Three Cups of Tea 1

[Tripo1iSamson]

When Greg/his ghost writer was referencing all the 'shocking' hate-mail in Three Cups of Deceit, I mean Tea, I wonder why they didn't reference anyone simply asking critical questions or how good the CAI's accounting methods (or lack thereof) were.....

IS that song really by John Mayer? Because it sounds like woman. John Mayer is a FAG!!

[shangalangggg]

@Dawaz11  Its the 2nd song that is by john mayer...clearly a male voice, you ignorant moron!!!

[hotsauselover]

just started reading the book...pretty amazing story, I hope to do something like that one day.

[Tripo1iSamson]

Was an interesting book, but as he was a drifter who resented his country flying American flags after 9/11 while never saying one bad thing about his kidnappers in the middle east, I can't help but lose respect for Mortenson. He seems to reserve all negativity for his own country while being filled with a rather naive love for people who have very little in common with him, culturally.

[rawrimaprick]

@Tripo1iSamson if you'd actually read the book, the kidnappers finally released him - shortly after they held a party dancing around a fire with him while stuffing money into his pockets to help fund his schools.

furthermore, one can argue from mortenson's standpoint that those people are a by product of ignorance, who have seen little but war after war from the numerous breaches of their lives conducted by the soviets first, and then america later on.

[Tripo1iSamson]

@rawrimaprick Did read the book. Doesn't change what I said. 

[zoraom]

@Tripo1iSamson

maybe this 'naive people have much common with him , just as human beings , with connection on the heart level ...as you see it was 'giving and receiving' river of life..without 'cultural' hindrance..

my deepest respect to him for what he has done...

[Tripo1iSamson]

@zoraom I'm inclined to agree with you, building those schools was a good thing. Yet have you read the stories about the fundamentalist Muslims in the middle east destroying girls schools? He tried a good thing, but he was ignoring certain unpleasant cultural barriers.

[rawrimaprick]

@Tripo1iSamson ignoring cultural barriers? What are you saying?! He fully realized what he was up against. there were fundamentalist mullahs, fundamentalist muslims and other cunts who were issuing fatwas, breaking down his schools etc. How was he ignoring these "unpleasant cultural barriers" when he specifically includes these incidences in his book as well as his struggles against those barriers?

I seriously think you should reread the book.... that is, if you've read it at all. 

[Tripo1iSamson]

@rawrimaprick By thinking his schools would exist long. That's what I meant. And nah, I'm not rereading it. It was terribly written.

[rawrimaprick]

@Tripo1iSamson they're still existing and CAI is still going strong. happy being a douche the rest of your life.

[Tripo1iSamson]

@rawrimaprick Okay?

[Tripo1iSamson]

@rawrimaprick Hey, looks like the CAI is up to its neck in shit and bad business transparency.....Been one year, not the rest of my life, and you're still wrong. Enjoy being a douche, for the rest of youtube's life. :)

@Tripo1iSamson

now I understand your POV,and worries,

but where he should build these schools ..in US?

I remember one wise man who said

"if you like to remove darkness bring light in it.."

I feel this is what he did.

He is responsible for his deeds and others are responsible for their..

I didn't read the book,, but just this fact what he did-was a spark of light in darkness. Great and courageous step.

@zoraom

Do yourself a favor and borrow the book at your local library (as I did). Only half-way through it has enlightened me to a lot of things about Northern Pakistan, Afghanistan and many other of the 'stan' nations.

[Tripo1iSamson]

@zoraom Apparently Greg Mortenson blatantly lied in his "nonfiction" book, changing events around to suit his story. Total bullshit. Also, a lot of those schools don't run, didn't run more than semester/year/season, and the "CAI" (Mortenson and a cat and a notebook) apparently is extremely dishonest in reporting numbers of all sorts.

[Tripo1iSamson]

@zoraom It seems to me that the notion of ending backward religious violence through educating women, by far the most useless gender in all of society, is pretty flawed.

[cafekawaii]

Just bought the book. Going to start reading it tomorrow. :-)
