[King of Ruin]

Did you just say politics and adults in the same sentence?

You can't be talking Australia.

 

[Blue Ratts]

The captains last stand, knowing that another challenge closer to the election is inevitable. Let them eat each other alive.

MEB I just remembered you're having your wisdom teeth out today. I hope you are not in too much pain and HBF is looking after you. Remember to go easy on the ice-cream.

A lot of the Balinese people are worried that Australians will abandon Bali again (executions) similar to what happened with the bombings.

If a foreign country has a law and punishment for that law and someone goes over and breaks it they should face the consequences.

They didn't just make up the punishments last week been around for a long time.

 

[HBF]

My dog is obsessed with all dead tree branches. He cannot walk by one without stopping for a good 30 seconds to investigate.

Completely agree. This whole recent commotion about the Bali 9 members and their upcoming penalty is doing my head in.

The death penalty is barbaric and IMO should only be handed down to those who commit the most heinous of crimes, which drug trafficking is not.

However, they are the laws of that country and anyone who lives there, or travels there, is governed by those laws.

There's a very simple way to avoid facing the death penalty over there. Don't be a ****ing idiot and get involved in drug trafficking, or indeed break any law which has that as a punishment.

Chan and Sukumaran made a terrible error in judgement. Harsh as the penalty may be, they have to face the consequences for their actions and the prescribed penalty for that crime is the death penalty.

 

[Sublime]

Similar to when a kid gets caught smoking, their parents sit them down and make them smoke the whole pack as a punishment.

Same should be done to the Bali 9. Sit them down and make them eat 8.3kg of heroin they were going to give to others.

 

[Mister Carlton]

The death penalty is barbaric. They don't deserve this and their family doesn't either.

Keep them in jail because they are helping others.

 

[Mister Carlton]

We pump that much money into the economy over here. We are driving on roads that were built from Australian money.

 

[Jatz]

That's essentially the same as shooting them haha.

 

[Jeremias]

That may be the case, but it certainly doesn't exonerate them from any responsibility nor does it make them exempt from the laws of that country.

 

[Sublime]

I don't agree with the death penalty at all, it's not a proven deterrent and it is barbaric and archaic.

That said, they went to a country with TONS of warnings saying that you will DIE if you bring drugs here and they went there fully knowing this. Regardless of the fact whether this is a good law or anything, they knew the penalties when going. I'm not going to go jump into a pit full of poisonous snakes that is surrounded by signs warning me of imminent death and then complain when no one would give me an antidote.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Spare not release. That's all I want and what a lot of others want too.

 

[Sublime]

That's what a majority of people want i'd say. Whether that happens is anyones guess.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Mercy.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Really don't rate the Germans and Russians at the hotel. They stay here for 4 months of the year and walk around like they own the place.

Have to get up early to grab seats otherwise by 7 nothing by the pool or the beach.

 

[Mister Carlton]

It's quiet over here though. No Aussies which is always a plus.

 

[Sublime]

Mercy.

Yep!

Can understand why people think otherwise though, they knew exactly what they were risking when they did what they did. It's easy to take responsibility for something after the fact, especially something this big.

Mr C I take it you are somewhere nice on holidays.
