Pro Demos, "How dare you do this to not only our business but to our children" We have worked hard to make sure the stories of hardships we hear from our grandparents, dont come to our children. But, thanks to you, our work is now even harder. I do not trust your lot one bit with any decision in Parliament that would effect my family. - Ese

The captain that we should blame in 16/11 are the People's Representatives who fueled those poor people with hate and jealousy. Let's say that US needs time to rebuild IRAQ and Tonga needs time to change. - Takaunove

In the Navy when a ship runs aground, the Captain of the ship is responsible. It doesn't matter that it happened in the middle of the night and he was sleeping in his bunk. This analogy can also be applied to Tonga (the ship), the King (Captain), and the riots (the grounding). - Joe Smith

The main issue is whether or not "Black Thursday" was caused by the Democratic Movement and its leaders. To do this, Uata set out to complicate it by blaming another group of people, the Tongans overseas. I think most Tongans overseas and at home know that the Democratic Movement and its leaders are to be blamed for the "Black Thursday." - Siosaia Fatani
