I find this totally "bizarre".

What next;  statues in Martin Place or maybe a public holiday on the anniversary of their deaths?

Thankyou for your support folks

People do not have to be drug addicts - like most things in life - it is "choices'"  be it  bad/good at the time!  People need to take account for their own stupid ridiculous actions!   You cannot blame the "dealers" - you cannot blame the "addicts" - they both need/feed off each other!!  Without "each" of them - theworld would be "drug free" !  Sorry .............just my opinion ...................

What irritated me the most was this - a TV reporter stated upon th arrival of the two bodies frm Bali - said "....and they arrived without any ceremony whatsoever".......blah blah"Really - they should get a brass band - flag draped coffins?  What was expected?

The more drugs on the street the cheaper it gets.

Lack of supply puts it beyond the working classes income.

True!  Is that why so many have turned to "Ice"?  Heard on TV he oher day it's pretty cheap....?

I entirely agree with Foxy  people need to be responsible for their own actions. Unfortunately with the rise of the Nanny State it's always someone else's problem., 

Geez Pete - startin' to feel  "all warm n fuzzy" - too many people "agreeing" with me lately?  Something going on I don't know about?  lol lol lol ...... :-) :-)

YES they are using drugs

Don't you think people should be responsible for their own actions Davey.

I seem to recall you complaining about Aboriginals living next door and 'they' doing nothing about it

With the two executed I keep an open mind, they're gone now, if they were genuinely changed,  and not just for the hope of escaping execution then let them rest in peace,  venting hatred does no one any good, we're all guilty of something we don't want shouted from the rooftops, Think of the parents and the hell they have been through, if it was your son how would you feel, let it go they have paid the price for their stupidity.

How many have died or suffered cancer or other disabilities from the legal drug tobacco.  So anyone selling cigarettes or other tobacco products are possibly in the same league, legalised drug pushers. as today we know the damage and suffering it can cause.  

 

Entirely Agree with you as well Seth. 

But u think having the Ivan Milat bridge. Is going too far.,

Pete.... do not know anything about the bridge, but if so ...WHY?

THE Australian Catholic University last week announced it would introduce scholarships in the names of executed heroin smugglers Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.

We’re in for some awkward conversations 30 years down the track if this deification process continues. Just imagine:

“Daddy, why is it called the Chan-Sukumaran Stadium?”

“Well, princess, back in 2015 two young Australians were put to death in Indonesia after they got caught smuggling heroin. So we named the stadium and some schools and libraries after them to honour their memories.”

“Oh. So they were good people?”

“Not really, princess, but that isn’t the point. They got caught doing something bad, but they didn’t deserve to be killed.”

“Hmm. But they must have done something good, right?”

“Well, one of them learned to paint. Except it was mostly the same painting over and over again. And the other one liked Jesus a lot.”

“And that’s all they did?”

“You’re being too cynical, dear. They were young men who didn’t deserve to die for their crimes.”

“Daddy, have any Australian heroin dealers ever been shot by Australian police?”

“Why, yes, princess. I suppose some of them have.”

“Then why haven’t we named anything after them?”

“These questions are very complicated, little one. I’ll tell you when you’re older.”

“I’m 25. Anyway, can you please drive me into the city? If we take the Khaled Sharrouf Tollway to Milat Bridge we should arrive at the Russell Brand Centre in less than 30 minutes.”

......give it 'til the end of the year - if that ??   No-one will even care about the Bali 2 that were executed  - little own remember their names!   

I wonder if finding God in prison is thought of as a "get out of jail card"?
