Remember Aesops fable about the Father &son who took a donkey to the fair for sale!
This maid debate reminds me of that -for some reason.
allowing maids to go- wrong!
stop them going -wrong!
try talking to arab authorities for better conditions- You are laughing stock !
Just a thought ! :) |

Ariyalal,
Let me further analyze the problem in the Tamil community by taking you as an example.
In almost everyone of your posts, you have studiously avoided mentioning Velu. This confirms what I have been saying.
Tamils have an innate fear of confronting Prabhakaran and discussing his handiwork.
You are no exception.
You will discuss various inadequacies of the Gosl, Sinhala Buddhist Chauvinism, the Failure of the Sinhlala community ect ect, BUT not Prabhakaran.
You arguments are based on isolated incidents, which cover up the inadequacies of your community like a fig leaf.
You do not admit that Tamils lack the guts to confront the fascist dictator and Terrorist and unleash democracy and pluralism in your community.
In short, this is the fundamental problem for Tamils these days - OVERCOMING PRABHAKARAN!
He is like a retarded and violent Child that is continuously being hidden by Parents from the view of neighbors.
This is why Tamils remained mum when your violent child made mockery of CFA.
This the cardinal failure of the peace process.
The lack of support from the Tamil Community towards the CFA, simply because they failed to challenge the Monster!
It is therefore, extremely naive in my opinion to think that Tamils will have the backbone to divorce themselves from Velu even if a credible power sharing mechanism is tabled.
Your example alone is convincing.

Sinthaka,
I will answer the following point as there is no point in wasting my time with the arguments that you raised!
This is where you fail repeatedly in your arguments. You simply fail to look at the Prabhakaran factor, so much so, its beginning to sound a bit hilarious! Tamils never had the guts to question Velu when he made mockery of CFA, and to think they will suddenly find a spine to ignore him as soon as a power devolution is put forward, is hilarious to say the least.
I told you before that, the Tamils have long lost their ability to have a say. They are totally at mercy of both LTTE and GOSL. The only people who can make a difference are the Tamil Diasporas. During the CFA time, there was great deal of optimism, and then P-TOMS raised hopes, but the Sinhala polity never acted with one voice (I mean the major parties).
It is astonishing that you would not want to compromise on constitution and devolution, but looking to subjugate the minorities. With this kind of Attitude, you will have an endless battle with LTTE.
I now understand as to what, Gavin said about you. I still maintain that, only way to resolve this issue is by GOSL putting forward a viable power devolution proposal and implement it sincerely that goes far beyond the 13th amendment.
Your logic is that, if GOSL were to get rid of Velu, you can get away with a diluted devolution. You can live in hope!

Sinthaka,
I may have only posted about 1,200 posts on these forums, but I joined back in April 2005. If need be, you are very welcome to review my profile to see how many times I had mentioned Velu and condemned his tactics etc. As usual, you have come to your conclusion by reading here and there!
Velu is a factor one cannot ignore, but he can be made irrelevant thus compelling him to compromise. This was what happened to IRA in Northern Ireland, suddenly there was no basis for them to exist. Can Sri Lanka create such a situation? Please think outside the box. |

Sinthaka is deep inside a box. Next to him are MR, Gota, JHU, JVP. Ranil also is somewhere in the same box.
These guys will never think outside the box! |

SB and Sinthaka,
Its no need to agree on issues, but your discussion is productive. Talk on bitter limits of the matter with some respect will help people to come into the problem with better understanding.

Ariyalal,
Velu is a factor one cannot ignore, but he can be made irrelevant thus compelling him to compromise.
This is one statement that I will never agree on.
If a credible power sharing mechanism is to be tabled, you have to first demonstrate that you can control this Monster.
How will the Sinhala community ever have faith in the Tamil community that Velu will not run away with a separate state, if Tamils themselves can't control Velu?
Ask your selves honestly Ariyalal...can you ever confront Velu?
I don't think so. That is what I'm saying.
Up to now Tamil community has not demonstrated that vital and fundamental trait.
I would love to see this war over with a negotiated settlement, without one more drop of blood being spilled.
Am off. Have a nice day buddy. Its been a pleasure speaking to you. Hope there are no hard feeling my friend :))

Mr. Wickremesinghe who addressed the protest said the UNP would not allow the Government to hold another election in the future, similar to the Batticaloa local government election.
The Batticaloa election has ignored the people s rights completely, he said while describing it as an election through which the Government has handed over the East to a terrorist group after taking it over from another terrorist group. This is nothing but State terrorism, he added.

Ranil want to to have a 100% clean and perfect election in EAST, after about 14 years of no election in area and after having 2 terror out-fits run the area.
What kind of leader he is..?
Its natural to have many weaknesses. One by one will disappear. At least, on and after election, no major incident reported from the area. LTTE is not active in the area. Karuna people now has to move with political tune.
We have to grow faith on the matter.
Give some time to adjust.
Ranil, help GOSL conduct elections. It will give you more public sympathy than acting like a fool. |

Out of the topic..
Danger! JVP is arming again
(Lanka-e-News, 2008 March 13, 5.15 PM) JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva said recently, 'JVP will fight to the fall of last member if the Provincial Councils that lead the country towards separatism will be brought back. The Provincial Councils that are to be brought to North and East are not the same Provincial Councils that are in South. They will have land and police powers. More powers will be vested to raise foreign funds. We will fight against them.'
