Morons: 1 & 2

Morons #1: The 9 Australians caught smuggling drugs in Bali last night.

For the last month here in Australia our news has been dominated by the story of Shapelle Corby.  Everyone of them was filled with words like Bali, Drugs, Death Penalty and Firing Squad.

Yet these morons tried their luck anyway, strapping eight kg of Heroin to themseleves before attempting to jump on a plane home.

No doubt they'll plead thier innocence, but hopefully it will fall on deaf ears.

I have no time for drug traffickers, and Australian or not, they deserve whatever the Balinese caught decides.  There will be arguements over whether the local penatly (death) should apply, or whether they should be hauled home and locked up in a local jail.  I know there is a very real human side to all of this, but these people are scum.  Stupid, dumb scum.  They deserve what is coming to them.

Morons #2:  South Melbourne & Preston Soccer Fans

A Sunday night soccer game between South Melbourne, largely supported by Melbourne's Greeks, and the Preston Lions, backed almost by the Macedonian community,  become a mass riot that required Policeon Horseback to break the angry mob up.   

The disgraceful clash reflected historic enmity between the neighbouring European countries. The simmering tensions boiled over as they threw bottles and flares at each other until mounted police arrested ring leaders and, herded the anrgy mob back over fences.

So now future games are likely to be played behind closed doors in empty stadiums.  How stupid is that!  Competitive sport inside a empty, locked stadium.

These morons need to understand that here in multicultural Australia it is not the place to pursue your imported ancient grudges.

Agreed and agreed. However, do they deserve the death penalty?

That will be a question that is debated over and over. Whilst we take the view as a country against applying the Death Penalty

But I think that they deserve to be punished by whatever the Indonesians decide. That might mean the death penalty. That is the law in Indonesia. And this mob of nine would be bigger fools that we think if they didn't know of such consequences.

Herion is a lethal product. It extracts a dreadful price from those who use it. And those who choose to make money from its sale and distribution to vulnerable people must be aware of the risks they take.

Be what may.

You are right. And considering what we do know now. That our goverment played a big role in handing them over. Bloody wild stuff though. I have travelled extensively through Asia and the world and just know that you shouldn't go near that stuff.
I guess they will have to play the cards they have been dealt with and see where they go.
Does take some of the media attention away from Iraq though.
