Ah, I got ya - I thought you were supporting Mag's argument that the environment or overcrowding is responsible for the high death toll. |
no no no....it's all about the spread of information to warn residents. in essence, the government of burma is at fault.
anyway, what made you think i was supporting his argument? south Florida is pretty heavily populated, yet, only 65 people died in one of the strongest hurricanes ever to make landfall. |

I was arrested in a court house for expressing my opinion, in a non illegal way, and force medicated - this is North America. You have this sense your own country is all perfect, yet just try to stage an "unauthorized" protest and see what happens. In most western countries you need to get a permit - usually involving money, to even have your "free expression".
As far as your links it very much prooves how you are being critical - yet places like the US and Canada attacked communists for their beleifs, imprisoned them, and the CIA or even the RCMP still activy does "creeps" activities against individuals they feel are trouble for their agenda - yet not actually criminal, even illegally kidnapping and torturing .. civillians.
Maybe you need to take a closer look at your own nations evil deeds, injustices and corruption before you attack another state.
Also your sources arn't credible -- especially if you claim this country is "not inviting of foreign visitors". Unless you've seen this happen and it isn't the CIA behind it, US blackops or British SAS operating illegally in other countries as is common place for them, like much of the terror and mass death - by chemical weapons or sanctioned purges, economic disruption or just outright twisted acts by Australian SAS against indiscriminate villages for the hell of it.
Take a hint, attacking this nation will not help your agenda it will only spread hate - if you think you don't live in a police state think again.. most of this world is a police state, and it just happens that developing countries arn't all gloss, they are bloody and hardship bearing.. if it wasn't this military junta - who do you think would be running it-- some governor who isn't their own culture by an occupational force? How not military rule is that - or what about the war the british fought against them, killing them, because... oh because they arn't being ripped off enough in trade...
These people faced brutal treatment by the colonial empires.. drug trade of the americans.. then once they kicked out the corrupt influences.. you attack them for securing their nation.
Try to see the whole picture not the propaganda you are fed. |
yeah, burma is just like the west! |

Well, youre probably too busy being full of anti-american hate to appreciate the nature of the name. But, if you think its ok for military dictatorships to go round changing names willy-nilly then that just shows how blind you are in the face of your anti western rhetoric.
good luck with your revisionism. |

the Myanmar issue is very sad indeed..... |

I would like to officially go on record as blaming both the West and climate change for the actions of the Myanmar junta in both the seizure of UN aid and their refusal to distribute it to the victims of this tragedy. The thousands of unnecessary deaths that will surely follow, due not to aid being available, but to the unwillingness of the Myanmar government to accept and allow its distribution is surely the direct fault of Western foreign policy and global warming.
:rolleyes: |

PS I bet it has something to do with the men that are wearing dresses....
I bet they arn't easy to run in either.. |
that camera man was shot dead for taking pictures. and those people you say are 'rioters' are buddist monks protesting. do you know anything about buddism? i highly doubt the protest was violent or a real threat to the government. |
