Must be the standardization Wink

I just visited a homeless shelter and they have very little heat.
I wonder we can get few of them for the fireplace?


Now, that is self-immolation with a purpose.

Terror-Friendly Tamil people around the world host some of the sickest people you can ever find.
They originated Terrorism in Sri Lanka, hosted gang violence in the west, now encouraging self-burning humans.

If the parents are so proud, why don't they set themselves on fire too?

Taraki,
No they won't. If they did, how can they enjoy the recognition and the status they have gained by the death of their son?
Do you know of a better word than "foolish" to describe this type of people?

If you are figting Terrorism why cant you go and join the army and fight for the same.

Some Tamils took their pens and soe Tamils took the guns to fight for the rights, dignity and self respect. But the Sinhala government time and agin prives that the people who use their pens or their mouth will not survive. Look at the track record of journalist who were killed recently.

While the sinhalease demand wiping out terrorism which rightfully all decent humans should support , they do not mind their SINHALA government with SINHALA soldiers carrying out state Terrorism on Tamils.

Do you think if the tigers have infiltrated sinhala areas they will resort to aerial bombardment. In the name of wiping out Terrorism the Sinhala government id giving a collective punishment to the tamils to deny their right for self determination.

Dr. Senaratne told the Daily Mirror they had proposed that police and land powers be devolved to the Provincial Councils as specified in the Constitution but that the police powers be limited to dealing with minor offences.
..........

The Minister said that with regard to land, the group had proposed that powers relating to the acquisition and of lands be vested in the provincial councils with the Centre retaining the power in relation to land distribution ................

Dr. Senaratne said a consensus for the extensive devolution of power was reached at the APRC while the intention of the group was to ensure a meaningful implementation of the 13th Amendment.


Who are they cheating about giving a meaningful devolution, Sinhalease can conqer the land but not the spirits of the Tamils

Post Brown, ......we really need shrinks more than an envoy 
".... a computing graduate who worked part-time in a supermarket,............"

There's the reason right there.


On a more serious note, these diaspora supporters can benefit from some form of psychiatric help. After spending decades getting their kicks from inhuman attrocities of the ltte and glorifying the ghoulish perpetrator as god, it must be a real downer watching helplessly while their lifelong dream of eelam crumble so quickly.

But the Sinhalease are getting their kicks from inhuman attrocities committed against helpless tamil civillians by the Sinhala State leadership with the Sinhala army.

Only Diaspora can protest because anyone and everyone who protest these attocites will be branded as Terrorist supportes and killed. You would argue that Lasantha Wickramasinghe is a Sinhala LTTE Terrorist.

Go and look at the death count who is getting killed by whom ???

If Sinhalease want peace Treat Tamils with respect and do not deny their right to rule themselves in the north and east. The main objective of the present and past governments is to colonise the Tamil areas and wipe out the Traditional Tamil areas.

If they were serious about peace in Srilanka they would have offered the Interim Governing Authority to the Tamils of the north and East.

As you stated it was for a free state in which Tamils can rule themselves. Sinhalease have denied that right of the Tamil people since independence. They got out of the British rule alone and they did not get the Freedom for Tamils. The ruled became the rulers for the Tamils.

It is not a Terrorist problem but a struggle for freedom. Yes there were terror acts committed by the majority of the Terrorist acts on a larger scale was committed by the state on its minority Tamils.

Your Sinhala president (I always say Sinhala to emphasis the Sinhala agenda and when ever I say Sinhala or Budhist I am not putting them down but again empasis that the Srilankan government is there for the majority interest only) supports the freedom struggle of Palestinians and has said it publically in several places. If he can see their struggle whay cant he see the struggle of the Tamils who had their Tamil kingdom before.
