DD: Surprisingly even to myself, I learn alot from you, but it takes abit of pondering and detailed imagination.

Val: True, the webed is the real godfather here.

Kes: Thanks but I don't need to go to any of the islands you know, my kundalini rises regularly, besides I live in an island.

true colours again NRN... name calling/distraction/no substance

Freedom of speech/opinion is great BTW - I am a 100% supporter BUT with that comes freedom to criticise and accept it - something this nation is pretty bad at on the whole

But lets leave it .. but can you I wonder

Everyone has the right to express his or her opinion on this board.......right or wrong. Standing rules apply.....JG's moderator has the ultimate say.

The sooner you learn to accept this, the better for you, and, you'll continue enjoy using this board.

Is there a perfect human?


Another ten islanders from Riau province have sewn their mouths shut during an ongoing hunger strike against Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper outside the House of Representatives in Jakarta on Tuesday.

Isnadi Esman, coordinator of the group of dozens of protesters from Padang Island, said a total of 18 people had sewn their lips together to highlight the House’s failure to act against RAPP for the last two years.

“We demand [the government] halt the operation of RAPP on Padang Island and revoke the decision of the Ministry of Forestry in 2009 to issue a concession for an industrial plantation forest,” Isnadi said.

He said RAPP had been granted 41,000 hectares of land on the island, which totaled 110,000 hectares.

The protest began on Monday.
