the parents , more so the mother whose job and responsibility is to protect her offspring.. I would curse the mother too . Even if Harambe was dragging the child was it posing enough threat to harm the child ? was it really justified to shoot him dead ?

     

    I feel the zoo could have explored certain man animal conflict prevention management techniques like a trained negotiator to cater to a situation life especially in a zoo which wasn't breach proof ..

     

    Its us who have lifted these animals from their natural habitat and the onus is on us to be more responsible than them .

     

    What would you have done as the zoo keeper ?

    Why psytrance doesnt attract a bigger audience?

    It's because its "unusual" nature for mainstream crowds. I mean, it's not "the same thing over and over" that they can easily digest, more complex and less monotonous than what they can stand and it's not even promoted by mainstream media, which is an important factor to make them like it (yes, they'll easily consume what media give them). Also, they aren't able/educated to appreciate music (and other forms of art) in general.

     

    And it's good that psytrance is not mainstream, at least until now.

    And i thought its psytrance's same thing over and over that the masses cant stand because they cant tell the subtleties and the slight nuances in the music . When i attended my first rave , on my way back from the party i kept saying to the driver , i want lyrics , i want words , everything sounds the same . Little did i realize then it was going to be my initiation into appreciating what goes on in between the "everything sounds the same " parts. :P

    Saw Civil war in the theatre last night . Much better than BvS . Even if you havent watched the prequels or read the comic books you should be able to follow . Zack synder ruins everything . Wonder how he managed to make a movie like watchmen

    Cultural appropriation is nonsense. Human beings are free to explore and use any aspect of any human culture. We are, after all, a social animal.

     

    If cultural appropriation is wrong, than Japanese men wearing suits is wrong. After all, the suit is part of European culture. Listening to classical music by non-Europeans would also be wrong if this nonsense of cultural appropriation were something.

     

    The very idea that you are restricted in the type of sounds, foods, clothing, manners, language, and art because of the culture you came from is absurd.

     

    Let's get rid of this ridiculousness, and not worry about sharing culture.

    Well cant disagree with what you said but the feeling i got from the what the author was saying that most western people wearing bindis would not know the significance of it which is a sort of desecration of the motif. And what he says about playing dijridoos and bongos at parties coupled with the use of OM and shiva and buddha being nothing but a nod to eastern culture by the westerners for all the oppression / subjugation of the colonial era might not necessarily be objectively true but isnt something that you could out-rightly deny or claim as rubbish either . Its an interesting point of view if one were to consider colonialism and its effects from a cultural anthropological standpoint where the oppressors had to recognize the significance of the local customs and traditions of the oppressed in a post colonial era as a sort of reparation for the injustice meted out. It might not be something those who appropriate are consciously aware but this payback is happening more at subliminal subconscious karmic level.
