Gaminiw:
I understand your point.
But, everybody is not the same.
If you can convince everybody, you must be an excellent leader. A jenius.
So, try it. |

Friends (Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, other Sri Lankans, other people and Anud included)
I should let you know that I am new to this forum, so I haven't got the chance to show you my point of view on quite some issues.
Especially for Anud, I should let you know that this topic is about 'Western governments being unhappy with Sri Lanka'. According to the logic of reacting on the main news item I chose to give my point of view on THIS matter.
But if you are curious about my stance on the LTTE I can already let you know that there are many, many things I condemn about the Tigers. I am against anyone who is killing innocent lives, be it the SL army, Tigers, paramilitaries, your angry dad... But at the same time there are several things I like about the Tigers (an example, getting rid of the idiotic Tamil caste system)
But I think it's better to discuss about the Tigers when the topic is about the Tigers. I guess that's a lot easier for the websurfers to comprehend.

My only explanation is you are one who suffered the caste discrimination. I don'think you can get rid of the caste discrmination by force and that easy.
Only way that it has been done is by means of money. Exactly the way how the south did it.
On the other hand, if you are trying to change people you are on the wrong path.
If caste is not there, they use money (e.g. developed countries), in england (other hierarchies such as knights and all those rankes given by the Queen).
Even in the USSR or China the politbereau are the high caste or class.
In Kilinochchi, they dismanteled one caste, because they were low caste, but they created another caste. It is just human inferiority to go one above the other.
It is difficult to change those those things. Instead, you can overgrow it.
Only person who dismanted or tried to dismantle caste was BUDDHA.
VIMUKTHI, First you need to understand yourself. Then handle other things.

No I haven't suffered from the caste system. But I agree it would made sense for me to state this when I indeed suffered from it.
The truth is that I live in Holland since I was like 5. So I never had the idiot caste system around me. But every time I go back to Sri Lanka I experience this unhealthy, unfair caste system where people are treated as rats just because they are from a lower caste! That makes me quite angry. Of course Sri Lanka is not the only country with this. In India it's even worse, and that makes me even more angry.
I agree with you that you can't and shouldn't get rid of these complex layers of the society by force. But the war made it possible for the Tigers to get rid of the caste system without much hussle. And I am thankful for that.
You should understand many great things you and I enjoy come through unfair process. If it wasn't for the Romans that have conquered and killed so many people, but also have build great infrastructure and buildings. If it wasn't for the killing machines of the Brittish, Portugese, Dutch in the colonial ages, you and I wouldn't be so far.
Do I think it's right to get were we are through so much horror and such a gigantic waste of human souls? No absolutely not. But I am happy with the situation as it is right now (in general). Yes I am! Am I contradicting myself here? Yes a little bit, it's just such a thin line between good and bad
Anyways, it might be that Buddha said those things. Perhaps I should let you know, even though I myself am an atheist, I do find Buddha's teaching interesting. I've been a martial arts practitioner for years and I have read and learn lots about Buddha.
That's also another reason I have such a big distrust against the Sri Lankan government. They portray themselves as true Buddhists, but they can't even let one of the most important Buddhist icons at the moment, the Dalai Lama into our country?! Those idiots. Get Dalai Lama in Sri Lanka and let him teach how peaceful true Buddhism is! We should get rid of the greedy, war hungry, racist monks in Sri Lanka and get some great, wise, peace loving Tibetan monks in return!

Anud, what makes you think I am not honest? Come with arguments please.
Challenge me on anything about the Netherlands. You can learn a lot from me about his wonderful country, were quite fortunately there is no problem at all with Sinhalese and Tamils (haven't bumbed into SL muslims in Holland yet)

Thank you Mark. I am well.
You say And it is good if Ranil is given a chance to participate in any negotiation, but again both JVP AND LTTE would go against the idea.....after all they got together to bring him down
Ranil does not need to be GIVEN a chance. He has the authority of his own work. Ranil needs to speak out more. JVP and LTTE could not have brought Ranil down if Ranil had stuck to the intellectual path.
love

Gaja, you did not answer my question.
pUKetamil:
You go the psychiatric ward man.
Many tamils are in that state because of your struggle.
Vimukthi the web surfer:
there is nothing to respond in your postings man. Just read more or learn more and over time you grow up. You have the potential.
GAMINIW:
He is not a realist. he thinks like that. He is looks like another one who needs to grow up.
