Christmas Rush

Christmas Rush (Verb - Of Australian Origin)

1. The time when all Senior Managers have 'Special Lunches' all day and leave their workers to get everything done before Christmas.

2. The time when even dedicated blog writters can barely find time to post anything

3. When close to over 1,000,000 people fight for the same parking spot in Hornsby Shopping Centre.

Ahhhhh thankyou and goodnight.

Controversial?

Ok. It has happened. at 9:00am AEDT, Nguyen Tuong Van, was sent to the gallows in Singapore where he was hanged.

Blogs online (smh.com.au) have divided comments from people. Some say its 'inhumane' other say 'obey the laws of the land'. Australians themselves can not agree on what is right, or wrong on this issue.

I for one, am against Capital Punishment. Let me make that clear.

But I am interested to know where others stand on this, because to be honest, I dont know. The laws of the land are clear. And he broke them. Yes, the punishment is severe, but they are the laws.

Is that the wrong attitude?

Leave a comment with your thoughts.

p.s - and if you are going to say 'The Australian Government should have done more'. Then don't.
