Sukumaran and Chan

[Eagleburger]

I did the unthinkable. I opened a news piece about this, because I thought it was all finished. Before I caught myself I had clicked on a third article and my bottom lip was trembling.

Where are the jokes? Very cruel to wave treats in someones face and not offer them.

Abbott is pandering to anti-foreigner sentiments rising in Australia.


Its just politics...they are all guilty of it, regardless of country...etc...etc

Abbot is just being a politician, for what ever mileage is available.

Plenty of anti-foreign sentiments among the uneducated, as mentioned here,

In my defense, I sat through that (roughly 12 hour) maelstrom of white trash cock rock (Skid row were also on the bill) because one of her friends dropped out and I scored a free ticket.
One highlight was Rose Tattoo, with a typically shitfaced and entertaining Angry reminding us you couldn't get a drink.
Skid row decided to 'help' this situation when they came on by handing out stubbies to a lucky few punters jammed against the security barriers down the front.

This gesture of humanity was rewarded by Rose refusing to take the the stage until all the bottled had been returned and counted. Yes, seriously.
He then proceeded to dispense a few red roses to some lucky ladies in the crowd followed by rebuking some guys who grabbed at them, probably only to eat the petals or suck moisture from the stems, by calling them a bunch of 'cock sucking pussy *******'. Oh happy day.

I've also come around somewhat to you're musical preferences and can often be found in my bedroom carving Swans into my wrist by candle light with a state school issued compass.

I also went to that gig. Was OK, but no beer? Never again.
I remember Axl's tanty and the delay to the show. Would have been a riot if he had stormed out. He would have needed to get in the chopper pretty quickly.

Can you imagine how much money the Government has spent on this ? That money could have saved many, many innocent lives here in Australia, especially those of disadvantaged children. Makes me sick to the stomach that drug traffickers are treated like national heroes. Yes, the death penalty is probably a too harsh a penalty for their crimes, but this case does not deserve the Government (spent $$$) and media attention (made $$$) it has received. And then you have people calling to remove foreign aid. So, what they are asking for, is for poor disadvantaged Indonesian families who have no control over their Goverment to suffer, because of two Australian drug dealers who have committed a serious crime in their country. Its just horrible and embarrassing.

National heroes? I hope not, but this is coming from a nation that still aggrandises fkn crims like Ned Kelly coz he was a rebel.

As for -WALLACE-'s take on things, not sure if ignorant or baiting. Time will tell if he's the next to be banned...

Still wondering whether the government of the moment influences the media?

Who in turn influence the public, who in turn influence the government. It's a vicious circle

 

[malt and barley blues]

The actual events influence the media who then ramp it up, Government's take is quite rightly that the people are being influenced by the media so take a popular stance, maybe we should start voting for the media we follow, we would still have left, right and indifferent.

All decent governments should put every effort into preventing their citizens being shot, poisoned, electrocuted, hanged, beheaded etc, by other governments.

I'm all for these people spending the rest of their lives rotting in jail as convicted criminals, but being taken out in the middle of the night, strapped to a crucifix and having a bullet put into their chest by government employees and it being done in a way that is as insensitive to the families as could possibly be imagined, is wrong at every level.

There appears to be some kind of pathetic attempt by certain sections of the media to turn them into heroes. They were criminals, they ****** up and they paid.

It's how ****** up Indonesia's way of making them pay was, that some people are not happy with.

Ahh...the good old days of making a tattoo gun from an old cassette player motor and a sewing needle and using ink made from a mixture of vodka and ink from a Bic pen...

I entirely agree with you there not only did they pay with their lives but what ***** me is they have served 10 years incarcerated in an Indonesian gaol and then get shot so they paid twice, why not let them serve another 5 or 10 years, they were doing a lot more good than bad.
Why not send the bones back to Indonesia in another 10 years so they can burn them just to make sure, like they did with the witches in medieval times, being that seems to be the period they are living in.
​I am sure I could be for capital punishment in the right circumstances but taking into consideration what happened here, surely 15 years is appropriate.
