May i remind northerners that when Obote was in power, he was President of all Uganda. Besides the whole exercise of democracy is about freedom of expression of ideas and/or opinions without fear of reprisal.....you guys seem to only have an ear for good things about UPC and Obote, anybody with an opposing view is a "northern hater", is "enjoying the blood of your folk" and should maybe be killed (as yoabang was threatening me once). If you notherners don't want a forum where all divergent views can be expressed by Ugandans without threats and intimidation, then please change the address of this forum from ugandanet to northernet or obotenet and stop pretending that you are democrats open to all views.
Finally stop thinking that southerners owe you love, nobody owes anybody love, i don't expect everybody to love me. I certainly am not seeking northern love (or hate), when i express my views on this forum. All i am interested is letting my opinion be heard and also learning about someone elseses. In America, Britain, Cananda ad France, everybody doesn't necessarily love everybody, i'm sure there is racism in Canada (Mulindwa can varify that). Hate and/or love is not necessarily the basis of a good political system, because hate and/or love can never be eliminated from mankind. A good political system however, is measured by the freedoms (protected by law) which enable people to freely express themselves without fear of reprisals, in other words freedom to hate and love. If the basis of this forum is to judge who loves or hates northerners and in extension who should be targetted and who should not, then southerners (or people with divergent views from those of northerners and UPC) should not be partaking in dialogues on this forum.
I personally (once) saw this forum as an avenue for Ugandans (at home and abroad) to exchange ideas and get to learn from each other and in the process build bridges, but some people are just hell bent on breeding hatred to the point now where it has clearly become a NORTH VS SOUTH ISSUE. POEPLE ARE NOW BEING CATIGORIZED AS NOTHERN LOVERS OR HATERS BASED ON THEIR OPINIONS WHICH IN MOST CASES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NORTH IN GENERAL. WE MUST PUT AN END TO IT. MULINDWA OR WHOEVER IS IN-CHARGE OF THIS FORUM SHOULD STEP IN AND BRING SOME ORDER BACK INTO THE DIALOGUES WE HAVE ON THIS FORUM.
