Generally, for piece of mind, its best to live among Europeans and their descendants. It has become impossible to navigate all the waters of tawny people and their never ending butt hurt.

I don’t think so. The prescribed offering to Pele is a bottle of gin wrapped in ti leaves.
If we have offended God with something we jokingly did on the spur of the moment, we have long since repented and been forgiven.

<< Upright isn’t the first to apologize for insulting Hawaiians. In 2019, it was someone who sledded down Mauna Kea. In 2021, a woman threw rocks into Lake Waiau. >>

So sledding and tossing some rocks into a lake is disrespectful, but building a giant observatory is somehow kosher. As are skiing and snowboarding. Interesting selective outrage.

there is no real slander that hurts white people, because we’re awesome.

Ain't we just?

“So sledding and tossing some rocks into a lake is disrespectful, but building a giant observatory is somehow kosher.”

Native Hawaiians do protest the building of telescopes and observatories on volcanoes in Hawaii.

The man is an idiot for posting his video - but a bigger idiot for "apologizing" afterwards.

Regards,

[His original post, which showed himself...]

So classy. So very classy.

And he’s surprised people were offended?

[If the volcano is offended, it knows what to do!]

Is tossing Greta in as a sacrifice, out of the question?

The volcano’s carbon footprint and everything.

Just trying to be Green, ya know.

C’mon man!!

Or.....their “god” might have been asleep (IIRC)

Been awhile since I read it.

Aw c'mon. I was just looking for an excuse to toss Greta in.

Now I guess I deserve THIS:

I’m just glad you survived driving a Datsun 210

:)

One of my hotel customers rented a “Honey Bee” which I think was a 210 — yikes - the door was like 1-inch thick

(mid-to-late 1970’s)

I’m wondering if the “flaming mountain” in Revelation is an asteroid doing a (seemingly) slow approach to the Earth. (physics aside)

That would certainly cause men’s hearts to fail from fear of the things (plural) coming upon the Earth.

We live in scary times as the godless seem to be ratcheting it up. I guess the prior examples weren’t sufficient.

Hawaii is no more or less special or sacred than anywhere else in the world. There. I said it.

Crumbächer - Tame The Volcano

Just heard through the grapevine, or so the pigeon sings
No, no, no, no, no, it can’t be true, (oh yeah, listen up)
Seems another angel deserves to lose its wings
My, my, my, my, my, what shall we do?

There’s a cry from the hungry crowd: “Who’s the sacrificial virgin now?”
The Earth has shaken, the sky is falling
I can hear the natives calling

Tame the volcano
Tame the volcano
Tame the volcano
Listen to the natives calling
Tame the volcano
Tame the volcano
(Meanwhile, back at the camp...)

Dancing ‘round the fire, weave your sordid tale
Never underestimate its power, (better beware)
A lion in the jungle is prowling through the vale, seeking out souls whom he may devour

There’s a cry from the frightened crowd: “We in a heap big trouble now,”
The earth has shaken, the sky is falling
I can hear the natives calling

Tame the volcano
Tame the volcano
Tame the volcano
Listen to the natives calling
Tame the volcano
Tame the volcano

(And they went something like this...)

The earth has shaken, the sky is falling
I can hear the natives calling

Tame the volcano

Another lesson learned to pee in private and don’t post a video..........................

The lesson I got was that there’s no end to the things that will upset a bunch of emotionally crippled social misfits...

Mark Twain may apply:

“We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it and stop there lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again and that is well but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.”

“Hawaii is no more or less special or sacred than anywhere else in the world.”

Yup.

They hate white people—just like everywhere else.

Boring!

“Hawaii is no more or less special or sacred than anywhere else in the world.”

How many people share that opinion about a given place, of course, is another matter.
