Anyone been to Indonesia lately?

Trilby · 08-28-2006, 09:37 AM

No...maybe Ibram? Why?

Aliantha · 08-29-2006, 02:05 AM

Corruption Indonesian style.

1. Send an cop out to sell pot to tourists.

2. Bust tourist.

3. Tell tourist if he/she pays a certain amount of money they wont be charged.

And that's just the start of it...

I understand that the penalty for selling drugs in that country is execution? But only for tourists.

When I rule the planet, there will be no corruption. I will make corruption illegal.

Ahhh...but what will the penalties for corruption be? I would suggest something publicly humilitating along with confiscation of worldly goods, to be given to orphans.

Death by Al Gore speech. That should set an example.

Ow. Would that be a scolding or a hectoring?

Aliantha · 08-29-2006, 07:07 AM

Tonchi....it depends how much you pay the judge.

Which one of those is closer to crushing boredom?

Designated in 2004 by United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, International Anti-Corruption Day recognises the essential global leadership provided at Merida, where 95 countries took the anti-corruption pledge by signing the Convention. They have since been joined by 42 more signatories, bringing the total to 137 nations.

Was that before or after they arrested Kofi's son for corruption and embezzlement of UN funds?

I remember also that the Philippines awaits with dread the latest ratings every year. They were number one for several years and they are proud that they are now only about number three

They just can't understand why all the multinational companies pulled their offices out of the country.

I say we just annex them.

All two million little islands.

Government aside, they're such polite people (generally speaking).

The US needs more practicing Catholics.*

Ohhhh, Slang, Slang. You were there all that time and never really saw. They are only polite to people they need and people they fear. And their brand of Catholicism is so full of superstition and threats that you would not recognize it as the same religion. Mexico, in fact, sends their pedophile priests to the Philippines to get them out of sight.

In her daily google for immigration info, Luisa turned up this analysis of the Phils. by a Canadian. Please read it. It is so true. http://www.ashleybristowe.com/weblog...de9d31ace.aspx It'll take a while to get to the hard facts about the place, because the girl begins by talking about trying to find a nanny and how it brought back all her memories of living and working in the Philippines.

Oh, BTW, Luisa has told me that there is actually a minor political movement there which wants to persuade the US to annex the Philippines again. They see it as the perfect solution to all their problems; we should come in and rebuild all the roads, schools, military bases, and public facilities, fix the water and power systems, and put everbody on welfare. Happiness ever after.

We have to get Mexico all set up first, then the Philippines.

I'm completely rejecting your reality check too. Yes, I know it's not utopia. It's a great place to visit though.

When travelling, people just treat me well. They are on their best behavior. I know that's true. Do they like me or fear me? It doesnt matter to me.
