Sri Lanka is a developing naiton there are very rich, the very poor and the avergage. There are Sinhalese, tamils and muslims in all of those classes. Yes there are tamils with very little money, education access, unemployed, poor living conditions etc. There are sinhalese ppl in the same situation. But each class blames the other for their grief instead of realising unless the country grows economically nothing can change.

you know, it was only 3 years ago...in trincomallee...on January 5th 2006 when the 5 Tamil students were murdered at broad daylight by the SLA. Oh yes, sorry, it was back "then"...we should forget about that too...is it? Government chages every 4 years my friend. That doesnt mean we can just forget about what happens to us every 4 years. Sri Lanka is still Sri Lanka. nothing major has changed.

if you need more examples, actually i am in the middle of creating a website showing each and every one of these incidents, so that the world can see for themselves. It comes with pictures and videos:)

[l4gtm]

if you have anyone to blame for this mess this island is in, blame your own people. They created this mess, and sent the island down a cascading effect. To talk about what is happening only today is not right. To speak of the problem on the island right now, one must look at the entire picture. by the way, have you seen the hospital shelling pictures today? oh wait...maybe it was the LTTE that did that. well, if they did, they got damn lot of firing power still. good luck to SLA!

Greater toronto area is best place.

we should now ask for a part of canada to put up our eelam caravan..recent research shows Tamils were the original inhabitants of canada..we were chased out of our once homeland by the british..we should start our eelam project in canada..afterall it is our ancient homeland

[kanetheman1212]

Even tamils right now, are being slaughtered by those sinhalese mother fuckers. why is that.. i thought the war was over... kidnapping is still taking place, children are going missing, females are getting surgeries to prevent pregnancy, females are getting raped in numerous occasions, no action is taken by the SL GOV, no equal rights are given.. so of course Tamils are going to support the LTTE.. the sinhalese people talking here need to get their facts straight... there ignorance is shocking

I have no angry with you because this is due to your mental illness. How that relates to this case? Also want you to mention that I read enough books regarding our history and you should try to read other than LTTE books.

Not only language and manners, but you need to learn history too. How is your English? If not good ask your relatives to send books on Ceylon History .

I learned this history from the revised pro-Singhalese history of Sri Lankan school system, Vijaya and his 700 friends married the Pandiyan (pandu) Princess and women from South India.

[ravi220280]

Don't warn to learn language or manners from you or from your people.You were cannibals when our ancestors developed great civilisations with great traditions . What western countries doing in Afganistan. US bombed and kill hundreds just couple of weeks ago. Are there any protest against them? Any one talk about that in security council?

[ranjistudent]

shut the fuck up after bringing tamils from 40 % to 1% you expect tamils to forget everything good luck !

[ranjistudent]

every tamil person is LTTE>

[truefact1]

Mr. Ravi

Watch your language. First learn to be a decent person. In SL you can behave/speak what ever you want. But in Western world behave like a sophisticated person. In SL you can burn/kill innocent people and label them as rebels. You can kidnap and kill peaceful protesters. But in West this kind of peaceful protect are respected and heard.

[ravi220280]

LTTE killed all tamil political leaders and destroyed all other similar organizations. Thats how they become only tamil representative. These tamil fuckers only afraid of loosing visa's from developing countries and these fucking countries are in afraid of loosing chance to interfering to internal matters of a developing country.
