Woman facing death for marijuana charges

[hacamatic]

The problem is that the world isn't status quo. Your argument holds no validity, because Bali has different laws than the USA, and just because we may view this law as immoral doesn't make it so. Bali obviously feels very strongly about this law, and to say they're wrong when they are the lawmakers is stupid and pointless. If she's innocent, then the most she has to worry about is passing a polygraph test.

To disagreee with lawmakers isn't stupid or pointless. I disagree with lawmakers from my own country let alone others. You argument that just because they are lawmakers then everyone should not question them is ridiculous. Laws in my own coutnry use to make it illegal for minorities and women to vote. If people didn't question those laws back then where would we be today? International public outcry does make an imapct, case in point, when in Nigeria when a women was condemned to be stoned to death for committing adultry while her male counterpart gets off scott free (How fair and just is that?), International public outcry helped her gain a reprieve ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2023502.stm ).

If Bali feels really strongly about the law, then why don't they apply it more consistenly? Why is it that it has yet to be enforced against well established drug dealers? If they did I would at least have more respect for their convictions, even though I might not agree with them.

All she has to do is pass a polygraph test?!? If it were only that simple my friend.

[Localizer]

White hindu...everyone in this forum isn't under U.S law so don't make that reference.

Ur fukin deluded, do u really think they would give a polygraph test to her in a shitty jail.. the police are corrupt as fuk overthere...

if u were goin smuggle 4.2 kilos of shit that way u must either be A) Retarded or B) not know it was there in the first place..

I wouldn't go so far as sweeping the whole continent as "fucked up." There are many countries in Asia that you would not encoutner a problem like how Corby did in Bali such as Japan, certain parts of China such as Hong Kong, Shanghai and Viet Nam to name a few.

China??

the chinese can lock you up for no reason at all.. i wouldn't mark China as a place i would go to even in my lifetime..

Then you my friend are unnecessarily limitng yourself to a wealth of experience due to your xenophobia. I have had many friends who have played in China to an amazing crowd and who have experienced no problems whatsoever.

I don't think China is the only country that can lock you up for no reason at all. Ever heard of the thing called the Patriot Act and a place called Guantanomo Bay?

Don't think I will make vacation plans to go to Bali . That's a little extreme don't you think folks , shit it's probably one of their cash crops isn't Nepal close by ?

THat's very interesting, considering the fact that it's easier to buy opium than a can of coke in many parts of Indonesia....


But yes..let's throw her to the lions anyway to show the world how morally righteous we are.

Re: Woman facing death for marijuana charges

Some of you are missing the point.. She was caught with a boogie board bag full of pot, she's claiming it was planted on her and she has nothing to do with it. It's not a question of her knowing the consequences of smuggling!

[tien]

that sucks horribly but idk bout that whole "planted" in her bag scenrio. I think she has to bite the bullet no matter what she looks like. It sucks but she shodl know better. Everyone who is about to indulge in some sort of illegal activity should be aware of the charges. Its like that american who was cained for defacing cars or graffiti or whatever it was he was doing. Too bad she cant get back into her country, and charged there in Australia.
