i feel so ashamed reading some of these comments. most of these people are not educated enough. some of these people are ignorant & others have so much hatred that it's blinding them. some comments are just plain atrocious. why did you even write them when there's no purpose; your comments are a waste of space just like you. she's trying to free our country & help our people live a better life through nonviolence because the consequences of war is depression.no one wants to see people starve.

Listen all you motherfucking myanmar patriots, the world is turning its eye on your fucking hypocritical leaders. this so-called cunt of a nobel 'peace' prize winner says that your Royingia people dont belong in your country, even though they have lived there for so long. and apparently all your bitch generals dont believe in deporting them to the sea peacefully so they're using their guns. The world sees how peaceful bhuddists are, truly.
