Moved house

I’ve been busy moving house to Vermont South, I’ve moved in with one of my mate. I have been driving around for my rehearsals and also had to clean up the old house and arrange things…
Last week I was watching SBS… they were showing the political situation there at the moment… if anyone wants to watch it… this is the link:

I’m happy at least this time some reporter went that far to do something about it, because nobody get or give any real news to he outside world, and nobody really knows what is going on, the news is only in Tamil, so usually the outside world just get the news from the government and they just believe what ever they hear from them. Even though the reporter didn’t go to all areas I’m glad that someone at least went there this time and did something like this.

Few days ago I was talking to my parents; they told me one of my (distance) cousin got killed (Shot) in Chavakachcheri - Jaffna – Sri Lanka by EPDP (they are one of the group working with Lankan Army). He went to UK about 6 years ago and was seeking asylum, but UK deported him 3 years ago, reason for that was he has no problem in Sri Lanka and he can live there, and after he was deported from UK he got married recently and had a kid last year. Can UK give his life back now? I’m not trying to blame it on UK, but I’m just so frustrated with what is happening in Lanka right now. All the bombing and shelling started again... and Government still trying to tell the outside world that they are protecting Tamils from LTTE. From my experiences, if there's no LTTE, there won't be any Tamils in Lanka by now.

Bloody Racists

I was at my work, on a break last week and one my college started talking about clubbing and said that he saw Cathy Freeman, and he said that she's not that good looking and then this girl; she goes "what you expect, she’s an Abo”, then she kept on talking about how Aborigines are and they are very ugly.. and then she said the reason English people killed Aborigines, because they were scared of those people who looked like gorillas and monkeys. I felt my blood pressure rose up when I heard her saying that. I couldn't be able to listen to her more, so I started telling her that English people came here because they wanted the land, and then told her, take India for example, about 200 years ago India was not so poor country in the world and it was one of the rich countries in terms of it's resources etc, but after British left, India became one of the poorest country, because they took everything. Which means that English people went to places because they wanted to get land/ and other wealthy stuffs from each country. They didn't start killing people because they were scared of the people they started killing people because they wanted the land and they wanted the precious things from those countries... I have this American college (non African background), he was telling her off as well... then she shut up.

Then yesterday I was watching current affair... this bloody Professor(English/Australian)... I can't even remember his name. He was saying that Australian shouldn't be getting African migrants, because they have highest rate of criminal records. They are very bad people and it is not safe to get more black people in Australia. I was thinking what the f@#$... There’s always crime if you take any communities. Professor was saying that he’s talking, because it’s the fact. The real fact is, he’s a bloody racist, and if you look at the English people few decades back, they had the highest crime rate; they captured countries, they killed/chopped millions of people. So can I say that we all have to be afraid of English people? Because they took Blacks as slaves and tortured them and killed millions of innocent people from so many different countries, but I wouldn’t like to say that and I don't agree that English people are like that in... But when they came to Australia, they killed the Aborigines, aren’t those facts? So does it mean all Australians (English) are killers and thief because they stole the land from Aborigines and killed them…..? So does it mean then you have to deport them to some other country? Because they not safe people to be around... The reason I’m asking these questions because, I got annoyed when that professor was talking about Africans.

The saddest thing was that professor wouldn't apologies for making that comment, he said he would rather go to jail than apologising, he said the reason for that is he was telling the truth so he doesn’t have to apologies to anyone. Then when I went to work today, the same girl was talking about it and she was saying, how good was that professor and he had the guts to tell the truth about the black people, and he got the statistics and he’s only talking the fact. I just wanted to slap her face; I just shut my mouth and walked away, because if I started talking like her, then it will become like a racial argument… with some people you can’t do anything. They are too stubborn to learn about other people and they so up about themselves, so you just can’t do anything but walk away. If it was somewhere else other than work place, I probably would’ve given it to her. Tell me what you think about this kind of people and what we can do about it. I welcome any kind of comments....
