| | As much as i want to feel pity and sympathy for Annice Smoel, the australian woman locked up after she supposedly stole a bar mat. i dont. after reading reports that she was only arrested because there was no male in the group to bribe the police officer to media outlets that no doubt, will broadcast this naive comment around the world. What kind of person, who is arrested by police, goes off and tells the media that they could have bribed the police officers of that country to let her go?
Yes, we all know that it's possible to bribe police officers in certain countries, but you don't go around and say it to reporters, Is it just me or was she just extremely stupid? And then, of course, her family blames the government for not spending enough resources to help her get out of jail. That's right, blame someone else when ur clearly in trouble.
She got off lucky, had she bribed the police officers, and no doubt, i'm pretty sure that it's not a male requirement to be able to bribe Thai police officers, she would have paid more than she did for a punny little fine that she received from court. Let's all forget that was she intoxicated and probably not knowing that she was becoming a nuisance to the people around her, yeah. let's all blame the thai government for arresting her stealing a bar mat. When you go to another country, you respect their culture and laws, even though some may seem screwed up, tourists who go out and get drunk and cause a disturbance and pretend they're a big shot deserve to get taken down a peg. People in that country don't like it when you come in and pretend that because your from a western developed country, you're automatically better then they are. You're in their country, respect them, respect the law. It's what others do when they come to Australia.
Why can't we just ban alcohol? It's not like there's any benefit. ok yes, a glass of red wine will prevent heart problems or whatever, but i reli can't think of any benefits. That saying, we should ban cigerettes too, i'm sick of inhaling smoke induced air because clusters of students insist on dashing out during their 3 minute break to refuel their cigerette starved body with lung cancer. Why must they stand around in groups? Also, it should be mandatory that they spray deodorant after they finish puffing away, because the stench travels, and when ur in a lecture theatre all squished together, its not that great.
omg, crim crim crim. what's wrong with me!!? why am i still on xanga!! |
