in defence of m i a
she was trying to make a point about how people ignore problems that dont take place in their own backyard
of course you tube and universal music group is too blind to see this
and instead reacts to the violence aka killing kids bashing people up blowing them up
making them run through minefields
herding them into buses
rounding up redheads in the street
it is an obvious take of the situation the tamil tigers find themselves in
of being a people without a country
where the singhalese have all the good jobs and they speak english
so they have more opportunities for educational and employment advancement overseas
so the tamil tigers use child soldiers to defend themselves
this is wrong
just like lords resistance army in uganda
the childrens crusade in the middle east using european soldiers
so u could say born free is an echo of childrens crusade only with hoodies and bandanas covering the mouth instead of metal armor shields and swords
thankfully redheads are not on anybodys hitlist
unless u are a fanatical protestant in ulster that hates irish catholics
so m i a is basically just trying to wake us up of the idea of what is going on in our world
would we be as compassionate if there were child soldiers in our own neighborhood
i think we would
and she doesnt deserve to have her video taken down
especially when you tube abounds with sexual imagery
isnt this double standards
if u are "over 18" as in u tell the site u are which they have no way of verifying
u can view every pornographic image under the sun
and yet if u want to watch a kid getting blown to bits
this is controversial
strange twist of irony
u would think her own label would support her
i bet if it was animated she would have gotten away with it
but she probably wanted to make people care
and we can easily detach ourselves from something that has been hand drawn or created with computers
obviously she is not advocating we round up rangas and shoot them
she wants us to think about what is happening in the world
she is attempting to challenge our perception of what is a terrorist
would we be so dismissive if it was us '

although being selfless means less guilt attached to daily living
the ultimate goal for all of us is to be more like Jesus
