We expect that if you do something wrong - you can find a soft way through the judicial process -- soft judges, appeals, your mother hated you, your father bashed you, you have an ageing dog to look after ------------- god knows what.
Well, the big news is -------------------- the rest of the world doesn't work like that.
Unfortunately ------------- some countries mean exactly what they say.
It really pays to listen to what Nations say - particularly in law and custom - if you intend to visit.
And, if they say that something that you intend to do is illegal - and will bring severe consequence - well, you need to grow up and listen - or face the music.
There are countries where what I do here in Australia that is perfectly legal and acceptable - is indeed illegal in those countries -----------
so, I just don't go to those countries ------------- at all. After all, I am not missing out on much - those countries hold zero interest for me - they just happen to be on the way to somewhere else ---------- somewhere advanced.
So, easy ----------- choose another route.
But, above all ------------- respect that it is their country and their rules and laws --------------- as backward as they appear to us.
If one wants to bring trouble to one's door -------------- fine, chance your arm -------------- but, be aware that bullets hurt.
It really is simple stuff.

Spot on Pinto. They really have to execute them now. It has become so public and they won't want to lose face. Can't give in. If they give in to Aus now, it will make them appear weak. (Like they see us)
