Our transportation system, health system, etc. really sucks compared to them.

I'm in no way protecting our narrow minded politicians!

But bro, Our HEALTH, EDUCATION, TRANSPORTATION is all FREE and we still managed to keep them better than other countries in our region!

I'm glad that our politicians are at least not stupid enough to build Nuclear Weapons while half of the country is in dire straights!:rolleyes:

What if all the ROADS are privatized in order to provide better services, you would have to pay for TOLL too, let alone TOLL people can't even pay the BUS FEE now!!

MMM.. SL is a better country for living...i may say best. but politicians ruined it. politics ruined it. still we are suffering from that damn war. so i cant say it is better when comparing with other countries. but as sri lanklans... as A buddhist.... as A sinhalese SL isthe best place to us. no matter what you did in a foreign country, what you are.... even if you are a citizen of that country still you are a stranger.....

still SL is a better place to people who have big money.... if you have money every thing is there.....

according to my heart.... i wanna live in SL....
according to my mind..... it is hard to live there as a middle class person....

Yep, As CoolCartoon properly said...

My Heart says to Live in Sri Lanka
But my mind says to Live in Australia.

Why?

Heart: Sri Lanka is the place where you were born. Your friends/ family is there. And you get Koththu, Old Reserve, DCSL, Lion Larger there....

Mind: C'mon mate... You won't get all the things you get in here if you go to Sri Lanka! Most of all... will you get the stress free life and the peace of mind back @ SL? And you get what you pay for. People are not Selfish like in Sri Lanka. People value your ability whereas in Sri Lanka you have to kiss a politicians ass to go up. And you get better education for your kids. You don't need to worry or you don't have any fear about your girl/ wife coming home after 10pm alone. People don't try to harras your wife of daughters inside public transportation...

So I'm better off living in Australia :D Maybe after another 20 - 30 yrs, IF I have a saving of about $100,000,00 then I might think about going back and living in SL :)

Yeah but as transportation I was referring to the state of our Roads etc., keeping them in tip top condition is not a problem machang... if govt. call out a tender tomorrow for Highway maintenance 100 companies will give proposals!:rolleyes: but if implemented paarawal hondata thiyei but can an average Sri Lankan afford to pay toll each time you use the road? Inguru deela Miris gatta wage thiyei!! :lol::lol:

Politics? Aiyo!! no need to talk about the obvious machang! :lol::lol: If they lay the correct foundations now at least in another 3 decades we'll reap the benefits, we need a system that doesn't change with every president we get :rolleyes:

well even if da war end...
wat do you think da govenment would do to da amy...????
tell them to go back home...???

a major part which is seperated to da war from da budget is separated for da good will of da SL army....

so even after da is over we can't save a lot of money for development...
cuz there are a cupple of millons in the army right now
and it's a must dat we should treat them right


so ending da war is not a solution to make SL a better place to live


and when we talk about culture even today we han=ve one of da best cultures in da world....
no doubts about dat...
but the more the people find it difficult to get there daily meal...
the more they tend to forget the culture...
dats obvious

Can you tell me which army is the most experianced army in the whole world?
I'll bet my life .It is the SL army.So dont worry about finding jobs for SL Army.If not they can be dirrectly send to UN pease keeper army.Then they can be involved in many areas in Sri lankan develpment.

To a certain extent (unfortunately) Yes.
I completely agree with your point mate..
Go abroad do your degree...plus post grad. if you want..
Work for a few years...Find yourself a nice girl :P..Come to SL and settle down..
I mean, what the hell..? There's nothing like the Sri Lankan Culture..

Meet up on a saturday..watch a cricket match..have a few beers..
you know...life is all abt living...it's not working your ass off day in and day out just to go up in the career ladder...i totally agree, a person needs a secure income in order to live a comfortable life...but at the end of the day there's nothing like being happy and stress free ...

Yeah brother!
100% agreed

Machan is this your problem?
You cant let your wife coming home at 10.pm.
you need to kiss politician's ass to go up the ladder.
Your kids dont get enough education in here?

Come on man don't be insane.
In sri lanka you can have a respectable life with no trouble at all.
most of SL guyes work 20hours a day in a minor employment in Ausi and say ."we are enjoying our life here"

mistaken dude...
you can't send a whole 2 or 3 million to da un peace keeping processes....
even if you send them don't you think dat is a beginning of anther prob...
but these would international terrorist treats...not just LTTE...



and of course da SF,STF & COMMANDO forces are da best in da world...
in fact recently SF was named as da best commando force in da world officially...
and da SF is currently training Maldivian soilders in sri lanka...

but after all these atuff still da prob remains as before...
although people din see this...
wat wud the army do after war...???


ok they will have to stay alert even after they save da whole north...
cuz there would be minimal treats all around da island for a short while...
but after dat...????


well this is ma point...




sri lanka will not become a better place to live just because da war is over...
