Don't show IRA-style images to convince me someone is unfairly discriminated against please. That's like showing the two towers burning in a pro-Islam video.
No, this actually shedding some light on the Tamil situation in India and Sri Lanka.
But then again, who gives a shit about the Tamils, right?
So instead, she uses a minority like red heads in the USA....you see? bring it a little closer to home, and then see what people think.
Should this kind of genocide be allowed in this day and age?

I've been to Sri Lanka and have Sri Lankan friends.
Without your response I wouldn't have got the connection.
And having lived in a country that suffered terrorism for a long time, personally I don't think it works.

Catholics? as in all Catholics??? What utter bullshit. If you had said
"Extremeist Islam has nothing on extremist Catholics."
I would have remained silent, but wow. What a frickin stupid comment.

Whatever.
My whole family are Catholics, and I lived through the Atrocities.

I probably should have written Extremist Christians/ Catholics but I thought that at least went without saying, whereas many people still believe that every Muslim is a terrorist.

Sorry WHIP. I should have posted some url's too.


I enjoyed reading the comments and the reaction that it got. Vimeo is showing 100 of 781 comments on the first page. Only one person toward the bottom of the page mentioned Sri Lanka.
