Then again, you are still all butt-hurt that your second-hand opinion about a country you have never been to wasn't just accepted as gospel by someone that has been going there for the best part of fourty years.
You are such a little ..... - I can't believe you carry a grudge over something as inconsequential as you being a ....... know-it-all over something you know nothing. You have just proven what a silly little fanny you really are..
Why would I be at all dismayed when your only recourse when you are challenged is to say you are right because you just are?.
As I said previously, I have been attending gatherings of the Sri Lankan community in Sydney, and once for that matter in Melbourne where the community is even larger, for the last 25 years, and I agree that the Sri Lankans of my acquaintance are among the most friendly and welcoming in disposition of any people you could meet, as you say from your broader experience. I also don't think there is any terrorism from the Tamils any more, there being few if any Tamils of a belligerent nature remaining. I am sure tourists are not in any way targeted by anyone either.
However, when I told my Sri Lankan best friend and business partner that I had been reliably informed about the true nature of things in Sri Lanka by a man who is always right, he continued to maintain that relatives, friends and acquaintances of his who are no longer extant, some of whom I had met, remained dead. If you really believe that one of the most notoriously corrupt third world governments in existence, of whom many questions are being asked internationally concerning the final stages of their civil war, allow their more questionable activities to be freely reported in the local press you are excessively naive.
I am guessing you are also going to tell me that you believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, and that the Murdoch press as one example are never driven by agendas, in Australia or elsewhere, and always behave completely ethically.
