And yet the study of complex, dynamic systems suggest it is perfectly reasonable for the initial act of disrobing to climax in an earthquake. Perhaps there is wisdom in such ancient beliefs!
😉
Whether you consider there is such thing as spirit is irrelevant as the saying goes enter Rome and join the orgies eh …
Mount Kinabalu is considered sacred by the Kadazan/Dusun tribe and the group was actually warned / told by the guide not to strip off or to show disrespect to the mountain area. I mean they were even urinating on the mountain which is a no no.
Consider themselves “lucky” they did not anger other tribal people who are not as docile by comparison and may cause them bodily harm.
I mean if they want to go naked please go to Magaluf or even the toon, we like to see naked people in the toon here yes we do, where it is the norm for tourists or go to some exotic islands with orgies but definitely not in North Borneo.
Oh well … next time they might want to try Saudi Arabia to see what will happen.
Please respect the mountain and try not to treat it like a rubbish dumping ground like Himalaya Mountain. Have you seen the amount of rubbish there! 😯
geetee1972 – aren’t you the one that gets all shirty whenever anyone criticises christianity/the catholic church? Their beliefs are no less ridiculous.
This has little to do with religion. We have laws in this country against public nudity too.
I’ve been to the top of Kinablu and to Angkor Wat and at no time felt it necessary to get naked ! This is just a ridiculous internet fad, like planking but less amusing and more likely to have you end up in jail.
They should send these tourists to jail for a month, give them a big fine and then deport them. This plus massive publicity to ensure other tourists are not encouraged to do the same. Their guide asked them not to, they igniored him and then tried to check out of the hotel immediately (no showers etc) and make a run for it as they knew they had caused offense.
I don’t get it why go naked? Is that a new trend in the look at me, look at me I am shy culture? 🙄
Edit: those pics of naked backsides … why? What a disappointment? FFS show your front? Are your bush not trimmed or something is not really proportionate in size? Loose muscles? 😆
i’m surprised there aren’t more floodings, landslides and lightening strikes here in Germany…. i went for a walk last week and stripped off at the top and enjoyed some full-bodied rays of sunshine. i’ll leave the rest to your imagination…[/url]DSC_0970 by sod_the_taxman, on Flickr[/img]
Sometimes you just get so excited by mountains that you need to take your clothes off. Well, at least I do. No one else sees it (except for those on the facebook group), it’s quite liberating.
Seems like there was tw4t there with dreads…..a white guy, which to me instantly spells bell end, but thats by the by…..he has a blog where seems to do this kind of thing all the time to ‘challenge local cultures and beliefs’ ‘at 33 and a perpetual back packer’
He sound s like the sort of chap you wouldnt need much of an excuse to give him a punch on the nose!
this reminded me of the time mate and i rode down the hill and were confronted by this:

best bit was having to walk within a few feet of them in order to get down to the river so that we too could enjoy the cooling effects of ice cold water. its effects were needed, she was HOT!

If I were there I would walk right up to the photographer and stand behind for a good look at the model … obviously I would ask for permission first. I want bush!

No, I’m the one who gets shirty with the hypocrisy of one group furthering their agenda at the expense of another claiming that it is ‘equality’.
Their beliefs are no less ridiculous.
I agree.
This has little to do with religion. We have laws in this country against public nudity too.
It wasn’t the laws against nudity I was thinking were a bit ridiculous. Rather it was the idea that nudity had ‘angered the spirits’ and thus caused the earthquake.
As for laws against nudity, I was reading a story last week about a nude cycle ride and how one individual had apparently got a little too ‘excited’ and was arrested for public indecency. But the report said there was no specific law againt nudity if it wasn’t causing any distress (where here it was the ‘excited’ nature of the group’s ‘member’ that was causing the offence).
I climbed that mountain in 1989, near the top is a refuge we stayed in. It has a toilet.
Just where do they think it flushes to when you use it. There is no sewage pipe all the way down the hill !
The question is did you smell sewage discharge? If they simply discharged the shit all over the mountain the whole place would stink to high heaven but I did not so where did all the shit go? 😯 Think I was there in 1983/4 …

If a bear poos in the forest and nobody’s there, does it make a smell?
The question is what does a bear poo looks like?
As a kid I picked up goat shite as I thought I found new organic marbles to play with … they did not really smell that much as I broke them in half then give a sniff … 😆 Then bingo! Something alerted me that they came from the backside of goats when I saw the goats producing those “marbles” in front of me …
