(Article: Food Insecurity in Jaffna)

Samuel (16 Jul. 2012)

if Tamils wanted food security they should have never taken up arms against the state.

Ranasinghe (16 Jul. 2012)

Samuel, Then why are the sinhalese people struggling for food too in poor areas? Did they take up arms too??

Please, let us not try to make fools out of ourselves by putting forth such boorish arguments.

Also, the rupee is sky rocketing. The prices of essential items are sky rocketing all over Sri Lanka. Do you know why? Because, so far we have been able to borrow and borrow by using LTTE threat to national security. Now, we have been forced to show progress in the aftermath of LTTE defeat. We cannot show it, because our leaders and ourselves are not adept in showing true economic progress. So, we need more lies and lies to survive, except the IC is not trusting us any more.

It is better to start embrace all Sri Lankans and chart a new cause rather than writing 'xenophobic' comments like the above you just wrote.
