Boycott Bali

[idlewhile]

If the horrific murder of two Australians is carried out then we should boycott Bali and all things Indonesian.

We gave over a $billion dollars to this country after the tsunami, we prop then up with foreign aid and they spit in our faces.

They have  ignored all diplomatic attempts to mitigate their sentences and Watta a Joko has now signed the order to send them to the "killing Island" wouldn't want to kill them on Bali now would they, might upset the tourism business.

I'm appalled and disgusted, scared and frightened for these men and heartsick for their families.

Thanks for your kind thoughts. My thoughts are now with the condemned men  and their families.

 I will never give up the fight for the death penalty to be ended. If a person is facing life in prison and they request a humane death then I could support that.

I can respect your views.

But you cannot change the laws in other countries. Perhaps educating people about the brutal consequences that some countries have for crimes would be a more constructive?

All good.

Hey, look! We're all having an adult conversation.

Yes, agree.

I am staying out of this discussion.

Who else was? Any none drug smugglers? Who is Ben Quilty? And why should readers care what he has to say?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing that most people don't get in real life.

Ben Quilty is an amazing Australian artist. He was commissioned to paint our soldiers in  Iraq.

He has taught Sukamayran to paint over the last 3 or 4 years.

He is heartbroken and disillusioned at the treatment of these 2 young men. He has been a compassionate mentor to them both.

He said his final goodbyes last week and flew home to be at the public vigil.

Who is Ben Quilty? Anyone that needs to ask that knows nothing at all about one of the Australians due to be executed, nor the relevance of his Art degree. 😞
Unbelievable.

Were you talking to yourself?  Because I was long gone and you were the only person posting.

It is not your business whether I post or not.
