nun - I don't know how old you are - but its almost a certainty that some day in your life you will get a glimpse of the emotion that Schapelle and others in a traumatic plight may be feeling. If you do you will realise it is a small snapshot into a hell that you will feel immensely relieved you will never have to know.

Ah yes Cuttle.

Hell.

The godbotherers say that one makes one own decisions about landing in that destination.

I guess you are talking about mercy.

i have been in a traumatic situation on numerous occasions

i have been involved in many an emotional heartbreaking trauma

i have not smuggled drugs into bali so yes you are correct i will not know how it feels to be locked up in an indonesian jail ......... but hey i guess thats my choice ..........

can you hear me whinging about my plights here ?

will i get a front page on new idea ?

believe me theres been many a path my shoes have walked of which i would not wish on my worse enemy

will i get a record deal if i hire someone to assess that ive been hard done by in the past ?

im about to swear as i find your post at me as offensive actually implying that i have no feelings towards anothers hardship ....

i do but NOT for someone that placed themselves in that predicament in the first place ...... do the crime do the bloody time and shut the fark up whinging about it

no one sees anything about the bali nine

no one sees anything about all the other drug running scum locked up over there

do you think there feeling mentally stable ?




so why this prima donna whinging moll ?
 
Well said nun.

Basically these folk live on the premise that they have all the rights when sprung and no responsibility for their actions when caught.

My thoughts exactly. Never understood why she gets any more sympathy then any other drug runner.
 
Cuttlefish,

That is a very money orientated thing to say.
Wash your cockle out.

All on asf care more about human beings than money. why else would they post or be members??

It is moot to question the moneys paid to folk in this saga.

I did consider that posting a sarcastic comment could easily be quoted out of context. Unfortunately I considered the integrity of ASF poster's to be higher than it apparently is. Unfortunately that assumption was incorrect Sir Gumnut.

My quote was in response to your focus on the financial particulars of a situation where a dysfunctional society paid for a well respected professional to conduct a review.

For those that missed it

Thats what matters ....

Was in response to:

<GARPAL ON>
So how much is that?

I have a mate who is a trickcyclist.

He's at a conference.

I'll ask him when he gets back.

I'd guess it would be about $15 or $20,000 for the three days plus airfares and a first class hotel.

now heres a different view from a nun

i PERSONALLY have no judgement , qualms about ANY way a person makes a buck . i couldnt care . sell drugs , loan sharking , prostitution , robbing banks

i really honestly couldnt give a toss , ppl will do what they will to feed themselves/provide the cash to do what they wish


that is THERE choice in this world

they dont have to flaunt with the law BUT they CHOOSE to

what sheets me is when they wont cop it sweet when there caught ..


lol aint we always talking about risk/reward ratios here .... well there ya go folks it all boils down in a nutshell ......

do the crime do the time

I'm not about to try to define the word trauma with you. If you have a little understanding of what it is like to come close to the horror of genuinely losing your mind through a traumatic experience then you will empathise with Corby's situation.

corbys situation ?

lol she,s tried everything else to get out of that nasty ole prison and now figures if she pays joe bloggs to write up that she,s going nuts it may be worth another shot ?

spare me cuz ......
 
cuttlefish

it seems this topic has got a lil overheated

i mean no disrespect nor offense to your good self and regret if my posts convey this

my post re "whinging moll" was a colourful way of asking why should chapelle corby be any different to any other case out there

avaniceday
 
no probs Nun - I did skim through the end part of the post and mistakenly misinterpreted the last line as being in response to my post.

You make a valid point about the rest of the Bali 9 and anyone else caught up in there.

no one sees anything about the bali nine

no one sees anything about all the other drug running scum locked up over there

do you think there feeling mentally stable ?


I guess we get a closer insight into Corby due to the media attention and I suspect the media attention has also had some effect on her emotional state - it would be easy to get paranoid under those circumstances.

I agree nobody needs to feel sorry for drug smugglers, but I'll always feel sorry for people that have their lives ripped away from them due to a stupid mistake. I doubt Schapelle or any of the other Bali 9 meant anyone any harm.

Perhaps it would be more correct to say that it is probable that it was the final mistake in a life spent making poor decisions, without any concept of consequences.

Many folk I know live miserable lives under the thumb of drug dealers.

do the crime do the time

I feel the same way.

The fact that the other prisoners have no media circus or fan base helping them at all. Yet the Corby’s end up with book deals, donations, magazine deals, TV interview deals and proceeds from defamation cases. They are also able to spend time with Schapelle as they now have the cash to allow them to do so.
One of the Bali 9 parents live near me. They had to mortgage their house, are struggling financially, and do not have the luxury of being able to fly over on a whim.

One group is left to rot while the other seems to have a different headline every month.

And the sad thing is, Schapelle's Mum and sister probably think it's the best thing to ever happen to them.

Poor decisions often come from poor guidance. Its not as though Schapelle (or any of the others in the Bali 9) had good guidance.

The 'folk you know' that live miserable lives under the thumb of drug addiction (and lets face it, most dealers on the front line are just addicts with mildly better money management skills) will have a history that explains, to them at least, their predicament. But at the end of the day, regardless of the support provided (thank god for the Salvo's) only the individual can prevail.
