I have a moral duty to reply to your comments. I stopped every thing to answer your points. Why Am I in Canada?
Not In Sri Lanka. Because I was made refugee in my own motherland. There are 500,000 people like me all over the world. Why? I ‘ll tell you when a Tamil comes to my business place with a greivance, I job is offered or a cheque is written. Why? My people were thrown into a whirlpool by who? You answer it for yourself.
Do you know how many families are struggling without knowing which direction to go. Fortunately I met the right people who gave me a good start so I made it. It is my moral duty and turn to help my people. Do you know how many singhalese are struggling in Sri Lanka? Our next step is help them. What have you done to your people lately?
Don’t you ever mess around with me, I am well grounded in my convictions and clear conscience, Also I have the constitution of Canada behind me to protect me.
I don’t worry about by freedom being denied in Canada. People know the charter of rights and they respect it in their own interest. I respect you in my selfish interest.
If I don’t respect you then you don’t have to respect me.
That is bad for both of us, so we in our own self interest we respect each other. This is advanced form of democracy.
Can you please ask your Honourable President Mahinda Rajapaksa to accept what you accepted? I Salute you for having searched your moral compass and came to the right conclusion. We have another 25 million to convince.

But remember that I am your freind, for hatred wastes my mind time. Hatred has no place in the modern society,
I yield to my opponent in my own self interest.

Don’t ever wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it.

Subra Massey,

I find the tone of your questions quite condescending… but let me answer you as best as I can – speaking as a Sinhalese who you obviously think less capable than you ‘Entrepreneurial’ Tamils. Obviously from your tone and assertions you seem to think you people are somehow Genetically superior to us… no need to answer that question as we already know how you Colonial Lackies talk about our so-called Failed State.

But to your questions, I say Yes, I consider all Sri Lankans as Equal. I don’t need to justify myself to Racists like you who feel that you need your own Racially Pure Homeland do I? I have always advocated One Sri Lanka, without consideration for Religion or Race. A Sri Lankan is a Sri Lankan, but then let me ask you…. where do your Loyalties lie? If Eelam was a Possibility somehow I see you becoming a Tamil Nationalist over a Sri Lankan whereas if after this war this current government would return to the injustices of a few decades ago you would find me an ardent Advocate AGAINST the government… somehow I don’t see you doing the same on your side. The reality that we all know is that Tamils have arrogant contempt fot he Sinhalese from the time of independence from the British. Tell me about how GG Ponambalan and other Colonial Tamil Politicians wanted 50% of the Island for the Tamil Minority – he obviously represented the Tamil mindset at the time.

Your Donkey Diaspora encourages your children to Learn English and Integrate into Western countries and Cultures but not Sinhalese? Which culture do you think offers more concessions to Tamils? UK, Canada or Sri Lanka? Is Tamil a recognized language in the Canadian Constitution? Do they print Tamil on any currency in Canada or UK? Can your children study in Tamil Medium schools in These countries…. yet you still think Sri Lanka is so unfair to Tamils? And you think when this war is over that Tamils will bring the Money? Right,… because you think you people are so successful and superior to the rest of we Sri Lankans….? What Sickening Arrogance you posses. Sri Lanka is doing badly as a country because of war with the LTTE. You support the people who f**k up our country then have the audacity to say that the country is F**ked up!? But let me ask you what 25 years of Single-minded support for the LTTE have yielded for Tamils? You have lost everything…. you live as Orphans in Western countries and you will die alone there…. And the countless Tens of Thousands of Tamil youths you have allowed to sacrifice themselves for your unattainable cause … what becomes of them? Will they be remembered by you or simply forgotten…? Who will you blame for that?

Thank you for your input.
My dear friend the world is one country now. We are all connected. Economically the corporations are ahead of the governments. I think in the future the function of the goverment will be localized and their power will not go beyond the political borders, but the corporation transend all barriers. The middle east has also joined the international community. The beauty about corporations is that they can create wealth but the governments can only tax. So the survival of the government depends on the corporations. Corporations are well managed because their mandate is to produce goods and show profit. Just watch Bloomberg business news and you will get the idea.
That is the back drop from which I beleive that if we can find ways to offer employment to people and credit to businesses to expand then we can solve this carnage.

Accoring to my calculations there are 25,000 square miles of land in SriLanka, at the rate of 640 acres per square miles we have 16000000 acres of land, at the current value of $100,000 per acres Sri Lanka has a potential wealth of $1.6 Trillion. So we can issue credit up to 75% of it, $1.2 trillion. The total US net worth is $100 Trillion, So I can set up a banking system that will grant cerdit to people who want to start businesses and within 20 years we will be another Singapore or Japan or Dubai. Sri Lankan are much better people than most others.
Instead of counting bullets, bombs, (dead) bodies lets build a modern nation of Sri Lankans. My belief is if we have something to lose we will be conservative and prudent, but when we have nothing to lose we kill each other, Remember a life is a one time gift and we should not kill or hurt anyone but let them live their full life till the creator decides take it back! Sound phylosophical? No, I can do it. We need a leader and i going to spearhead a movement to change the direction of thinking among the Sri Lankans.

Singhalism, Tamilism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Nationalism they mean nothing but when i am hungry I need food, when I am sick I need medicine, When it rains I need a home, when i want to travel I need a car, When I want to call I need a telephone,
When I need to dress I need clothes. That is the way to think. Religion, Language, Race do not give you life but they give you moral direction. I hope you understand where I am coimng from. Lets join hands and make the next affluent nation on earth. I always wanted to do this, nation building.

You may wish to start the healing process, but are the sinhalese ready to start the healing process? Who are the moderates you are talking about? Will they be allowed to make any changes? Mind you they have to safeguard themselves from the “White Van”

It would be Herculean task to change the entire system (including the judicial system)in Sri Lanka. They are used to tow the line of the party in power for their survival.

There are people who are thriving in the war situation. Do you think they would like the war to end? Who will take care of the paramilitaries, armed thugs, private armies of the politicians?

Nowadays the most practiced treatment for cancer is surgery. For couples who cannot live together is to get a divorce. Most couples remain as friends even though they are divorced. I think that is the best solution for the Island of Sri Lanka. Two seperate Governments in the island. This way atleast the Tamil state will succeed.

When a government bombs and kills its own citizens, it is not democracy.

When a section of the population cannot move freely in his/her own country, it is not a democracy.

When murder, rape, dissappearance,arrest and imprisonment without reason, of a section of the population goes on, it is not democracy.

In addition to the above serious crimes, there are so many other undemocratic things happening in Sri Lanka with the blessing of the government itself.

Basically Sri Lanka is a FAILED STATE!!
