Rasak,
I got something for you, you asked me whether I have proof as to whether there are out of proportionally more bhuddist monks than other religious priests. I have some. In other religions I have only seen adult priests, but among buddist monks i have seen adults, teenagers and kids. That is the proof.
As for the education part I agree with what you wrote in the previous forums, but asking why cant it be applied in other areas like SLA recruitment. You are not required to reply it but something to think about.

so sorry lanka
The Secretariat for Co-ordinating the Peace Process (SCOPP) co-ordinated the APRC sessions while also providing translators and interpreters.
Nizam Kariapper who represents the SLMC at the APRC told Daily Mirror yesterday that in the absence of SCOPP the APRC too could no longer function. He said it was SCOPP Director General Rajiva Wijesinha or someone on his behalf who convened the APRC meetings.
JHU front-liner and Western Provincial Minister Udaya Gammanpila said the government had now realized the the work of the APRC was a time-wasting exercise.
Without SCOPP, the APRC is like a dancer without a stage, he said and added that the APRC was created to function in tandem with the military operations against the LTTE.

so genoicidal sorry lanka
This would indeed pose a question of genocide, in the sense of the deliberate destruction of a population group in its home territory,' writes Dr. Martin Shaw, professor of International Relations at UK's University of Sussex, and an authority on genocide.
Full text of Martin Shaw article
Questioning 'w hat kind of violence has the Sri Lankan state been committing against its Tamil civilian population as the island s civil war ended on what scale and with what intentions?,' Martin Shaw explores in the article, the difficult terrain where war, atrocity and genocide meet.
Professor Martin Shaw'President Mahinda Rajapaksa, in his 'victory speech', told Sri Lanka's parliament that 'our heroic forces have sacrificed their lives to protect Tamil civilians', and he took 'personal responsibility' for protecting Tamils. Yet his government is now scandalously confining this huge population - who have already suffered not only from the LTTE but from Sri Lankan bombardments which caused probably tens of thousands of deaths and injuries - in squalid conditions.
'The government has officially backtracked, under international pressure, on plans to hold the displaced, while screening them for potential 'terrorists', for up to three years it now says that 80% will be resettled by the end of 2009,' Shaw writes.
Refering to Professor Francis Boyle's characterization of Sri Lanka to the Nazi model, Prof. Shaw says, 't he western fixation with the Nazi holocaust means that there is an obvious political temptation to link all anti-civilian violence with the Nazi model.The pro-Tamil United States-based academic Francis Boyle,in his posts, sees a sixty-year 'rolling' genocide in which Sinhalese governments of Ceylon (the country's name at independence in 1948) and Sri Lanka have sought 'to annihilate the Tamils and to steal their lands and natural resources. This is what Hitler and the Nazis called lebensraum - 'living space' for the Sinhala at the expense of the Tamils.'
'In this perspective, the camp system is all too clearly the latest stage of genocide - although other Tamil advocates date genocide back to the anti-Tamil pogroms in 1983 in response to which the LTTE campaign began.,' Shaw writes. |

To answer your questions about buddhist monks.. you need to know more about buddhism to understand. Being a monk does not mean you preach. Monks do not necessarily do service like priests of other religions. You can be a monk and engage in meditation all your life without giving a single sermon. So comparing numbers doesnt mean anything. |

Tamils live on Greed.
So, people who are in content with themselves will eventually lose.
Because, when people don't complain as loud as they can, Leaders think those non-complaining ones are OK.
Politicians often have ears only to those who make noise. |

LOL malli LOL!!!
Tamil govt will be formed in Lanka: MK
Chief Minister M Karunanidhi on Wednesday expressed hope that a government led by Tamils would be formed soon in Sri Lanka. He also said that the ailing Tamils in the island nation could at present get respite only through the Mahinda Rajapakse government.
He however said that the only way to help Tamils in the present situation was through the Rajapakse government. In order to help our brothers and sisters in the island nation, we should not come out with hard hitting remarks against Sinhalese. Because, in the present scenario, we could only reach Tamils through them, he said.
Ha.Ha.Ha.Ha.Ha.Ha.....

Looks like you need to learn a lot about university entrance. Just forget Sri Lanka. Take Harvard for example - one of the best in the world. They too take race, state, country into account during admissions. They have terms like URM (under represented minority), ORM (over represented minority) etc. We, srilankans, indians, chinese belong to ORM category. ORMs are reverse discriminated. Latinos, black, africans belong to URM category. Their admission criteria is not that stringent. It is hardest for ORMs to get in. Yet, ORM numbers at Harvard is above the population ratio. Same goes to other Ivy league colleges like Yale, Princeton, Cornell etc. And.. same applies to other non-Ivy universities.
SL has a true race blind system. It only considers your district which have differing facilities. Rural districts are treated better due to their lack of facilities. Jaffna too is a rural district now. All district basis admissions come AFTER the merit quota (which is 35% as I recall) for which only criteria is your merit.
