On both counts.
Darwin - Heh...<i>Sach</i> - Actually, no. On both counts.<br /><br /><i>Darwin</i> - Hehe yeah, you're right...and people only get the government they deserve, no?<br />As for a group that uses ethnicity as an eligibility criterion, I think that policy is acceptable for a lobbying group that's only concerned with the welfare of that particular group of people, but it's totally unacceptable for a political party that has aspirations to govern the entire country.<br /><br /><i>Serendib_Isle</i> - I totally agree with your comments on land ownership. To bring your examples closer to home, many Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans would be Indian, and Sri Lanka would belong only to the Veddahs!<br />And as for omitting the links, I wasn't about to give their website any more hits than I needed to write this post! :-)<br /><br /><i>aufidius</i> - You introduce a very interesting argument of radicalism feeding off opposing radicalism. I suppose it's a bit of a 'chicken and egg' situation with regards to the real cause. I hope your conspiracy theory is proven wrong, though!<br /><br />As for Sri Lanka being intellectually bankrupt, I'd say we've been that way for a long, long time.PseudoRandomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01993144590186704387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21657491.post-59733449340828880632009-10-05T20:18:23.891+01:002009-10-05T20:18:23.891+01:00Very wise to principally omit the links.

The BNP will die, how long it will take is hard to say, the day radicalism of any other ethnic group dies the radicalism of the BNP Ideology will die too. I dont have to say that I am against the BNP ideology, now thats quite obvious by all things written in my blog - but the BNP will always have reason to exist so long as the ethnically non british/or even the supposedly original british behave in manners which may be "culturally" un-british.<br /><br />One radical ideology complements the other, with tamil nationalism in the north ceasing to exist (momentarily or not is hard to say) sinhala radicalism in the south is fast running out of options to exist, the JVP and JHU are rapidly losing reasons or targets to attack - so their only means of survival is to create another radical front - call me a conspiracy theorist, but i wont be surprised if in Sri Lanka some Muslim mafia group is portrayed as a Jihad group to necessitate survival of the JHU/JVP.<br /><br />I had to take that diversion to explain my point - BNP will always exist, with the same name or another the BNP ideology will linger for generations to come, and the only way it can be crushed is by eradicating reasons for its survival.<br /><br />When a society is intellectually bankrupt nationalism will be rampant. Every time in history when there has been a semblance of nationalism it has always been teh result of the society being intellectually bankrupt.Just look at Sri Lanka now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155386158563740075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21657491.post-74145390337020150392009-10-02T21:49:16.172+01:002009-10-02T21:49:16.172+01:00Well, the sun has set on the British Empire and it...Well, the sun has set on the British Empire and it is slowly falling in to the abyss. British politics have gone to the dogs – corruption reigns morally and physically. These theories of land ownership is rubbish; its just like the Jews claiming Palestine. Where, or at which century, do we draw the line? If we turn back the clock, Australia belongs to the aborigines and America belongs to the (Red) Indians. I think the parties that are built on petty politics and personal agendas should be banned, wherever they are – be it in the UK, Sri Lanka or Australia.<br /><br />Pathetic.<br /><br />And thank you for not including the links.Serendib_Islehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762178709566907782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21657491.post-25232224982972047762009-10-01T09:51:50.750+01:002009-10-01T09:51:50.750+01:00The BNP are cunts.

I can't say I'm surprised people vote for them because there are plenty of stupid people in this country (or world for that matter!). Hey back in the day the Germans elected a certain Mr Adolf remember?<br /><br />Any group that defines itself and excludes others based on something the members never had any say over (such as race and ethnicity) get my goat. I guess that's why I'm not a racist but I can be somewhat 'religion-ist'.Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662013387101984384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21657491.post-87052611222660337892009-10-01T02:33:09.315+01:002009-10-01T02:33:09.315+01:00You can think of you as a Kalu Suddha.
