making sure the people survive and begin to rebuild in the after-math said event has NOTHING to do with the way their government deals with those it believes to have broken the law.

Personally, I can't believe the way you spend time picking apart wums posts. It's like you don't want him to make a good point. You'd rather be an anal prick than to actually look at what's happening. You stop all conversation with minor details and start going off.
You ARE a STUPID FU**.
I'm not going to listen to anything that you have to say from now on because I know that the capacity of knowledge that you hold is one of discrimination and corrupt "liberalism". You don't bother looking at the real facts..you'd rather sit their and talk about how it felt to grow up in a muslim regime and how sad it is that these kids don't know any better. How their politics prevents justice.
Boo fuckin' hoo~
I'm strongly opposed to the idea that a country's borders can be a death sentence to any person who would like to smoke some ganga on a beach.

And what..now your idiot brain is going to twitch and say "it's not a death sentence."
I'd like to see you go to jail for JUST 20 years until you are fourty-seven and walk out into the world like your life hasn't been taken from you.

FUCK YOU AUTO*

:D

read the articles.....why don't you?

she was convicted of importing 9 lbs of pot (found in her surfboard bag). there was some evidence that she was innocent, just an unwitting stooge, but it was HER bag they found it in, and that has to be seen as pretty compelling evidence too. they don't take kindly to dope smugglers in indonesia, and she was convicted, so=20 years. this wasn't just some girl smoking a doob ont he beach, this was someone with 9lbs in her bag.

he was convicted of making inflammatory statements that may have led to other people committing crimes. sentecne, 30 months.

sure, they were trying to link him to the actual conspiracy, but they didn't have enough evidence to put him there. is he innocent? i'd say probably not, but he's innocent until proven guilty.

why are we even comparing the two?

He was found guilty of a charge of what basically amounted to aiding people who he knew were terrorists and reasonably suspected were up to no good. He was sentenced to 30 months for that crime. I’d hardly say that was an inappropriate penalty for what is ultimately a minor crime.

under the RICO statute he'd be fucked.

Returning from a trip to Bali that had a stop-over in Tokyo, I was questioned, upon retrieving my bags from the carousel, by CSIS.

He questioned me about the usage, possession, and concealment of cocaine.

I told him I've only ever "tried" it and didn't like it and, no, to all other questions.

Then, he turned on the girl that I was travelling with.

I split.

I find out about 2 weeks later that, said travel companion had previously done hard time in prison for being a mule for another smuggling gig.

!

Guilt/suspect by association?

Been there!

I don't really sound like this unless I find that the people that I'm talking to don't comprehend anything that I'm saying..:)

If for instance I was talking with someone that could understand first off that a guy that is connected down a line of thousands of people talking about the bombing before it happened and didn't warn the world of it's fate...that my friend is a terrorist.

There are thousands of these people that are doing the exact same thing that supports the killing of innocent travellers...they all talk about it and do nothing. They don't call the embassy of a liberal partied government...like any normal person would do. They don't even go to jail for two years for keeping their mouths shut about a mass murder.
WHAT MESSAGE DOES THAT SEND??

not a good idea too admit to having used it



did you know that a u.s border guard has the ability to ban you from entering the u.s for 5 years just for admiting to having smoked a joint?

The comparison actually reveals the whole reasoning behind the idea that Indonesia doesn't care about destroying a life that wasn't harming anyone to send a message of "anti-marijuana laws"...but on the other hand..if your a bloody terrorist they slap you on the wrist and say bad boy* tell your friends to be more careful about where they do business.

That* is why.

Why Care ? Unless It Happens To You ?

Fuck That Bitch Mang She Had It Comin' !

[Grapes]

"I used cocaine"

"but??? I didn't like it??"

Seems pretty legit to me. Although upon being asked "have you ever used it?" (as opposed to "do you have any on you right now") an equally legit response is probably "None of your business".

I bet gnosis got a better response with what he chose than he would have with my option though.

[Leviathan]

What you just said right here is that the rights of "one of their own" are far more substantial than a person coming from Australia who has no defined evidence in the smuggling of herb because it'd be dangerous?

Its called the Ethics of Care

"We each should exercise special care for those with whom we are concretely related by attending to their particular needs, values, desires and concrete well-being as seen from their own personal perspective, and by responding positively to these needs, values, desires and concrete well-being, particularly of those who are vulnerable and dependent on our care"

Do you honestly think that the money you spend on weed stays within our borders? You do realised it gets traded for cocaine down south right? You also realise ,I'm sure, that cocaine comes from places like Columbia that has severe human rights issues as well right? OMG WTF! You Terrorist!

Money I spend on weed.
If you knew me...you'd know that I am quite the little trooper when it comes to being organic. I don't smoke "random" weed. I don't light up weed that I don't know where it came from..it's gross anyways. There is nothing to regulate the amount of chemicals a person uses..I prefer to take my own risk rather than have someone take the risk and create a product that isn't to my standards.

LOL @ traded for cocaine down south!

I was reading through that thinking Leviathan is like the dopest dude of life!

And then I saw the name at the bottom and was like...yeah...good quote..

I wish it were that way...I wish that the personal perspective of a countries citizens could be brought to life under one rule and within one border..but it's not. So yeah..sounded great for a minute.

This is a standard!

_WHY_ do you think your fellow 'tards are sniffin' lines @ gatherings and parties?!

Because it became CHEAP over the last few years!!!

None of this disco-era coke that was a status symbol, due to it's vacuouse existance and exorbitant prices...

You're daft!

But, nice effort, anyway, on calling "the scene"!
