[kj] OT:not Boycotting the UAE is wrong

[jon chapman]

why invade the united arab emirates when we've got lots of shiny red buttons to press.?



Would you be in favour of Western Countries mounting an invasion of the U.A.E and implementing regime change?

  I think your whole statement, tho' proper in a diff' context, is totally missapplied here as a response. 
  If i read correctly the original post, it was about weed stuck to the bottom of a guy's shoe (singular, to boot!) and poppy seeds from a bagel or a roll on another guy - and people's lives are going to shattered and considerably stunted for it. It doesn't seem at all like some "Midnight Express" [the movie] stunt by any means (as it was described). 
 
  To take that and stretch it into intercultural repressive actions is.. i don't even get WHY do that in the first place.
  
  I say we all stick to the Astroglide sanctions against purchasing any further Petrol.Jelly, give that 6 months with a UN General Assembly recognition, and we review then.

What right do we have to pressurise other Countries into accepting our decadent ways? Boycotting the U.A.E. is just as extreme and arrogant as the Islamic extremists who chastise the West for allowing Western Women to drive cars . They have no right to dictate to us about how we live our lives, just as we have no right to dictate to them about how they should live there lives.      Adulterers got stoned to death in Iran , rape victims get prosecuted in Saudi and people with mental problems are forced into being suicide bombers in Iraq , yet you seem to feel that the right to take drugs is more important than these issues .    The taking of drugs is illegal in these Countries and the punishment is severe and when you visit these Countries you should respect these laws . It doesn't mater what the amount is that you possess , simply having any amount shows that you are a user of drugs and that is enough to warrant punishment .   He only had a small amount , but he was drug trafficking all the same and in some Counties this carries the death sentence .    Look at your own society and see what problems drugs have caused : Early deaths, mental problems and ravaged bodies amonst other things and then ask yourself why you feel that other Counties that dont have these problems should allow the drug culture to creep in.    Drug usage isn't acceptable in other Counties or Cultures , you have no right to influence other cultures into accepting Western decadent ways > From: bq at soundgardener.co.nz> To: gathering at misera.net> Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 21:58:37 +1300> Subject: Re: [kj] OT: Boycott the UAE> > 11 - Hellheaven.> > -----Original Message-----> From: gathering-bounces at misera.net [mailto:gathering-bounces at misera.net] On> Behalf Of Mik> Sent: Wednesday, 20 February 2008 1:50 p.m.> To: 'A list about all things Killing Joke (the band!)'> Subject: Re: [kj] OT: Boycott the UAE> > This is your religion!
