DanielXR8 Member 17 Member For: 21y 1m 24d Posted 02/12/05 01:55 PM Share Posted 02/12/05 01:55 PM Well I'll be the one to disagree So regardless of what the law is an any country around the globe, we should just sit back and accept what would appear to be a harsh sencence for a minor crime Singapore is a soverign nation. What do you suggest people do about it, rather than sit around as you put it. Does Singapore have the reciprocal right to turn our laws over if it finds them objectionable? Can they have a right to place pressure on our government to take action against you if they dont happent to agree with your viewpoint or do you think Australians opinions are somehow superior to theirs?Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the stats. Poverty , crime, low standard of living (more crime) or the unfortunate ones. death penalty, etc.etc. Is this really the free and equitable Australia that we want? Think about it!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
