I mean, 8 kg of Heroin is more than enough for a death sentence!<br /><br />What I'm confused about is why the Australian media is ready to sweep that fact under the rug to, and I may be reading too much into this, reassert the narrative that Indonesia is inferior to Australia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-77549046970948737332015-05-01T12:24:55.727+10:002015-05-01T12:24:55.727+10:00The mint julip is delicious. :)

But I do find it odd how so many western countries scream "barbarianism" at the very though of it yet cheer "progress" while the innocent (unborn) are being ripped a part in the womb. <br /><br />I hope the men found Christ, I really do. But even Christ warned us there are consequences to our sins. Some of us will face ours while we are still on earth, some in the afterlife. <br /><br />A fine article my dear friend:).

The latter cause misery pain and death to others for their own greed. The misery and pain does not only affect those who succumb to the drug but also their family members and friends.

Mind you, I have had stalkers ! I seem to have plenty of readers too.<br /><br />Relationships with our neighbours can be very compex. It does not help when 'australians' deliberately flout their laws, particularly when their laws are so similar to ours. One has sympathy even for fools who make mistakes. Deliberate stupidity calls for less fellow-feeling.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-45345953065608041022015-04-30T18:17:31.828+10:002015-04-30T18:17:31.828+10:00I don't come here often anymore, never did, th...I don't come here often anymore, never did, that was my daughter who became fascinated by your posts, and she is now overseas . So your highlighting of my "visits" in the sidebar, as if I was a crazy stalker, was news to me. It also made it look like you had a single reader, which was probably not your intention.<br /><br />This comment won't see the light of day, I know, but I was moved to write because, just for once, I agree with you. I'm not a fan of the death penalty, but these guys knew what they were doing, and they were fully aware of the punishment that awaits drug traffickers in Indonesia. You can't get off any aircraft that has landed anywhere in that country, without being told that the death penalty is in place for drug smugglers. It is crystal clear.<br /><br />I have a great deal of sympathy for these young men who made a mistake, but they took their chances, and the level of outrage that has followed their executions, knocking the deaths of many thousands of innocents In Nepal into the second slot on the Australian news, is ridiculous.<br /><br />Nick<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
