When UNP and LTTE did it back then no one talked or raised their voice now when Gota tries to clean up last weeds, there is a huge public out cry
President was making frequent trips to UN human rights council in 1990 in order to pressure UNP govt from abducting sinhala youths during JVP uprising. Here is the link:

Our dear President was also asking for Amnesty International to enter the country and well as asking donor countries to put external pressure on UNP govt to stop its human rights abuses and disappearances. Therefore if Mahinda himself was seeking outside intervention against the SL state machinery in 1990,

Bleeding heart:
our children are not sent to Montessori but to places of learning where they are taught religious values. Once these values are deeply instilled, then they can be introduced to the secular education. May be the children will be fully equipped in moral values
Depending on how you interpret this, it may bring good or utter disaster.
As 'religious' values, Muslims and christian may start making religious fanatics with Quran readings and bible studies. I don't like even the word MORAL because it reflects christisn values. Other than that, Sri Lankan education need full restructuring. I agree with you even with respect to the disaster with montessori and too much attraction to materialism.
They are losing family values, and will create broken families - druggies, adultery and unhappy people with money and wealth etc., etc., |

President Mahinda went to Geneva in those days because he thought the HUMAN RIGHTS are the priority in GENEVA. What happened?
Why do these WHITE human rights companies now bark at Mahinda? Now Amenesty International openly get money from LTTE goons to bark against Mahinda. Why? the WEST backed LTTE terrorists have gone to the hell.
LTTE supporters are always justify the abductions, murders and robberies of LTTE. UNP killed the JVP actvists on the sole purpose of implementing American policy of destruction of the LEFT politics . LTTE followed the the same and killed many prominant LEFT politicians in the North/East on their first round of killings! Later they started to kill pro-Indian Tamils in the North.
2300 people are abducted or kidnapped or missing every day in USA. That means more than half million people are abducted in a year for any reason. Are you all ask explanation from Obama? Or you are all telling Obama is a dumb ?
Every 3 minutes a RAPE happen in USA. Every five minute a person is killed in USA. You guys dont call USA a country of criminals but call it DEMOCRACY .
I think Sri lanka did not reach the heights of the American democracy sofar! |

Basically, all religious values are the same. It is all about doing good and forbidding or keeping away from evil.
As to what exactly should be taught, there can be agreement among the various religious authorities. Mind you, this is not about teaching the Quran or Bible or Hindu or Buddhist texts which is for the Madrasa or Church or Dhamma schools.
This is ONLY about instilling the right values which the secular schools NO LONGER provide.

You got it very wrong.
Objectives' of the muslims or the Christians will be different. They are both political religions and wants only the world's domination.
What ever you say, the western society is being degraded from within. They break down at one point and change drastically.
People from outside don't understand it but people live in that society understands it. AT that time they will understand money and materialism alone did not work.
All the materialistic societies are degrading and breaking down. Edited By - AnuD - 14 Apr 2012 12:20:27 GMT |

If Tamils (global majority) want peace in Sri Lanka they have to stop intimidating the global minority Sinhalese
Unfortunately global minority did very well in murdering large numbers of global majority in small space of time causing global majority to punish global minority via UN resolutions, international black-listing etc. Therefore sensible approach for fearful global minority will be to stop harassing global majority under military occupation and thus lessen the likelihood of global minority facing further trouble by global majority

Thanks to Canberra's intervention at high levels of the Sri Lankan government, the two were dumped on the streets of Colombo on Tuesday morning, still alive, and Gunaratnam immediately deported. Their accounts put the case as the latest in nearly 60 abductions of a spectrum of government critics in the past few months, carried out by armed men in ''white vans''. Attygalle reports the men who blindfolded and took her off in a white van spoke in police jargon and addressed their chiefs as ''sir''.
Another abduction pinpoints who is running the white vans. On March 26, businessman Sagara Senaratne was abducted by a group that demanded 50 million rupees ($370,000) for his release. But he had a brother-in-law who is a minister in the government, who contacted the president and the defence minister. The driver of the white van got a phone call, and announced: ''Let's dump him.''
As journalist Tisaranee Gunasekara noted in the Sunday Leader newspaper, the businessman was no ingrate. He thanked the Rajapaksa brothers for intervening. But, as Gunasekara asked, how did they know who to call?
Meanwhile, four months after it was delivered, Sri Lanka's Lessons Learned and Reconciliation Commission report is joining a long line of previous such reports gathering dust. It has not even been translated from English into Sinhala and Tamil. It is window dressing. If the Sinhala majority are not protected by law, what hope do the Tamils have?
It is time for tamils to ask for Self Determination !

IT is the fashion to blame the govt for everything.
Itis like common criminals such as Grease Devil and the Beggar who became a serial killer by killing the other beggars.
Tamils are fished off because LTTE supporters living in the country are scared off.
when a country comes out of 30 years of violence mentally abnormal people and abnormal violence are common. Accusing the govt is not the solution EXCEPT FOR LTTE - SUPPORTERS and for HUMAN RIGHT - INCORPORATED BUSINESSES Edited By - AnuD - 14 Apr 2012 13:37:40 GMT |

Objectives' of the muslims or the Christians will be different. They are both political religions and wants only the world's domination.
Whatever the objectives of the muslims or christians may be, right now they are killing and destroying each other. The strange part is that rich Gulf countries like Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar etc. are helping the christians in this. They are fighting each other to death, so to speak.
In any case, your concern about them in SL is not understood as they are a small minority forming around 8% each. The muslims in particular seem to be in a total disarray just like their brotheren world wide.
What ever you say, the western society is being degraded from within. They break down at one point and change drastically.
Exactly. The West represents Christianity and the imminent collapse of the West should leave nothing to worry about Christians trying to dominate.
Well, the ONLY way out for SL is to return to human values through the religions. If SL continues the way it has been since the recent past, then it is sure to follow the West in collapsing. |

Interesting combination!
M.I.A. Wrote the Music for Julian Assange's New Talk Show
It s T-minus four days until Julian Assange s new talk show debuts on Russia Today, and while no one s saying who the first guest will be, one interesting detail has come to light: The show s theme music was written by Sri Lankan hip hop star M.I.A.
Certainly, M.I.A. has been given a voice on TV, but mainstream networks might not be so eager to do that again after she flashed the middle finger during her halftime performance at the Super Bowl in February. NBC and the NFL apologized publicly for the incident.
