At the risk of sounding racist....

I'm going to have a whinge about our northerly neighbours and those on the sub-continent.
I was reading this story about the Indonesian Government's anger over the way NSW Police used a master key to walk into an Indonesian politician's hotel room and serve him with a summons for the Balibo Inquest.
Now, I understand how this would upset people - I know I wouldn't be happy if I was a top government official and police just waltzed into my room to serve me a summons for a coronial inquiry in a foreign country - but what really annoyed me is the mob that formed outside the Australian embassy in Jakarta.
Check out the pics - the mob were apparently yelling "Get out, get out, Australia"; "Burn it down, burn it down"; and "Go to hell, Australia."
Burn it down?? Excuse me but burning things down is not a fair and just response to a greivance of that nature.

And that goes for the mobs in India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan too, who like to burn effigies and demand the arrests - that's right, arrests - of sporting coaches when their teams aren't doing well.

Seriously, people, if you want to be taken seriously as a civilised country you can't demand burnings, hangings and the like every time you disagree with something.
I have nothing against protests, having taken part in a few myself, but even then I didn't demand that John Howard be arrested or burned.

Mind you, burning someone like Leyton Hewitt, well, I guess there can be exceptions to the rule.

first of all..hot photo dave!
hehe. Secondly, obviously we are indeed much to civilised to take gratification on burning people.
We are (thankfully) far too concerned in spending our lighter fuel on our weekends events...; or as the media circus would refer to it, ice epidemic.
which would you prefer ;)
love ness.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real money.
It's all about how to choose a proper partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
