RE: Personal privacy or total openness in a committed relationship?

For a relationship to work there must be openedness, but you must also repect the other person's right to privacy... You need to able to communicate what is an acceptable boundary... but first you have to find out what is the no go zone - otherwise how do you that you are trespassing into their privacy...

The Dangers of Microwaves

isn't it interesting, how science vs science, degrees vs degrees... and still no one's the wiser...

One thing your article that you posted did say, is that they can't use microwaves to heat up the blood is true, which is why they do use a different system to keep the blood bags from coagulating....

RE: Corby

But there is another important issue underlying this case, which affects the relationship between Australia and Indonesia: human rights.





Quote from:-

In Indonesia, Australia’s reputation on human rights issues is a decidedly mixed one.

We are seen to protest loudly when our citizens are jailed in Indonesia, following due Indonesian legal process.

However as most Indonesians now know, for years Indonesian children were held in adult prisons in Australia, in clear violation of Australian law as well as Australia’s international obligations.

Were it not for the agitation of a few Australians, notably Ross Taylor and Colin Singer from Perth, these children would probably still be in jail, their causes unheard. Only after the issue began attracting media attention did the government act – and then only grudgingly.

hmm good point... very cheap too!!!

RE: Corby

Schapelle Corby, the young Australian woman whose long jail sentence for drug smuggling in Indonesia became a celebrated case in her home country, could be freed as early as August after a court agreed to cut her sentence.

Corby, now 34, was arrested in Bali in 2004 after airport customs officials found 4.1kg of marijuana in her bag. The then-beauty therapies student insisted the drugs must have been planted as she had no knowledge of them. The following year she was jailed for 20 years, a verdict televised live in Australia.

On Tuesday, officials in Bali said five years had been cut from the jail term. Amzer Simanjuntak, a spokesman for Denpasar district court, said Corby had been sent a letter at Kerobokan jail informing her of the reduction. This clemency appeal was lodged with Indonesia's president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, in April 2010.

The Indonesian judicial system allows prisoners to request sentence reductions, generally for good behaviour. Corby has previously been granted other cuts, and with further time off for good behaviour her sentence could end in mid-2015. Other reports, however, said Indonesia was considering releasing her as early as August.

One factor that could lead to an early release could be Corby's mental health. She has been hospitalised more than once in recent years due to depression.

Even if she is freed, reports suggested, Corby will have to remain in Bali on parole. This would be permitted, even though she is a foreign national, as her sister lives on the island with her husband and children.

In 2006, there were moves to allow Corby and other Australian nationals serving drug-smuggling sentences in Indonesia to be repatriated to Australian jails. At the time, a family friend said Corby might prefer to stay within the relatively relaxed regime in Bali rather than a high-security prison in her home state of Queensland.

Corby argued the drugs must have been planted in her hand luggage, not least because she made no attempt to hide them. Indonesian court officials insist there has never been any evidence to support her claims.

RE: What Coffee do you like?

RE: Corby

Me too (that is having the balls to do something) but I would hope that I never had the ignorance to find myself in that position.. and if I did yell and scream for the australian consulate... but you are right, money talks... and not only in indonesia, but everywhere else in Asia...

One thing about Asia, thanks to the ex, I know what the pitfalls are including throwing brand new packets of paracetamol in the garbage bin, and making sure I had a doctors letter explaining what my prescription medicine was for... all in a clear plastic bag in my onboard luggage, and declaring it...

Have you ever been in a car and the local policeman pulls you over rubs your tummy (not my tummy but my then husband's) and says you eat well, then presents you with an outrageous bill supposively for speeding, yeah right... speeding we were stopping because of traffic works.. Ex paid the bill, no receipt, no nothing, nor did he have the amount that the policeofficer wanted, so he took what was in the wallet.. corruption ... even when it comes to doing business deals... corruption is most rampant... no wonder roads are never completed...

RE: Married but in deep problems query.

Seek help from the Immigration department, or even try and get some person from the Women's Organisations to check on her etc., If you are concerned for your friend you need to speak/yell loudly for all to hear - it takes only one voice to be heard among the many...

RE: Can somebody explain this to me

I have to agree - but I still find real life more easy to deal with ... if you have the time, energy, money to go to places/venues where you can meet people - I once knew a lady who joined a football club just so that she can meet some men... ... (the men were 10 - 15 years younger, but she was happy, she met the single dads)

RE: Can somebody explain this to me

Beautiful and intelligent - maybe like the rest of us females, they too struggle with finding a half descent man - for whatever reason they are on here, that is their business - Not Ours!!

RE: Corby

Well isn't that just so hypercritical - how come others had to do their time and she gets to be bargined for....

Sorry I don't buy it - and I really don't think there is any excuse - It is posted all over the place regarding looking after your belongings, declaring items, not looking after others belongsings.... Even for a first time flyer overseas - I declared what I had, even the lighter and smokes that was in my pocket - didn't matter that the customs guys waved me off - I followed the rules ...

Rules are there for a reason ............ they are there to protect you..
