kotthuyaka said:Agreed. But there's more direct corruption (power hunger) in SL than in many other more developed countries, sadly.
x-pert said:I'm not telling Sri Lankan politics is great, but,
Sri Lanka is much better compared with countries like Zimbabwe, Uganda, Madagaskar and the like.
kotthuyaka said:True, but progress isn't made by comparing yourself with the lowest of low. It's made by first realising where you really are in the grand scheme of things, then aspiring to be the best you can be.

x-pert said:True. But can't forget that Sri Lanka is a 3rd world country. And Sri Lankan government (Irrespective of the party) is doing good even with a war within the country compared with other 3rd world countries like Tibet, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan etc. Corruption wise I'm not sure about the other countries honestly. But I believe Governments should stop their corruption. But it is really hard to do when you have all the power you know...
About the grand scheme... Well first of all Sri Lanka should try to become the best among the rest of the 3rd world countries. Then let's think about the grand scheme![]()
