The Burma situation is this: you have two factions of the Burmese
tribe having friction: the Monks are considered the 'spiritual' conscience of Myanmar, yet they extort, or expect contributions or alms the people to support their existence...the second faction: the military, which rules in government/security matters, and also extorts tribute payments from business men and peasants...for some reason the 'working agreement' between these two factions is out of whack now...cries of 'human rights' violations from the West are just a load of bullshit when dealing with an ancient tribal
nation/situation, and will produce/improve nothing, just like Bono, the millionaire corporate bullshit artist with his 'work' for Africans.

You're too stupid to realize that I was kind of agreeing with you.

Such a pity.

I thought it was pretty obvious that I was mocking a particular animal rights tool bag, but I guess you were too stupid to realize that.

What a sorry, sorry shame.

Ok, now that's stupid.



Note: I'm glad that you can't resist me.

Mocking and name calling is just what the military in Burma wants.

(Definitely not saying this is right, btw, just that it is a fact of life).
On a related note....
