    Rural farmers are hard working people with thin body and dark skin. However, this well healed protesters with clear full-length trouser marks of light skin is a give away of their first day at loincloths. They should have tanned their skin from a beautician before coming to protest.

    one of the warst protest in the world

    The size of the economy is depicted by the size of the loincloths.

    Chugum Monday, 02 December 2013 02:21 PM

    Do not see these farmers in the fields in loincloths. They wear short or a sarong. Nice. Soon the ordinary masses will march naked. The leaders are already naked.

    STRICTLY FOR ADULTS.

    disgusting poor mind

    Rubert Vanderkoon Monday, 02 December 2013 03:24 PM

    The guys who wound up these poor farmers would have wanted the wives of the farmers to join the protest as well. The message has not been transmitted properly.
