Nude Pictures taken on Mount Kinabalu

I can see it from both points. While the mountain may be a sacred and important place, you are a guest in another country and should avoid from causing any upset regardless of your beliefs. Having respect for others peoples beliefs/religions/followings. No different to being a guest in another persons home - you should know where you're going and culture.
 
If you are going to explore the world at least learn something about local cultures and beliefs.

Regardless of how we feel the people living in Borneo have their own belief systems which may not fit ours stomping all over them doesn't really help bridging those cultural gaps.
 
Terrible news story, I hope she gets a fine and sent back home to the UK. Complete stupidity on her part, don't get me wrong but basically blaming the earthquake on these backpackers :( sigh

Teenagers/young adults are and can be incredibly disrespectful. While it is awful, it is their own stupid fault.

Yep! Getting undressed is so indecent...!;)

More seriously all they have done is the typical "naked looking th other direction" pose, which is done all over the place by thousands of people. I'm sure I've even seen people do it on that mountain before. Unfortunately for them they did it in a country with even less sensible laws than the UK and the image was seen before they got out the country.

Perhaps someone should point out to the minister that the idea it caused an earthquake is ridiculous and if he continues thinking that then perhaps we should be removing his western designed toys, you know, just in case his high end car or hgh rise office annoys the gods...:p

So westerners should be able to go where they want and do what they want then?

Got it.
 
Maybe the mountain god was pleased with the offering of the pale woman's titties, but got all riled up over the dudes showing off their junk, lost his **** after brooding over it for a week and then decided to throw boulders at some unrelated climbers instead?
